That was the worst piece of music I’ve ever heard in my life! The skating was good but filming and editing sucked. Also the last trick could easily have been edited so that it looks like he’s landing the 450 bs royal even though i may didn’t.
October 27th, 2009 at 1:37 pm
if you wanna watch this one, turn off the music
October 27th, 2009 at 1:40 pm
nah cos it showed him earlier sitting on the big roy, no way he woulda bailed that, i wouldnt have bailed that and im shit.
i reckon he did it, but it coulda been cut together better, sick though, i wouldt even consider that shit. and neither would you probably.
October 27th, 2009 at 1:43 pm
Pretty sure he nailed the last trick
October 27th, 2009 at 1:49 pm
RAW SKATIN!!!
thats what it is! :D
although the music is about as bad as some of the hiphop flipflop bling bling beats i hear…. in edits
October 27th, 2009 at 2:05 pm
ofcourse he landed that 450 bs royale,… he can spin up to the rail, and land it, so why shouldn’t he havn’t done it ???
October 27th, 2009 at 2:09 pm

October 27th, 2009 at 2:31 pm

October 27th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
yeah!you got that right!
XSJADO is the best skate evaaa~~
October 27th, 2009 at 2:38 pm
that was a sik attempt at a 5 back roy but if I had to I would say that he could do it but didnt on this occasion. Big rail though so stil sik
October 27th, 2009 at 2:47 pm
ok, i simply don’t understand why they wouldn’t put the whole trick from beginning to end… i felt dizzy and almost vomited with this editing, and i usually dont give a shit how things are edited. he can clearly skate and do nice shit, but this was horribly portrayed.
October 27th, 2009 at 3:27 pm
Everyone’s got their taste in music but I for one am glad to hear something different than the typical indie stuff or hip hop crap. I give em props for putting a mad track to this edit. Was that Thrice? Anyone know? Peace
October 27th, 2009 at 4:16 pm
shut up carlos! maybe you will never do a 450 bs royale in your entire life
October 27th, 2009 at 5:45 pm
Chris’s camera and tape with the footage of him landing it was stolen just before this edit was made. but as I know chris, he landed it.
goeie werk ou perd

barney, dear friend: why so mean? how are your reading comprehension skills today?
October 27th, 2009 at 7:06 pm
Awesome skating and music, I dug it.
October 27th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
Go chris!! Awesome skating man!
There’s a sequence pic of Chris landing the 450 back royale, and knowing Chris and having skated with him – he’s a monster, so skilled and stylish!
Watch this space!!!
October 27th, 2009 at 9:08 pm

October 27th, 2009 at 10:44 pm
The song is “Reveries of Flight” by Oh, Sleeper.

The South African rolling scene isn’t nearly as big as most other major countries (and a small chunk of the skaters happen to be living abroad too, making the scene that bit smaller), but it’s a sick, tight knit group with some absolutely amazing skaters who really deserve way more attention for the mad skills they bring to the scene – Chris being one among them!!
October 28th, 2009 at 1:19 am
oh where, oh where…..did the camera man go?
who can solve the mystery of the last clip?
October 28th, 2009 at 3:28 am
YAAAAAAWWWW BRREEEEEWWWWW chris is the real deal people
October 28th, 2009 at 3:38 am

October 28th, 2009 at 7:27 am
hahah nah fuck that he didnt land it.. the sequence picture is just as fake both of those the edit and the pic are reallly easy to fake..it doesnt even matter that handrail was short as fuck
October 28th, 2009 at 7:30 am
FAKE AS FUCKKKKKKKKKKK
October 28th, 2009 at 7:31 am

October 28th, 2009 at 7:32 am

October 28th, 2009 at 12:04 pm

watch the vid 4 wat it is, who cares if its chopped and bad music(UR OPINION) , all the people that post of here have no idea wat the SA rolling scene is like, most cities have a lack of everything a rollerblader would want, and people are still ripping regrdless, all i can say is chris u make us SA rollers proud! keep repping!
