Category: Cre-8 or Die!

Skateboarding is incredibly creative and that can be very helpful in your life no matter where life takes you. In 2011 I launched a short-lived series called “Cre-8 or Die” on the ABF Skate Shop Facebook page with the goal of showcasing old ABF customer businesses and proving that skateboarding is incredibly creative, innovative, and entrepreneurial. I’m going to revive and expand on that series here on my website now in 2016. If you’re a skateboarder doing something creative (started your own business, musician, craftsman, artist, etc.), and you think skateboarding helped you achieve that innovative, creative, entrepreneurial spirit, please contact me and I will write about you here in the New Cre-8 or Die Series!
