Titus Cvnt is the most epic name ive ever heard
That’s what I’m thinking oh my god
Watching Chandler skate at the glory challenge in person was unreal. Dude was on a mission that day.
Vices woke clown shoe has finally ended in bankruptcy, seems like your extreme far left bubble does not translate to success
Wish vice made more videos like this still. The epicly later'd series is about all i can watch anymore. Glad to see a good vid like this every now and then though
They are so good. I also really like the Thrasher My War series.
All they do is push LGBTQ propaganda.
@@lupo3694 my war is bad fucking ass! Seeing the process behind a clip that lasts like 5 seconds is nuts
4:02 “18-year-old Chandler James Burton, 18”
Incredible journalism
Wouldn't be surprised if that's AI mixed with the absolute absence of editors in this age lol
So obviously demonic
I bet u would whine and complain about literally anything.
@@noahisawesome I get that you're slow but he was making a joke 😂😂😂😂 so you're actually the whiny b**ch in this situation
@@galvanizedgnome 3 x 6 = 18. Or 666 (hail satan)
Bro what? My dawg got a doc on vice?!?!?!? Oh mama omg i love this
Vice is bankrupt due to their fiesta vids. It's gone this is all old now
I like how Patricks videos show the human side of skating. We got some awesome personalities and characters in skating and it's like Patrick sees that
Between epicly later'd and Jenkem, we're fortunate to see a light shone on a side of skateboarding that hasn't been extensively covered in it's early days
Dude has such a cool style. The way he absorbs his impact reminds me of Reynolds.
That’s true or bastien
Dudes a weirdo
Or Jeremy Wray,
During the virtual reality/ second hand smoke era. Early/mid 90s
(IMO)
Chandler Burton!!!! Thank you for being you and seriously being one of the gnarliest skateboarders of all time!!! You skate with so much passion and flavor. Mad love with more respect
all time?
@@mikehemens9359You Read Right.
@@mikehemens9359 he’s a ‘they/them’ that’s why he’s lumped in that category…
@@Androth12 He's a great skater tho. I hate skateboarders 2023 basically. They are flailing lib tards. Stand up for lawful protest!!!!!!!! Stand up for Gaza!!. Stand up for free speech!!!
@@mikehemens9359 Subjective statement but I've heard people say it before too lol
That "dolphin flip" is sick. I had to rewind it like 5x to see wtf was happening.
Yo!!!! I saw that ❤❤
Seriously I always thought they looked like garbage until chandler showed us the way🙌
This video is Tran.s propaganda.
How have you never heard of that before?
@@Tokingdaily710 it doesn't surprise me. Not everybody is a skate nerd. Dolphin flip is a really hard trick so it's not as popular as tre flip. Some people call it forward flip, maybe he heard only this name.
This guy rips! If you think about the long history of homophobia in the skate culture, it makes sense to provide a platform for great skateboarders like Chandler to challenge these views. Ironically, skateboarding has always been seen as a countercultural activity, often not accepted by society at large. We become the enforcers of dominant culture when we judge people for simply being themselves and pursuing what brings them joy. Let's live and let live, homies.
There is no "long history of homophobia" in skating. Stop using exceptions to prove the rule.
Nobody likes fackits
@@Bestwick1983Someone just started skating yesterday.
@@Bestwick1983 If you've spent any time around skaters, you'd know your statement is false.
@@charlesmiv3842 I did. 15 years skating between 1997 and the early 2010's. There was no supposed "culture" of homophobia. Yes, you might have had homophobic individuals that skated, but this was not something unique to skateboarding or embedded/enforced in the culture.
In fact skateboarding and my exposure to it made me a lot more open minded in general to people of all backgrounds and let to me meeting and befriending them.
The problem is your kind wants to take exceptional cases, blow them out of proportion and use this prove some ideological point you're trying to hard to reach for.
When in reality the skate community, if you asked most people (and yes this too is a generalization) they would argue it has always been a force for unity and inclusion as a whole.
Chandler is so dope. I'm so happy he's getting the shine he deserves. Rad fucking skating, rad human.
