The trey over Wallenberg is my all time favorite trick. It was revolutionary and put the standard much higher for everyone after he did it. Made me buy everything he put out at the time. I miss my Chris Cole thunder trucks. I know the uncut footy was long but 60+ tries? Fucking mad man

[@hot_pixel_imagery]

He is a mad man for sure. I mean come on did you see his forearms, and he was still going hard at it. SOTY twice! Such a legend!

[@noeepj7081]

Really enjoyed this one Chris cole is one of my top favorites

[@giantsfan7733]

Legend forever, since the first time I saw his Dying to Live part. My homie from Maine even got footy of him around that time trying treflip lips on some rail in Portland in winter. Great tribute to Jamie Thomas' Misled Youth part at 6:07, referencing the time Jamie said he's gotta do one more perfect 5-0 down that white rail he ate so much shit on.

[@LethalLui]

I realized the skateboarders that get injured the most are the ones who end up making it.

[@contactkeithstack]

It's probably a bell curve.

[@moegerms]

It's a matter of committing. Same reason why in school you saw dudes be unable to kickflip after years of skating. They never committed. They were too pusy to fall attempting on a kickflip so naturally you never progress.

Gap skating is so gnarly no matter how small the gap. That orbital story brings that point home. I shattered my left foot on the gap at shaw skatepark in DC. You should always consider how bad you want it before you try a gap

[@nobodysreview6137]

Chris is the greatest street skater of all time because he is as tech as n e tech guy and goes as big as n e body known 4 going big. Actually more tech and more big and gnarly. Lots of guys in the middle like Koston but u dont see Koston doing flip trick down the Love Gap. I always liked ledge skaters the most like Kalis, Stevie Williams just cause it looks more fun but u gotta give Chris his props.

it's hard to watch someone you admire slam so hard. chris you are a true bad ass and skateboarding icon

[@waterdlyed]

I remember getting my first concussion. I was trying to just do a ollie off some stairs and then I hit my head in the ground pretty hard. I started feeling dizzy, hearing a mixture of every single song i've ever heard in my life I could say, and everything was blurry. This happened for about 3 seconds and then I got rushed to the hospital, and I still don't know if it was fully a concussion, because I didnt feel any the symptoms of a concussion later, but that's what the doctors said it was. And for anyone who's wondering, the song did sound good, just a massive pain in the back of ny head, a headace, ringing in my ears, and kinda loosing my hearing a little.

[@SWWonders]

Cole really is one of the all time 🐐...just an awesome style, so smooth & just such a really fucking cool dude with a great personality

03:38. The gnarliest thing that happened to me as well. Trying to learn heelflips. Flick foot didn't catch at all, and the board went straight into my gooch. Ended up tearing my urethra, immediately started pissing blood uncontrollably. Couldn't tighten up my stomach, or bend over, or else I'd apply pressure to my bladder and I'd piss involuntarily. Had to wear a manpon for 2 months.

[@finn9003]

Hey doctors and wise people! When he says he has the permanent swell on his forearm, how does that work and does that happen often and easily.

[@skylergore3650]

Im no doctor but i fell so much on my hip and left elbow that anytime i fall on them even if i heal up for monthes prior it is just permanantly fucked so yeah

[@1997jankuschef]

I dont think it's permanent swelling, it's that he's got permanent deep tissue scarring that makes two different parts of his elbow swell whenever he bruises that part of his arm. I could be wrong. How easy is it? You'd have to land on it a lot... Like too many times for most people to keep trying. Sounds painful as hell

[@Rustyfingaz]

Scar tissue my guy that's from years of landing on the same spot repeatedly

[@goranberic5020]

it's a bone bruise...when a part of bone gets damaged when it heals it tends to ossificate(get bigger)...then it starts to be an easy target when falling again, and gets biggers as the process repeats itself

[@tdogee]

I've had mine for about 14 years. When it finally looks normal, if I even roll gently on it, it flares up like Lindsay Lohan's nose.
