Top 5: Chris Farmer

Chris Farmer is on top of this game! There are only a few people who have had as much of an impact on blading as he has. Not only this but in almost every one of his video sections you will find a trick that has never seen before. He reinvented negative tricks and has made them look as stylish as his wardrobe – which has often influenced peoples own style. He is a role model, a pioneer, a true professional and is one of blading’s very few superheroes. We are proud to present Chris Farmers personal Top 5!
