Finals at Damn Am Costa Mesa was a freakshow with so many talented rippers it would make your head spin. In the end, it came down to three: Wacson Mass, Zion Wright and Alex Midler coming in first. Check the photos for proof. Photos: Bart Jones
You partied Saturday night with the Damn Am crew, Sunday morning comes you might be a bit hungover so no better way than to be greeted by the 805 Brewers serving a lil bit of hair from the dog that bitchya. OH! 805 like the area code?! I get it!
