1031 Skateboards issued a press release earlier today announcing that Chad Knight has retired from professional skateboarding. I hope you know who Chad is. if not, watch the video below and get stoked. Chad grew up in Westerville, moved to San Diego when he graduated and went pro shortly after. Over the years Chad has had numerous board sponsors, H-street, Evol, Maple and 1031 most notably. In the mid to late nineties he was one of the first to have a pro shoe on Osiris. (back then Osiris was HUGE) In the early 2000's he spiral fractured his fibula in what should have been a career ending injury. It took a couple years for him to recover and unfortunately he faded a bit from the spotlight. However he came back and has put out some great footage over the last few years.
The first couple minutes of the video below is almost all from Columbus, Gahanna, Westerville, OSU, downtown and from the old Sunsports Skatepark. Best of luck in the future Chad!
