The kickflip was a popular move for the young bucks

Alejandro knows how to chill just like Big Al

A properly caught kickflip in the 9 to 12 Division

If you're hitting the rail and you're 9 to 12 years old, good job

It seems like every contest we have the younger divisions keep getting better and better. Back feeble the flat rail

Jared Baker broke his arm skating the seven stair rail at the Park, so he couldn't skate in the Contest. Bummer

This kid will probably have a pretty sick kickflip when he grows up

One of the girls in the Contest and she was going for it down the stairs

One of the most popular kid tricks (for some reason), the pop shuv tail grab

It's fun to look at the young Division photos and see the potential for good style later in life. That's the case with this backside flip

Kids love the seven stair and all wanted a trick down it in their run. Front 180 while Rob enjoys the scenery

Not many kids went for the bump to drop route. I thought it was sick. Pop shuv

I was shooting photos from the announcing area and all of the sudden I see a beard and a Low Card hat walking up the stairs. Thanks for coming down from Atlanta, Big Al

The hottest mom of the Harvest Jam watching the Contest from the bleachers. Big Al actually called her out before the Award and told me to get the photo

DJ AK, or Adam Kearley, our product photographer, was kicking out the jams all day

This Dad was beyond excited for his kid getting top three. They came down from Georgia for the Contest

Product Toss time!

Back feebles are as popular as front bigspins

Kickflip down the seven

Rob posted how many bigspins were done at Damn Am on the site for that article. I didn't keep count, but there were just as many backside feebles at Harvest Jam

I think this was one of the Atlanta kids that came down for the Contest. Back feeble, also

This kid was "Baby Body.” He was a little husky but totally killed it. Frontside 50-50

See? Baby Body was holding it down. Back lip

Vert dudes used to do doubles sometimes. It's cool that the kids are into it, too

A properly caught 13 to 15 frontside flip

Dylan Perry, Ian Gow and Pat Stiener, judgment day

This was baby Bert Wooten, complete with Rip 'N' Dip baseball tee. Cannonball

Body enjoying a little snack between 13 to 15 and 16 and Up

Even though course reconstruction is going on this week, we'll always have a handrail. Crooks

Mike Espinosa is on City Stars, part two. Three flip

Remember when everyone loved fitted hats? Now everyone loves snap backs. I made a snap back section of hats in the Shop. Not trucker hats, but proper Starter style snap back hats. Come check them out sometime. This kid is feeling the snap back trend and is also feeling a back lip down the rail

I think this is one of the Georgia boys who came down for the Contest. Three flip

Timmy Knuth got retired from All Ages Contests

Jeff Macar is carrying the torch of skaters doing lawn service for Clem when he's not backside flipping the hip

Who Dat? Three flip over the hip

I live with Brandon Knowles. We'll go skate when our schedules align and he always does a backside bluntslide on the deck of pyramids like this. I wonder if Brandon taught this kid that trick

We called this kid "Robert Plant" for his long hair. He killed it and got the judges extra hyped when he three flipped the pyramid. This was his back feeble

The favorite trick of the day, Robert Plant's 3 flip

A posse came down from Progressive Skatepark in Georgia for the Contest and this is one of their kids. Front smith, not back feeble, thanks

The frontside flip will always be popular with the kids thanks to Andrew Reynolds and Tom Penny. Progressive kid, frontside flip

I don't know what Ian's sticker means, but when he asks me to shoot a photo I don't say no. It reminds me of the session we had at Houston's Easy 7 ditch on the Johnny Romano Jam road trip

Sam Bianchini came out from Orlando to skate and got this front shuv down the seven stair in his run

Still don't know this kid’s name but, he was at Vert is Dead, too. Frontside flip

Another Who Dat? ripper. Front tailslide

Pyro Sierra is always ripping. Nollie varial flip

Pyro Sierra, back smith

Who Dat? again with a front smith grind

Sam Bianchini. Frontside 5-0

Mike Espinosa was hoping the Contest had a cash prize he could add to his baby money fund. Enjoy fatherhood

Who Dat? again. Please come to the Park more often than just on Contest days, kids

Feebles can be done frontside too, apparently. Who Dat? knows

Two of my favorite people in the sketchy skateboard business – John Gow from Vans Apparel and Jake Mednik from The Kayo Corp

Yep, Peewee Kirks’ Shaqueefa face tat is still there

Pyro Sierra ripped all day. Back lip down the rail

Pyro Sierra, backside crooks

This was one of the ATL kids who came down. Nollie frontside noseblunt slide

Dave Cruz is back in town from living in Atlanta

Frosty was fired up Saturday afternoon and talking s**t to everyone

I don't know who this kid is but he's a friend of a friend of Frosty's. He was talking to me and said "You're like a grown up dork." Good call, kid

Top five for 16 and Up

Top five for Sponsored

Product Toss madness

The Product Toss got pretty intense

Thank you Expedition One for sponsoring the Harvest Jam

Park Rental Session

After the Contest wrapped up, I clocked in and did my real job, working in the Shop. We had a Park Rental from 11pm to 2am. I didn't have to stay for it, but the guys seemed cool and let me go skate with them. After I saw them getting some tricks and talking with them for a minute I thought it would be cool to shoot some photos. They were genuinely hyped to be here skating, I was genuinely hyped on their enthusiasm and appreciation of getting to skate something other than their town's pre-fab park. Here are a few photos we shot. And you can rent the Park before or after hours any time, just call the Shop at 813-621-6793 x209.

This is Sam. He's from Brunswick, Georgia. Backside shifty down the seven. Sorry for the butt shot, I thought he was going for a frontside flip

I never got this guy’s name, but he had the shove it tail grab down cold

This is the frontside flip I mentioned earlier. Proper catch

The reason they all came down was for this kid’s 16th birthday. His name is John and he was just as hyped to be at the Park skating

John from Georgia, pop shove down the seven. After this my flashed ran out of juice
