a quick chat with that Damn Am

Ronnie Kessner has been jet-setting around the country this spring. Tampa, Phoenix, Atlanta; all part of the Damn Am skate series in which Ronnie skates against the other top amateur skaters in the country. Pretty legit stuff! And he's been finishing better and better with each event (57th in Tampa and 51st in A-T-L). After the long (and warm) winter we finally caught up with our boy to see how things are as he preps for the Philly Am this weekend.

Ronnie's in Tampa

Shack rider Ronnie Kessner just got word that he got a slot into this year's Tampa Am! The Tampa Am is basically the biggest amateur skate contest on the planet, and Ronnie is in heat 3 today (check out his profile and all the heats here). Starting Sunday there will be a live webcast of the event, so stay tuned to the blog and Tampa Skate Park's site for all the updates. Good luck Ronnie, do your thang!
