Damn Am LA 2018 Practice Photos

Posted on Saturday, April 28, 2018 by Chris

It's not our first Damn Am in Los Angeles, but it's our first one at ETN studios. This course is sick and they even added a few new obstacles just for us. Practice was bananas of course... over 100 of the best Ams from all over the globe came to showcase their skills, so why wouldn't it be?! Make sure to download the ETN app so you can watch the Finals on Sunday LIVE.
