Over the weekend Chris Farmer contacted us and let us know that he was going to be involved in a new project and would be leaving Create Originals.

Although, we are sad to see him go we are happy to have had the time we did with Chris on our team. Not only is he a talented blader but a great dude as well. We wish him all the best of luck with this and all other future projects.

He gave us the following quote of his experiences with Create and its owners to share with you.

“Create Originals supports and treats their riders exactly how they should be treated… with respect.

Billy, Brian, & Hakeem welcomed me with open arms at the beginning of 2010 and I feel lucky enough to have been chosen to be a part of an already powerful, well-rounded roster. Rescuing Alex and I out of the winter to film at Rye Airfield sure proved to me that these guys take pride in what they do and make sure that everything comes through legitimately and proper.

I will always consider C.O. to be one of the best sponsors I’ve ever had. Every monthly package contained a letter, signed by Brian, which was either a personal message of encouragement or a general statement of what was happening with the company at the moment. Communication was always on point, and the guys at Create made sure that you’d be taken care of and in the loop about everything.

Anytime I would need a new set of frames, a couple days later I’d receive at least 3 sets. Every check and royalty was sent on time and never late, plus they’d even throw in a couple scratch-off tickets for they possibility of a bonus.

I have the utmost respect for Billy, Brian, & Hakeem. I can’t thank them enough for everything they’ve done for me and wish them the best moving forward.” -Chris Farmer
