2017 Damn Am Australia Coverage - Finals & Best Trick
Posted on Sunday, July 23, 2017 by Chris
Man, what a rad weekend this has been. Our first ever Damn Am stop in Australia and everyone killed it. Thanks to all you folks at home around the world that watched the live webcast. We wish you could've made it, but hopefully you got a good taste of how amazing these Ams are. Peep the photos from Finals, congrats again to Daisuke Ikeda on his 2nd Damn Am win, and stay tuned for the SPoT Life episode coming later today.

That kid should pay better attention to the finesse of John Bejarano’s Front Feeble, leaving him with better chances of picking up a skateboard, as opposed to a scooter.
Head judge big Milligan checks the technique on Daisuke Ikeda’s Tre Flip, comparing it to the 3 million others he saw this afternoon.
Commentator: “So here we are with head judge, Matt Milligan. So Matt, who do you think is gonna take it this weekend?!” Matt: “I dunno man, did you see my Front Rock on the blog yesterday?”
Ryder Lawson beautifully Back Three’d his way into the Finals while my fellow photog friend Sam botches the shot.
Unknown Soldier couldn’t quite pull the Back 3 launch so opted for the BS 180, still not too shabby.
Round here you’ll get 4th place in Best Trick with a move like that, Yea Junior! And thanks for the gear!
Good job Mash, but you really shouldn’t put money in your mouth... that’s dirty. On second thought... fuck it. Do what you want.
Joey Cormack kinda came outta nowhere and now lives that podium life in 2nd place. Friggin’ Rights Joey!
