Tampa Am 2019: Independent Best Trick – Jereme Knibbs, Jake Wooten, Austin Zito – SPoT Life
The Independent Best Trick bypasses the flat bar this year and takes it to the bank to wall. Just like old times. Chaos ensues. Side note: if you’re thinking of throwing hate because Anthony Anaya didn’t crack the top 5 with his Peterblunt grind kickflip fakie, it happened way after time ran out so save it.
