Damn Am Barcelona 2018 Qualifiers & Indy Best Trick Photos

Posted on Sunday, June 24, 2018 by Chris

A full day of ripping skateboarding ended with a bang yesterday, with Damn Am Barcelona Qualifiers narrowing down the top 28 for Semi Finals today. Joorge Simoes brought his skills from Portugal to the Barcelona beaches and gets a straight shot to Finals by finishing on top. To seal the deal, the Indy Best Trick contest was a tornado of hammer after hammer, and Angelo Caro powered his way through to first place. More Damn Am radness coming soon!
