Qualifiers
There's not better way to start off the day than jumping 25 feet into ice cold water. We left this one up to SPoT Life filter Frank Branca and our friend Joel
Drying up before we head inside to take on the madness that is the Damn Am Netherlands 2023 Qualifiers
Here's a face you may recognize. We met Beau Brunclair in Paris for the Far N High contest a few months back. He went viral for his 270 nose blunt after their best trick contest. Here he is spinning his way into a back lip.
This guy has a tattoo of himself on his own arm. It's the most original Flowriginal Floris Sprenkeling on the scene
SPoT's own Marse Farmer made the trip to Breda with us. We made him skate the Qualifiers because we love him and he's amazing at skateboarding. Front Feeble from Marse
Another familiar face in the mix. Douwe Macare has been coming to Damn Am since AmsterDamn Am in 2006. Here he is 17 years later with a switch 180 crooks on the a-frame hubba.
Stopped outside and caught SPoT founder, Brian Schaefer, grabbing some grub in the Pier 15 food hall.
That's a healthy looking squad right there. This could be an ad for a coming to age skate feature. Let's call it Mid 20's
We caught the Nine Yards crew building some stuff outside. You'll have to find out what it was in the Pier Parade coverage!
Head back inside and we found some old shoes up in the rafters. The cobwebs help keep them in place.
Barely caught this one - Julian with a half cab crook down the rail to end out an incredible run and seal himself a spot in the semi-finals
It wouldn't be a Damn Am blog post without a photo of Paul Zitzer mean mugging. Is there such thing a mug models? Get this guy a gig!
Best Trick
Lot of friends in the crowd filming. Tim Koster the main man in the stripes filming an edit for Flatspot Mag
Hardflip lateflip is the hardest trick to get a photo of so just take my word on it. That's what Julian did here
Congrats to Reemy Aniceta on 3rd place with his 360 Double Kickflip Frontside Lipslide. I couldn't get a good photo of this trick. Peep the SPoT Life to see it go down!
We live in an era where this is a second place trick. Liam LeFranc with a Kickflip Backside Lipslide Kickflip Out. Mind BLOWN
