by Rob Meronek on Tuesday, March 27, 2012 12:48 PM

So much went down during Tampa Pro from Thursday to Sunday, it's hard to shrink it down to a single edit. I had my phone out and was filming the whole time as usual. In this edition of Rob Meronek's Cell Phone Edits, we have:
  • The TM and Industry VIP Contest.
  • The empty Tampa Am Vert Contest.
  • Chris Haslam working on some old car.
  • The People's Temple and Black Lips.
  • A little bit of the bid'niss and production meetings and how damn fun it is to work at SPoT.
  • Brian Schaefer giving SPoT tats.
  • A search to bust some ticket scalpers who sold fake tickets for $100.
  • A bit of webcast rehersal.
  • DJ Wade's performance.
  • Mike V's battle with the wall #1 including the clip that Rob Dyrdek tweeted about.
  • Weezy trying to throw greetings to the judges while they're working. They ignore him because this job is serious.
  • Body discussing how we are all Ryan Sheckler fans.
  • Tunechi's impromptu demo in the back.
  • The Moat Race as seen from our offices.
  • Harmony Korine hanging out.
  • Weezy feeling Odd Future and Waka Flocka.
  • Sean Malto's amazing nose manny to nosegrind and how he made it up last minute.
  • An interview with the receiver of crazy tats.
  • Mike Vallely getting lifted.
  • A bit of the awards.
  • Head judge Jason Rothmeyer's report on the Slap Message Board sentiment after the results were announced.
  • Shout out to the Maintenance Department crew.
  • A chat with a lurking drunk girl.
  • Drunk antics at the Arnette After-Party.
  • Ryan Sheckler getting girl mobbed in the streets of Ybor.
  • Jack Moran trying to get a kiss.
  • B-list actresses who can't get their lines right.
  • Fred Gall getting DFL in the Contest and on the dance floor.
  • Our early morning meeting Monday morning to figure out how we can make Tampa Pro even better next year.
  • And more! Wow, what a weekend. Thanks to everyone that was a part of Tampa Pro and helped us do what we love doing.
  • I still can't believe you can film, edit, add titles, and all that 100% on your phone these days. Technology has progressed as much as skateboarding. This entire thing was made on iMovie for iPhone.

I film a lot with my phone, generally for the purposes of comedy.
