Ladies and gents, it's Damn Am Time! First stop as always is the backwoods of McDonough, Georgia at Hazard County Skatepark. Yesterday was all practice, as over 100 Ams tighten up their skills in hopes of coming out on top for a chance to skate Tampa Am and the 2018 SLS Pro Open. After warm ups were over, we went right into the Indy Best Trick, followed by a mini ramp jam as the sun went down. Check out Bart's photos below and stay tuned for coverage from Qualifiers and Finals today. Let's do this! Photo: Bart Jones
