Tanabata Skateboards Welcomes Chris Russell

When he's not folding people in half on the jiu jitsu mat, Chris Russell is conquering concrete the world over. He's been one of our favorites for years—and he's just a really nice guy too. Word was spreading after the last Keris Cup that a new board company was brewing from Sky Brown and her father (who organized the skate contest in Bali). Chris Russell is a big new addition for Tanabata who boasts "Putting the TEAM back in TEAM!!
The BEST Transition Skate Team in the World." on its IG bio.

Nice interview and footage from Josh Peacock. He used to do the Backyard Barging videos for us.
