It's day 2 of Damn Am Australia, and Qualifiers are a wrap. Daisuke Ikeda and Mikey Mendoza managed to secure a spot in the Finals by placing 1st and 2nd, and the rest of these guys must be part kangaroo or something, because there's been some seriously crazy footwork goin' down (under). We'll have the SPoT Life episode posted up later for you, but for now - here's some photos. Photos: Bart Jones

After a long day of contesting, we usually like to get the SPoT / Damn Am gang together for a nature walk to reflect and find our Zen, when by the grace of God we came across this amazing bowl situation known as PortSide.
