“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.

I don’t want to pick favorites but…. I think the Franky Morales Invitational is my favorite competition in the states. It’s close… It could be tied with The Blading Cup, but I also love Miami as a city. I come to Miami just to kick it.. The fact that one of the largest blade competitions in the nation is here as well is a huge plus. Heads up… I didn’t intend to make an edit of the competition. I’ll leave that to the real filmers, I just wanted to film the homies and make a fun one.
I stayed out til 5am the night before the event (bars are open that late here, it’s incredible) so I missed basically the entire beginning of the event. The park, the venue, is so incredible. Fantastic food trucks, a skateshop, they even brew their own beer for the skatepark. I want to do a long write up for this one… Honestly, for such a great event, it deserves a long write up. But I’ve once again stayed up way too late editing this and I don’t have the energy. Thank you to EVERYONE that supports Jumbo. I love you all. Always feel free to say “what up.” It was super cool meeting everyone. If you missed this years FMI, I’ll see you at the next one. - Cody Sanders.
“The semi finals were skipped and the competition went straight to the finals due to time constraints. The top pros battle it out. Julien Cudot, Montre Livingston, Jimmy Cisz, Eric the Shred, Air Damon, Andrew Broom and more. - Weekend Pirate Too.
