| Vern Laird's got that Philly wall ride. |
| Jesse Fritsch is usually on the U, but he's got frontside 180's down the gap in the TM Contest. |
| One of the few people in the TM Contest to hit the rail - Vern Laird. |
| Bart Jones is going back to work at Skateboarder Mag after this blunt fakie. |

| Mark Akiyama, thanks for the amazing glass gifts. |
| Nate and Jake Ilardi are ready to skate and document the Tampa Am Vert Contest. |
| We did not do the Tampa Am Vert Contest next to the scrap yard on purpose, but after fewer entries than the amount of people required to run the Contest, the scrap yard is where this event is going. |

| Clay Kreiner won it. |
