Damn Am LA 2018 Qualifiers & Indy Best Trick Photos
Posted on Sunday, April 29, 2018 by Chris
ETN Studios opened up their course this weekend to 150 skaters hoping for a win at our first Damn Am stop in Los Angeles, California. As expected, Qualifiers yesterday looked like Finals already and the Indy Best Trick was like a circus sideshow. Here's some photos from the day's mayhem. Download the ETN app to watch the Semis and Finals LIVE today at 12pm PST.

Haha, we stuck the DJ and the judges on a love seat atop of Erik Bragg’s Ol’ haggard limo. Thats the kind of classic hi-jinx you can expect from the SPoT/Damn Am gang!

Registration filled up so quick, dudes like Genesis Delagarza, couldn't get in a heat; but at least he got to skate ETN’s killer park and bust out this Kick Backtail.

Jereme Knibbs caught a flying board to the face. Sorry that happened to you Jereme. Switch Front Crook.

Some random dude dressed in all white was super hyped to get a photo with Derick (the registration guy) and his cart.

Like an Irish car bomb, Marcos Montoya takes a Front Crook and drops into a glass of F/S Feeble...just for the fun of it.

Independent Best Trick Contest was on this new weird Pyramid/LA High Bank thing. Tyson Petersen got it started with a Kickflip into the Bank and peaced out.

We are jealous of Kyle Eggen, as he got to skate with The Muska this weekend. He also did this Kickflip Boardslide Transfer in Independent Best Trick.
