Tony Alva, Duane Peters, Mike Mcgill and Kevin Stabb were killing it in the legends sessions, alongside the likes of Renton Miller, Jurgen Horwerth, Andy scott and Duffs own Mattias Nylen. The sessions were hot and Mattias dropped a few bombs in the best trick and giot 6 th with a bs smith shove it and a crazy varial foot plant to fakie he calls “the meat grinder”! more of the duffs squad got to skate in the locals sessions with new boy Blackwell throwing down some huge bs methods, little ben Raemers putting down mctwists, Munson with bs nose grinds up the extension and Cal Wilson with some nice fs stalefish. The bands were killer! How many times do you get to see Black Sabbath, Slayer and Motor Head in one weekend? Little Raemers even got to meet Mike McGill the inventor of the McTwist! Stoked!!!

Raemers meets Mike McGill

Natural Born Skaters finals!
The Natural Born Skaters final held at Bay 66 in London took place on june 19th, as DuFFS riders Carl Wilson and Ben Raemers were unable to attend any of the other qualifying heats they had to qualify on the day. This is probably harder as the local standard at Bay 66 is pretty high! It didn’t phaze the boys though as they both got through to their respective finals. Ben killed the st course and although more known for his vert antics he took the place apart and took 1st place!! Carl also killed it to and ended up in 3rd behind 2 Bay 66 locals! Raemers also put down mctwists in the under 18 vert jam and took 4th place! Overall a great performance by the boys!!

Good work fella’s!

The newest addition to the DuFFS Bmx team Caleb Kilby is out of action for a while, after suffering a badly dislocated ankle while on a recent Roundabout clothing trip! Its not all bad though as the boy already racked up some sick footage on the trip and it should be on dvd and cover mounted on a Ride UK in the not so distant future! Keep those eyes peeled for that! And get well soon Caleb from everyone at DuFFS!!
