Hailing from Chicago, IL, over the past few years Chaz (spelled with one “z”) has quickly made a name for himself in the skateboarding world by racking up an impressive tally of top finishes at all the major contests. Standouts include placing 2nd at Phoenix Am 2008, 6th at Tampa Am 2008, 2nd at Volcom Damn Am 2007, and 6th at last year’s Dew Tour PlayStation Pro in Orlando. This 2008 he can now add Dew Tour Free Flow Champion at the ripe age of 14 beating out the likes of MTV’s Ryan Sheckler and Nike SB’s Paul Rodriguez.
Chaz is known for his super smooth, seemingly effortless style, and at only fourteen years of age he exudes a quiet confidence well beyond his years. With youth on his side, fire in his heart and a deep bag of man-sized tricks on lock, Chaz truly is the future of skateboarding.

CHRIS COLE
If Chaz Ortiz is the future Chris Cole is the NOW man. Chris Cole seems to have made a massive impact over the last 12 months hucking out gnarly tricks when it matters. On his board, this East Coaster is “notoriously consistent” and able to skate anything, including quarterpipes, ledges, banks and rails. He also has achieved getting a trick named after himself called the coleflip. Which consists of a backside 360 and a kickflip.
