Damn Am Chicago kicked off yesterday with over 100 Amateur Skateboarders elbowing their way through Qualifiers, hoping to make it to the Semi Finals today. If the stoke level wasn't high enough, we capped the day off with the always insane Independent Best Trick. Check out some of Bart' photos from the day.
