Keeping in mind all the proper safety precautions, we ran this scaled back Social Distancing Edition of GFL Series here in The Boardr Headquarters with a limit of just six people per division. Thanks to everyone who stopped by, respected the restrictions we're working under, and made the best of it. Check the video recap, photos, and results below and at GFLSeries.com

During Thursday night’s City Commission meeting, Chief Scott Rosenfeld and members of his team, presented a check for $1,400 to Mike Rogers, founder and president of Grind For Life, Inc. (501c3), to assist breast cancer patients with long-distance travel for treatment.
Thank you, Mike, for all you do. See you at the skatepark!
Grind For Life, Inc was founded in 2003, by life-long skateboarder Mike Rogers, after his second battle with sarcoma cancer.
Mike's tumor was located behind his right eye and nasal cavity. He endured a 17-hour cranial-facial resection with a brain-lift, removal of his eye, cheekbone, half of the roof of his mouth, and some of his teeth. He beat cancer once as a pre-teen, and again 25 years later, beating the odds, and continues to be a competitive skateboarder.
The mission of the Grind For Life organization is to provide financial assistance to cancer patients and their families when traveling long distances to doctors and hospitals, as well as educate and inspire these patients and families concerning cancer survival and recovery.
Thanks to all 140 of you that entered Grind for Life this weekend in New Smyrna. We've got the video and photos recap below. Check GFLSeries.com for results and future stops.
