Tum Yeto Tum Yeto at the Damn AM contest. Damit.

Come check out the Damn AM contest later this month. Matt Allen, Tommy Gurrola, Slash, and Shuriken Shannon will be entering. Here's some fun and vital info from the sweet folks at Damn Am.

What is it?
It's an amateur street skateboarding contest for factory sponsored ams only. You can also qualify for Tampa Am. Your girlfriend, sister, and/or mom can also get soaked in a dunk tank while we all watch and pitch tents.

How did vert get to be less popular than cancer?
They wear shorts? Who knows, but Volcom tore down the vert bowl, so there is no vert contest this year unless you're feeling generous and want to have one built for us. We're broke like you.

When is it?
Thursday, October 27, 2005 to Sunday, October 30, 2005

How do I register?
Your team manager from a legit skateboard company must register you by sending an email. You cannot register yourself directly.

Is it free to spectate?
Yes

Can my company sponsor it?
Yes, as long as your company doesn't suck.

Where is it?
It's at the Volcom Warehouse, 1740 Monrovia Ave, Costa Mesa, CA 92627 Directions: 405 - South / 55 south / Right 17th / Right Monrovia / Volcom is located a 1/4 mile down on the right side.

What's going on each day?
