Creation Northeast Tour Part 1 of 2 - 06/18/2007
Creation Skateboards has been touring the northeast for the past week, with Brian Delatorre, Dave Caddo,
Wes Bell, and High Grade homies Neen Williams, Dave Abair(aka Judge Reinhold), TM Nick Matlin, and
photographer Allen Ying. Summer is the prime time to do filming and demos in the northeast, when the
weather’s just perfect. We started off in Boston , and are heading to Montreal , stopping in Hartford , CT ,
Albany , NY , and the Judge’s hometown Burlington VT. This is what’s up with the American half of the tour.
