Tampa Am 2016: Finals Coverage
Posted on Monday, November 14, 2016 by Chris
If this was your first year at Tampa Am, you picked a damn good one. The skating was on point, the people were rad, and even the typically uncomfortable Florida weather gave us a break this weekend. We're glad you came, and if you couldn't make it, hopefully you watched it live on Streetleague.com. We're gonna say it a lot, but countless high fives go out to Dashawn Jordan for a FLAWLESS run. But we also have to give it up to Zion Wright and Alex Midler, both of which are freaks from outer space that were sent here to dominate the skateboarding world. Check out some photos of the last day and stay tuned for the SPoT Life edit coming soon.

First things first... get a photo of Eli Williams warmin it up for the Semis, he’s got the photogenic moves.
Yoshi would prefer to not have to kick a sea turtle in the face, but if that what it takes to get a Tre Flip to Fakie then so be it.
You close your eyes for a sec and next thing you know your dog is wearing your hat. And I thought I had seen it all!
The real Donny Barley has grinded his own move in this very same warehouse. Jack Olson pays ode to a legend.
Matt Bennett was at the contest and Frankie Villani wanted to show him that he partakes in his manuevery.
An axle stall would be just fine, but Yuto pefers the Switch Tre to get back where he is coming from.
When you’re a powerhouse wrecking ball like Zion, its always good to have back up. DLXs Nate Alton has got it handled.
We all know about the Monster girls, but what about Monster guys? Oochie-wawa! Something for the ladies!!
If Vincent Milou stayed on, there could've possibly been a double Tampa Am win for France. Regardless..you killed it Vince!!
I was a little confused as upon the notification of taking the lead, Dashawn threw his board and started crying, shouldn’t you be happy bud?
Before we celebrate, gotta pay ode to a few peeps with the Thanks For Showing Up award. First up, the group from Japan. These fools are dedicated!!
Gage Boyle accepts the Bromander In Chief award from Boards For Bros due to being a good dude and always donating his old skate stuff.
Mob Grip gave a briefcase away full of 1,000 dollars in ones just for effort!. Justin Sommer is the lucky one.
Ivan Monteiro has been here for a week now skating. It all pays off when you hold down the 8th place spot.
A couple of Jereme Knibbs' homies attempted to prematurely blast the champagne. Good idea in theory but short lived. Jereme uses his 6th place trophy as a shield
A lot of us thought Jagger might take it again this year, but no dice. Still absolutely killed it though.
