The DSF Skate and BMX series has finished! The finals were unbelievable! There was a huge turnout and loads of support from the crowd. The skateboard and BMX competitors battled it out for four weeks to try and score as many points as possible. At stake per division were Dhs1,000 worth of vouchers for first, Dhs700 for second and Dhs300 for third. Plus loads and loads of Rage goods!

The BMX competition got better and better every week. The level of BMX at the competition got to its highest standard for the finals, with everyone going really big to rip up the park.

The juniors have been the highlight of the whole competition. Seeing such young talented skaters gives some indication how good the future generation of Dubai skaters will be.

The pro final was the apex of anticipation for the Spanky vs Colm battle. With first place being given to each of them regularly, the finals were an opportunity to raise the bar. Both riders came with massive tricks and bags of style. After four weeks of all the pro’s skating hard it came the finals to bring the best of their tricks. Peep the results. Big thanks to Joven and Omar for the photos!

AHHHH SHPANK!

 The first leg of the DSF Skate and BMX series took place this weekend. There was a big crowd and plenty of competitors ripping up the park. A sudden downpour and strong winds plagued the professional finals. However this did not stop Spanky from landing a front side lip slide down the big red rail and Colm attempting a nollie flip down the double set.

Highlights of the day included the second heat of the juniors being held off to let Mark Gavigan kick flip the double set. He did it perfect and rolled away laughing.
