Vert skating is still some of the heaviest shit you can do on four wheels. Upstarts Jimmy Wilkins, Tom Schaar and Sam Beckett trade walls with legends Rune Glifberg, PLG and Jake Brown. And then there's the dudes who've never worn pads in their lives - Chris Russell gets stuffed then shuts it down!

Vert skating ain't dead. In fact, it's more evil than ever!

The 22nd annual Skatepark of Tampa Am contest went down this last weekend. Check out some photos here.
