Chris Haslam (born December 19, 1980)[1] is a Canadian professional skateboarder[2] whose natural stance is right foot forward, or 'Goofy'.

Haslam explained in an interview: "I think they couldn’t give the trophy out to two dudes though, so I guess they put me in fourth place, so I ended up with that.

One was the rocker dude, who was all white, with pink and blue and had spandex pants on and Van Halen tee ... Then there was another one—the Grizzly Haslam.

Once it opened in October 1998, Chris spent a lot of time honing his many skills at the Richmond skatepark, just outside Vancouver near the airport, YVR.

It only took Chris a couple of years to gain global respect and achieve a legitimate career; his stunning and technical skating at Vancouver's Slam City Jam (SCJ) contests won him the Best Trick at least once, with a one-footed BS Smith grind down a rail in 2001.

This was followed in 2006 by the video Cheese and Crackers, in which Haslam and Song showcase their miniramp skills in an abandoned Long Beach, US, warehouse that was formerly a methamphetamine laboratory.

[16] While on a 2008 Almost tour in Tasmania, Australia, Haslam was featured in an article in the Sunday Tasmanian newspaper, under the headline, "World's Most Unlikely Hero".

[18][19] Since being sponsored by Bones, Haslam's signature wheels have featured a comic-style caveman design,[20] a chainsaw,[21] and a "lagoon monster".

Can't really put 16 years of thank you's into a measly IG post but....thanks for all the sweet adventures over the years friends✌🏻✌🏻here's to new beginnings″ [30] Haslam revealed the skateboard hardware that he utilizes in a December 2012 interview: In July 2012, Haslam released an online video commercial for Leftover Hardware, a company that his close friend founded.

[32] Haslam revealed in a December 2012 segment for Alli Sports that he has co-founded a griptape brand with a close friend, entitled "Gypsy Grip".

[33] Haslam started a deck company named 'Brainchild' in 2019, which donates part of the proceeds from board and shirt sales to Project Semicolon, and the Ben Raemers foundation to help with mental health and suicide prevention.

[36] Song has stated in a voiceover for a "Classics" segment, produced by Thrasher magazine, in which Haslam's footage from the Cheese and Crackers mini-ramp video is featured: Chris is definitely one of the craziest mini-ramp skaters; I mean, one of the craziest skaters, is just as well ... Chris, always has just been, you know, skatin' with him all the time, just sometimes can't believe the things that he does.

Professional skateboarder Jose Rojo revealed in an online interview that, as of July 2012, he is a member of a band that includes Haslam.
