DLAMINI DLAMINI INTERVIEW
Photo by Sam Clark
You were featured in the recent AV Skateboarding Issue 11 video. What were some of the highlights and lowlights of filming your part?
Yeah man, it was a real challenge for me. It was my first proper video part, so I was stoked on it. Highlights: Damn! Traveling around S.A. It was really cool. I got to skate a lot of different spots and met some rad new people. Chilled vibes. Lowlights: Getting busted by rent-a-cops and not landing a few of my tricks. That’s about it.
Take us through an average day in the life of Dlamini.
Man, I’m a very chilled guy. Everything’s about skating. Normally I wake up around 6. All 19 of my brothers and sisters make way too much noise before they go to school. From there, I usually call up homies and plan the day. If I’m not cruising through the city, I’m at the Revolution park. I’m always listening to music. Gotta have that Talib Kweli banging in my eardrum.
How do you feel about skating in the Pro division at the upcoming Maloof Money Cup? Any concerns or reservations, or are you just going to go out there and blow everyone away?
Too hyped! It’s going to be a good experience skating with the people I have looked up to all my life.
Do you have any plans for the rest of the year, like more filming, photo shoots, touring, etc.?
Leaving for California after Maloof. I’m really amped. When I’m that side I’m going to be skating in contests and pretty much just experiencing life over there.
FALLEN TOUR BLOG DAY 11
Billy, Slash and Tommy went home today and after the airport drop-off we hit up Table Mountain and Civic Centre, ending it all off with a sunset at Mouille Point. Tomorrow we all fly out to Maloof. It’s been the best tour, make sure you catch the next Session and AV for full tour articles!

FALLEN TOUR BLOG DAY 8
Today we literally had to go straight to the Sport Unlimited demo from the airport, after arriving in Cape Town from Durban. We stopped in at Civic and then checked into the Protea Fire and Ice Hotel, pimp spot with an amazing view of Table Mountain. The AV screening was going down at Rafikis, so we went down to that and Billy got some beer pong started. The rest of the night was partying on Long Street and Billy and Tommy got hand-pocked tattoos by Tyler B Murphy until 5am.
