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!
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
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
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
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 🙌🏻
+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 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.
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 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.
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
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 ✌️
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.
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!
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.
FUUUUCK! I remember this part from when I was a kid and it brought back all of the hype I felt back then! Everything from the ridiculous skating, to the pink wheels and colourful trucks pull aesthetic, and then the all black clothes and song choice. I'm now 26 and feeling like a kid again. Love it. This whole video was the reason I got my mum to take me to the skate shop to get some blue Fallen's aha
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...
His bag of tricks is unlike no other! They are all hammers being dropped from left to right effortlessly. He's a Master at his craft. Cole is definitely in my top 3 of all time.
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
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!!!!!!!
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
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. :)
Damn I’m getting old I looked up to him when I was 14 I’m almost 29 and he’s still a legend among them all
39 myself, his same age and damn cant believe hes still at the level he his today even.
Same bro shits still gnarly as hell
Chris Cole imo is the greatest of all time when it comes to well rounded street skater
It doesn't matter what anybody says, or what anybody does, Chris Cole will ALWAYS BE one of the greatest skateboarders
I've never heard anyone try and debate that haha. The first part of the your comment was unnecessary
Ethan Salgado he's up there with the top guys
Joshua Smith he is one of “those guys”.
I dont know a single person who doesnt think hes a legend... 🤔
Who say's he isn't? Lol.
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.
I'm so happy that fallen is back again and Chris Cole is a part of it once again!!
Why do they leave in the first place were they not getting enough sales
Same man.
Wish Jamie was part of it.
@@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.

@@andofb I'll never understand why people bought into the nike machine. Skating should have been gatekept harder from mainstream brands back then.
soon as you hear "diamonds & rust" ... instant chills
i miss this era of skateboarding

2019 and this part is still gnarly
2022 and this part is still FUCKED. All time
@@Royal4Life4 2023
every trick he did could have been an ender
Joe Fuller during the second song yeah
Word..i mean that first trick man.... fuuuuuuuuuuuck chris cole 🙌🏼🙏🏽
Eh, a fs 360 tail or bs noseblunt aren’t really ended quality.
Aldo the Apache this was in 2008
I was thinking the same thing, Holy balls ! And this was 12 years ago ! 😭
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. 🔨 🔨 🔨
Would've been better now if he did it on a handrail
I always found it weird they say 180 nose grind. I feel it's more natural to say 180 switch 5-0 switch big heel out.
@@bon12121 because a switch 5-0 is fundamentally different than a nose grind, whether it has a 180 in front or not
@@zkipa That's my point. Do you call it a switch 5-0 like I do?
@@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

Jamie is a genius, notice how the main focal point are the shoes, almost subconsciously.
He knew wht he was doing
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 🙌🏻
Tre flip is a classic that will always be sick
He literally did three trey flips in a row in this video.
@@smokeyfrog210what are you talking about? He didn’t do one single regular tre flip in this video. One switch tre and one nollie tre.
@@smokeyfrog210 he didn't. You're just dumb.
One of the first video parts I watched when I started skating. This will always be a classic to me!
+Tim Angyal same
+Tim Angyal You sweet sweet child
+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
+Tim Angyal and "Mouse" that was one of my firsts
Matthew Baker that's awesome man, I have so much respect for the older generation of skaters.
Chris Cole is my inspiration I always watch this video over and over again and it never gets old
To this day this part is the only place I have ever seen a switch front 360 kickflip. Probably will never see one that good again
This part would make SOTY if it dropped today. It still holds up today
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.
I think Jamie Griffin might surprise you with a sw front 3 flip
Who is back here after the news released in May 2019, can not wait for a new part. Missed this so much.
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.

Same as when your out working, or doing errands and you will notice a perfect skate spot. It never leaves your brain.
Big rails, ledges and stairs with a tech touch, plus tight jeans and band shirts, good times.
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.
It should be illegal to be this good. Honestly, this video part is TOO good. It's almost as if I cannot enjoy it because its that good.
At the very least it could make it hard to enjoy any other parts
I agree, I watch this knowing I'll never be nearly that good. Still probably my favorite part.
that heelflip sex change 360 thing was so cool lol
It's because it's jock skateboarding
@@peterpacciani666 that's the most beautiful oxymoron I've ever heard....ever. lol
Can't believe this is considered classic already! I feel so old. Awesome part though!
AnthonyRomagnolo I know! He was so popular in my skater group back in middle school
damn this is a classic? I feel old at twenty..
Westgate's Stay Gold part was also a classic.
Scott Garrison now ur 23
I'm 22 lol
because you are
I’m 34, I still look at full full the dream and yeah right as new! I’m lost time flies, skate till I die!!!
I respect Chris Cole as a person and a skater! He’s still one of my favorites!
This part still holds up. I still think it's one of the best parts ever
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
Probably my favorite video parts of all time. Chris Cole at his best simply killin' it. Showing future generations how it's done.
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.

