Chris Miller Talks Life After Pro Skating With Chrome Ball
So what’s going on with you these days, Chris? Anything in the works? Skated the new Combi?
You know what? I have not skated the new Combi. Honestly, I’ve heard mixed reviews.
I’m living in Ojai now. I moved up north because I wanted to get into a more mellow environment. I have a creative agency called MODV Group and I do design work and brand consulting through that. And I’m a cofounder of a clothing brand called Vuori Clothing. I don’t work there day-to-day or anything, but I’m involved with that and a few other projects. I just work from home now on different things.
Skating-wise, I still love skateboarding but I’m happy to be skating more recreationally and infrequently now. I’m just not trying to skate at a personal high level anymore. I mean, I still want to skate and feel good about it. I’ll do some ollies at the park and float around a bit. But I’m not trying to put together a contest run and go for the gold anymore.
That stuff was cool, but I think I’m probably done with it.
Head over to Chrome Ball Incident to read the entire piece.
