Mark Stevens was a great guy and a great skateboarder, loved by all. He went too soon but we can only imagine the spots he is skating in Heaven.

Friends on Facebook write;
Robbie Cleveland writes "Today we pay tribute to a home town hero who was taken too soon. I can't wait to see everyone #SkateForMark and kill it in today's contest. Mark Stevens watch over us, keep us in that persistent light you always had.

In the shred we trust, amen."

Alejandro Musa writes "

Looking forward to this memorial skate event for Mark Stevens, hosted by @getaboard! This is why I love skateboarding. #skateformark#candylandskatepark #orlandodoesntsuck #orlandoskateboarding"

GALACTIC TEAM RIDER COCO TORRES

4on4&extra Contest Series Party Pictures and Video

4on4&extra was a video contest series put on by skateboard local, Carlos Leon. 

Carlos put together a video contest series of local skaters doing 4 hard tricks followed by a bonus trick. 14 skaters laid it down for Orlando skateboarding and our shop hosted the awards event.

This contest series was put on to put the skateboard community together in a grassroots way. Carlos looked for people that have the skills, yet were not getting the recognition they deserved. He wanted to publish not only Galactic G team riders, but kids that were out there in Orlando putting in work. 

The photo's below are a collection of the Award Ceremony for the 4on4&extra video series. 

We want to thank everyone who came out to support skateboarding in Orlando, and let's keep pushing this healthy sport.
