The heat turned up literally and metaphorically for day 2 of Cowtown’s 18th annual PHX AM at the Desert West Skate Plaza. 1st place qualifier Tanner Van Vark got the golden ticket to the finals where he put on a wallie circuit on the hubba. AZ local Lazer Crawford had the crowd on his side with his huge ally oops airs & hardflip back lips down the handrail but it was Brazil’s Giovanni Vianna who stole the show with his insane trick selection like Cab FS noseslide & half cab (the hard way) nosegrind down the hubba that got him to the top of the podium. Thank you to all of the spectators and all of AMs who came from far and wide to compete this year. A very special thank you to Cowtown Skate for always hosting such a great event, well see you next year!

Back to the Desert West Skateboard Plaza for another year of the best amateurs in skateboarding battling it out under the Phoenix sun. Pedro Delfino made things interesting early with a ski style transfer over the key hole and got the crowd fired up. The Pabich patch kids Cedric & Roman dominated their heats by taming the transition with inverts and airs on the big wall before the silent but deadly Nick Michel won the commentators vote for trick of the day with a one foot to 5-0 bonk on the pyramid rail. We’ll see you tomorrow for the Semi-Finals kicking off at 11AM. Cant make it to Phoenix? Tune in to the live webcast at phxam.com tomorrow morning at 11AM PST.
