Tampa Pro 2017 - Converse Concrete Jam Coverage
Posted on Sunday, March 5, 2017 by Chris
Last night's Converse Concrete Jam was lit! And I literally mean "lit". As if the contest wasn't gnarly enough, Jenkem mag came through with some crazy portable party extension, complete with go-go dancers, a disco ball, and fire. Yes, fire. I'll just leave it at that and let the photos do the talking.

People lined up to get their beers before the show started just outside. Thanks to PBR and Monster for getting the juices flowing.
Daniel Vargas and Charlie Blair share a joke before the session begins. Charlie was sharing good vibes with everyone all week. You’re a champ Charlie!
We were all lucky enough to watch the premier of a new video from Nike SB, titled “Loud Pack”. Thanks to Nike SB for making that happen, the video was super sick!
The media crews were out in large numbers by this point in the night. ETN was here filming the Live Webcast for everyone that couldn’t make it to Tampa this year.
Halfway through the contest, Brian offered Wes $500 to jump in. He declined in the most casual way possible, by heading to the bar for another beer.
Someone always pushes the boundaries of these Jams. In this case, Tom Remillard literally did that with a 50-50 stall on the outer limits of the course.
It was called the Jenkem “VIP Lounge”, complete with disco balls, rave lights and even a few dancers to tie it all together.
Our Converse Concrete Jam announcers Brian Schaefer, Jeff Pang and Frank Gerwer about to announce the top 3.
That's Jeff Pang holding a pretty sweet bass donated by PBR for the winner of the Concrete Jam. And that was...
Top 3 for the Concrete Jam - Tom Remillard (2nd), Cody Lockwood (1st), Jake Wooten (3rd). Congrats boys!
Samurai Shotgun was our first live act tonight. They have been killing the southern music scene for years with their unique style, which includes live scratching from the one and only DJ Qeys.
They always bring tons of energy to the stage, and the crowd always responds. It got a little out of hand, in the best way possible of course.
