TPM Episode 07: Chris Haffey, Professional Rollerblader, Nitro Circus

Chris Haffey is part athlete, part stuntman, part survivor. He's a professional rollerblader who started getting recognition for his skating when the industry was at its peak and became one of the top skaters in the world as the bottom was dropping out. While his peers were leaving the sport to find other ways to support themselves, Chris landed on the Nitro Circus, touring arenas across the globe with a motley crew of bad-asses.
