Lazer Crawford Wins Damn Am LA

Published

on

Lazer Crawford landed first place in Damn Am LA, securing a straight shot to the semi-finals in this year’s Tampa Am.

Toa Sasaki, Malachi Gray, Abner Prieto, Taiga Nagai, Cole Wayka, Junnosuke Hasegawa, Koston Eaton, Sena Watanabe, Matty Jessee, Yuki Sawashima, and Nobi Villalobos made it to the top 12. They will automatically qualify for the Tampa Am Saturday Qualifier.

A global amateur skateboarding contest series, Damn Am is a pathway to Tampa Am. Over 10,000 skaters, some of them now top pros, have participated in the event since its inception in 2001.

To qualify for Damn Am, a skater must meet any ONE of the following criteria:

  • Prior participation in Damn Am / Tampa Am events
  • Support and backing of established industry brands
  • Footage showing ability and skill that we think could be potentially enough to place in the top 12

Held at The Berrics, Damn Am LA is the first of the series this year. The next stops will be in Murakami, Japan (June 9-11); Breda, Netherlands (July 12-14); and New York City (September 8-9).

The 29th Tampa Am will be held on October 12-15, 2023, at the Skatepark of Tampa.

Those who did not qualify for the Tampa Am via the Damn Am can still get their shot through the Last Chance Open to be held on Friday, October 13.

Visit the Skate Park of Tampa website for more details about the Damn Am.

Let’s rewind to how Giovanni was able to push his way up to get the Super Crown.

In the Chicago and Sydney stops, he managed to land in the nine club in the knockout rounds, but they weren’t enough to get him to the finals.

But come the Super Crown Championships, he was able to land three nine-club scores, with 9.4 being the highest, enough to snatch the crown from his closest rival, Vincent Milou.

Watch how it all went down in the video above.
