One of my favorite skaters of all time is Chris Roberts. Many of you may have never heard of Chris Roberts, but this guy is one hell of a skater. I like Chris Roberts for his unique skating style primarily relying on the manual which is depicted in the gif above. He is well known in the skate community but is not well known outside of the community.

Chris Roberts is a pro skater from Inglewood California. He grew up skating and was involved with the southern California skate scene from an early age. He is a very humble person and really cares about the future of skateboarding.

Chris Roberts turned pro in 2007 for Chocolate Skateboards, the company he rides for to this day. He has been featured in many Chocolate films, and video parts. He is known for doing manuals, grinding, flips into manuals, and all-around street skating.

Beyond just skating, Chris Roberts founded The Nine Club in 2016. It is a podcast for skaters and its tagline is “the show that has skaters talking”. On The Nine Club Chris interviews many skaters old and new, and the show now has over 200 episodes. This show has become very popular and is one of Chris Roberts more well-known projects out there.

Over the years I have watched many skaters, and have seen some really talented people. I know Chris Roberts might not be the most technical skater, but his style is unbeatable. He has a swagger about him that you can’t help but admire. Below will be some links to my favorite Chris Roberts video parts.
