PHXAM is among the world’s most important amateur skateboard competitions, next to Tampa Am. With a $20,000 prize purse, the annual event provides a proving ground for upcoming amateur riders.

Now in its 20th year, this year’s edition included the first-ever “Cash-or-Crash” Best Trick Contest, a photo exhibit remembering the work of photographer Joe Hammeke, as well as an After Party featuring hip-hop artist Xavier Wulf and the premiere of Arizona skate video MIDTONE.
