Adio and Volcom Clothing Present The Damn Am at Volcom in Costa Mesa

What is it?
It's an amateur street skateboarding contest for factory sponsored ams only. You can also qualify for Tampa Am. Your girlfriend, sister, and/or mom can also get soaked in a dunk tank while we all watch and pitch tents.

How did vert get to be less popular than cancer?
They wear shorts? Who knows, but Volcom tore down the vert bowl, so there is no vert contest this year unless you're feeling generous and want to have one built for us. We're broke like you.

When is it?
Thursday, October 27, 2005 to Sunday, October 30, 2005

How do I register?
Your team manager from a legit skateboard company must register you by sending an email to Rob@DamnAm.com. You cannot register yourself directly.

Is it free to spectate?
Yes

Can my company sponsor it?
Yes, as long as your company doesn't suck. Email Brian@DamnAm.com for more information.
