The Am Slam is an amateur skateboarding contest series, designed to give local skateboarders an arena to compete in and an opportunity to excel. The Am Slam is a points-based series, which means skaters will work to accumulate points all summer and those with the highest points will advance to the Finals event. Although there will be some great prizes and trophies given out to top placing skaters at each stop, it is the winners of the Finals that will take home the CA$H and the title of SUN DIEGO’S 2013 AM SLAM CHAMPION!

WHEN AND WHERE?

The 4 events will take place June-September 2013 Saturday June 29th – Wavehouse in Mission Beach Saturday July 20th – Clairemont Skate Park Saturday August 17th – Carmel Valley Skatepark Saturday September 14th – Melba Bishop Skatepark, Oceanside DATES AND LOCATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE, so PLEASE check www.sundiego.com for all the current information.

Anyone can enter the Open Division if you think you have the skills. The Open Division will award the biggest prizes!

You can download and print a waiver in advance from www.sundiego.com. You still need to arrive one hour prior to your division start-time. Each division will last about an hour and a half beginning with a jam format (two 10-minute jams of 20 skaters each) and ending with 10 finalists advancing from the jams and skating in one-minute runs each.

POINTS SYSTEM

Each contestant in each division will earn points at every contest, even if you don’t place. Your points will be totaled up from every contest you enter and the 30 skaters with the most points in their Division will be invited to skate in the AmSlam Finals. Keep in mind, you don’t necessarily have to skate in every event to be the points leader in your division. In fact, it is perfectly possible to skate in just ONE event and still make the top 30 for the finals!

The Points totals will be posted on www.sundiego.com after each event so you can always log on to see where you stand.
