2017 Damn Am Atlanta - Practice & Best Trick Coverage
Posted on Sunday, April 9, 2017 by Chris
Ladies and gents, it's Damn Am Time! First stop as always is the backwoods of McDonough, Georgia at Hazard County Skatepark. Yesterday was all practice, as over 100 Ams tighten up their skills in hopes of coming out on top for a chance to skate Tampa Am and the 2018 SLS Pro Open. After warm ups were over, we went right into the Indy Best Trick, followed by a mini ramp jam as the sun went down. Check out Bart's photos below and stay tuned for coverage from Qualifiers and Finals today. Let's do this!

Pat Donivan gets savage and hacks a piece of Crailslide off in the backyard before the park lights were even on.
If this Front Rock from Matt Milligan doesn’t show you that our staff rips then I’m sorry I just don’t know what does. ; )
Nothin' wrong with a lil flip in flip out but Blaine Partridge keeps it photogenic with uh bs Noseblunt Slide.
Do you know about Jared Cleland’s Fakie Crooks? Well if so you gotta know he’s got em’ lock on the block.
I think this is Alec Spinosi but not sure, I think he landed this Kickflip Backlip but also not sure. Are neither of these right?? Here’s the photo just in case.
Lot of tricks went down in Best Trick, Niko Howard did a couple of 'em here's one of them: Kickflip Grind.
Midler stuck with what worked best and did another Kicky Backtail to win the Independents Best Trick, Smoke um if you got em.
Following the Best Trick, Austin Curry gets the Mini-Ramp jam cooking with a Footplant Fakie on the LinkinLogs.
Damn Am filmer Matt Hudson stays to true to the SPoT employee rule: you gotta skate and you got to rip otherwise you’re cut! JKJK thats not a rule.. should be though!
Don’t let the freckles and helmet fool you, Roman Hager will talk down to you like you’re the one that is a child! Then skate like a full grown as well.
