Stoked to see skate culture embrace legit healthy, disciplines outside of the skate bubble. It'll only produce more talent in the long term.
pleasure to see chris progress over the last 10 years ,absoulete legend ,love him forever, great to see him buff and doing ju jitsu, keep it up mate
Good for him, glad he's ok. That vert ramp flow is just smooth and powerful.
transition is better to watch than street rn
always has been brother I have no clue when people became fantasized with little flippy tricks and ledges it's all rad tho but one sided sometimes
Congratulations on 10 months bro I’m on my 7th, you are killing it!!!
Feels like pool and vert skating are in a better spot now than ever in the last 25 years. Fuck yea Chris!!
Fuck yes, agreed
Dude goes hard
Might be my favorite cold call so far, really love this series!
one of my favorite vert skaters right now, I'm still reeling over that Gangreen part. and 10 months sober is no joke, respect!
What a ripper! Dude is a warrior for sure!
Fuck yeah.
10 months sober is fucking awesome!
5:47 fastest tail mash ive ever seen, glad to see he's still insane at skating after the injury
i was tripping on that too. cant even really see it but the noise gives it away
Loved grappling with russell and showing him some technique down in oregon when he visits, such a solid dude
It’s nice to see bails in bowls sessions, I feel like you don’t see that much in videos.
Love Chris! I’m getting back into skating after two years of being off my board due to multiple surgeries and he’s right about embracing what you suck at 🙏🏻
The skate community is, now, embracing a healthy lifestyle compared to what it used to be and I love it 🙏🏻🖤
Chris is such a beast! Very happy he's alright and back to ripping bc he's sooo good and very entertaining to watch shred!!!
Bionic, sick style! Really appreciate that such a gnarly ripper is doing it sober.
so pure, so raw this is why we love Chris
he's been very outspoken about his inner struggles that came with the injury. would've loved some more of that side of him instead of the positivity stuff that felt a little hollow after what we had seen on instagram. Also was curious to find out how exactly it happened with the eye. All in all kind of annoyingly vague and a bit skate heavy for what I would've wanted from this, because Chris seems like a person who you actually do wanna know more about instead of just see him skate. that being skate, him skating is also a very nice treat and totally understandable if he's keen to get a more skate-heavy and forward-looking image out there. hope we end up getting that part that the eye took from us. those few bangers on instagram where mind melting.
The best part about sobriety is that your life will just keep getting better to the point where you’ll wish you quit sooner. Congrats!
didnt know he has a hurt eye thats really gnarly he almost lost it and is still truckin what a brute!
yeah wtf, never even heard about that.
One of my favorites to watch! Damn didn’t know about his eye, anyone know the full story?
He got hit in the eye with a firework at Florideah Swampfest in Late February . Any strenuous activity can cause his eye to pressure up and be inflamed..ultimate consequence is losing it.
the dude who was shooting fireworks at people shoulda got fucked up, literally changed his life forever doing dum shit
Totally dig it. Great attitude to have. Staying healthy body and mind is so important. I agree man. For long term abilities, you must stay fit and have a proper diet too.
So fucking sick he trains! Awesome to see other skaters doing bjj. And 10 months is huge!
That line at the concrete park was long and luxurious! Beautiful.
Disco lip is the sickest trick. Killing it chris !!
Always raw and powerful!!! My brother lost his eye to a firework. Shit is no joke. Keep beasting Chris.
🔥🤘🏻 congrats on 10 months
One of my favourite skaters. Real deal
King of the hang up is back !
that Disco Lip at 6:30 was something else
The dude is a beast and looking stronger than ever 💪
Love this guys mentality. Get it bro
That vert sesh was sick 🔥
Epic filmng, Gregson!!
Yeah dude, so rad skating and rolling x
What was the firework accident being talked about? I assume he took one to the eye or something?
I hate whenever fireworks come out. Because very quickly it devolves into shooting or throwing them AT people.
those f/s shuffles r so sick
Agreed, it's not easy to make those looks that stylish. And that nose bash is a bloody dream trick, literally.
Chris is a beast!