Thanks for the inspiration Chris! You're forever a hero of mine ✌️
2023 thats still mindblowing.
Chris Cole and Andrew Reynolds are two of the most groundbreaking street skaters imo
there really good but thats writing off every other skater in the world, so i dont really think you can pick only two
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.
They are my two favorite skaters
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.
Kirchart, too!
Airwalk down a stair set followed by a backside 360 kickflip down another set. Cole is truly playing THPS in real life
You mean Scarewalk airwalk is the other way
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 you are looking at this awesome video of Chris you are a legend here in 2021
This part shows why Chris Cole will always be one of if not my favourite skater of all time. Every trick is so heavy.
2020 and this part still is mind blowing!
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.
dvs2751 that sequence was a mark of a skateboarding era
aboout to go skate. this gets me pumped
There's no telling how many times I watched ride the sky from beginning to end...one of my go to videos I used to watch before skating
Great part!
sup steve
Not great, it’s a legendary part
Steven Gonzales’s
For some reason the line at 1:54 has always captivated me. The board control he exhibits in those two tricks is so next level.
Yo, Scooter boy!
chris cole is a legend, always has great video parts
This video should have 20 million views.
Everytime I watch this part. I can't really think of what was the banger, there's too many
6:02 that was the most perfect heelflip ever.
Sam Hahn been Williams exists sorry
@@zackarychristian4826 thats Neen not been, but they are wery stylish thats tru
There’s one in Ali Boualas sorry part that is way better than people realize
fr, the spectators reaction is priceless
this part was so epic As a kid and still is
FUUUUCK! I remember this part from when I was a kid and it brought back all of the hype I felt back then!
Everything from the ridiculous skating, to the pink wheels and colourful trucks pull aesthetic, and then the all black clothes and song choice. I'm now 26 and feeling like a kid again. Love it.
This whole video was the reason I got my mum to take me to the skate shop to get some blue Fallen's aha
He's got perfect posture and outrageous steez.
Chris’ parts were always so sick cause he’s so skilled at tech stuff but also went big.
Chris Cole, and Tommy’s parts will always be legendary in ride the sky. I probably watched this video 200 times when I was 14
spot selection, trick selection, music selection all on point
Words can't begin too explain the supreme awesomeness I just witnessed.....
if a young skater put out this part today people would STILL be gobsmacked at the quality, innovation, and smoothness Mr. Cole skates with
that gasp when he does the heel flip is one of the best things ever. true skateboarding.
Truly remarkable. I forgot how amazing this dude is
Any chris cole part stands up to anything done today. Dude is the GOAT in my mind
I have a hard time imagining Nyjah listening to danzig/misfits lol
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.
InFearWeHide24 Danzig was the singer of the misfits, so I'm sure that's what he meant. Most people generally lump the 2 together, along with Samhain.
That's exactly what I meant. I cant imagine him listening to those bands in general.
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...
I remember Stevie Williams
saying he enjoyed G.G Allin.
His bag of tricks is unlike no other! They are all hammers being dropped from left to right effortlessly. He's a Master at his craft. Cole is definitely in my top 3 of all time.
song is Danzig - Soul on Fire
THANK YOU!
I miss this Chris cole. It sucks he left fallen for dc.
And now he joined diamond, lets wait three or four months and ge will look like a gangster with baggy jeans, gold chains and caps hahah
Nothing changed when he went to dc. Hes still the same guy.
Mario Perez Maldonado he was all sorts of fresh before he got on zero so...revert back maybe?
HedgeHogQuest except he skates slower
triplflip900 hes getting old dont forget
classics? fuck i feel old
This could have come out today. So good still
Wow me owning the video makes me feel so old when im only 24 Chris Cole hands down my fav skater he nails everything !
No one will ever convince me this is the greatest street part in the history of skateboarding G.O.A.T
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 .
Rookie numbers...
I grew up watching him live what a pleasure to see him around the local spots and parks in bucks county pa phila and Trenton
Sorry quetions name song number two please man 😊 is cool🎉
Okay.. but FALLEN IS COMING BACK BABY!!!!!!
Absolutely incredible 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Such a great part. I cannot get over that nollie bs flip over the big grass gap. Still one of the best nollie bs flips I've ever seen.
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
Cole, Reynolds, Song.
I said it. 🙃
Koston can not be left out the top 3.
Koston. P Rod. Song. Cole. Chris Joslin. And a handful of others
Like if you’re still watching in 2024
How does he make skateboarding look so easy? He is beyond good.
dude so dayum fun 2watch skate, attacks everything he goes 4, def 1of the legends. goin small not in his bag of tricks
Cole was burning in this part. Every tricks looks like a thunder striking the ground. Today hes just mellow... wish he filmed another part like this.
David Auster bro he’s 37 now wdym
Arguably the best part of all time...
kissmyasymptote truth
He stomps EVERYTHING!!! Love Live King Cole
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!!!!!!!
All these "classics" from my era is making me feel old. 😔
That man is a living legend
I can't describe how killer this part is. That airwalk to blizzard flip line is just such a statement man
Cole is the street GOAT.
I still have Fallen on DVD. It's beat to hell because I used to watch it so much.
Wow. What a gnarly video by Chris cole.
Definitely one of the sickest parts ever. Just insane style.
This part got me pumped to skate now
These songs are amazing
Damn can't believe this vid is that old now.
Bro this part literally is so high level that it holds its own against any part today
Yes and also a high level wife beater
chris cole 12 years ago.. just saying how good he is now is ridiculous
Especially the switch flip bluntslide on a 10+ stair handrail. Just thrown in like any other clip. Crazy~
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
Koston Yea Right.
This classic is now a classic. Nyjah looks 15
the ender was beautiful i loved how flipped that haa clean Chris cole. Clean
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. :)
The fog in the first line made that whole thing look epic
It’s in China, that’s smog not fog lmao
I agree that it’s an epic line though
I havent skated in over ten years but watching this makes me wanna go shred
Thank you Chris, and thank you Nyja.
If u really wanna see a classic Chris cole, u watch his part in hot wax. The whole film was nuts but he was insane back in the day, and still is
Chris cole forever will be the most gnar skater ever hes sick!!!!
One of the best parts of all time 🤘🤘🔥🔥
Chris the best !!!!
