ETN Studios opened up their course this weekend to 150 skaters hoping for a win at our first Damn Am stop in Los Angeles, California. As expected, Qualifiers yesterday looked like Finals already and the Indy Best Trick was like a circus sideshow. Here's some photos from the day's mayhem. Download the ETN app to watch the Semis and Finals LIVE today at 12pm PST.