That filming was next level props to that guy in the bowl
fully confident that even if he lost BOTH eyes he’d still have a full on vert run in him
The way he flows transition is crazy , effortlessly but also aggressive
Sucks about his eye but he seems like a super cool guy hope he keeps doing good in his life and hope he keeps fit and healthy
Chris comes across is such a nice person!
Wait what. I need more. I mean im fucking stoked to see this. Happy to see chris russell 🙌 damn. Alright. Just be glad he s ok. Wow. He s throwing down again. Inwidh this didnt end so abrubtly
Love this dude. Love Creature. Bit sad John is leaving.
That jolly mambo was proper AF.. Definitely was wondering about the eye .. it was looking sketchy at first , glad its semi good now 🤘🙌🔥🔥❤️❤️
jolly mambo???😮🤨 please elaborate 😆
@@pukeyloww5279if you know , you know...
Absolute beast 💪
Stoked to see BJJ in a skate part!
sick skating. that half pipe filming was perfect.
Love seeing sober skaters. I’ve got 12 years and skating and MMA helped me get sober.
Skating & Jiu-Jitsu 😎
Hell yeah sick🔥🔥🔥
I don't think ppl know how badass an air to disaster is cuz wen u get hung up
He’s really good
I see dude kill SD parks around all the time. That's wild he's into jiujtsu cause that's a lethal combo with his size. I imagine that leg game gotta be crazy from skating all these yrs too.
You can tell his jiu jitsu helps so much w his falling
So sick. Fuck yeah Chris
🔥🔥🔥
Martial Arts and Skateboarding go HAND IN HAND
The freaking muscle!
Disco lip goes buck wild tbh
Damna sick Mike Crum inspired nollie alley oop!!!!
❤
Mind fucked at 6:47 Chris Russell is a monster, who does that intentionally!?!
watched that part several times, nobody does that AFAIK
he lands like half his tricks in a coping bash it's fkn insane 🤯
Das kaña Chris! ❤
The muscle!
the train can’t stop
❤❤❤❤
What exactly happened to his eye?
💙
Chris I one rad dude he ripps
sick
once you get that adrenaline addiction you have to get it somewhere. i was an iron workere formost of my life and im 49.hes right the train cant stop and we aint never going to.its in your blood
Ramp reminds me of mountain manor
Gnarly 👊🏻👊🏻
Powerhouse Russell
sickest dude
Speaking biasly skateboarders are the coolest!
👍👍
Respect the muscle
"oh God"
the muscle
So there's a stereotype that partying, drinking your ass out, getting baked is the only true lifestyle of a skater or a musician or whatever, but somehow when a person gets sober, I see no comments like "bro what the fck, you've become a pussy, real dudes don't do that shit". I would call this ✨ p r o g r e s s ✨ and an important shift in the people's mentality, because nothing's more badass than making your own life choices and overcoming your old identity to become something bigger. Big respect for everyone who's changing for good, fam. ❤
Damn he can skate!
So he almost lost his eye @Swampfest?! Damn😳
i guess that was a "disco" ? that was sick
🔥BEAST 🔥
Coming back swinging with a Sharingan
No pads, full-on ragin'. Glad shit's going well for ya, buddy!
...and running out of bailed vert tricks is just fucked!
What happened to his eye
At swampfest 2023 he was hit in the face with a firework.
Did it blind him in one eye?@@GrammerOfficer
Blud my name is chris russell to
dude is so sick
Yes bro jujitsu’s sick. come surf in Kauai now
real crusher
The trick selection on the vert ramp 🤌🏻
It looks so sick when he does an air then bashes his truck on the coping on the way back in
I used to have incredible grip from being an electrician I used to think nobody could get away once I grabbed their wrist until I thought about grabbing my 6,4” 280lbs uncles wrist that’s as big as my ankle, he’s been lifting fur 50 years he sat down on my back porch with his arms straight out in front of him me and my dad both grabbed a wrist while standing yanking as hard as we could we couldn’t separate his arms more than about 8” he would stop us dead, you don’t realize what a weakling you actually are until you meet someone like that
Please be safe and wear the goggles
Best FS Air in the game! His boneless are sick too! 👊🔥🤘
Dude's got hangups. No way I have a blown eye too.
I truly and sincerely don't understand nose bashes on vert
