Deep in the mountains of Tehachapi, California lies a skate paradise known as Woodward West Camp, and it's home to our second to last stop of the 2016 Damn Am Series. Over 100 skaters came out to showcase their skills and get a shot at auto-Qualifying for Tampa Am in November. Saturday was the Vert Comp and Independent Trucks Best Trick, which makes today the main event. Here's some photo evidence that modern skateboarding kids are actually, probably hybrid robots.
