Man, what a crazy final stop for Damn Am this year. Ivan Monteiro picked up not only the Santa Cruz "Smasher" Award AND 1st place overall, he also clenched the Damn Am of the Year award. That means he receives a Tampa Am Finals Golden Ticket and an invite to skate the 2018 SLS Pro Open. Yeah Ivan! As if the Finals weren't enough, the Indy Best Trick quickly turned everyone's head and Daisuke Ikeda won it with a 360 double flip down the LES double set. Photos: Bart Jones
