Kev fest!
The boys hooked up with Death skateboards and did demos at
the biggest congregation of chavs ever at Rockingham raceway
for a modified car show! Rees the Piece was a sexpest, Raemers,
Carl, Adam and Munson killed the mini ramp along with Steak,
Rob Smith and Zorlac. Fun was had, beer got drunk and girls
got naked, all in all a pretty good weekend!

This years download festival was amazing with some sick bands
and even better skating. On the Friday there was a UK only
comp and after arriving early the DuFFS boys had some serious
trouble sorting out passes and made it through to the bowl
with 10 mins warm up left!
Little Sam Beckitt was ripping and sean Goff was on form!
Munson managed to get through to the UK final and dropped
a few good lines with Lipslides, ollie nosegrinds up the tomb
and handplants galore he ended up in 6th! The weekend skating
went off with Bucky Lasek, Neal Hendrix, Lincoln Ueda, Benji
Galloway and Omar Hassan in the mix with Sandro Diaz, Danny
Mayer and Terrance Bougdour. The sessions were mental with
the best trick going to Juergen Horwerth with a tailgrab 7,
2nd went to Bucky with a fs nollie flip to tailslide up the
tomb!
In the main event Omar narrowly beat Bucky into 2nd but everyone
was killing it. What else is there to say apart from Metallica
were better than ever and Guns and roses sucked!! Bring on
next year! Check out crossfire for some footage of the DuFFS
riders in action, here's the link:

DuFFS Concrete carnage
II.
In case you hadn’t heard the DuFFS concrete carnage
at Rom took place last weekend and went off! Heads from all
over the place turned up to get their hands on some cash in
the snickers best trick comp and prizes from DuFFS, Eastpak
and Independent. The whole park got hit up with the pool getting
the most attention.
For those who don’t know Rom is one of the OG parks
in the UK and is 30 years young! Its rough, gnarly and it’s
a real proving ground, there are endless lines and the fun
potential is huge, as long as you go there not expecting a
street plaza.