Gross
18:47 “It’s just salt, dude” as the last line of this is pure editing poetry. Salty CZcams comments get scattered on the path ahead but Chandler skates right over them ✨ Fucking legend
This video is Tran.s propaganda
@@akaMyThought Well it's working on me. I'm not going to transition myself but I definitely support anyone with their own path in life. Earth needs more trailblazers and out-of-the-box thinkers.
@@akaMyThoughtif you gonna hate you should at least get it straight who you hate. Drag ain't trans homie. Read a book.
@@akaMyThought drag doesnt equal trans nerd.
@@akaMyThought TransWorld Skateboarding, dope old school reference.
Chandlers art is dope he should do some sci fi graphics
hes a cool cat , glad i got to learn more about him and his background
I hadn’t heard of him before that Gifted Hater park comp video thing, but I was immediately a fan and this just solidified it. He’s got a mean bs flip
Not even a skater but fully enjoyed this. What a cool decent person. And a great skater.
Whenever I see a drag queen dressed as a demon I say that’s a decent person
0:58 When he said he was a fairy, I believe it. The way floated on that full cab. He went full twinkle toes on that sh!t.
Razzled and dazzled
Plus he’s a total fairy
He’s a fking great skater damn
Yea a fairy is pretty accurate description, for the old heads lol.
I used to confuse him with Jeff Carlyle from Gx1000, both sick bearded skaters.
Same
Skate sober & stay authentic
Chandler you are not alone! I can relate, I’ve always been and felt different, not in a good way in a very strange kind of way. I commend you for having the guts to show all these sides to who you are as a person and the things you enjoy. ❤ You Fkng Rock the skateboarding Chandler keep chasing your passion and dreams blessings and Love ❤️
Can't believe I used to work with him. He's such a character!
Hes honest as it gets..
Im really surprized by all the positive comments in here..i thought there would be alot of hate etc...😊 cool...
real skaters dont hate on other skaters🤗
Chandler Burton! Not to distract from celebrating Chandler’s utter rippage but the face painting looks so flipping sick! Legend
Flipping? Are you talking to a child? Its a youtube comment section, ur allowed to swear lol
@@jackmitchell2536 unnecessarily critical
@@jackmitchell2536 man said flipping, what's the problem
@@non_brewed_condiment my opinion, im allowed to express myself
@@jackmitchell2536no one said you weren’t allowed to bro
chandler is punk af and a gnarly skater i love him
this was awesome, thanks for highlighting Chandler
I dont care what anyone says this guy shreds. His parts are absolutely cracked.
The most self depricating statement ever , I looked like Axel Rose
I'd argue young Chandler pulled off the long hair bandana look far better than Axel ever did. God, I hate Axel Rose so much.
@@lupo3694 Why do you hate him? He has gone through therapy and apologized for his behavior over the years. He was sexually abused as a child.
Chandler Burton…one of my new favorite people
Big love for this guy
Love Chandler so much, so happy to see him getting the attention he deserves
Chandler is such a chill dude. We met a couple of times yeeeeaaars ago and got fucked up together. So much fun.
I like the skate part , and i don't like stuff like 18:10
Its gay af and disturbing. Clearly something wrong with these people
discovered him 4 years ago in the "brother" video by Jaime Luis, instantly get hooked by his style of skateboarding
🤘
last year at copenhagen open everyone was trynna get in to the last contest and i remember him giving me at pass to get in and everyone rushing to get one but he said ladies first and gave em to some friends
Honestly I think this is disgusting. We should not be promoting this kind of behavior especially with how impressionable the youth is. Dolphin flips will never be acceptable in any situation and they should land you in JAIL for doing them.
Hahahahahaha
he's so gnarly, top 5 fs and really has inspired me to find myself
Did you find your gay self
@@jin8684 i see that you hide your gay self
@@jin8684 my gayteboarding self
this dude can skate.
Life is better with Chandler
💯
real
This is one of the best episodes yet. I'd love to see a BA one, or Yan Horowitz or Marissa Dal Santos
Imagine saying no to things for years because you have to raise a kid and you get a son like this.
