The past few weeks have been busy but I now give the largest blog ever. Is bigger better? probably not, but here it is...
First things first. Baby lamb turns coverboy of the new Transworld AM issue. Huwhat? Congrats Gravette, thank god there's no logos on that cover, real talk. He's got a nice interview and apparently the next issue has a feature on Creature. Damn Transworld, you're starting to make us feel warm and fuzzy.
The crew just got back from the Japan. Horn busted his shit and left early with a broken collarbone but besides that the trip went great. Check it-----> The Crue Photo ops. Zed Zorched Beer! Kimono Life. Honorable Cranston Honorable Vampire Japanese 40's Hella Raw Thanks to Hasco, Maru and Kosecki for all the hospitatlity...
Me and The Bone went Minneapolis for Top Shop. The whole trip was naners and I couldn't think of a better dude to travel with than Whaley, put ya decks up! Shit, was in full effect from the get go! Cranberries! Nollie! Fred was feeling it! Did I mention there was a gas leak in our hotel room? 1st Annual Creature Chug and Jump at 3rd Lair! You got 20 seconds, GO! (all good photos by Sam McGuire) Joe Dirt handled business, took 4 big chugs and won best trick with this massive 360... Emoti-Bone... Did I mention that Muller pretty much rules? F*ck, Lowcard showed up. This kid got some stuff. So did this kid. This dude got Best Chugger some said he was cheating storing excess liquid in his beer'd "Goose is the new all over print" Poached yer blog holmes, Munzerider and Gareth. When I got back I watched "Weekend Warriors" and saw Munzy attack the bank jammy in front of the TGIFridays that me and Ron were eyeing up. Did I mention that Fridays is America's rumpus room? Ron feeling the effects of the hotel vortex. Went to Majors and shit got heavy...hey dudes! This is Ryan, he started drinking at 8am, at first I was kinda bummed on Ryan and then magically he became the smartest guy at the bar... Then shit got wierd. The morning brought a cloud of black death...We went and checked out Zombie skateshop (of course) we had to appear straight up retarded to these guys but they were cool and showed us the worst spot ever Bone Attacks! Midwest Pow-Pow Then we drove across Wicounsin to Chicago. harsh! We got some of these little beauties... You guys ever deal with the toll situation in Illinois, what the f*ck, 60 cents are you serious, bam, chicago... Went to AWH, pretty much, met Tony and the dudes... Rob showed around then we hit the back yard for a safety meeting. There was a busted rig in the back with a bible in the front seat and an empty drug bag, awesome! Found this sick poster. Found one of these Boners too... F*ck, that's all I can't type anymore, this has taken me like 2 hours, but I want to give you one last photo, consider it an omen of things to come, smell you later...

So in case, you hadn't heard we got a new website.
The internet praise is rolling in. Willy from the Thrasher comments says "Past the cool video clips, that new site is a navigational nightmare." and hmmmm says "-Interesting- use of Flash, to be constructive...". Thanks everybody, keep 'em coming! PS Gordon still rides for us we just forgot to add his name, sorry gordo.

Me and Ron are headed out to Minneapolis for Top Shop on the 25th. Creature is running a little contest on Saturday night, check the flyer----->

Ron and I will be judging on chugging style as well as how you hit the jumper. Big prizes for real...

Usually, it's pretty easy to procrastinate updating this thing but sometimes there's so much sh*t going on, I have no choice but to let the minions know what's up.
First, the biggest news. We are proud to announce that we have turned Stu Graham pro. Stu's a juggernaut of shred and is well deserving of this new pro status. Check out the video box for Mr. Graham's official announcement video (yup, we got bagpipes in there). Scottish bred, Shuriken approved... We've also released a new limited board with Sacto mega-hessian Skinner. Maybe you've seen Skinner's work with the Blood Wizards. Bottom line, the dude rules and his board is sure to trip you the effe out. Only 300 made, comes with Skinner's monster zine, silkscreened and numbered. Check our April flyer

------> PS. that's a goat hoof. As you can see we got some new team decks in there too, so what the f*ck are you waiting for.
In team news, Navs took it to the face on some 11 stair rail after 2 18 packs and a bottle of Jagermiester, nice one. Neil and Sam have been alley racing with young fiends Raven and Marky Clements. "Haksaws in The Alley" vid coming soon. Speaking of young fiends we've officially started flowing SD's Truman Hooker, keep you're eyes shaved for a Strange Notes part coming real soon, kid is savage. Partanen was in North Cacalaca with Luda, I got no idea what went on there but stab in the dark they drank brews and skated. Taylor Bingaman is all healed up from his leg snap and got himself a mohawk/mullet thing with a duck tail, recovery can be a dark place. Alex Horn is back in the Northwest, sending text messages and leaving his shit everywhere. Gravette's been all over the globe but is currently in SD/LA getting some final stuff for his Transworld part. Hey Gravette, you've come a long way buddy, it makes us proud, you've turned into a full grown baby lamb...
In other news, the new Lowcard is out and the old Lowcard (Concussion) has a new issue out as well. In his standard "everything sucks" writing style Concussion Davoud opens the new issue with an ode to yours truly. I love you too bro, I will miss getting weed headaches from laying out frontside air photos for 9 hours straight. Baby play date/Dads drink whiskey date?
Thanks to Thrasher for our T'Eddy awards...
Kinker King- Baby Lamb
The Great Pumpkin- Shrekers
Coverage Monster- Us
Oh yeah, heads up Japan, the crew is coming....
I think that's it, oh, this just in, Good Times Gus just ordered a shitload of Creature wood, real time. Thanks Gus!
PS. I can't spell

Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me.

Now showing, The Now trailer, right now!

First off, check out that extra special "Gravette in the park" featured video filmed and edited by Garrett Hunt of 411vm's own "G-Spot". If you find yourself in Issaquah, feel free to hit the park and see if you tap one of Baby Lamb's sweet ass lines. Gravette chose the music himself, I'm sure alot of you didn't see Creature as an Andre Nickatina brand, well guess again hoto, we're hella diverse.
Anybody go to ASR? I guess not. I actually saw a tumbleweed roll through the spot. We did have the inspiration for Creature's first ever "Separated at Birth".
No way Nerd could skate 30 pools in a day or get light-death in a tight amoeba but give him some cold ones and the chicken and the dude is killing it.
I have another little treat for you creeps. We built an all over extension on our bunker mini mini ramp. The thing was coming in at a whopping 5 and a half feet but getting up there was a bitch. Enter the Senator, Cranberries, Alex Horn, who came in and basically shut it down. We took the extension off and hung our heads in shame. So I give you "13 trick with Alex Horn" on a busted mini you wouldn't want to ever skate anyway.

In other news Donnie's mom is coming in a week, which we're all hyped about, if you know what I mean, wink wink. Thanks to the Visalia dudes for letting us shred the indoor mini in our time of need.
