Nass
DuFFS were in full effect again at this years NaSS event, with team riders Mattias Nylen, Carl Wilson, Lee Musslewhite, Phil Aller, TM Munson and Blackwell all in the house!
Munson, Mattias, Carl and Blackwell did some demo’s on the vert, the swede put down some more mctwists!! Carl chucked a few kickflip indy’s in the mix and munson put down some burntwists, Blackwell also skated in the street and managed to get through to Sundays final!
He was a crowd favorite and fly around the course, with kickflip footplant body jars on the wall behind the 1/4, and ended up with a barrier leap to flat! He ended up in 6 th and 250 quid better off! Phil Aller wasn’t so lucky and managed to get his bike stolen on the Friday night! Nass is a chav fest! And the little bastard who stole it is probably doing his paper round on it right now! Phil is on the case getting a new ride for the urban games!!
Lee Musslewhite was in the flatland arena killing it as ever, dropping some of the most technical runs of the weekend. Another good event despite the chav’s!

The Mentor session in Torun, Poland!
The 4 th mentor session went off in Poland, with the full euro globe team in the house and a pretty sick course the competition was fierce! Carl ha already qualified through to the semi’s after getting in the top 10 last year and went on to cruise into the finals along with the cream of the euro’s! carl’s final runs were good but a couple of falls put him down in 8 th place, in the best trick carl put down backtail shove its over the 8ft 14 to14 gap and a kickflip back tail! Munson put a couple of inverts down on the 5ft of vert wall and tobias albert threw down a huge fs 3 transfer and ollie blunts on the wall and a crazy hard flip to fakie over the 1/4 to 1/4 gap and was robbed of the win to a switch back tail down the big ledge from one of the 5boro guys who were on tour!! The trip was amazing apart from one detail! One of the duffs squad’s friends took a big one on the first visit to the park on Thursday night and spent the entire time in hospital! One brain operation later and a major blood clot removed and he should be back in action as we speak!! Get well soon Phil!!
