Whether or not you’ve always followed Corey Duffel’s career, his skating was never something you could look away from.
We got together with our friend Joey Sinko to make this short film taking a second look at the slams, stories, and glory left by the Duffman.
Much more than a “best of” but not quite a Hulu documentary, this Jenkem Ode is a deeply personal dive into Corey’s life. Revisit the huge gaps and rails that made Corey’s career and broke many of his bones, and hear the behind the scenes tales of his incredible makes and gut-wrenching slams.
After months of scouring video parts, uncovering old footage, and interviewing Corey in a police interrogation-style room, Joey emerged with “Manimal.” It may sound like the title of either a sick ’80s TV show or downright bestiality, but it’s instead a powerful meditation of skating’s number one punk.
If your teenage hormones resurface at the thought of the Duffman, or you’re unaware of the recklessness he puts himself through, “Manimal” will be a wild ride.

Yes Corey!! I gotta admit I never paid attention to you or your skating cuz I just didn’t dig your style and the skinny jeans when I was younger…I got tons of respect for you after watching this doc and seeing your new homeboy part. You look better on your board now more than ever, still killing it! You’re a real person, down to earth too, glad I watched. I’m a fan.

these haters think they can hurt corey w/ words? did they not see the slams n how it didnt stop him at all from living life? they should learn to live life which does not involve the lamest use time n energy : hating on a comments section. which is worse than being a nazi or or schmuk etc.
