That’s right, Fiends! INTRUDERS is back with a vengeance. To kick things off Creature sent Sam Hitz to Vista, CA to bust open Collin Provost’s garage and dust off his board hoard. Your average “wall board” show THIS IS NOT – but rather a “what the f@ck is that?” ”what dimensions are that shape?” “What went down on that deck?” And “who did those graphics?”… monocle-worthy items if you will? Let’s just say there will be some heavy lifting! With Sam Hitz spearheading the show, INTRUDERS promises to have notes of obnoxiousness and left-field questioning that will make board collectors of the world cringe. Yet unable to look away, like a wreck on the highway.

Romel Torres would not refer to himself as a contest skater by any measure, he did not grow up skating events. He has however found himself in the mix at the Cowtown’s PHX AM presented by Converse for the past three years. Raised around Portland, Oregon, Romel spent almost all of his time in the streets, so when it comes to the contest scene he admits to being out of his element a bit. But according to Louie Lopez, “he can hold his weight just street skating.”
Cruise the famed Cowtown event with Romel through practice and qualifiers. Spoiler Alert: He didn’t make it to the finals, but he was just fine with that. Also hear a few words from Louie about Romel’s roots, path to FA and some street footy we should be on the lookout for.
