Recent years have seen the rise of a new phenomenon in skateboarding: The Youtube hero. Whether you are in your thirties (and the idea of uber technical tricks done at 2 miles an hour makes you cry) or 13 (and in awe of the incredibly precise movements kids from the back of beyond with zero sponsors are doing) one thing is for certain – the sharing aspect of social media means this new kind of skate icon is here to stay.
One such cat that has risen to the top of the cream is Christopher Chann; you probably saw him at Battle of the Berrics or may even be one of the near 200 thousand Channel subscribers lapping up his every skatepark based move– either way, you’ll be stoked to know he’s actually gone and released a full street part and, fair play to the lad, it’s really pretty good!
