I had the opportunity of going to Santa Cruz this weekend for the Vans JTDTI.  Tradition continued, by handing out custom Vans cruiser decks to all the competitors, photographers, and videographers.  This time, Russ forgot hardware, bearings, grip, trucks, wheels, and tools (basically, every single thing but the deck).  He told me he was heading to NHS to pick up some shit from his friend Jeff Kendall.  So I fucking went; Look.

Creature Decks, hot off the press.

Russ Pope designed this board in ’93; This is the board that the ‘New’ Creature
based their entire revival off of.  I saw the office that Russ single-handedly created
Creature in.. He butcher papered the walls and wouldn’t let anyone but Novak see
what he was up to..

Make a shirt.

OG Grosso shit.

If you’re over 35, I’m sure your first board is on this wall (I only shot 1/8th of it..)

More OG Grosso shit.. the original toybox graphic.

NHS in all its glory.
