Yesterday’s Open Qualifiers at Tampa Am 2017 was like a cattle call, with over 250 hopeful young skaters trying to break into today’s heats. With all these skills and only the top 10 advancing, the judges definitely had their work cut out for them. Watch the live stream for FREE today and tomorrow at 12pm EST by downloading the ETN app. No subscription necessary. Here's a quick link to get it. Photos: Bart Jones

If you see legendary skate photog around Matt Price, congratulate him on his consecutive TWS covers and ask what he’s filming for. He might not want to be bugged; but do it anyway.
