I agree, Roberts would make a nice addition to the Chocolate pro ranks. I'm not sure that'll happen soon as they have just bumped up Calloway and Eldridge as well we have the addition of Pop's. With York gone now they may have a board for him soon. Time to Shine could be the boost he needs.

I've never heard anyone say "TURN ALEX KLEIN PRO. HE RULES!"

adio, man they have a good ass team, but yeah......vivas....ugh

Yes.....I would very much like to see a Chris Roberts board on the wall....in fact, I haven't ridden a Chocolate board since around '97.....I would end that streak if he gets bumped up to board status.
-
stranger stranger
-
I did find it amusing that he skated in shoes with heartograms on them in his time to shine part.
i like him alot.
-
i heard those shoes are actually pretty good. still wouldn't skate em though.
-
they looked pretty wide and chunky like most adios.
-
Wonder if his photo incentives would have gone down if he cut the heartagrams off. Seems to me Bam's assclownery overshadows the really good guys on Adio's team same with element. The Wray's looked alright even though they reminded me of a Lakai Soca.
The fact that they looked like Socas means there's a small chance I'd probably skate in those if I didn't have to go to Pac Sun and buy them (which is the only place that sells them in town) since I liked the Socas. Solid team for the most part but I just never got excited about the product.
-
So, if a shoe looks like another shoe, it sucks?
Lame.
-
Yeah, skating in Bam's. Ouch.

i thought his shit in the chocolate tour(the real one) was good but haven't felt that way about anything else i've seen since.
-
what does chocolate have to loose? if they lost york, roberts turning pro would be a great replacement
-
Speaking of Chris Roberts....I just watched his Hot Chocolate and Listen parts on good old youtube.....but I was wondering is anyone has his first chocolate part....I can't remember the name of the video...The Chocolate Tour?..or something....I remember a super long nosegrind and a 5-0 on a ledge off of some stairs.....it is from 1999....I think....I would really like to check that section again...I haven't seen it forever...so if anyone puts that up....I would like to say "thank you" in advance.....have a good one.
1992.

mad beard

his part was so boring, slow, and repitive.

seeing how he reffered to "the chocolate tour" and "1999", i'd have guess it was the chocolate tour part i was talking about a few posts up.
-
too many nollie shuvit variations for my liking
that is about the worst trick ever
the guy lives off of nosegrind shuvit and nosemanual shuvit tricks
pro? hell no.

why do you think it's important?

what?

what?
why do you care if he has a better shoe sponsor?
and also how many manual , shuv-it, and nosegrind combos going slower than a moped on the highway can the world handle before people start having seizures and acid flashbacks
-
the only skaters that can possibly hate on chris roberts are the ones that have been skating for all of two years, or if you're stupid and don't understand style and different types of skating.

well im 21 and been skating for about 12 off and on and i really just don't like people who skate slow, when he first popped up i was like damn this dude is good but for the past 6 years plus hes been doin the same shit at painfully slow speed, and his hot choc part was a hot diaper
-
roberts is on the road to becoming the next Daniel Castillo. Living on the same tricks over and over again for every video part, and not progressing one bit. Sure he might have great style, but with 5 tricks and repetetive lines, video parts it wont get you far. Chocolate doesn't another Justin Eldridge, atleast Eldridge skates rails, which give him the smallest amount of "flare" over roberts who doesn't do shit.

CO-SIGN PLAYA....

absolutely not
-
i want a fuckin beard
-
CHRIS ROBERTS is siiiiick!
-
I like to support professional skateboarding and the people who I like to watch and respect.....I would be more than happy to purchase a board with Chris Roberts name on it....I hope it will arrive soon.....and as far as people talking shit on his Time to Shine part....so what?.....almost all of his footage looks like he's awake but taking a nap......casual.....the kind of skating I respect fully.
-
i want a fuckin beard
-
i want a fuckin beard
take mine, i wish i couldn't grow one.
-
nollie shuv its are far from the worst tricks. doing them into things not only looks sick but feels good as hell too. i guess its all opinion, but i'd save the worst trick ever moniker for something like late back foot kickflips or something circus-esque like that
-
HE IS ALREADY THE NEXT DANNY CASTILLO..BEEN ON THE TEAM LONGER THAN DEVINE AND ELDRIGE AND THEY ARE ALREADY PRO.. THEY PAST HIM JUST LIKE THAT MIKE MO IS GOING TO DO.. AND THAT FUCKING BEARD SUCKS...HE SHOULD GO SKATE A RAMP WITH HASLAM AND LEARN SOME MORE DIVERSE TRICKS !
-
jealous cuz you can't grow a beard nor pubes?
-
take mine, i wish i couldn't grow one.
haha not that kind, thanks
-
AFTER WATCHING THAT TWS VIDEO JUST NOW... RBOERTS WILL BE AN AM FOR THIS REST OF HIS LIFE UNLESS HE QUITE CHOCO OR STARTS DOING BETTER TRICKS.. THAT LAST TRICK WAS A FUCKING JOKE.. THAT OTHER GUY WITH THE SLOW SKATING AND BAD STYLE DID THAT SHIT OUT OF A MANUAL .. WITH A SHUV IT BEFORE IT.. YOU KNOW YOUR PARTS BAD WHEN YOUR FRIENDS HAVE BETTER SHIT THAN YOU
KENNY ANDERSON * JOJO BREZENSKI
-
THAT LAST TRICK WAS A FUCKING JOKE..
okay i don't care how much you don't like him, but you can't call that ender a joke. it was fucking balanced, long, and switch. that other guy's wasn't switch, not to mention it was ugly as balls.
-
what is this ender you speak of

