Prior 1995 the concept of a nationally recognized amateur skateboarding competition was non-existent. Initially, Tampa Am started as a small local contest, but was famously won by Donny Barley in 1996 kickstarting the phenomenon that it is today. Today, if a skater refers to "The Am" everyone knows what they're talking about. Over the span of its 30 year history, Tampa Am has established itself as the ultimate battleground for the world's elite amateur skateboarders, setting the stage for future professional careers. Early victors of Tampa Am, including skateboarding legends like Donny Barley (1996), Nyjah Huston (2005), Felipe Gustavo (2007), Luan Oliveira (2008 & 2009), and Dashawn Jordan (2016), have not only turned pro but have also become some of the most well-known figures in the skateboarding. Tampa Am is an institution that's accepted as the Global Amateur Championship. As the level of skating continues to rise, so does Tampa Am's reputation as the most important contest in skateboarding.
