Chris Cole (born March 10, 1982 in Statesville, North Carolina), is a professional skateboarder. Cole currently resides in Levittown, Pennsylvania, along with his wife and his son, but now moving out to California.
Chris is known for wearing slim fitting pants, which are a defining factor of his style. Originally, he wore extremely baggy pants, similar to Stevie Williams, and Brandon Biebel.
He is sponsored by Fallen Footwear,Zero Skateboards, thunder trucks, and a few other companies along with G-Spot Skate Shop. Past sponsors include Ezekiel clothing, Axion Shoes, World Industries Skateboards. He rides regular which means his left foot is at the front of the board. He has the notable achievement of tre flipping (otherwise known as a tre' flip) down the Wallenberg four (a set of four large stairs at Wallenberg High School, measuring approximately six feet high, and eighteen feet long), in San Francisco. if one was to view the stairs from the google earth program, the gap would be approximately as long as three cars parked sideways.
Other tricks performed by Cole include, a frontside 270 kickflip noseblunt on the now skate-stopped Beverly Hills High School 9 stair rail. He also tuck-knee grabbed down the hollywood high 16 stair, switch frontside flipped,tre flipped and backside flipped (Backside 180 Kickflip) the Love Gap,, as well as having 360 flipped the pit big 4 in australie (the rincon 4), he also received the gold medal for X-games Best trick competition by doing a 360 double flip(a 3flip with two kickflips) down a double set of stairs, he tried to do a nollie f/s 360 kickflip but ran out of time.
