Skater's Favorite Skater: Chris Cole

Chris Cole needs no introduction, but he'll happily admit that he still fans out a bit when he sees his favorite skater, which is awesome. It's nice to remind ourselves that even the best skaters in the world are just normal people with heroes of their own. Take your guesses then hit play.

Hint: they were once teammates...

*I've never ever thought about it but when he said that Marc Johnsons skating influenced him it makes total fucking sense haha!*

[Jeremyramone]

Marc’s q Lazarus song part is a bloody masterpiece, solid choice señor cole

[JonasPolsky]

My guess was Ronnie Creager, but MJ makes perfect sense.

To imagine that a legend like Cole has a favorite skater is kinda hard to imagine but kinda obvious at the same time when u think about it

love mj's tiltmode army part. still have it on good old VHS

That magazine cabinet is so organised. Its making me feel bad about my stash.

Man down is still my favorite skate video of all time. Man to go back in time and be 14 watching that video again with my friends before heading to the park or just to skate. That was always the video we’d watch before going to skate, great time.

[andymerkel]

talking about him in the past tense... ha ha... he's still around, right?! but yeah, he's right; I can't imagine the world of skateboarding without Marc Johnson...

its been a loong time anybody else..? i would love to skate again this summer was the first summer i didnt go to the skatepark just work and sleep things slowly begin to fade and become memories its a weird sad feeling

[michaelswanson]

Hell yeah Chris! I can see why you picked him.. both of you are pretty tech creative.. with the exception that you're more gnar than him. Marc is like if Rodney Mullen was a "street skater".. like that's MJ! Super freestyle tech madness!
Cheers Chris and MJ 🍻

Puffy shoes and baggy jeans the way it should be

Josh kalis gave Cole a $100 to bs flip the love gap

[tylerriggs]

It’s crazy how easy it is to see the influence of pros favorites on their own style as soon as they mention them.

[CT-nblm]

Marc can't stop posing after he lands a trick..

[jeremiahreen]

Mothman prophecies bugged me out, kinda liked it... Anyhow, Cole is the skaters skater through my eyes. Bit ironic kinda.

[MC_]

Great choice by Cole. Like how it goes onto play his entire part from in bloom. That backside flip down love gap...

[thoughtprocess]

I miss all those big shoes. So much more support

[nickn]

Your favorite skaters, favorite skater.

[booski]

Wow I was trying to guess who it would be before watching, I was way off. Great choice though.
