Time is running out for you to become involved in the most covered and respected amateur skateboarding
series in the industry - The Damn Am Series.
We are currently preparing our ads and marketing plans (which will include your company logos) for this
summer that will appear in each of the top skate publications.
Sponsors that have supported
the Damn Am Series since it's inception three years ago will receive first refusal rights for exclusive
sponsorships.
The Damn Am Series is becoming known as the "West Coast Tampa Am." Each year, it's reaching a
larger audience of real skateboarders, including top ams. Nearly half of the skaters from the
Damn Am 2001 Finals are now pro.
Several from
last year's finals will also be turning pro soon.
Check out a small sample of some of
the coverage from prior year's events by clicking here.
We look forward to working with you for another successful year of the best and only 100% skateboarder
owned, supported, and organized am contest series out there these days, along with Tampa Am.
Please contact us with any questions you have about becoming associated with the Damn Am.
You can find details about both exclusive and non-exclusive sponsorship below.
Very Important: Registration is open to the industry for both events
beginning March 1, 2004.
There are only 100 spots available, so don't end up being one of the hundreds on the
waiting list like last year.
Team Managers must contact
Rob Meronek (Rob@DamnAm.com) to get their riders registered.
Sincerely,
Brian Schaefer (brian@damnam.com)
