This weeks table has a little more to it than the usual.. This week we have Matt Coplon from Florida. I met Matt many years ago, when we used to frequent there (Florida) when the Winters got crazy here. He was a local ripper at the now defunct “Central skatepark” in the Tampa/Clearwater area. We used to ride with him whenever we were down there. Over the years Matt and I have become friends and we have kept in contact. Today Matt has a bunch of stuff going on, he works at Profile racing and he is the team manager for the Profile/Madera teams. He’s always out riding and I enjoy seeing pictures of him shredding!

Matt wrote the following about these pics he’s sent in: “The first part of this story is the curb and its significance. There are no curbs like this in Tampa. We get the really steep curbs that are almost unrideable. Perfect for directing the monsoon rains we get in summer time. This curb in particular has a slight tranny into it making it really fun to, well, I guess technically air. Only found it about three weeks ago cutting through an old neighborhood in Tampa. Fun is in the simple things…
The second part is of the two tabe variations. I have had the hardest time learning regular tabes. Although I’m still working on em’, this spot proves to be a place where I do figure eights (by myself), regular tabing up the street, turning around to do an opposite one back to the bottom of the hill.
I love spots like this, just puts a nice big smile on my face.”
