If you haven’t caught the last couple video pieces we’ve dropped from super-filmer Chris Varcadipane, then you may not know that we’re sponsoring his full length video, “Dusted” coming out this summer. Chris has been stacking footage with Ben Raybourn, Mike Davis, Dustin Brown and a handful of other homies to blow our minds come premiere night.
Gear Check Ep. 10 with Daniel Espinoza
This CCS edition of Gear Check brings us the set up of young pro, Daniel Espinoza.
CCS Welcomes Kevin Kowalski
Riding for the Oregon staple board company, Lifeblood, Kevin will bring even more Oregon pride to our Portland-based brand. Enjoy this full video part that he filmed for CCS in just 3 days. Yeah, that wasn’t a typo. He filmed all of this in 3 days.
David Gravette: A Boy And His Flat Bar
David Gravette got his first flat bar from an old CCS catalog almost 20 years ago and used that thing to learn what it takes to become one of the gnarliest rail skaters of all time. That may sound like a claim, but it’s really not. David can sit on a rail with a certain kind of confidence that only comes from thousands of hours of flat bar sessions. Funny enough, all of those sessions were on that old CCS rail. Fast forward nearly two decades and David is the newest edition to the CCS team, so we thought it was fitting to take that old, rusty flat bar out of retirement and drag it around the city to see what kind of shit we could get in to. Luckily for us there was plenty of shit. We’re stoked to have David as part of the crew at CCS!
Walker Ryan For Imperial Motion
Our friends over at Imperial Motion have been quietly growing a pretty epic skate program for the last few years. With the recent addition of super-shredder and all-around good dude, Walker Ryan, they’re really killing it! We caught up with Walker at Sheldon Park in LA and filmed a few clips of him ripping around in some of IM’s newest gear. Leave it to Walker to shut down the park in less than an hour and look great doing it. Get stoked off this video and then check out our selection of Imperial Motion at CCS!
CCS Welcomes David Gravette
David Gravette showed up in the skateboard world as a wispy little boy who jumped on the biggest rails you’d ever seen. Since then David has grown in to one of the most recognizable pros in our industry, and in between all the rails, kinks and backflips (yeah, backflips…), David has managed to leave his mark on a few contests and has become one of the household names over at Creature Skateboards. Now CCS welcomes him to their Pro Team!!!
Dusted Crew At Windells Skate Camp
Chris Varcadipane checked in with this sick edit of some of the boys from the Dusted video killing it at Windells Skate Camp in Oregon. These dudes are still hard at work on the full length Dusted vid and it’s dropping in June! Judging by the looks of this edit, everyone’s going to have sick parts, and Mike Davis is looking like he’s going to blow minds! Stay tuned for more from the Dusted crew as we get closer to the premiere of the video.

The Comet Upcycle Cruiser: 100% Recycled
