[l8rdayzchickie]

How many Childress' do you think there are in the world?

[Skatemore1243]

[Vilagen]

Damn he needs to sort his wheels out lol. but he is an awesome skater

[lukefromwakefield]

why does america have so many amazing skateparks eeeevery where?

[Trickour]

hey donald has a population of like 1000 now lol

[glohixon]

I will comment and drop the Childress name whenever I feel like it as well as watch their videos. I admire these two young men who have overcome obstacles and are tenacious to follow their dreams. Your are right, I don't know everything (I don't know Nihilism 13) but I'm sure you are probably a pretty good kid! Maybe try to update your vocabulary!

[glohixon]

You and Clint are amazing. Very proud of you two. Talented, articulate, interesting and having fun! Your Aunt...Gloria Darlene Childress Hixon. P. S. Wonderful to see how you both have grown up. Haven't seen you in 25+ years

[Nihilism13]

You don't know shit! Quit name droppin', fool.

[skatespom]

thats just gnarlly man.

[Frankhasnolife]

Oregon Rep, 541 lincoln county

[RIPstevie817]

I used to skate with chet when I was like 10. Him and my brother were good friends. That was before he moved to cali. I'm in a really old skate video with him. those were the days...

[Nihilism13]

I seriously doubt it. How about, less name dropping, more skating. You and "Childress' aunt" need to get real.

[FLAUMCREW]

Why didn't they go to hood river?

[penguinsauce87]

......where do they shower on this trip? by their looks i wouldnt be surprised if they didnt

[ryanisc001]

i really respect this guys skating,this is a cool video

[HesherSkateVids]

Right on. I've lived in Portland OR all my life. P+rtland 4 life.

[Chewy7771]

Why is there so many parks if no one skates lmfao. I live in montreal and the skaters here would kill for a few parks like that if not just one. We have shit here

[youknowwhatsupdudes]

D.I.Y.

[dankinstienhash]

[nightshite]

[alecpfb]

[sabotage151]

Oregon is the place. I was skating HR yesterday and Chet and his crew were there all day -- creek gap can in hand

[littlemc444]

this is exactly why you shouldn't do crack

[bdoggz2264]

hey i have always wonderd when it rains the bowls whould fill with water how do the get it out??

[MrNeilBritto]

they have drains at the bottom yu cant notice because theyre just little holes so yu dnt get stuck but ive heard stories about skateparks being built by the wrong ppl who forgot to put drains in like 12 foot bowls....id be so bummed

[mattberry08]

at skateparks?

well most skateparks have small drains at the flatbotton.

[adda89]

pools. don usually have drains unless they been made to skate. so you get a bucket, or a pump. whatever you can.

[hamish1029384756]

get the bonfire going man!

[RODTX]

El Luda Crooks!!!!

[funcravers]

Hometown for me!

Fuck yeah!

[ricewodd]

[Nickyboy8888]

This makes me even prouder to be an oregonian

[INTERNETISREAL]

[theWhambam2]

what's the fourth song?

[curtisthompson34]

[matrixmanneo]

URGENT MESSAGE

Chet/Clint, theres been a death in the family call your Uncle Robert for details. RSVP Your Cousin Susan

[phonxrips]

damn this shit takes me back, i love all the parks that were shown but i lived in redmond oregon for a grip and that park often gets overlooked, it has the sickest snake run capable for human consumption. peace

[Don1970]

This is awesome...I use to skate with his brother Clint back around 87 and into 88. Damn, this is the first time I've seen him since then. I'll never forget seeing Clint do a kickflip off a sidewalk into the street back then. He had a real hardcore style to him...sick ass grinds and shit, big ollies. That kickflip at the time was the shit. It's not much now, but I'm talking 21 years ago.

Awesome vid. I'd love to see the whole thing.

[poncho2211]

Wow that's sucks I live in wilsonville OR, and that is the only city in oregon without a decent skatepark. Damn it

[sammyyyy90]

Ludacrooks is the dopeness.

Nike Sb is the dopeness.

..hella old school, just forget about all of the bullshit.

[yeahhammer]

in sweden we got like one skatepark peer city

[Trickour]

I was at Donald yesterday :D LOVE

[HeshBerg]

well I heard he lives in Portland now, so of course he is going to be at Newberg, or West Linn. I saw him at the new Grindline park in Vancouver, WA not to long ago. I still haven't seen him at Battle Ground yet though.

[sk8r1369]

he was just at newberg like a month ago. it was kick ass

[poloariz12]

i see chet at the west linn park every now and then

[nshamas]

I can't believe anyone has the audacity to hate on Chet Childress.. what the fuck; who cares if he rides for Nike SB.. the company may be a corporate greed pool, but Chet deserves nothing but the utmost respect.

[HeshBerg]

Holy shit. I posted this on another chet video but seriously. What the fuck is wrong with Nike. People have been skating them since the 80's. Plus they acctually try to help the skate scence. Have you seen their adds talking about the treatment of skateboarders (search "Nike Skateboarding Runners)? What about all the money they put in to get parks built up here in the great northwest. What has consolidated done?

[hippywolf]

real skateboarders? some people dont have to worry about a paycheck i guess? real skaters dont trip on that. real skaters

skate and dont sit on myspace talking bitch.

chett is rad, and hes gotta eat. rich kids yell sell out homie.

not real skaters

[SirLoin1987]

haha chet is amazing u dumbass . just bc nike endorses sports and has a shit ton of money dosent mean u should diss it. chet could skate in fucking sandals and be fucking amazing. nike just has the money to make a awesome product. i like nike sb shoes. but i also wear other skate shoes too. pro skaters cant sellout thed still be doing what they love to do (skate) even if they had no sponsors. tell a pro baseball player to still play after they take away his paycheck.....wont happen.

[skyler154]

you're lame dude. chet is the shit. oregon has the best parks out there. i'll bet you couldn't even ride em. poser.

[toowaker37]

Oregon is the best part of the US. It has all that is beautiful, the ocean, mountains, bike trails and best skateparks made of crete. The people are cool and laid back. Once you live in Oregon visiting the rest of the US is depressing.

[Eliepowahpop]

The truth was spoken right there.

Chet is the freakin shit.

Who cares about Nike SB's role in skateboarding? I for one, enjoy using their shoes because they work. They're functional, and you know what? Nike puts alot of money into skateboarding, so hate all you want. I just wanna go skate.

[bendevine90]

real skateboarders dont skate for nike .. . . one big fake=chet childres

[punX5notdead]

true. i agree

[ilovewimer]

this must be old, cuz he still has all his teeth.
