Nike SB Damn Am Chicago 2016 - Friday Practice Photos
Posted on Saturday, August 13, 2016 by Chris
Mother nature has a pretty warped sense of humor. Every time we thought it was dry enough to skate yesterday, we got drenched, and just when we were packing it in for the day, the sun came out. In the end, we had to call it and move the Indy Best Trick contest to today, where Qualifiers and Finals will ALSO be going down.

First order of business, The Hoff works hard to get all the banners up for the epic best trick contest later that evening.
Grant Park local Marcus Sarsycki knows best: if you wanna get it in you got get to the park early. Things looking on the up n’ up with a Smith Grind.
Kevin White came all the way out from LA and went straight to the park to catch the early sesh as well.
Master judge Bob Reynolds wants to see this shit go down so he steps down from the judging stand to put in some work.
Team work pays off and the park is dry once again. Marcus takes advantage getting himself warmed up for the Independent Best Trick.
Lets give this one more F’n try. The Lawn Wranglers were nice enough to let us borrow their leaf blowers this time giving us a one up in the game.
Remember all that hard work Hoffart put in putting up those banners for Best Trick? Welp, in the end the the weather won and it was time to pack it up and call it.