its so much harder then a lot of handrail tricks, people got used to see crazy handrail shit as the ender and when they see something a bit different they hate on it
-
fakie ollie switch nosegrind for a fuckin decent buttery amount of time, switch 360 shove out
-
fakie ollie switch nosegrind?
-
yeah?
okay its a fakie ollie into a switch 5-0 type thing. jesus, i don't know.
-
haha so it would be...fakie nosegrind switch 3 shove out?
-
yes thats it!
-
haha yes i cracked the case
-
i liked his nollie noseblunt
-
i think the pop shuv nosegrind on that ledge is one of the most stylish tricks in that video
-
that other guy's wasn't switch, not to mention it was ugly as balls.
ronson's was a fakie shove-it switch manual ss fs 360 shove-it out.
-
oh whoops. but i think we all agree that we'd rather watch chris roberts.
-
turn this guy pro!!!!!!
im a buyer for a shop and all i can say is ill but that board on the wall!!
-
i would agree with you guys ONLY if he starts doing more fliptricks than the people who guest in his parts, shovit variations can only take you so far, FLIP THE DAMN BOARD OVER
-
A fakie ollie to switch 5-0 is probably the easiest of all the "tech" tricks out there. Chris Roberts part is repetitive and in no way should it merit him pro status, any other company (besides the one his homies own), and that guy would maybe be flow, he sucks hahahahahahaha. kick him off, don't turn him pro.
-
you like hoobastank.
turn chris roberts pro.
-
he makes skating slow look gooooood. if everyone skated fast, there would be chaos! all kinds of people running into each other
-
no one makes slow skating look good, the only trick i liked in that part was the fakie nosegrind 360 shov, and that was to long to be going as slow as the rest of his part
-
hes obviously holding back his best footage
-
i would agree with you guys ONLY if he starts doing more fliptricks than the people who guest in his parts, shovit variations can only take you so far, FLIP THE DAMN BOARD OVER

I want to see a Chris Roberts board.....yes....I agree that his part in Time to Shine could have been better...but damn...everything he did do was perfect.....I know everyone hated this part...but I thought it was pretty solid.....I know the tricks were rally close to one another...but the balance was outstanding.....no shoe drag,no tail scrape....nothing......I've always liked liked this dude and the way he skates.....and I would be proud to ride a skateboard with his name on it.
You guys can hate on me all you want...but I feel that his section reflected good style and balance....in other words...being really comfortable with your skateboard....when this is in play....it is very fun to watch.
does anyone here understand?
-
If he was "comfortable" he would skate faster.

The wrays look nothing like Socas.

i understand. rather see tricks that are a bit more 'simple' and looking the way roberts makes them look than pushing it too much and getting disgusting tech tricks. i guess people focus way too much on tricks these days. Of course, the tricks couldve been better, but there are very few people who can do em like that, which is sick imo and i think he should be pro.

i would buy a roberts board like *snaps fingers*

Same, as long as its not the same old girl/choc 7.5/7.625 deck.

he's about as diverse as prison food.

BA-ZING!!!!!!
-
I would buy his board if it wasn't the usual China-made bullshit crailtap makes.
-
oh shut up with that "its china wood, no buy ever" crap
IT DOESN'T MAKE A FUCKIN DIFFERENCE
-
You are a fool if you can't tell a difference between the old stuff and this new China garbage everyone is selling.
Honestly, kick out of a trick down something as measly as a 4 stair with a Girl deck. I guarantee you do the same to a DLX or DNA deck, it won't even do a fraction of the damage. You are telling me you can't see the difference when you can do something as lame as mess up a flatground tre flip and get a dent in the nose when it's nearly brand new?
That shit didn't always happen.
-
i've messed up plenty of tre flips on the chocolate i'm riding and there is still no dent in the nose. i've been riding girl/chocolate for years and i can't tell at all.
-
if you've been riding girl/choco decks for years, then you're just used to the shittiness of those things
-
well i've switched around ya dick.
-
"years" as in about 3 years?
-
nah, more like 7 or 8
-
the next shuv it this guy will be involved with is gunna be me shovin my foot up his ass cuz hes so goddamn horrbile!!#@$##$
-
nah, more like 7 or 8
man, you said the first skate video you saw was modus, you haven't been skating girl decks for 8 years. if you had you'd notice a very big difference in the shape and wood.

well i've switched around ya dick.
i'm a dick for making a valid statement?

No its not its The Chocolat tour 99 Chris roberts stuff in that is sick really good lines and balanced nose grinds. But his part in time to shine is an instant skip when i trough it in the dvd player.

that was my first video, well the first one i ever watched all the way through, other then that i've glanced at some in shops and shit. but other then that i never bothered to really check em out
-
dude seriously turn this guy pro he definetly deserves it.
-
i really enjoyed his part in a time to shine. it grew to be one of my favorites.
-
He should be pro by now!
-
I can tell that you're going to be the new Austin.
-
pro? hell no.

AUSTIN BOT 2.5 version

Why all the Roberts hate? The dude pretty much shut down the Santa Monica stage in Hot Chocolate. I wish I was able to pick up that 8" Garvey deck.
-
he'll never be pro

Chris Roberts of chocolate?
-
Get rid of that peice of SHIT Poppalardo and turn this guy pro God damnit.
I don't see why Rick keeps Pops around - dude doesn't even respect him.
