A few weeks ago, we held a premiere for Creature's newest video, "VI" here at SPoT. Like always, we never do things half-assed, so we decided to throw in a Concrete Jam to mix it up. Add in a bunch of free stuff from Creature and Converse and it was one hell of an evening. Check out Tristan Mershon's edit and make sure you pick up a copy of the Creature video - it's insane...

Eventually we did get to skating, or watching skating at least. Wes commenced planting Texas style all over the place. He just graduated from regular Slobs apparently.

Kalen Gelo
Kalen Gelo was on a rampage hitting all the big walls with style. At least until he hit this big wall with his body. And face.

The temporary tats were a serious hit. And they seemed to be working for Paolo, who was ripping every corner and wall he rolled up to.

Usually whenever you see Chuckie, Alejandro is right behind him doing something just as gnarly. Frontside over the door.

Alejandro shut it down with this Iceberg or Frigid Plant or Boneless Revert. Call it what you want, it was insane.

Paolo Vergara
In the end it was Paolo, the guy who hit every wall, took every run (regular & switch!) and used his blood as warpaint, who ended up in First Place and took home the illustrious Creature Fiends Car Club plate & some cold hard CASH. Congratulations you animal!
