It seems he joined because of what memories it gave him and thats obviously thats what makes skating fun for him, so its obviously for the true meaning of skating so I support him all the way.
HEY EVERYONE! deal with it. he has his own life to worry about, and if he wants to be on DC thats what he is going to do. he has way more important things to worry about in his life. so just be happy he is still skating not upset that he is on DC. just remember DC has and will still be a part of skateboarding
in fact, if i were chris cole, i would start my own brand instead of being signed with DC.That brand would be immediate popular..... and he will literally be the BOSS....
he's not a sellout. he is probably the best skateboarder in the world and he deserves to be paid like the best skateboarder in the world. he shouldn't have to stay with one brand just to make you happy. just skate and have fun.
I was kind of upset when I first heard about this, but at the same time this dude has a family to support and bills to pay and as fun as it is, skateboarding is still a job. And to everyone saying dc and zero aren't a good match, watch Smith's part in The DC Video, and then watch his part in Dying to Live, he skated for dc and zero back in the day too and he killed it
I feel Cole did the right choice. To pick the more powerful company is to get his name about. Look at the section he gave for Fallen, look at all the coverage his getting at The Berrics. Now he is riding for one of the strongest shoe companies out there. They will put Cole to work with more advertising of one of our best skaters alive. It's funny how people say DC suck, they don't last.... Have you worn every pair of DC?
Fallen suits Cole better than DC but in the end its his decision and he is still my favourite skater, no matter what shoe he rides for. Can't wait to see his signature shoe this fall
Chris Cole skating on Fallen: Beast Chris Cole skating on DC: Beast Chris Cole is a beast skating on any type of shoe so I don't see why anyone is complaining? Chris Cole could be skating in green socks and could still be a beast.
I'm glad cole made this video now i can accept it and move on from hating on his decision and when his new shoe comes out for dc. ecpect me to be there buying a pair
CHRIS COLE ON DC IS GREAT. Cole has ben my favorite skater since I started, and to the point when I was ready to move on from skating. When I saw New Blood, maybe you older guys have heard of it, fuck all this new tech ledge shit I've seen these last couple years, he blew my mind and I became a Fallen and Zero fan. He deserves the extra paycheck and I think it's refreshing in the 'skate scene' especially for DC.
Chris Cole is by far one of the illest skaters of this time...even if he skated for footlocker, sketchers and dunkin' donuts at the same time, it wouldn't matter shit to me. Cole-abo!
The way i see it, if you have kids, then there's no way you can sell out. He has kids who deserve a good life, and if he can provide that for them by going onto DC and getting a metric fuckton of money from them, then all the power to him.
all you guys can hate on Chris Cole, you guys can call him a sell out, and you guys can talk shit all you want about him. you can also hate on DC shoes all you want, but DC has been stepping their game up. from what their shoes look like and the shape of their new shit, they're getting up there. yeah, Fallen has some sick shit too, don't get me wrong. i love both of the companies, but it was a good decision. everyones needs a change. props to Chris Cole. FUCK YEAH !
He's a husband and father and DC can offer him more financially. Period. They can promote and market him on a much larger scale and truthfully it only makes sense that a skater of his level signs with them. I like Fallen and Lakai because they are 100% skateboarder run and sell products for skaters only. DC started out like that but expanded into something larger. Cole isn't a sell out. He's a smart human being.
@Painless1992 Simple answer actually, but not well known at all. Pro's are always skating practical cupsoles with good padding and tons of impact support for going down stairs. Look at Lakai for example, Almost all of their models have lots of padding and impact support. But it's all the little KIDS who skate the flimsy manchesters that shred in 3 weeks, while Mike Mo is actually skating his durable, super impact, XLK cupsole pro models.
Chris doesnt owe anybody an explanation for his switch. hes his own person and yeah at the end of the day all of the skate rats who are deep into industry politics are going to be bugged when an epic skater decides he wants to change something. remember everyone chris has gotta make himself happy before he puts out another video part to make you guys happy. same with koston and nike, same with any big name skater. let them live their life and just be happy you get to enjoy their amazing skating.
@rhdsir2 I agree man. Still stick with the brand but I miss Stevie williams The reasons the most, it may just be me remembering age 13 hardcore though.
@6941990 i actually read that yesterday. it was pretty cool, so now i'm down with all this. seeing a dgk coming into fallen and a zero going to dc is pretty cool. but whatever happened to lindsey robertson? i haven't found him on the website.
Don't forget fuckers, Cole's first board sponsor was NOT Zero, it was A-Team in the final days of that company. They basically jumpstarted his career and when A-Team dissolved, Cole went to Zero and has been their ever since!
