Chris Cole off DC

[Olympic Skater]

He's removed DC from his sponsor list and is wearing Vans at the Street League Munich stop. Thoughts?

Damn reDisCover

Wasn't this dude SOTY twice? Either Cole is really blowing it or DC is really really blowing it. Or both.

A dude like this should always have a home, I wonder if Berra had anything to with it.

They probably can't afford to pay him.

[Jerkstore]

cole is quite a skate nerd, he probably just enjoys wearing vans for the sake of it

i doubt he'll be put on the team though, most likely he'll be on diamond footwear or nike

It's kind of sad that he will, most likely, never come out with a full part again.

[Olympic Skater]

Think he may go to Straye?

I just wish Brian Schaefer would mention Tampa while he's commentating. . .

Fingers crossed for an Audio comeback

Well he was going to be part boss at Zero

I don't like being a hater on this guy because he's so fucking awesome, but I lost a lot of respect when started selling out so much. He said 'fuck you' to Zero and Fallen when DC and Plan B came knocking. He started Omit apparel and then said 'fuck you' to his OWN project company and went to DC Apparel. And then taking cheques to wear stupid ass Monster wristbands and shit. Chris Cole is so fucking lame.

His knife sponsor is pretty core though


Jokes aside he was my hero growing up. No one could fuck with him because he could do any trick imaginable and now.... Jesus you really are gonna have your own website and put fucking Cobra as your middle name? He's basically up there with Berra when it comes to kooking yourself

Cole has a wife and two kids, bills, and a mortgage. He could have stayed on those dying brands, just to please everyone else while his paychecks got smaller and smaller, but at the end of the day who would that help? Fallen still would have gone out of business because of Nike and Adidas. Zero probably isn't all that far behind either with all of the new board brands and their lack of marketable pros. He still rips, but now he can support his family.

He went over a year without a board sponsor before ending up on Plan B, and Omit was dead a long time before DC Apparel. He didn't kill it, it died because it should have never existed in the first place. I'm not defending your point about the Monster checks but I bet they're enough to get any of us to point a wristband on.

I feel like I need to take this space to make my Christopher Cole confession.

Even in my misguided (misled), bad tasted youth I never dug Chris Cole. His personal fashion style just seemed fake, and contrived to me. Later in life I learned that wasn't actually the case at all, and that Chris Cole just flat out has horrendous fashion sense.

I respect the guy's skill level on the board, but if he was a shining representative of skate fashion, then skaters must appear visually uggo to the unknowing masses.

Therefore Cobra fit in on an irrelevant DC.  DC is the kind of vomit Chris Cole deserves, and needs. Cobra and DC could have been the perpetual vomit fountain that sustained each other for the rest of eternity, but he had to go and fuck it all up double wrist band and all.

This is ok

I always thought it was Christophe.

For a guy with such a ridiculous career, I don't see a big name brand really being that interested in him. Especially Vans or Adidas as I don't see him fitting their aesthetic. Nike sponsors, everyone now with no real vibe to the team, so it's a logical landing spot I guess. Diamond could also work.

As for selling out? He didn't leave Zero until it was on the brink of collapse with potentially shady stuff going on with Blackbox (trying to get Mystery riders to sign a contract to then sell the brand such as Asta). Do people really think that you should stick with a brand that isn't paying you what they are contractually obligated to when you have a family to support when another brand is willing to pay you properly?

Same here, fucking loved Cole. Sure, he is lame. His hairstyle is lame, taste in music is lame, he likes lame things, I know. Still, his kook level is is kind of harmless and he seems like a nice person.

Berra and Koston, on the other hard, are insane. Pretty sure they are into creepy shit like stalking and probably have restraining orders on their asses. For some odd reason Berra was given the liberty to write for TSM (when it was still amazing) and would always write some insane shit. The part that scares me the most is all the crazy shit he he held back.

I say, let Cole be lame. At least he does not have a backyard full of corpses.
