Saints Alive (well almost alive)

Here's the latest bunch of Saints to receive papal (dis)approval. Count on Creature to come up with a new twist on some old icons.

Personally I think the Creature Saints skateboards are a definite improvement on the usual boring stained glass pics you get in in churches.

In Memoriam

The Skateboarding world lost two stars today, the well known US park skater Michael and renowned street skating heroine to a generation Farah Fawcett.

OK so perhaps they weren't serious skaters but that episode of Charlie's Angels with Farah getting chased certainly inspired a lot of kids to try skateboards.

Then come and buy a set of your own from us (Boards, US currency and skill at tricks not included.) and you're all set to make a living out of skateboarding, provided of course your mates ain't better at tricks than you :)