@TZsk8er0 It's about money lil boy, we all love skating , but at the end of the day I'm not going to turn down more money just because I want u to see me riding for another team, Cole is a veteran to the whole scene and his choice to move shows that DC offered him something better (and not just in terms of money)
@daP1NK321 if he leaves zero that'll just be stupid. he has like 10 pro models for them and he is the best member on the team. especially with the new zero video coming out soon
Lul wtf are you guys talking about DC being bad, skate shoes these days are shit, plain and simple. Boxer shoes would last you at least more then 3 months, shoes these days have pretty much one layer of fabric to protect your feet which rips, within your first few tricks that involve pop in any way. When I started skating I stopped using by boxer shoes not because the sides had ripped but because there was a hole in the bottom of the shoe.
it's people like that who are calling cole a sellout for switching to DC who are ruining skateboarding and turning it into some mainstream bullshit. This ain't the NFL mother fuckers, so you shouldn't be getting offended when a skater switches companies.
cant wait for a full part
DC's are really the best! they stepped up their skate game like no other! as a company they do so much for the skateboarding world!
I remember rockin the Clockers. DC was the shit in the mid to late 90's and still is!
OF COURSE IT WAS HIM, cant wait to see more, THANK YOU DC
Im glad that hes part of the team! he's a good skater
honestly cole on DC is dope. stoked on the move
It seems he joined because of what memories it gave him and thats obviously thats what makes skating fun for him, so its obviously for the true meaning of skating so I support him all the way.
HEY EVERYONE! deal with it. he has his own life to worry about, and if he wants to be on DC thats what he is going to do. he has way more important things to worry about in his life. so just be happy he is still skating not upset that he is on DC. just remember DC has and will still be a part of skateboarding
well i think its really cool that hes on DC
This was two days after my birthday... WHAT A FUCKING GREAT PRESENT!
@Sirafrican Your absolutely right. It seems like this generation of skateboarders care more about the brands than the activity itself. Solid post man!
at first when i heard this, i was hella shocked.
but i realised, ill get use to his image on dc.
i think everyone will eventually.
in fact, if i were chris cole, i would start my own brand instead of being signed with DC.That brand would be immediate popular..... and he will literally be the BOSS....
he's not a sellout. he is probably the best skateboarder in the world and he deserves to be paid like the best skateboarder in the world. he shouldn't have to stay with one brand just to make you happy. just skate and have fun.
dc has always been and always will be a legit company no matter what anyone says
I was kind of upset when I first heard about this, but at the same time this dude has a family to support and bills to pay and as fun as it is, skateboarding is still a job. And to everyone saying dc and zero aren't a good match, watch Smith's part in The DC Video, and then watch his part in Dying to Live, he skated for dc and zero back in the day too and he killed it

It's funny how people say DC suck, they don't last.... Have you worn every pair of DC?
They need a Chris Cole Series
Fallen suits Cole better than DC but in the end its his decision and he is still my favourite skater, no matter what shoe he rides for. Can't wait to see his signature shoe this fall
Cole can choose whatever shoe he can. He still can do what Kalis did with his eyes closed
CHRIS COLE FOREVER
still my favorite skater!!
the lynx 2 is the best DC shoe EVER. Good choice cole. You'll do well on DC.
Chris Cole skating on Fallen: Beast
Chris Cole skating on DC: Beast
Chris Cole is a beast skating on any type of shoe so I don't see why anyone is complaining? Chris Cole could be skating in green socks and could still be a beast.
"Im a big fan of cool shit" EPIC
YEAH CHRIS !!!!
i cant wait for his pro model to drop!
badass
If you are a fan of Chris Cole, you should be happy for him! Be happy that he is being sponsored by a company he loves!
i wish this was my history class
watch when u see chris coles shoe i seen them they are hella sick dc with finally have a cool shoe sence the prides
For all you haters it doesn't matter what company of shoe he's skating for it's just a shoe atleast he's getting money
ughhhhhhhhhhh, because its cole we all have to give dc a chance now.
I'm glad cole made this video now i can accept it and move on from hating on his decision and when his new shoe comes out for dc. ecpect me to be there buying a pair
the shoes that danny is wearing at 1:50 are the ones i have now to skate in the dc pures
DC is dope, CHRIS COLE is dope. PEROID
@Sirafrican True that!
wish he was still on fallen... like if u agree
CHRIS COLE ON DC IS GREAT. Cole has ben my favorite skater since I started, and to the point when I was ready to move on from skating. When I saw New Blood, maybe you older guys have heard of it, fuck all this new tech ledge shit I've seen these last couple years, he blew my mind and I became a Fallen and Zero fan. He deserves the extra paycheck and I think it's refreshing in the 'skate scene' especially for DC.
am i the only one thats noticed that he talked about everyone except for chaz ortiz thourought his welcome to dc?
Chris Cole is by far one of the illest skaters of this time...even if he skated for footlocker, sketchers and dunkin' donuts at the same time, it wouldn't matter shit to me. Cole-abo!
The way i see it, if you have kids, then there's no way you can sell out. He has kids who deserve a good life, and if he can provide that for them by going onto DC and getting a metric fuckton of money from them, then all the power to him.
I remember when this first happened. Greatest decision he's ever made! No hate on Fallen though.
all you guys can hate on Chris Cole, you guys can call him a sell out, and you guys can talk shit all you want about him. you can also hate on DC shoes all you want, but DC has been stepping their game up. from what their shoes look like and the shape of their new shit, they're getting up there. yeah, Fallen has some sick shit too, don't get me wrong. i love both of the companies, but it was a good decision. everyones needs a change. props to Chris Cole.

