The FVS storm kicked in early afternoon the day before the start. It was so fast and ferocious that the obvious assumption was that the skating was going to be EPIC and it WAS! Congrats to all of the winners…

Next up is FVS stop 3 and it’s an event that deserves some serious appreciation! What is Labor Day at Drakes? #LDAD4 is 3 days filled with skateboarding that kicks off on Friday, August 31 and doesn’t end till Sunday evening. Things start heating up on Friday as skaters start filling in throughout the day at Drakes for the vert session. On Friday the skating does not end when the sun goes down on vert ramp…it just relocates to Eastern Skate Supply for a nighttime bowl jam. Saturday is when all hell breaks out with a full day of vert fueled madness and with the addition of the Florida Vert Series, BBQ & Brews is sure to be thriller that will be the HIGHLIGHT of the weekend! On Sunday things start winding down with a mellow D.I.Y. backyard crawl. The sessions progress from various spots around town to the next and skaters will be exposed to little bit of everything that Wilmington has to offer. Bob Umbel – “LDAD is one of my favorite skate trips of the year and I can’t wait to get back for another gathering and some Carolina hospitality. They have a great skateboard community, I love the scene they have going!” Adam “Scizzors” Effertz – “I attended Labor Day at Drakes the last couple of years and it is one of the best backyard vertical get togethers in the country and I’m stoked we will get to add the FVS event to it on Saturday Sept 1st. I look forward to visiting one of my former hometowns and seeing my mom as well. Life is good” Streaming Live coverage of the Masters and Open Finals from the Florida Vert Series event on Saturday September 1st at Drakes will be featured on Bob Umbel’s YouTube account at youtube.com/user/bobumbel |
