    Face Time: Al Partanen

    By Josh Henderson

    Published Wednesday February 20, 2013



    Creature Skateboard's Al Partanen has been putting in a ton of work over the last year gearing up for the new Creature "CSFU" video -- skating tons of insane terrain, risking repercussions from the law and barging spots in the middle of freeway's. Pouring concrete to build his own DIY spots while putting together an original video part is nothing new to Partanen and par-for-the-course. Partanen sat down with XGames.com and talked about the ups and downs of filming a video part, the difference between the new "CSFU" video compared to previous parts, and a bit about searching and finding some unique skate spots.
