The first trick, a freaking backside 180 nose grind switch big spin heelflip would be an ender of enders for 99 percent of professional skateboarders, the pros mind you, but it’s the first trick for Chris. 🔨 🔨 🔨
@@bon12121 problem with that is the direction you're traveling relative to your stance lol. A switch 5-0 is different than a nose grind in that while your feet are in the same position, in the nose grind you're going towards the opposite direction
Chris Cole is easily my all-time favorite skater when it comes to style. Everything he does is so smooth and effortless. When he floats through the air he looks like a majestic punk rock swan. Plus, when I was a kid he wasn't exactly young, so that fact that he still has it like that is amazing. Props.
@@JuanCarlos-qz9jt Don't quote me on it but I remember Jamie saying something a few years ago along the lines of they were struggling to get enough sales with all of the big shoebrands jumping on the skating bandwagon such as Nike Addidas and stuff and they had a few unfortunate events that led to it stopping. I think they had a whole factory of Shoes for a whole season somehow get mouldy. Can't remember if it was a flood or something. Anyway stoked its back!
Never does a trick twice... Never goes a trey flip in a line... Who else's consistency is that dialed in with bag of tricks that you never have to dip in twice. Greatest (6 minute) part of all time 🙌🏻
I couldn't afford to pay for the Ride the Sky while I was in my skateboard career. Now, I am retired. I just want to say this Chris Cole's part is real proper. Wow. I met him and his skate teams during few demos, events, signings. I was always a fan of his since I first knew about the man. Cheers. Keep being awesome. Best wishes. --J.T
+Tim Angyal when you just started? thats cool dude. crazy with the newer guys. My first video parts i saw were Baker 2g, Modus Operandi, basically the 1999-2000 videos. You match em up with Ride The Sky and the progression is just insane. Kids nowadays have to get super super good to become pro
I'm 23 this video came out my freshman year of high school I have to say this part is one of the best ever made. Watched it literally every day before skating. Chris Coles a pioneer
Video came out when I was 16.. time flies. Moved on from skating, but love coming back to these from time to time. This era, to me, was the best. Had a lot of tech, but not TOO too technical if that makes sense
I havnt skated in yrs , but it was literally my life. But im still watching skate videos to this day, ( thanks to youtube) i will bet any amount of money, tht you will never stop watching skate videos. Same as when your out working, or doing errands and you will notice a perfect skate spot. It never leaves your brain.
I'd say that Chris Cole's "Ride the Sky" is comparable to Ryenold's "Say Gold" parts. Both Cole and Reynolds were just absolutely going for broke in both of those. Really just blows my damn mind how crazy the tricks in this are... Like how it's even possible. Especially when you think how much of this is nollie/switch.
Jimbo Slice idk what was so ground breaking about Reynolds.. I mean.... everything Reynolds is adored for, Penny already did the schtick, and did it cooler.... Reynolds just kept doing it, and penny disappeared to go smoke weed and skate mini-ramps... Just watch Penny parts.
In many ways this could be the best part of all time. Tech gnar style. The day I opened the mag to see the sequence of the backside nose grind Nollie big heel or whatever, bolts too. Trying to understand the trick even had me questioning if it was photo shopped some how.
I felt old when new blood was a classic, this is making me feel even older. One of the best parts of all time easily. Still have the full length dvd in my drawer.
Dudes an absolute beast! He always stood out to me for being one of the main guys during the 2000s who was able to do big rails, gaps and tech stuff while having good style and trick selection. Another thing is that I don't think Chris was naturally great at skating. If you watch his early parts you'll see that he's really come a long way from so many years of dedication and that's something I respect. To me, this is his greatest part. The whole damn thing is done properly. Thanks for the inspiration Chris! You're forever a hero of mine ✌️
The fuck? The part is danzig/judas priest. The songs are Soul on fire followed by the live version of diamonds and rust. There are no misfits here, get your ears and rock history checked.
I have a hard time believing that Nyjah or anyone else could back noseblunt hollywood high, but as they say, seeing or in your case, hearing him say that he enjoys the music is believing I suppose...
Damn...this is literally one of the best parts of all time. When this came out i was in high school and it was the best part ever at the time. Chris cole is a legit living legend of STREET SKATING
How cool is that I just saw a SKATE competition between Cole and Huston, then the next random video I click on for Chris Cole has an intro by Nyjah Huston. Professionalism within Family, good job boiiiis. R-E-S-P-E-C-T, sweet!
If there's a mount Rushmore of skateboarding then congrats you just witnessed the greatest video part by one of the faces that would be on it..mullen,cole are locked in and hawk,way,houston,alva,hosoi,cab,rowley,p-rod,koston,Thomas, and a few more I can't think of cause I'm too excited and jacked up from this part to think of are all in contention for the other spots. Ok,I'm gonna shut up and go skate,I'm 33,sober and stoked on skating and life again..come on yall let's pop some tails and snap some kickflips.i wanna feel that feeling of being locked in on a smooth 5-0 again and not locked up by the 5-0...love life. :)
My fav tricks that were done in his part was 1. the laser flip 2. the air walk to bs 360 flip 3. the bs 360 on the love gap 4. and the nollie 360 heel. this video part was fucking golden!!!!!!!
I was reading an interview of his from 2009 and he said this was his favorite part, and that's like one of the golden eras of skateboarding, so I knew this had to be epic still today.
When this video dropped on DVD my boy bought it and after school he invited me and all our other friends over and we watched the entire thing like 3 times .
Man i love Chris Cole, just the way he carries him self and his passion for skating makes his skating that much better, he doesn’t see it as a job like most people do, he truly loves it, it’s so hard to pick a favorite of that era, but top 3 were P-Rod, Chris Cole, and Greg lutzka
All his parts still hold up. Especially this one. This is still one of tge best parts ever. P rod with me myself and I, torey pudwills big bang and this part will forever be in my top 5
