Toy Machine Skateboards' professional skateboarder Braden Hoban pulled up to the 2025 Tampa Pro for just his second time, and you could tell he was there to throw down.
The 31st annual comp at Skate Park of Tampa always brings the heat, and this year was no different.
Hoban rolled in with a heavy crew - Dakota Servold, David Reyes, Torey Pudwill, and CJ Collins all in the mix.
That’s a solid lineup to have on deck, but let’s be real, the comp wasn’t short on big names.
Guys like Yuto Horigome, Vincent Milou, and Ishod Wair were also ripping, and the level of skating across the board was pretty wild.
Even with all that firepower around, Braden kept things steady and put down a solid run in the quarterfinals.
He made it through to the final day, which is no small thing with the kind of talent that showed up this year.
There’s something cool about seeing a skater like Hoban. Not the loudest guy in the room, but always down to skate and keep progressing - getting the spotlight during one of the most stacked events of the year.
The edit doesn’t try to dress things up too much. It just lets the skating and the crew speak for themselves.
