What a weekend at Damn Am Atlanta. From the road trip to the skating to the new friends and old ones, I hope you had as much fun as I did. Thanks to DVS, Red Bull, and all the other sponsors that contributed to making yet another Damn Am event that leaves us wanting more. I like to re-live the weekend through my photos...

Zack Wallin with a front feeble on the bump to spine. That's a pretty interesting combo of new and old skateboard props.
Jona is the chief at Hazard County Skatepark. Thanks for letting us take over your building for the weekend.
I like how Paul Zitzer kept calling this the rollerblader jump. They love stuff like this. It's good for tranny blasters and grabbers, too. Dalton Dern hucked it all weekend over this thing.
Of course, there's mad meron grabbing going down over that thing. Bud Howard's arm looks like it should have a pirate hook on the end of it with that full sleeve fresh bandage.
The Qualifiers could not have ended any better with Zeke and the entire building chanting his name on that ollie into the quarter.
I didn't see his Jam, but I was surprised when Marcos Montoya didn't make the cut. I wonder what happened there. Next time, Marcos! His sister is documenting him like a pro right now.
Anthony Williams is an ATL local. Good seeing you again, Anthony. Thanks for hanging out and skating.
The Red Bull Best Trick was one of the most hectic I've seen in a long time. Yoshi threaded traffic to get this big flip over the rail. Look how much clearance that is!
Schaefer got the wrath of the old "don't judge a book/hippie by its cover" when he got on the mic and offered this guy $50 for a kickflip, thinking he likely couldn't even push. Turns out he has not just a kickflip, but a kickflip late shuv.
Here's to all the little filmer and photo kids documenting everything in skateboarding and one day growing up to be the ones that share everything that goes on from the streets to the parks. Ya'll remind me of myself as a kid embarrassing my friends by filming everything on my VHS cam, making rap vidoes, fake commercials, and of course skate videos. I'm glad the internet didn't exist back then. Keep killing it, baby nerds.
Red Bull Best Trick winners. Andre did a frontside tailslide frontside 270 out on the hubba to shut it down.
Ty Peterson is part of the ripping Canadian crew that was down here. He's got frontside nosegrind 180 out every time.
Jayden is one of my new favorite Canadians. Thanks for coming to another one. That's a frontside 180 switch crook.
Magic Mike with his crazy kit and lap dance pants ripped and entertained us all weekend long from dance moves in the crowd to hardflip backside lipslides on the rail.
I hope your squad had as much fun as our squad did this weekend. Thanks again to everyone that got crewed up and came here.
We haven't seen Kevin Braun since we met at King of Chicago back in 2009. He came to Damn Am this weekend for the first time and killed it, ending up in 3rd in the Finals. That's a switch frontside flip. Kevin, see you at Tampa Am!
We didn't have enough time to shoot a better one with no hands down, but when the combo is this nuts, you can't complain. A backside tailslide to backside flip 360 out on transition is insane.
Casey is our Skatepark of Tampa Marketing Department, Van Commander, Team Manager, and more. Thanks for getting us all out here for Damn Am Atlanta.
Thanks Brian for the beers, microphone entertainment, and the dedication, drive, and vision to create events like Damn Am.
Congrats Yoshi for winning Damn Am Atlanta Presented by DVS. Check out a few clips of how he won it here.
