🛹 Crème Skateboards: A European Skate Legacy

Crème Skateboards is one of those rare gems in the skateboarding world—a brand that emerged with a clear vision and carved out a distinct identity rooted in European skate culture. While it may not have the global dominance of some American giants, Crème has always stood out for its authenticity, style, and commitment to supporting local scenes.

🌍 Origins: Where It All Began

Crème Skateboards was founded in France in the early 2000s, during a time when European skateboarding was gaining momentum but still lacked strong regional representation in the industry. The brand was created by a group of passionate skaters and creatives who wanted to build something that reflected the European aesthetic and attitude—less about corporate polish, more about raw street energy and artistic flair.

🎨 What Made Crème Unique

Crème quickly became known for:

• Stylish deck graphics that blended street art, illustration, and European design sensibilities.

• Creative video projects, including the cult-favorite Trailer Trash promo from 2007, which showcased their team’s talent and humor.

• Support for European skateboarding, often spotlighting cities and skaters that were underrepresented in mainstream skate media.

Their videos weren’t just skate edits—they were cultural snapshots, often filmed in gritty urban settings across Europe, with a DIY vibe that resonated with skaters who valued authenticity over hype.

🛹 Sponsored Riders and Team Legacy

Crème built a solid team of European talent, many of whom went on to become respected figures in the skate world. Some of the notable riders included:

• Rodney Clarke

• Ross McGouran

• Tomas Vintr

• Nobby Roth

• Bertrand Soubrier

• Maxim Habanec

• Sewa Kroetkov

• Ondrej Leskovjansky

• Julien Merour

These skaters helped define Crème’s identity—technical, stylish, and deeply rooted in the European street scene. The brand also collaborated with other creatives and filmmakers to produce content that felt more like art films than traditional skate videos.

📽️ What They’re Up to Now

While Crème isn’t as active in the mainstream skateboarding spotlight today, they still maintain a presence online, particularly through their YouTube channel, which serves as an archive of their classic footage and team edits. Their mantra remains: Support European Skateboarding.

Recent uploads and throwback clips continue to celebrate their legacy, and there’s still a loyal fanbase that appreciates what Crème brought to the table. Whether they’re quietly supporting local scenes or inspiring new generations through their archived content, Crème’s influence endures.
