“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.

Miami, Florida / New York City - After many delays and missed deadlines we finally release this very special piece on a very special day so be sure to wish Justin Brasco a Happy Birthday in the comments.
We’ve spent a short amount of time in Florida to avoid some cold days of a harsh winter then met up for a handful of sessions in our hometown of New York throughout the spring and summer. Some days were simple while others were chaotic and that’s how we love it—spontaneous and unpredictable plus some high blood pressure moments that skating in the city inevitably brings. Enjoy & cheers! - butterTV.

This weekend was a reunion of the skating fam! Here’s a quick edit I made on the plane ride home. So much of my upbringing came from the skating community. It’s very dear to my heart. Enjoy! - Brazilionaire.
