Tampa AM 2005比赛

2005年Tampa AM比赛于1月20日至23日在美国Tampa市的Tampa板场举行，这是一个著名的板场系列比赛，每年一届，除了面向AM滑手的Tampa AM比赛，该板场还会举行面向PRO滑手的Tampa PRO比赛，由于Tampa比赛连续多年的办赛经验和参加滑手的范围越来越广，Tampa系列比赛已经成为美国滑板界的一项重要赛事。今年的Tampa AM比赛由DVS板鞋品牌和HAWK滑板服饰赞助，有来自全美的111名AM滑手参加，多家滑板媒体的全面报道，比赛实行淘汰制，有34名滑手进入半决赛，最后将有12名滑手角逐决赛。

恭喜小滑手Nyjah Huston夺得冠军

比赛热身期间Zero公司的PRO们也来到场地为大家献艺，Chris Cole, Jamie Thomas, Tommy Sandoval, Dan Murphy等滑手都来到了现场。Tim O'Connor则担任了此次比赛的解说，他的幽默语言不时引起场内滑手的笑声。比赛结束后还放映了Think公司的新片"iThink"。

比赛虽然是面向AM滑手，但大家的水平一点也不比PRO们差，尤其是很多新人滑手让大家眼前一亮，下面是现场的部分照片。
