Chasing the Neon Lights: Violet Sneaks Over to Magic City
6/23/2023
I decided to put a trip together and go to Miami. One—because it was wintertime and there are like four places to go, and two—I knew the vibe there was gonna be right. The Violet crew has never been on a trip together, so this was a first. I had imagined it was going to be heads waking up at 3 PM after partying or being on the beach ’til sunrise, but it was basically the opposite. The crew was down in the SUVs early and ready to skate every day. Things I remember were the coffee at Versailles, the check at Joe’s Stone Crab, Kader surfing the top of the car going 20mph. Shout out Lot skatepark heads. Oh, and I can’t forget Puerto Sagua on Collins in South Beach. Things the team heads remember—well, you’d have to ask them. Overall, it was a great first trip. Violet is UP and everyone seems excited for the next one.
Watch as Violet brings the vibes to MIA and makes it official with Kader and Troy
