Chris Haslam's "Sterling Golden" Part

Chris Haslam embodies what makes skating an art more than it will ever be a sport. His skating speaks volumes about who he is in ways that are obvious to anyone who knows him. Beyond that, his creativity and control have etched his place among the best skaters of any generation. No matter what the terrain, he finds something new for it, spending the last decade and a half as a nomad seeking out places to see his ideas through, not for the sake of being differentor trying to stand out, but for the unvarnished compulsion to do things his own way and push into the unknown. That’s who he is as a person; he does it for the sake of doing it, nothing more—one of the truest skaters I know. This came out a month or so ago, in case you haven’t seen his newest part.
