This year's Damn Am Canada was held at two different skate parks in the Toronto. The first day we had three contests: Best Kickflip, Best Trick, and a Team Manager/Industry VIP at Ashbridges Skatepark. Due to the rain, the second day of the Contest was held at Underpass Skatepark where we saw an amazing Finals go down. Check out the photos and our SPoT Life episode from the events. Looking forward to coming back to Canada next year to host another Damn Am.

We did something new this year. We had a Best Kickflip Contest Presented by Sony Xperia. Julien Gagnon has a proper kickflip. |
Dillon Moore rips. This kickflip into the bank was done with ease. |
Best Trick obstacle was the wedge in Ashbridges Skatepark. Looks like it's time for some new graffiti. |
Andrew Wenckstern got 3rd place in the Skullcandy Best Trick Contest with this backside 5-0 to fakie. |
This was my favorite trick that I saw all weekend. Manchild got 2nd place in Best Trick with this blunt kickflip out. |
