It’s been a while since we wrote a full Extended piece, but this new one from Creature released over the Christmas period is the perfect excuse to rectify that! In this one, we’ll be covering the transition sections of the video. Chris Russell’s section and our thoughts are available to free subscribers below, with the rest of the article being available for Paid Subscribers only!
Chris Russell
Following an intro with a few bangers including a Cody Lockwood Noseblunt Nollie Flip in the deep end of a concrete pool, the parts proper begin with who else but Chris Russell. Early in the part he hits up the eponymous Washington Street sporting a great Travis Bickle impression (reminding me of Ollie Tyreman’s Bickle-phase from back in the day in the process!), before fakie shoveit-ing out of one of the main quarters mid-line.
Following a backside blast over the WSVT sub box, he ventures into the wider gnarworld, hitting up Kevin Kowalski’s complex after a great example of maybe one of the most dangerous tricks possible; frontside inverting to disaster in a pool. At Kowalski’s, Russell busts out a few of his patented repertoire, front feebling over the double-hole before a truck bash, alley-oop backside lipslide before a hectic around the corner frontside air revert…
Midway through the part, we get a few glimpses of Russell’s street skating skills, including a new deal transfer on what can only be described as an incredible-looking concrete blob. Alongside these few street clips are perhaps my favourite two clips in the part, both at the same crusty, pool coping’d park. A full speed, straight wall, frontside lipslide to smithgrind and a backside tailslide featuring a tip-toed front foot.
