Fresh Blood: Matthew ‘Nev’ Nevitt
Nev first appeared on the Manchester skate scene 8 years ago when he bought his first proper skateboard off us and set about being a super keen 12 year old Bones Bolton grommet. He ended up doing his work experience with us a few years later where in between learning to brew up and getting buried in rubbish he managed to sneak out with Joe and film a few tricks to ball bag what would appear in Workers and Lurkers. Joe was so impressed with young Nev that he decided to get a section of him for his next vid, Kipp It Off.
Joe went on to describe this time filming Nev as the worst 3 months of his life. It’s true that Nev can get a bit annoying. He goes from bouts of misery to getting all hyper, over excited and trying to wrestle. He seems to phone up for a chat just when you’re in the middle of doing something and he always takes over the shop computer to show us some crap comedy on Youtube. Having said that though we all love Nev.
While most skaters around here of his generation are all concerned about being in team drink this or team drugs that, Nev stands alone as a true individual. He is one those genuinely good, caring people that would do anything to help anyone. He’s really into his music, art and design and he is a complete skateboard nerd. His skating is solid, smooth and stylish and we are very proud that he’s on NOTE.

Upcoming Londoners edit

As with most Creature boards, the Blood Shed isn’t for the faint hearted! It weighs in at a hefty 8.375 with an extra long wheel base of 31.9 making ideal for smashing a hole in your local bowl. With riders such as our very own man mountain Stu Graham putting Creature products to the test on some of the world most frightening terrain, the good people over at the NHS HQ have added extra reinforcements with their highly acclaimed Power Ply system.
Donning their trademark luminous lime green, the Creature design team has unleashed a retro horror movie poster theme for us this time around. The theme for the graphic comes direct from the new Creature DVD Hesh Law, set for release in the early part of December 2009, with Blood Shed being the B-side to this main feature.
So, how does it skate and who is it aimed at? Well the Creature family aren’t known for their skills on plastic picnic tables nor for their Nollie Tres Nose Manny Nollie Inward Heels out, but that’s not to say that other boards within their range do not cater for such activities. The size of this board pushes it more towards the Pool and Tranny skater or anyone with a need for something more solid under their feet and the ample concave and kicks are in place to help keep you afloat. All in all, another solid release from the guys at Creature, keep your eyes out for Hesh Law in your local SOS this Xmas.
