The only thing you need to know about Crème boards are that they know how to craft wood for your pleasure! This is my second helping of Crème and it’s a sweet sensation.
Rodney Clarke has been in the game for a long time and he still represents wherever you see him, be it skating or chilling, he’s a humble dude with superb feet skills.
This shape, much like my previous model, is semi flat, but not too flat. It’s got a little bit on concave and will please even “Irish Steve”. The nose and tail have a gradual lift, nothing to be scared of, it’s easy to adapt to and will have you flipping 8 inches in no time. I find this ride satisfactory on all terrain, trannies, street, park, living room and even grass; it’s not failed me before and has lived up to my highest expectations.
It’s over analyzation (yadda yadda yadda), but fuckit, this is arguably the best board I’ve ever ridden! It’s a solid ride that lasts and lasts and lasts. You’ll probably go through two pairs of “Bam” Adio’s before you snap this one…in fact, I reckon the tail could last you the entire summer holiday (nollies for life)!
Investing in Crème won’t disappoint you, their boards are superb and will soon have you roped in to buying another one and another one…Shit’s Legit! It’s run by skaters, for skaters, so it only makes logical sense that their product is of the highest order.
9/10 – Nothing’s perfect

May 20th saw the first ‘Saaf of the River Skate jam’ in Deptford South East London. How did this all come about? I hear the voices ask!
Chris Jackson from Greenpeace smashed it all day with long, sick runs of some of the hardest lips tricks I’ve witnessed in a while. Glory boy of the day though was Jake Harris representing Repent Skateboards who glided through the nicest alley-oop BS Ollies, long BS Smiths and took home a firsta first try Switch Tre in exchange for some spanking new E’s shoes! Nice one son! Jobs a-good-un.
Basically, you’re only mugging yourself off if you don’t show for the next one, I can confidently say, if you ask anyone who was there and they will tell you they had a stonkingly good time. Picture it, good ramp, good music, shocking skating, beers flowing. Events run by skaters, for skaters are definitely the way forward!
The man who single-handedly supported Shortys has upped and left! That’s right- Everyone’s favourite nemesis/fashion guru/OG gnarler, Chad Muska has quit Shortys.
Peter Hewitt. What a guy, from the first moment he appeared on my radar in 411 33, talking about feeding his addiction to skateboarding by skateboarding hard and fast, I’ve been hooked. He is possibly the most dangerous, on edge skateboarder that ever lived. No one else could walk away from failed mayday at some of those Oregon parks… So anyway moving on from the arse kissing, I was really excited to get a chance to try out the new Vox Hewitts.
Fos is having trouble staying awake in the city that never sleeps, so in celebration he has given himself a new pro model based on the modern-day Friday the 13th, The Ring. Apparently the shape is perfect. Well, if Fos says so, I guess so…
Until we get confirmation, Crossfire doesn’t stand by any of these claims, but here’s a little round up of what forum geeks are thinking right now:
May 2006 came and the rain was still falling in London. These guys got off the plane and had to make the most of it, but they had a good time as you will see in this video feature put together by Alan Christensen.
Did I miss the press release that said 2006 would be the year of Bowl riding..? I don’t know, but one thing is for sure and that is the spherical transition carnage has been relentless since January 1st!
