Another amazing Damn Am from Japan comes to an end and once again, we are more than grateful to DC Shoes, NHS and everyone that helped get us here. It goes without saying that the level of skating was off the charts. A huge congrats to the top 3 and especially to repeat winner Sora Shirai. Check out the last batch of coverage and we'll see everyone in Los Angeles!
