Converse sponsored the Concrete Jam here at Tampa Pro. They had cash for tricks and Transworld had cash for top 5 tricks over the key hole door gap. It didn’t start till 9 but everyone was warming up all day. Thanks always to PBR for the booze.
Nick
Nick Wallace was warming up these Ollie Norths for hours before the jam. No wonder why he killed it and came up on some cash.
Jake
Jake "Poptart" Welch is known for destroying the concrete. This Nose Grind pull out was easy for him.
Chris
Chris Gregson - Kickflip the key hole.
Mikey Lovit with a tweeked out Grab.
Who
Ollie to Fakie over the gap.
Eli
Eli Williams from Hazard County.
Greyson
Greyson Fletcher killed this shit wearing swim trunks. No fear on this Nose Blunt on the big quarter.
Ishod
Ishod might be saving his energy for the Semi Finals on Sunday but was still able to float a few airs before the contest started.
The course was filling up. Time to get this thing started!
