Tampa Am 2008

What does it take to win the Tampa Am? The answer is a flawless run and the sickest tricks around…which is exactly what Ryan Decenzo had up his sleeve. All twelve of the finalists were hittin’ some pretty tight tricks, but Decenzo swooped down and took them all out in one run. His bag o’ tricks included huge frontside flips over the pyramid and a nollie back heel down the double set ender. It’s not that the other finalists weren’t landing steezed out tricks, it was simply that Decenzo had an upper edge. Ben Hatchell came out with Caballerial transfers from the vert quarter to the smaller one and was hitting perfect Cab kickflips over the pyramid consistently. Dave Torgerson was landing some massive difficult tricks, such as the tre’ flip and nollie flips over the pyramid. Overall the 2008 Tampa Am satisfied skating fans with an impressive show of tricks some colossal air. Best trick results: 1. Vince Del Valle – Kickflip frontside lipslide 2.
