Jake
No reason to hold out on you, let’s get to the meat and potatoes. Jake Wooten right off the bat pulled this heavy heavy transfer to Front 50, after trying once before with no luck and falling on his head right before he pulled it. Good way to start off the first stop of this years Damn Am tour.
Brian
Brian Schaefer chills out in the buffer zone before it all goes down.
Marcus
The early bird catches the worm or in this case Marcus Lizzmore catches a Tre Flip.
The party supplies have arrived!

Do it for the crowd! Some take notice of Ronnie Kessner’s Backtail Slide while others give em the cold shoulder.
Mcdonough Georgia’s answer to El Toro.
Who
Thought this dude's name was Oscar, but can’t seem to confirm; either way he can catch the shit out of a Tre Flip.
