Cowtown’s 24th Annual PHXAM presented by VANS is officially in the books.

Big congrats to Deyvid Tuesta Mota and Jiyul Shin for taking 1st in Men’s and Women’s, and Junseung Lee for claiming Rockstar Energy Best Trick with his insane Heelflip Frontside Bluntslide Bigspin out!

PHXAM weekend kicked off Friday night with our Welcome Party & Art Show at Legend City Studios in Downtown Phoenix. Lalo Cota and Adrian Garcia held it down with new work and live painting, turning the night into a benefit for Cowtown S.K.A.T.E. Good people, good energy, and a proper way to start the weekend. The Shop Beer Co. came through once again with the PHXAM “Goldfish IPA” featuring a limited Lalo Cota label – tasted as good as it looked.

This year’s PHXAM course at Desert West was one of our best builds yet. Designed by Colby Carter and brought to life by Brian Pino and California Skateparks crew, it all came together perfectly. Lalo Cota steered the ship on painting the course with an underwater scene that somehow kept it feeling cooler in the middle of the heat. The curved rails on the Rockstar Best Trick feature, the big kickers with the 7′ gap, the 14’ kinker and everything else in the park got ripped all weekend.

Saturday came in unusually hot at 100+ degrees, but no one backed down as the YETI crew kept everyone hydrated and the riders fed with some amazing food. The first 500 through the gates got hooked up with PHXAM VANS gift bags, and Tent City was going off all day with all your favorite skate companies, games, and chaos in the best way. The crowd kept it moving chasing free product, prizes, and whatever else was going down, including a dunk tank and some questionable haircut decisions. The skating was hectic and Arizona’s own Koston Eaton set the tone early, qualifying first and locking in his Golden Ticket straight to Finals.

Saturday night we cruised to thePHXAM After Party presented by Rockstar Energy at 9th & Jackson. Night Lovell closed it out, with Jahir Carbajal, O.J.S. and DJ Goth setting it off. Packed room, loud all night, and yeah… The Shop Beer Co. kept the PHXAM beers flowing.

Sunday we got to it, Semi-Finals, Finals, and Rockstar Best Trick. Everyone turned it up chasing a piece of the $22K purse, with Men’s and Women’s divisions both paying out $5K for 1st, $3K for 2nd, and $1K for 3rd, plus the PHXAM Saguaro trophies. Dj Kate Scratch Fever kept the energy high from start to finish while some epic skateboarding was going down, and for those not in Phoenix, the whole thing streamed live worldwide via The Platfrm.

Huge thank you to our partners VANS, Rockstar Energy, The Platfrm, YETI, California Skateparks, The Shop Beer Co., Thrasher Magazine, Dickies, Real Skateboards, Independent, MOB Grip, Bones Wheels, Bones Bearings, Pro-Tec, Autumn, and the City of Phoenix, along with all the brands and vendors that brought Tent City to life – showing up for skateboarding the right way, supporting the community, the next generation, and everything that makes this culture what it is!
