Damn Am Skateboard Contest June 2-4, 2006 by boarding.com

Damn Am at 3rd Lair, Minneapolis, MN: June 2 - 4, 2006
Damn Am at Amsterdam: July 21 - 23, 2006
Damn Am at Volcom, Costa Mesa, CA: October 26 - 29, 2006

The Damn Am Series is one of the most widely covered and respected amateur skateboarding contest series in the industry today, along with Tampa Am. It is quickly becoming known as the "West Coast Tampa Am" each year in October at the Volcom Facility in Costa Mesa, California. An additional Damn Am event of the same caliber is held annually in June at the 3rd Lair Skatepark in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Damn Am Series now has two events that both have paths that can lead you to Tampa Am. The top 12 skaters at each event qualify for Tampa Am. The top two skaters at each event qualify for the Tampa Am Semi-Finals.

Coverage of the Damn Am appears in all major industry publications and websites. The events are run by the same staff that have organized and run Tampa Am and Tampa Pro for the last ten years, including Brian Schaefer and Rob Meronek.
