Damn Am Chicago 2017 Practice & Indy Best Trick Coverage
Posted on Sunday, July 9, 2017 by Chris
Normally most of these photos would be of people drying off the course at Grant Park from the onslaught of bad weather, but Mother Nature gave us a break this year. So instead, here's some photos of what you actually want to see at a Damn Am: amazing skateboarding by amazing amateurs. Registration filled up quick yesterday with all these guys hoping to take home a win and possible Tampa Am / SLS World Tour spot. Best Trick was a freakshow of talent, with Maurio McCoy shutting things down with a kickflip frontlip shuv out on the 8-stair rail. Stay tuned for the full SPoT Life edit coming later today.

Best Trick is all about lettin’ your freak flag fly and show your rare one. Ricardo Downs gets things started with a Willy Grind Pop Up to Five-O.
Floridian ATV Jake Ilardi almost had the KF Front Blunt Biggie Out but settles for just the first part and grappled 4th in Best Trick.
Chicagoan and Repeating Offender Mike Piwowar pulls off his money gun the Nosegrind Nollie Flip Out for 2nd place.
Maurio McCoy don’t feel right unless he’s on that podium... Welp he’s in luck cause here he is again handling Independent Best Trick with a KF Frontside Lip Shuv Out gaining him that 1st Place spot. Congrats Maurio!!
