“So the real winner today was Miami because it kicked everybody’s ass. It really was almost last man standing…” - Arlo Eisenberg.*

up: Mery Munoz at the FM Invitational, 4th edition.

Miami, Florida - October 7th, 2023. In its fourth event, The FM Invitational was high energy throughout the entire day. Kicking off with the Juniors competition, then working its way through the Bladies, to the Quads, and finishing off with the Men’s competition - each event had a strong crowd cheering everyone loudly as the celebratory screams echoed throughout Skate Bird (which is the name of the park this event is held).

A lot of great skating was happening from all different directions which sometimes makes it difficult to capture every moment so it’s always recommended to check out all the other media coverage that comes out of these events to get a sense of who did what. With that being said, Chris Edwards held down the mic and kept things in order along with special guest Arlo. It was a long day and it was a fun one. Be sure to catch the next one Saturday, Oct 26th at the same location! Cheers! - butterTV.
