Duane Peters Trying to Raise Money for Hospital Bills

"Recently, at age 49, Peters took a spill while skating in Colorado. His knee was shattered, and infection set in once again. Just before surgery, doctors asked Peters to sign a form allowing them to amputate his foot. Peters made one last appeal to the surgeon. "It's too late in the game for me to start learning to skate with a prosthetic. I guarantee I'll just get a peg leg and go back to drinking and I'm going to die a pirate."
These Ebay Auctions are to raise Money to Pay off Duane Peter's Recent Hospital Bills.
Last month Duane Peters AKA "The Master of Disaster" took a Bad Slam on his left knee resulting in an infection so Bad
that they wanted to Amputate it at the Knee. After many Prayers, Miracles and Several Hundred Thousand Dollars later his
leg is Healing Up Great and he will be back Ripping at a Park or Pool near you Soon! So please Throw Money at this Auction
"Like a Drunk Sailor" and own a piece of Skateboard History and The Honor and Pride that comes with helping one of Skateboarding's Great to get back on his feet again and Keep the Dream Alive!

Duane has been down, but not out!

DP got a strep infection as the Glory Bound Tour came to an end. He ended up in the hospital with a major chunk of flesh taken out of his leg. He finally got out, but had to keep a Wound Vac on his leg to keep it sterile. Today he got to drop the wound vac and has some more healing to do, then a skin graft. DP is unstoppable, he'll be back on his skate, and shredding soon!

Been a while since we've had a chance to update the Blog. It's been a busy past couple of months. Pedro was out in May for the ProTec Pool Party, hot off his last win at the Bondi Bowl A Rama. Pedro continued his pool annihilation qualifying 1st going into the finals. They changed up the skating format this year, getting rid of the Jam and it definitely changed things up. Pedro ended up 4th when the dust had finally settled over the Combi. In the masters Duane Peters and Ben Schroeder were out for blood. Ben didn't make it through to the finals, but DP did in classic style. DP laid it all on the line hanging on to everything he tried. With Frontside Rocks, Invert reverts, Sweepers, Fastplants, Fakie Footplants, BSA, FSA, Backside Ollies and more, DP took 4th in a tight final.
