How Chris Chann Gave Danny Duncan His Big Break
Рет қаралды 181,393
Күн бұрынIn this episode, we interview Chris Chann, OG KZfaqr and Danny’s best friend. Chris has been making videos on KZfaq since 2009 and made a name for himself in the skate community with his win at Battle of the Berrics in 2014 as well as viral videos such as “Returning A Pencil 15 Years Later” and many others. Chris helped Danny immensely early in his career by putting him in his videos and then eventually buying him a car so he could stay out in LA. Years later, Danny returned the favor and bought Chris a Tesla redeeming the “IOU” voucher he made when Chris bought him his car. Now, Chris is making videos while traveling the world and is still involved in the skating community.
