Jeff GilmerChris Cole at the 15th annual Johnny Romano skate jam.

The 15th annual Johnny Romano skate jam wrapped up on Sunday in Houston, Tex. Over the last 15 years, Houston's Southside Skatepark has helped to raise over half a million dollars for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The top pros and ams from the skateboard industry come out to hang with the kids, participate in raffles and other fundraising events, and skate best trick contests where the winnings are donated to Make-A-Wish.

The bowl jam went off without a hitch and after 25 minutes of mayhem, Ben Hatchell took home first throwing rewind grinds and flip tricks in everywhere. Next up was best trick contest on the bank to wall. Justin Brock skated like a wild animal and made a slew of insane tricks including a backside tailslide shuv it over the quarter pipe. Chris Cole, being the all terrain vehicle he is, pulled off a backside tail stall backside flip out and although it was insane, it was not enough to beat the half cab nosegrind to fakie that Evan Smith took from bank to wall all the way to the big quarter pipe next to it.
