News — The Cream

Madars Apse returned to his homeland of Latvia recently to share with his friends Nick Garcia and Pat Duffy the amazing spots, landscape and hospitality of his native country.  By the looks of things they had a lot of fun and did much more then skate... Para gliding, camping, eating, drinking and sight seeing rounded out a trip across a country not regularily known for it's skateboarding.

We had the great pleasure of joining our homies from Surplus Skate on a tour to Shenzhen, China two months ago.  To say the spots were amazing is understatement - they were incredible!  Untouched marble plazas for days, smooth ground, no skate stopped spots, friendly security guards, delicious food and the warmest hospitality ever made for an unforgettable trip!  Featuring Moose, Sierra Fellers, JP Oliveira, Jesus Munoz, Will Kromer, Dean Parsons, Ray Macken and Steve McInnes.  Filmed by Tyrone Monroe and Noah Schuler

Long time friend of The Cream Jake Darwen recently won best in show for the Olympus Pro Photographer Show Down and it was no surprise! Jake's eye for skateboarding is unlike no other and we just had to share his amazing ability to capture the essence, form and natural gnarliness of skateboarding. Feast your eyes and enjoy 8.5 minutes of some of the best skate photography you'll see today!

"Dennis Durrant is Eric Koston's favorite skater".   We can't wait to see Dennis' part, Benny Fairfax and the stellar international cast in "Away Days".  Check out this clip and peep behind the scenes in the making of this highly anticipated video.
