This is The Flow Skate and BMX Park in Columbus, Ohio. This expansive building hosts riding possibilities for both skaters and bmx riders alike. The Flow got behind gro Experience and donated the use of the park for the event in June. Thank you Craig and Shannon!

With Skate and BMX workshops, there are a lot of things going on at any time. The news reporter covering the weekend was a rider himself and with a daughter. He already knew of Angie Marino and was excited to bring his daughter out to learn with a top professional. Training wheels and all!

Skate workshops with Mandy Esch for both the local girls and the tour girls that are learning to ride new wheels. Even the girls for the contest were able to take away some great tips.

Gracie Bails was one of the top girls from the contest. At only 11 years old, she can ride it all. From bowls to hips and ledges to rails, she has something on about anything you can put in front of her.

Christiana Smith claimed the top spot for gro Am in Ohio. Such a quiet and polite girl, you would never expect the power and pop behind this one. Her variety of tricks and overall charging put her in first. Come see Christiana at the last stop in California!

Thank you to all the girls who stepped up to the contest for gro Am in Ohio.

Also thank you to The Flow, etnies, NBC, Caveman Industries, Mad Cow Skateboards, Madrid, Bones, Yeah Zine, Love Is Skate, Jo Show Promotions and all the other sponsors!
