Quoting Gabe Holm : (thanks for mailing me!)

I’ve known Jeff for about 6 years now and he’s always been cocky but it’s all in good fun cause he always backs it up. Jeff loves rollerblading and is dedicated to it. He’s known for lacing big drop kinks and this past weekend he drove up 4 hours from Rhode Island to visit me in Vermont where I’m going to college and for another attempt at gnarr drop off kink in Burlington VT. B-Town is the hub of east coast snowboarding; the home of Burton many pro snowboarders and skiers come through to ride street in the city. Jeff Anderson one of snowboarding’s most progressive rail riders (R.I.P.) f/s boarded the bottom half of this kink rail that’s located on the waterfront and the picture was in Transworld Snowboarding Magazine.

As soon as I showed Dalnas the rail for the first time he wanted it. A little over a month ago on the way to the Montréal Classic with some skaters from Boston Jeff stopped to attempt it. He came very close after committing on his first attempt and knew he could do it. On his second attempt he wasn’t so lucky and flew off the rail flipping onto the stairs. His arm got caught in the between the stairs and it has been hurting him since.

Jeff was said he was “loosing sleep over it and had to come back to lace“. After a few run ups to get his adrenaline going he stayed on it the whole way down but slipped out at the end slamming hard and almost bashing his face on the ground… This didn’t phase him however.

Jeffery eats kink rails for breakfast. This was one of the “hardest kinks to land that he’s done“ he said and this time he ate it for dinner. Although this is one of his biggest hammers I don’t see him getting full anytime soon. Skating tastes too good and he loves it way too much to stop skating anytime soon. Jeff has been skating for 11 years now, he grew up skating with some of the best in Rhode Island, just made the Skatepile Pro Team, and I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for him. Big things for Jeff Dalnas in 2007!

The US got his 666 rail and here in France, we have what we call the 666 Ledge. The ledge is not 666 feet long, but is the ultimate devilish skating spot !

666 is commonly known as the Number of the Beast in Book of Revelation chapter 13, verses 17-18

Some french skaters (Skatayann, Vasco, Rouquin, PA, Steph, Paulo (Guizmo), Nico, Ris, Djey) decided to ride the beast, here is some footage from Skatayann and Vasco :

There are some classical clips that almost all Skaters already saw, you have the Eric Perkett Huge Gap over 3 set of Stairs, the horrible fall from a roof to a rail that have been featured on almost all ‘look at my horrible clips’ websites and you have the Leap of Faith that a lot of skaters tried. Well the spot have been destructed if i’m not wrong.
