Chris Russell

He’s raw and gnarly and slaps his deck on the coping harder, louder and more often than just about anyone else. If we were to sum up his style in a single word: rowdy. Chris Russell, however, is not all rock ‘n’ roll and disasters. Chris has a whole other side to him that the skate industry doesn’t regularly see. He’s a dad, for example. Did you know that Chris’ son was born in July of 2024? Talk about the beginning of a whole new chapter. Congrats. Also, he got his first Thrasher cover for that same month. Clearly he is far from slowing down on his board. He’s also super into rock climbing and jiu-jitsu. Maybe he’s speeding up?
