Chris has been roasting the local scene of Manchester for years now, he's your favourite riders favourite rider and has managed to fly under the radar for a while now. We first got a taste of Chris through the BNGBNGMCR crew when Thaddeus mentioned that Chris had been working on a video part for the BNGBNG KYSFB DVD.
We ended up taking Chris to the Backyard Jam series in 2019 and saw first hand his riding and how consistant he was. And over the last few months have really seen Chris push the Manchester scene.
Chris also took part in the Vans The Circle video project getting the ender clip and smashing it when out riding with the lads.
Chris is hooked up by Radio Bikes through Moore Large. Riding his Nemesis frame chris has been shredding like mad and we cant wait to see more from him in the future.