the more cool shit that can happen, im in. keep it up cole.
such a good decision
the legend contenuis

I fucking love it!
People should stop caring what company he's on. Its his decision and doesn't effect your life.
i wasnt pouting or hating. i agree with what u said completely. he just seems like more of a person for fallen than dc. its all opinion though
@MRfliptrick well i dont know about that but it is his job so what would you expect from a job is money
@SkateSurfSnowMedia cause he went to skate for dc wow thats really fucking cool of you saying that
FRESH!
Every skate company is good, u just have to kno how to make them look good.
@ 2:04 to 2:07 saw this part in the skate it intro!
everyone is haters these days on everything he has cool shoes hes the same person why does everyone care so much
I miss Fallen shoes
I own a pair of his purple dc shoes they have a fucking wolf on them awesome as shit
Chris doesnt owe anybody an explanation for his switch. hes his own person and yeah at the end of the day all of the skate rats who are deep into industry politics are going to be bugged when an epic skater decides he wants to change something. remember everyone chris has gotta make himself happy before he puts out another video part to make you guys happy. same with koston and nike, same with any big name skater. let them live their life and just be happy you get to enjoy their amazing skating.
@empiresk8boarding wat! now i gotta find them!
@elementpants13 thank you. most people dont know this. i still personally like fallen shoes better but dc has such a good vibe.
@rhdsir2 I agree man. Still stick with the brand but I miss Stevie williams The reasons the most, it may just be me remembering age 13 hardcore though.
@arkk1 they are sketchers shapeups
chris cole is the good!
@17inFish no, they're still gonna run around. I mean look at the Berra 3's they're still out, and Berra moved to DC ages ago.
DC shoes been around longer and far better made than Fallen so good move for Cole all round
Lutzka: Globe to K-Swiss
Koston: Lakai to Nike Sb
Appleyard: Flip to Element
Kalis: AWS to DGK
Cole: Fallen to DC
All the pros are doing it :)
now the team will be better with chris
man, its so weird how hes on dc but hes still sick as fuck xD
@6941990 i actually read that yesterday. it was pretty cool, so now i'm down with all this. seeing a dgk coming into fallen and a zero going to dc is pretty cool. but whatever happened to lindsey robertson? i haven't found him on the website.
@skatingpaki I second that.
YOU BETTER HAVE AN EXPLANATION FOR THIS
CHRIS COLE IS EPIC I DONT CAR IF HE SKATES FOR FIRE FLY HE ROCKS
@yomman123 i think the shoe was called the boxer
hey, the guy has a family now. its not just about him anymore, im pretty sure he could use the money if it means just changing his shoe sponsor
I too am a fan of cool shit.
@reubentg hell yeah bro!
Don't forget fuckers, Cole's first board sponsor was NOT Zero, it was A-Team in the final days of that company. They basically jumpstarted his career and when A-Team dissolved, Cole went to Zero and has been their ever since!
@TZsk8er0 It's about money lil boy, we all love skating , but at the end of the day I'm not going to turn down more money just because I want u to see me riding for another team, Cole is a veteran to the whole scene and his choice to move shows that DC offered him something better (and not just in terms of money)
thats pretty weird i hope he stays gold
@daP1NK321 if he leaves zero that'll just be stupid. he has like 10 pro models for them and he is the best member on the team. especially with the new zero video coming out soon
@BobbySkatesAllDay Actually, it was enjoi then World industries then he went to Zero.
Im glad hes on DC.
Fallen's a good shoe but DC Has done some "Cool Shit"
Lul wtf are you guys talking about DC being bad, skate shoes these days are shit, plain and simple. Boxer shoes would last you at least more then 3 months, shoes these days have pretty much one layer of fabric to protect your feet which rips, within your first few tricks that involve pop in any way. When I started skating I stopped using by boxer shoes not because the sides had ripped but because there was a hole in the bottom of the shoe.
@adrianpena66 yeah and plus they have some more room for tony cervantes! :D
did anyone else notice the spit at 0:45
He is good at skating
you forgot to mention how much bigger your paychecks are haha
Fallen was started by DC in 2003. DC used to manufacture Fallen shoes. Get over it, Chris wants money to support his family.
0:38 SD SPOT!
@Sirafrican i agrea with you
when the Chris Cole shoes ???
@pplaskme That was the original name. But they're not a part of Droors anymore.
@adrianpena66 yeah rippers are the best shoes. hopefully theyll start just making them as a team shoe.
it's people like that who are calling cole a sellout for switching to DC who are ruining skateboarding and turning it into some mainstream bullshit. This ain't the NFL mother fuckers, so you shouldn't be getting offended when a skater switches companies.
HE ROCKS IDONT CAR IF HIS SHOE SPONSOR IS AIRWALK HE IS EPIC
In my eyes Chris is still fallen thumbs up if you think the same :D
not mad but dissapointed because i would really love a pair of chris coles fallen shoe trooper but im cool with the decision
