DIRT NAP 2024 – C.O.F.F.I.N AND SONIC REDUCER AT THE LANSDOWNE FOR SLS SYDNEY

 

 

Sydney was buzzing this past weekend, and Santa Cruz and Independent Trucks were in town to throw down after day one SLS knock out rounds. Local punk legends C.O.F.F.I.N, along with Sonic Reducer were the perfect cap to a day of shredding.

Sonic Reducer opened the night with a barrage of punk riffs and their fast-paced, gritty sound set the tone for energy to follow. When C.O.F.F.I.N took the stage the room was primed for chaos. Known for their high-octane performances, C.O.F.F.I.N didn’t disappoint with a set that was reckless and powerful. Ju Jitsu action up front smashed a light fixture by the second song, providing more consequence in the pit for fallen comrades than just an elbow to the face.

Dirt Nap at The Lansdowne became the perfect fusion of punk rock and skateboarding. The night was an unapologetic celebration of everything that makes both scenes so epic to be a part of – we’ll see you next year.

THIS IS HOW TOM ASTA BECAME ONE OF THE BEST SKATEBOARDERS ALIVE: TRUE GRIT | SANTA CRUZ SKATEBOARDS

 

Life comes at all of us differently. Some people use their situation as an excuse and others use it to fuel their fire. Tom Asta grew up in Langhorne, Pennsylvania and still calls it home to this day. One of the more humble people we've met, Tom takes you through coming up in the skate industry that was based on the other side of the country, with no plans of ever "Going Pro". Natural talent and his great attitude brought him to the likes of Chris Cole and Jamie Thomas who helped him become the seasoned Pro he is today. We are proud to present to you the Tom Asta True Grit.
