Like what, Nyjah doing some kind of nollie flip to fs lipslide? I mean that’s all you ever see him do and everyone talks about how groundbreaking his runs are.
Thank hod he had those bulky early 00s Circas on when he punted that board because he would have broken every bone in his foot doing that in any pair of today’s shoes
Shit i still have the Kenny Anderson's in good enough condition to skate but they don't make them any more they would work still for this type of beating
Cant forget about that fallen video part that may even have more difficult tricks than this. The main difference is this was the end of the VX era and Ride the Sky was the very beginning of HD
I'll never forget the first time I saw the backside 360 kickflip down that four block. Before I saw this part I didn't think that trick could look clean or could be done down anything big. I remember rewinding 10+ times in disbelief, like my brain didn't want to accept what I was seeing was real.
It’s a shame to look back at how he influenced a whole generation to think it’s cool to punch and kick your board and turns out he was doing that to his wife too
Part of it is the music selection. People had great taste in music and much more variety of tastes back then nowadays everybody listens to that mumble rap stuff. Having the right music can make for break a video part.
It was just a different era where people were hungrier for stylish, original tricks. Skating is more skilled than ever but skateboarding is so mainstream now, it's literally in the Olympics now, skating is too laid back now, there's definitely a component that has been lost. People skate so hard now, it just looks so much better when you barely look like your like you're putting in effort. Plus everyone has the same exact style now, everyone skates like Nyjah, I love his skating but Nyjah is a schill who has to wear a Monster energy hat 100% of the time. Miss that kid with dreadlocks and actual pants, not golf socks and short shorts lol. Gotta respect the OG Tony Hawk but he paved the way for selling out to shitty corporations, bagel bites? He literally played a character that was just product placement, he played the Pizza Hut delivery guy in the 80s skate movie 'Gleaming the Cube' starring Christian Slater, pretty dope movie. Shows Rodney Mullen doing crazy rooftop freestyle.
@@tylergroves9049 that, and skateboarding was still so underground that they didnt have the rights to use the music most times. like, the old zero videos that used stuff from like metalica and black sabbath, at the tine, using that music should have cost them a half million dollars. but they just used it anyways because why not? they are still selling VHS
This is the grade A tier of selecting the perfect song to correspond with the skate part. Chris Cole hits so hard and the song marries his skating/movements so well, it elevates the footage in my opinion to another level. Genius song selection.
I fucking love this. Classic Chris Cole. I remember seeing this when I was 19 and skating hard. This inspired me. Just like it is now. Always picks great music too.
Cole kicks that board so damn hard in that intro clip. I remember me and my friends trying to see how far we could kick our boards after we saw this video and it's insane how far he kicks that thing. The furthest any of us got was like 6-8 ft, and Cole kicks it like 15 ft + and it's still in the air when the clip ends. Dude could kick a hole through a wall.
Everytime I watch this I get chills from just how Amazingly Good and what A BEAST Chris Cole is on a board an how good this part was an still is to this day 16 Years almost 17 years later! It's so good to see Chris back on Zero it's his Home if you ask me! He belongs with Jamie an the guys! 💪💪💪
2024 and this part is still one of the gnarliest, all these years watching it and never realize how crazy was that kick in the board on the beginning of the part, if I do that my shin would be in pain for a week
His style is so structured and textbook. He’s thorough with each trick with pretty much complete control of the board. Not sloppy at all. Definitely in my top 5 all time. I mean that ender changed my life…
Fact: the original writer/singer of this song Gary Glitter was arrested for molesting children. Supposedly this song was written inspired of him when he was with the children dreaming of getting touched.
I wish I could go back in time and watch this complete video for the first time again. My brother remains a huge fan of Chris and when I saw this part, I became a fan. dude was sick.
For all those thinks chris got redrrssed and changed by Thomas ,lok at Chris early 2000s late 90s interview ,in the background you see a lot of Ozzy Poster etc Amd Punk music in the background ,he was only wearing those very goofy clothes because he has no clue what he wears 😅
Cole was ‘a barbarian’ when he first came out. That’s what Jake Phelps used to call him. I still have the photo sequence of that helicopter flip down those stairs, that was a big deal back then.
1.75x speed.. Lol And if you listen at 0.25x speed when he lands the tre down wallenburg it sounds like there's music playing softly in the background hahah.
I like the goofy footed tricks back when this came out and I got in trouble in high school for watchi g this on my iPod I thought it was swith ...I was incorrect hes goofy and regular symmetry
Chris Cole is the man! Some great Sydney spots especially the Railway Square stairs at 0:53 which look even steeper in person. This is a classic and a trip down memory lane!
