Well, not Jimmy's actual shoes, because, well, I've been around him when he takes off his shoes. THAT IS NO PRIZE!!! The guys over at ESPN are giving you a chance to win a pair of the Forge in our special holiday color, Chinese Red. Good Luck.

20 NOVEMBER 2009 THANK YOU ADAM BANTON...
These are always weird things to talk or write about, but after almost 9 years, Adam and DuFFS have parted ways. I want to sincerely thank Adam for all of the contributions he's made to the company over the years. He has been a great person to work with, and will always be a friend. You'll be missed. Thanks again for all of your hard work. It's been a pleasure. Good luck.

18 NOVEMBER 2009 kp to brazil...
Kevin Porter is heading for Brazil. Here's what he had to say over on Vinyl:
“Tomorrow I'm heading out to Rio De Janeiro. I'm meeting up with good old Sergio Layos for yet another amazing trip. We are starting in Rio for some demos at a big skate contest and heading to Sao Paulo for some touring around with a friend. I've never been to South America, so I know this is going to be a good one!!!” - Kevin
18 NOVEMBER 2009 COOPER in wa wa...
wrap your peepers around this little edit from Filmmaker Gayton Hagglund featuring our boy cooper wilt amongst others. this short may not be the kind of thing you're used to but be opened minded; take a deep breath and enjoy.
“When a trend hits many copy. It seems to work. The same way zebras look like one big animal when bunched together. Only those with the best eyesight can distinguish between individuals and the mass of stripes. Or in skateboarding’s case seeing through the thick cloud of hairspray.” - Gayton Hagglund

16 NOVEMBER 2009 TEAM NEWS...
Just got this through the wire. check out what team DuFFS have been doing recently...
louie...
Is on an old-fashioned US van tour of the east coast with the Enjoi crew. I’m guessing there’s lots of Cracker Barrel and rain.
james
Is holding it down in Utah. He’s just finishing up a class at the local College. He thinks he’s smarter than us.

cooper
Just got back from Siberia. No, seriously, Cooper was in Siberia. It wasn’t a punishment or anything, he went voluntarily. We have him slowly thawing at the moment.
kevin
Went out to the Johnny Romano bowl jam in Houston and got 6th place. Not bad for a dirty little Oregon kid competing against a bunch of fully padded Vertsmen.

16 NOVEMBER 2009 OSBORNE'S GOT FUEL...
Check it out, our man Brian osborne has got an interview up on fuel tv where he talks about all things DuFFS with andrew brady. brian gives us a glimpse inside his life here at duffs as bmx team manager, sales overlord and general legend. get yourself over to fuel tv to read the full interview:
is it just me or does it seem like this is turning into the alex magallan news page...? anyways, you can't deny that this is an update worthy of such a day. magallan cheats death in this duel with one of the world's most venomous spiders - the black widow. but hang on a minute, maybe it's not so unlikely that alex can toy with a beast of this magnitutde without suffering any ill effects. it's common knowledge that alex has chicks eating out of the palm of his hand and it would seem that this skill even extends to members of the animal kingdom. they say the female of the species is more deadly than the male and the black widow is no exception (the male is some dull ass brown colour and not even that poisonous) so what you see here is magallan getting his own way with one of the most dangerous females in the world - no wonder hooking up at the bar aint nothing to this man...
10 NOVEMBER 2009 chris smith november edit...
chris has to be one of the most prolific riders around, dropping edits at a ridiculous rate. here's november's effort, it would take most of us months to put this together but chris just drops them like nobody's business. keep 'em peeled for another one...
Alex has been riding the hell out of the Sherman for awhile now. In addition to being a totally sweet shoe, it's also Louie Barletta's signature shoe, and Alex's favorite riding shoe. He's been in them for a bit, so I asked him to put down his thoughts of the shoe:
The Sherman, Louie Barletta's signature shoe. Brian mentioned that was my favorite shoe, and I would have to agree. The Sherman is amazing for riding. Mid top look, styling on, and off your bike. My favorite part of the shoe has to be the bottom out sole.The design is like a roller/ wave pattern, grips for days for the pedal. Also last longer than other shoe bottoms I've used in the past. All in all The Sherman is an amazing shoe, it comes in two colors: black and sand.I prefer the sand color. Fresh to def for sure.Go purchase you a pair!
Coming soon... Alex Magallan's book on how to be a human chick magnet.
Alex being hunted by a cougar's mom.
