We’ve just received news that half English, half French ripper Chris Cunningham has been signed by Atila, the French distributor responsible for Bataleon boards, Celsius boots and Grenade Gloves amongst others. This is some excellent news for Chris, who’s been making waves recently thanks to a series of seriously impressive shots taken on gnarly-looking rails.

Chris, who we’re claiming as English, will now be representing Bataleon Boards, Grenade Outerwear, Union Bindings, Celsius Footwear and Skullcandy headphones, as well as his existing sponsors Eeroone films and Street Art. Julien ‘L’arrogs’ Haricot, the French pro who represents Atila, said: “Chris is the new up and coming kid to watch, you can check out his impressive video part in Eroone Films latest production Sick’Em Up. For the upcoming season Chris will be focusing on shooting and filming in Europe and North America, shredding the urban world to bits. We are super stoked to have Chris in the family! It’s gonna be nice and it’s gonna be wild…”
