Yo it's the Tampa Am Concrete Jam and the only thing holding people back is this tiny little chain. Let's break the chains off y'all!
Look at all these beautiful happy people. Just waiting for people to destroy themselves on concrete.
First guy is in. No idea who he is, but he did this little number and bounced. Maybe he was never in? Maybe he was just so hyped he had to do this and get back to his girl in the crowd. We will never know honestly.
That's a familiar face. Mathjis gargling some beer in the name of Flatspot Mag
Someone put a doll on the back wall. I have no idea why it was there and I never heard the back story on it. Scott loves dolls though so...
Flatspot Mag brought the homie Jason Lijnzaat from the Netherlands all the way to the US just so he could show up everyone on concrete. A truly wild man!
Whoever is on the receiving end of this point is in BIG trouble
Bam
Bam Margera showed up and brought the dough. What a night!
This was the very moment that I found out that Lincoln Ueda has a son and that he is REALLY REALLY good at skateboarding
Connor tries to get that crusty ass panda out of here once and for all. Good riddance!
Jake Yanko is your favorite skater's favorite skater. Just ask them
Oh wait Concrete Jam didn't start yet. Not until my boss lights himself on fire
Jason took the easy way over the fire and went kickflip into a roast beef. Is that roast beef? I am a street guy.. I didn't sign up for this!
Here comes Raphael with a FAT lien over the door.
Pretty sure I saw Nick Wallace's shoulder come out of the socket during the bowl jam Thursday night, but here he is back at it one footing his way over the doorway on Saturday.
That's one fiery Canadian boys! Caleb Nicholls sliding his way through the flames.
Alley oop cab from the one and only Nick Papa
15 foot long back lip slide from Jake yanko. This dude should be pro by now!
Brian throwing a can of After Sesh by Cigar City Brewing into the crowd. They are ALL 21 years of age.
It's not a Concrete Jam without a little collision.
shake it off boys!
Maybe they all collided from watching Jake Yanko touch every obstacle out here!
Firework sesh! Is Clint Smith back there lighting those?
Boom goes the dynamite

Then straight to the doorway! What are these dudes eating up there?
Just look at everyone's faces. That is the expression of someone watching Jake Yanko skate.
Raphael Ueda pulled this one out of his sleeve first T. Kickflip indy fully immersed in the crowd.
Nick Wallace sticking it to the damn Cookie Panda
The talented Skyler King joins in on the wall jam party and adds a front tail to the mix.
Lengthy crook fakie from Jake yanko over the doorway and through the woods to Grandma's house.
Look at all these beautiful people!
The sound it made when Connor smacked his tail on this one. Woooo!
We had ourselves a blast. Time for some awards. OJ Door Gap Best Trick going to Jeff Rasp for the alley oop fs grind.
Jake Odle ain't leavin' empty handed! He got the Opera Balcony Best Trick with his FS Noseblunt yank in
