DuFFS Team riders were in full effect at the Into the Void jam at the Works skatepark in Leeds. Rees was on part of the squadrophenia tour and killed it as always, Silvester took apart the street course and got real close to ollie blunts on the newest addition to the park a over vert bowled corner with pool coping, Carl Wilson managed a few Crailslides, Feeble fakies and 5.0 fakies through the corner. While in the big bowl carl also did his first heel flip fs air! TM Munson axled the guard rail round the big bowl and did some Foot plant fakies along with Burntwists, while little Ben reamers killed it with FS inverts in the big bowl plus Kick flip Melon fakies! Before KO ing himself and spending the rest of his visit to Leeds asking himself who he was and why he was there!! Overall a rad event with some pretty sick bands and even better skating - The Works park is well worth a visit.
