Nike SB Damn Am Chicago 2016 - Tourist Mission

Posted on Friday, August 12, 2016 by Chris

While we're holding it down here in Tampa, Schaefer, Eric McKenney and the away team are up in Chicago for the next stop of the Damn Am series. The contest doesn't officially start until Saturday, so the boys got some rental bikes, met up with a couple locals, and hit the streets in search of some favorite spots.
Mike
Plan for the day: grab some bikes, some boards, a bunch of Nike dudes, some homies, and hit the streets.
Before we hit it, Chi-town locals Spaz and G take advantage of the new ping-pong table at Grant Skatepark.

By the end of the day the kids were too cool and dipped on us, but all good…we held it down anyway. Stay tuned tomorrow for practice photos and Best Trick; it's going to be epic!