Why do I feel like crying goddamit such a good video I wanna hug chandler
Why ? You gay now also ?
@@StuffedBearSus We are all gay here.
Chandler seems like such an incredible individual. i relate so much to a lot of what he said about growing up. im a bi trans guy, but sometimes i wonder if i'm genderfluid, because i enjoy crossdressing and dressing as a man in feminine clothes, but don't like being gendered as she. gender and sexuality becomes so confusing when society forces you to label yourself :')
Super stoked to see this coverage. It’s made being openly gay in skating much easier. Love hearing them share their story overcoming addiction. Sometimes I feel as a gay skater, we are invisible still. Passing is a HUGE PRIVILEGE, but I feel I have to wear a wig, or a crop top, a jock or leather when I skate to have my stuff recognized p. Overall I’m really glad trans, non-binary and lesbian skaters have space and opportunity, we needed that culturally. Let’s keep pushing boundaries and inspiring each other!
This is really inspiring, love it when people are comfortable being themselves in fact I’m jealous of it
That backside flip over the street was so steezy the way he landed and went into switch forward was really cool and smooth looking 👍
I didn't know Chandler was gay. I just thought he was one of the raddest skaters these days. What an awesome person ❤️
what a gem of a human being, such a gnarly skate style too I love it
Stories like this, that really make you feel proud to be a part of the skate community, give me the motivation to try harder things
5:00 The moment you realize that your actions have hurt those you love is a humbling one. It’s when you realize how narcissistic you really are, because you’re a narcissist if you’re an addict. You can hurt and lie to yourself and you might think you’re fooling everyone but sober people know you’re lying immediately. You’re just hurting them more when you blatantly do what you do not caring about anyone or the consequences. Good on ya Chandler for seeing that ❤
I am going to go ahead and call dibs on Auntie Hero as my drag name.
Genius
This generation's BA. Definitely see it in his skating.
I came here to say the same thing. Powerful, yet graceful in his skating.
Both are also really tall lol
So what all 3 of you are saying is that there is some distinct way that gay skaters skate? Despite the fact that Chandler and Brian have a drastically different bag of tricks and spot selection? Wtf?
Fact is that there are countless more gay skaters than 2 and they run the gamut of styles and terrain and abilities.
@@thisanthrope666 i didn't make the original comment, but i get how it comes across to compare the two, but they are both pretty tall and although it may not be a mirror image, i could see their styles being compared regardless of sexuality, so i'm gunna choose to believe OP didn't mean anything malicious by their comment
I had no idea who he was but remembering when he full cabbed over the pier 7 pad with ease I was like damn he can skate
what a legend
i love this guy so much, he's such an inspiration for kids growing up confused about themselves and gender roles. would like to see more of him.
Bro thinks being gaye will get him more fans 😂
Guess not coconuthead
That alley gap off Marathon is no joke. Has anyone done anything over it besides GT?
When I seen the thumbnail I jumped . Thought it was a new age sassy thunder cat
He is so cool….im in awe
I saw the negative reaction on Facebook, this is totally a moment in time where people are salty when someone is just better.
Facebook is a toilet
The thing about skateboarding, is that it goes so well with drugs, because pain and head injuries.
Yeah helmets and padding really needs to be more encouraged
Dumbest statement I’ve ever heard. No one actually takes pain killers for minute pain.
I got a concussion skating over thirty years ago and still feel its effects to this day.
@@jbean9021 You must new here, after several years you will lose your sense of naivete.
@@jbean9021not in the modern age but you used to get prescribed morphine for mild pain back in the 90s

great episode! got to meet and hear part of chandler’s story at slow impact during the sober skaters panel this year. incredible skater, sweet heart of a guy, and looking forward to see what the future holds for him.
Damn i bet that was a good panel to hear speak!
this guy's awesome
I used to cut Chris Coles hair, I love him!
His skating is legit.
That backsideflip by the fountain… OMFG 🤯
This was over before my frozen pizza cooked al the way thru
a damn shame
Chandler is awesome.
