Chris Miller

[Skateboard Shuffle]

How is there no Chris Miller "appreciation" thread? Chris is my all time favorite with undeniable style and speed. I've owned way more Miller pro models than any other. His influence on board shapes and graphics is huge and his company, Planet Earth, was the best.

Let's see your favorite Miller pics!

I will start with the mandatory Grant Brittain photo at Upland.

Backing/bumping this thread. CM is seriously one of the all time greats from that era & still killing it to this day.
Mountains of respect to him.

As an aside, all of his shapes on Welcome have been fantastic to ride: coincidentally, he & I prefer the same dimensions.

I wish. The first Miller board I skated was the G&S Lizard. After that, I had three of the Dog boards on Schmitt Stix.

I bought one of the Faces reissues on Welcome. The OGs are way too pricey.

Not to shit on him in any way... but is he the first big (for lack of a better word...)  sellout?
Selling planet earth. Starting Adio with those folks.

Again.  I love his skating & I’m not saying that wasn’t a smart move. I just remember being shocked he sold his shit.
Adio made great quality shoes those first few years. Really comfortable and long lasting. Planet earth clothing was in some horrible big box shops way way before most brands. So far ahead they were behind. 

He did mercury trucks too. Those were shit.  The team was incredible.

I’m just typing away. No real point or opinion on my end. I’m over worrying about skating. Just something to slap around.
