2017 Damn Am Australia Coverage - Qualifiers

Posted on Saturday, July 22, 2017 by Chris

It's day 2 of Damn Am Australia, and Qualifiers are a wrap. Daisuke Ikeda and Mikey Mendoza managed to secure a spot in the Finals by placing 1st and 2nd, and the rest of these guys must be part kangaroo or something, because there's been some seriously crazy footwork goin' down (under). We'll have the SPoT Life episode posted up later for you, but for now - here's some photos.
