2017 Tampa Am Finals Coverage
Posted on Monday, November 13, 2017 by Chris
Another epic Tampa Am in the books... the skating just gets more insane every year and so does the variety of culture that comes to our city for it. Huge thanks to all our sponsors for making this the best one yet, and congrats again to Gustavo Ribeiro on taking home first place!

Mann that flatbar had to have a lot of wax by end of weekend. Marcos Montoya takes advantage and glides a Back Smith to the other side.
Whether it’s hair-dye or a handkerchief, these two know it's important to keep your head piece tight.
Remember Jorge Simões? First place qualifier that gets to skip straight to the finals? He's back at it again, gettin’ warm while they tally up scores from Semi’s.
He has arrived: Giovanni Vianna. Here in the USA we have gotten your message loud and clear and we can’t argue that you are the Fakie/Half-Cab/Cab King!!! Fakie Bluntslide.
We’ll get to the awards, but lets take a break to talk about the underground world of Champagne Popping...
Gabe Clements has been poppin bottles for sometime now and by the looks of it, he enjoys every bottle pop like it was the first time.
Registration guy Derick Glancy seems to be having a bit of beginner's luck dousing a poor Monster Energy girl, whereas Gabe seems to have drawn his attention toward Marcos.
Kelly finally got his bottle pop’t but shoots with kind of a limp stream, aside Wayne Schaefer who has his bottle popping down to a science as he’s been doing this since the 90’s.
They end the Champagne popping ceremony with a good laugh about the now drenched Monster Energy girl.
