On Saturday, in the shadow of the Street Qualifiers for Tampa Pro, the Tampa Am Vert contest was held where Ben Hatchell dominated to win both the Qualifiers and the Finals. Ben who says he had not skated vert in a year had no problem besting a field of 24 top amateurs. He even pulled a blunt kickflip fakie, a trick that most professional can’t do. Brazil just keeps turning out vert rippers as Italo Penarrubia skated into the second spot. All the way from England, Sam Bosworth took third. The next three spots were standouts from last year’ Gatorade Free Flow Tour.
