A DAY BY THE SEASIDE
The first DuFFS comp of the year went off! With over 150 kids in attendance at the Park at Gt Yarmouth. First off was the team comp: the kids were split into 3 age groups and could have up to 6 people in each team. Every team had a name and had worked pretty hard to put some lines together at the park.

Under 11's
'Egg But No Bacon' took the prizes with some rad inverts, wall plants and crazy combo wall rides over the doorway!

12's to 14's
The winners were 'Meat and 2veg' who used the whole course, dropped some nice 360’s over the box and stayed on!

14 +
''The Tramps' took over with Dave Davies kf boards on the rail, bs disater reverts on the midi and kf bs tailslides on the block from Adam Howe, some crazy weird lines from Demi, and 360 flip lips from Paul - they killed the course!

Best Trick
This took place on different obstacles around the park, the competition was tight and the kids killed themselves. Oliver Bolton deserves a mention for taking at least 2 of the best trick prizes including the high ollie contest!

DuFFS DEMO
Little Ben Raemers was flying as usual, nice bs flips ovet the driveway, bs melons over the big box and a rad fs nosepick on the block on top of the midi ramp! Carl Wilson kf indeed the box 2nd try, Tre flipped the driveway all day and did some huge ollies on the midi!

Ian Rees and Scott Underdown came down from Nottingham and represented, Rees did some huge fs ollie wallrides and took apart the course at full speed all day! Scotty cruised and did some nice lines on the block and rails. TM Munson did a huge fs ollie 5050 on to the top of the flat bank and some nice Burntwists and miller flips on the midi and Hoax/DuFFS flow rider Tom Lock was also there cruising with some rad hurricanes and transfer lines. The sticker/product toss was carnage as you would expect and the kids were stoked! All in all a rad day with only one word to describe it “FUN”

FLAT AND PROUD.
DuFFS BMX Flatland killer Lee Musslewhite has been working hard on getting a flatland bike company off the ground. All the products are designed by Lee using a 3D CAD program.

"The drawings have been sent off and we are now awaiting our sample models back! We are hoping to get them in around a month or so. As soon as the samples arrive I will be putting out a press release and pics anouncing the brand name and its products. I will also be shooting for a vid the second I get the frame and that will hopefully be coming out in the next month as I am totally ready now . Then I will be hitting up NASS in Bath on the 16th of july and Urban Games the following weekend on the 24th. After those events I will be going on a sorta tour hitting up every thing I can and getting as much exposure as i can. Also I am doing a pilot for a production company comissioned by the Extreme Channel, if all goes well they will be doing a 6part flatland series."
