Damn Am LA 2019 Qualifiers, Women's Finals and Indy Best Trick

Posted on on Sunday, May 19, 2019 by Chris

Yesterday at the Berrics, we packed in about as much skateboarding as you can fit into a single day's contest. With the Women's Qualifiers followed by Finals, these ladies showed us what we've been missing out on up until now. Neex Washington took home a much-deserved win with style for days. The Men's Qualifiers followed and we closed it out with the always insane Indy Best Trick.
