Where does your inspiration come from? I would like to ask Duane Peters. He placed 3rd at the 10th Annual Tim Brauch Memorial Contest this past weekend. The man is 47! Not only did he lose a wheel on his first run, but he kept riding and grabbed “trick of the day” and a couple of tacos for the effort. The “Master Of Disaster” rode against legends of skateboarding such as Steve Alba, Steve Caballero, and Christian Hosoi. It was obvious Christian or Caballero would win after the first round so Peters was left to ride for himself and for the crowd during the finals. A position in which he thrives.
