Creature catalogs Navs’ epic quarter-century run, from being a Minnesotan misfit to becoming the Vertical Vampire. Vert can’t die when you’re undead.

Last year was the worst, which means we’ve got an extra-stacked pack of T-Eddys for the skate world’s gaffes and god-awful moments. Plenty of praise in there, too! Don’t get pissed if you made the list.

Even with a smaller crew, Navs, Bucky, Clay, Russell and more keep the Ramona spirit high with deadly extensions and spine-busting channel moves. The Rumble must go on.

Koston, Gerwer, Mason, Cedric, Roman and many more tear up Copenhagen, keeping the party rolling from spot to spot. Can’t beat the homie vibes. 

Navs took the Rumble out of Ramona, bringing the Tumble down to Tucson and Willis Kimbel, Cory Juneau, Chris Russell and the rest of the crew did some serious damage to the pit. Watch the dudes sky and the coping fly at what hopefully becomes a new Southwest tradition.

Some bonafide icons and a bunch of vert-hungry rippers found the desert to be a fitting place to bring the heat. Navs, Salba, Suski, Puleo, Russell and a bunch more tore the coping off the bowl or cheered as the others did. Once again, the Muscle crushed it.

Does the new board tech hold up against Chris Russell’s five-foot air to disaster? Get the answer and a few more heavy concrete maneuvers in this clip from Creature.

Ride along with Chris Russell as he goes out for his perfect day of cliff jumping, riding big bowls on loose trucks and grilling at the park. The Muscle knows a good time when he sees it.

Vans pulls out all the stops and then some to ring in Rowan’s new signature shoe—sky diving, skate jam and even a bowling-alley blowout with live performance from '70s Zamrock pioneers WITCH. We intend to cause havoc!
