Thee old top n’ down clown via Lipslide for Matt Bullinger.

Most top notch pros ain’t goin to no stinkin’ am contest to kick it for the love, but then again Justin Brock ain’t your average pro; he’s cool as shit. Getting’ jiggy for the camera with his son Jasper.
Jereme
So get this! Jereme Knibbs launched off that near quarter pipe up top to Backside 180 Nosegrind to straight!... Ridiculous!! Although my dookie-esque photo may not show such epicness.

Greg Holt fucks with Arizona Ice Tea and Crooks top and over.
Kanaan
Kanaan Dern might've only missed top ten by one spot, but when it comes to Gap 5-O’s? He ain’t missin’ shit!
Marcos
What’s cooler? Marcos Montoya’s Back Noseblunt up top or homie posted ramp side? Sorry Marcos... gonna have to go with homie. Next time bud.
Fletcher
Fletcher Renegar does a lotta things. Wallie Stalefish is one of em.
Christian
Christian Dufrene messes around with BS Noseblunt Slides and cops 8th place.
Markus
If I had to come up with a metaphor for Markus Jalaber’s skating, it would be Amish whipped homemade churned butter … yeaaa real smooth.
Jake
If you know Jake Wooten’s skating you know he’s maniac. If you saw him at the contest you know he’s a maniac… in otherwords, he’s a fuckin’ MANIAC!!!
Eli
Classic game of catch and release. Eli Williams knows the reel.
Niko
Open up the door, sailin’ all four, all you heard was Niko don't love ya no mo!!
Jereme
You think Jereme Knibbs just randomly ended up in the end of this sequence of photos randomly?.... Yeeaaaaa I don’t think so bro.
Jona
If you’re a total idiot and have no sense for sarcasm, the Thanks For Nothing award actually means thanks for something yuh dummy!! This one goes to Jona - owner of Hazard County Skatepark. Thanks for lettin’ us hold this shindig at your pad!!
Matt
Next Thanks For Nothing award goes to Bilingual Lensman, Matt Hudson.
Jake
Last TFN award goes to Phillip, Jake Wooten’s uncle. I don’t know much about the guy but I guess he’s like hella cool n’ junk.
Eli
Eli Williams won the Bronson Speed Ring award. I think that means he goes like dumm fast; and that he does. Dead giveaway. Look him up!
Jereme
Yeaaaaa we could have each podium placer have their own lil’ dorky personal photo but we said aye forget about it!! Lets get the whole crew up here!!! If you made it this far I’m assuming you already know that Eli Williams got 3rd, Niko Howard got 2nd, and Jereme Knibbs most definitely got 1st but just in case not; this is me telling you right now! Yuh dig!?
Jereme
But no seriously... a special congrats to Jereme Knibbs on getting dat 1st place spot. This is only the first stop of six Damn Ams this summer and if stop one is any implication of how things are gonna go, it will be beyond epic!!!