Only 19 mins these keep getting shorter and shorter
I have always felt like I’m not supposed to be here. Like this world isn’t mine. My dreams feel more real than reality. I don’t feel like times passed it all feels like I’m not attached to my body or the world. It’s crazy to hear that other people feel this way
That gap under the window unit air conditioner needs to addressed before the summer comes or running it will be all for naught.
The light gloves!!!!bro I was a candy kid my homie ordered some from Europe,dude they were tripped out when Rollin,my homie got so into it ,we'd be at the park or my house we'd get blazeddd,and he'd always ask if I wanted one,brought back my late teens and early 20z what an era
As a 43 yo straight female who has never been a skater I truly enjoyed this & am happy Chandler is helping so many people while being his true self doing what he loves!! ❤
I'm a gay skater and wish i had a Chandler to look up to back in the 90s early 2000s when it was taboo. So glad the movement n to acceptance is growing. Chandler rips!
look up to God not the devil and his ppl.. you'll bow to him either way one day
@@user-yv8cb2xb7k hail Satan! 🤘
Brain Anderson and Elissa have been around for decades …
Who cares about gay skaters
As another gay guy who grew up around skateboarding, I'm so glad this was made. I didn't even know about There or this group. Granted, I don't like in California, and I never got good at it so I mostly just longboat now. But it's cool to see there being more representation in the scene.
Luv u chandler 💖💖💖
There is like, a lot of likes per sentence in this, like totally awesome, like video.
Chandlers the best i love Chandler
“If ya gay, just be gay. Stop fuckin lyin to me” dude rips.
Awesome chandler. This was a joy to watch. Wish you all the best
WTF. DRAG and pro SKATER. He's a LEGEND !
Hes good, skating needs people like him
Druggies?
Junkies?
groomers?
Burgers?
@@xlyamx grow up
Best episode in a while.
Just skate. Damn
Dude pulling ballroom dance move was sick🎉
SMH Vice using my footage and not crediting me for it
7:11 Grosso: "Hello, hihihihihihi..."
I don't skate or watch any other skate content, but this series is absolutely superb! Love to all LGBTQ+ skaters around the world!
Full force support and love for your brother! That’s hella cool! I’m totally showing my Tran sister this video! I love skating!
I’m so glad chandler wasn’t born 20 years earlier. He is living his best life in the best era to be YOURSELF. LIVE IT BROTHA!!!
Gross!
@@HUNTERS_CRACKPIPEI like knowing that you wouldn’t say this to his face. You definitely don’t have the kinda balls it takes to do anything but make anonymous comments.
Who cares what this person does?
"Imitation is suicide"- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Opening reminds me of Joker
True but look at the bright side ? He could have chosen the Penguin ? :>P
The look his mother gave him 451, oof I know that look. The pain in their eyes, it's awful. One of the things that helped me to get sober as well. And I hope I never forget that look. " Those who forget their past are doomed to repeat it."
I've never understood the hate anyway. 80's hairbands dressed like women, and they had all the women dying iver them and they were just fine with men dressing in whatever. Its fckn clothes and make up that makes people feel good about themselves. Thats it. Look at a pic of George Washington in his wig and makeup...
Chandler is definitely one of the gnarliest skaters in a while. Always looks like their applying 150% into every trick 🔥
What a pervo
I saw him for the first time on the CZcams League Skateboarding, or whatever it's called, that Gifted Hater put on. I thought he was just a homie, then he did a huge backside flip ally-oop over this skatepark gap*. I looked him up and realized he was REALLY good. I saw some stuff with the geisha makeup, but actually thought it looked rad.
All this to say, I came to see him as just a gnarly skater and didn't even know he was gay. So his hopes of being known bc of his skating and not his sexual orientation worked; at least for me. He seems like an artistic, friendly, rad guy!
*Edit: BS flip over a gap AT a skatepark, not an entire skatepark 😅
I love this so much
Skateboarders are the new rollerbladers 😂
So sad, same thing with punks and metal heads, they’re all total wimps
