Damn Am NYC 2016 - Finals Photos
Posted on Sunday, September 18, 2016 by
LES park was flooded with Ams yesterday for Damn Am NYC Qualifiers & Finals. The talent was off the charts, and these dudes gave it their all. In the end, Zach Saraceno came out on top for the second Damn Am in a row, with a solid run and style to match. After the dust settled, we moved it over to the double set for the obligatory Independent Best Trick contest, where the stakes were raised even higher. Check out some photos from the day and stay tuned for the SPoT Life episode coming later on.

We was all like: How in the world have we not heard of Noah Nayef?! This kid is too ripping; turns out he’s from Australia... the other side of the world. Right on; guess that makes sense.
All weekend long not too many reckoned with the cheese grater, but Ginger Bandit gotta away with a Piv on his way out.
Plenty have told me that Austin Hufnagel is related to Keith Hufnagel but no one ever told me about his Back Flips.
We told the shrimps a 100 times to get off the course. They would not listen... Christian Henry tries to shoe em off.
It's that damn kid with the yellow helmet again getting in the way! Niko Howard fights him of with a Front Crook.
I woulda thought Santiago Rodriguez was a local with how eazful he rallied into the twinkie - but nah, homie is from Uruguay.
I knew New York was the Big Apple, but I did not know it was a green apple, who woulda thought?! Tyson Bowerbank doesn’t give a shit and Impossibles over it.
What kinda nut jumps down the double-set in their run? Fuckin’ Maurio McCoy that’s who! First try Heelflip.
WARNING: Double-Set Spoiler Alert! I’m jumping ahead here a bit, but Dashawn did quite a few tricks down the double for the Independent Best Trick so I gotta spread em apart a bit here. Here’s the Switch Flip.
DOUBLE-SET DOUBLE SPOILER ALERT!!! Zion might just hold the record for biggest Back Three in a a visor with this one.
Maybe Zach Saraceno coulda had a cool Double-Set photo to to end this thing if he skated best trick but instead all I got is this Gap Smith Grind of him and he won’t even let us see his face.
LES Double-Set master Maurio McCoy surprisingly didn’t even make top 3 in best trick but still got away with this blazing hot Frontside Flip.
Like a cannonball shot into the crowd, Zion closes out his NY weekend with this mega blast of a Back Heel.
Congratulations to Yoshi Tanenbaum for coming in 1st at Best Trick with a BigFlip down the double, photo looks like shit, so I'm not even gonna show you.
Karl Watson hung out all weekend and is an all around nice guy, so of course he gets the other Thanks For Nothing award.
Leave it to the dude to that jumps down the Double-Set in his run to take home the Bronson Speed Killer Award.
