Kris Markovich Day In The Life

Kris Markovich Day In The Life. Filmed by Chris Theissen.

[@rubenandrade7648]

I used to skate with him back in the early 2000's, I actually sold him a couple of those guitars. He's an amazing skater, and the nicest guy. I hope for nothing but the best for him in whatever he does in life.

[@DCSk8er529]

I was 13 when I met this guy. He was the first professional skateboarder I ever met. It was fun skating with him. He's an awesome dude.

[@AndySo2000]

I used to see Kris do demos at a park in Peoria Illinois in the early 90's. That guy skates so fast and I always got stoked to skate after watching him skate. The guy kills it everytime, super stylin! Very inspirational back then!

[@Dawood-Mushlam]

I saw him at a few demos in Rockford at Rotation Station. Dude is a legend. Nobody skated faster or went as big as he did.

[@ronthunders6124]

He’s soo humble and cool and just a talented person. Art wise, and skateboarding.

[@xavierrivera9130]

One of my favorite skaters back in the day loved his style

[@euminkong]

My dad liked him and didnt know why Kenny Anderson won the contest.

[@SamBass]

This is awesome for ATLiens. I'm going to go skate today due to this vid!

[@Calijayok]

Kris Markovich has EARNED a respectable nod in sk8 history. Most pro's are forgotten over time... whatever politics aside, his SKILL is what/ will/should be remembered from his era. Respect! What the fuck have you haters done in skateboarding?...

[@geoffreydaymond851]

fast as and cool as, love the art. what a lord. grommies will never know how rad the 80's and 90's were. Let them hate cause we were the lucky ones.

[@infinidominion]

He's had more success in each year of the 90's than I've had the entire time since.

[@summerdaez]

kris is my fave skater ever , loved his section in the union vid ,hes always been the best all round skater , best style and hella f*&k gnarl (and a pretty damn cool artist too)

[@anthonyvillanueva7348]

Markovich...Let This be Stated..I've Falled Yo Since 95.....You made me!!!!!..ME.. Sick!!!!I only Keep Sick Bordes in my Collection.....Yours and Jamie Thomas

[@andersmalling]

One of the coolest skaters out there!

[@SkoldierNathan]

I respect him simply because he gave boards to people fighting for our rights. I would be glad to support everything Kris does.

[@castillo138928]

Awesome down to earth guy.

[@robertblackmore703]

Love this dude. Nothing fake here.

[@Jakeypooo]

Super cool dude, came to our small town to hang out with me and my friends group of skaters in our teen years roughly 10 years ago. He had a broke ankle at the time still shredded landed a backside flip fakie smith grind if thats what it would even be called lol @ mountain high skatepark in hayesville, nc. Those were the days.

[@goodr34]

im skating a given right now, its stronger than my plan b go kris!

[@chetrok1]

Madd props to Kris for mailing boards ect.to soldiers in Iraq..wish I had time to sk8 there

[@crbanfell]

Markovich fans! I work for Woodcraft Rangers, a non-profit helping out kids in LA. We will have an online auction selling Project Canvas shoes painted by Kris Markovich. Check out some of his art on the Project Canvas website. The auction will be held on the Charity Buzz website.

[@antoniogusman3]

What song is playing at the beginning?

[@NickPearsonMD]

wow, that painting was really good. im pretty sure one of the shops near me carries given stuff. he's friends with the owner

[@caseyn4573]

The coolest pro alive no doubt

[@GetHappy25]

I live in GA and actually met this guy at one of our local skateparks. I was wondering what brought him to Georgia. It was surreal meeting him because this was this pro skater that I was exposed to and thought was gnarly at 12. I didnt meet him in person until I was like 23-24. I was a semi adult meeting an adult...just a normal guy. I wish I had spoken more to him but I didnt want to bother him really. I agree with him totally regarding California. Cali is way over-rated as a place to be.

[@antoniogusman3]

Who plays the song?

[@halloweenwaffle]

wow my last name that's pretty cool i love California though the street skate vibe you get is so much better there than anywhere else

[@eatme1720]

I got to see him skate the Langley and Myrtle Grove YMCA's in Pensacola before he was pro. Good times. Edit: Anyone remember Color Skateboards?

[@ixw820]

i live in georgia. i need to go down to atlanta and skate asap cuz i live in a horrible area for skating

[@RHIE35H]

Yep!

[@johnrodrigues152]

tracklist songs please?!

[@iiilililili]

I remember my first crimson board good times

[@uchoosajosh9473]

Those were good days to be a proud

[@bookreaderson]

Whiskey! My 90s . The real

[@jimdavis6519]

Cool car

[@thepupils209]

How many teams has kris quit? How many of his company's went to shit?

[@kickasskevkev]

I love Given boards.

[@rapidsrule]

Fuck that was a sick graphic. rock on kris!

[@Snarles2003]

Given is such a good name

[@FuckJeremyOF]

Same here

[@m.clayton79]

Lived in both places. Skateboarding in the cold or in the rain sucks.

[@eVerProductions1]

it so true, in the south is way better to skate than california, i use to live in NC now i live in CA and in NC you have so many safe spots, and theres all ways a time in the week to skate and somewhere to skate and something to skate, here in cali so many spots you get kicked out

[@geowar09]

Is that Aaron smith who shooting photo's? It looks like him

[@Smoketastic7]

Regardless of what happened with Crimson im still a huge fan if those grabs Kris is the truth....

[@junkypunker]

and before i get trashed, im not trashing him, still like him, i mean i watched the vid but if you know his stuff you know hes like a wild guy similar to mike v, just a hardcore brutal style. seems to have gotten a lot more...cant even think of the word but you get it

[@yeaitsmemikec.2018]

what if Jeremy wray had got the cover of thrasher kickflip down Carlsbad high gap ?...whos woulda been better ? :)

[@robertarrol1084]

Your fukn rad asf kris

[@skatechatham]

That street gap was insane

[@crislamont4174]

Been to Atlanta and the south, live in socal. The south is fucking horrendous.

[@InjuryDrums34]

The oft spoken words of an overly defensive californian who has a predetermined opinion of the south before the first experience. Driving though does not count as "been to the south." the same way driving through california does not count as "been to california." You experienced the traffic. Not the skate spots, not the people, not the food, not the weather. If you only drove through PB in San Diego you'd think it was just a fucking filthy tourist trap (which it is) but you would not have any real idea of what its like to live there (in a fucking filthy tourist trap) So don't reflect whatever reason you hate kris onto the south.

[@Alexgnarlyguy]

Your a good arttis

[@130world1]

Rare footage

[@fleewithin]

Sick ink.

[@DrewTerry]

a bit deeper in Guntersville :P

[@bsly6]

Holy shit dis dude was in athens man I live there can't belev dis shit

[@halloweenwaffle]

that you can go anywhere and no one will find you and that there's a spot around every corner

[@Painless1992]

It's sad Given didn't work out. I mean it was 100% core company. Kris did the artwork himself which I really liked. Even Nate Jones joined the team. It would have been great. Just he and his wife working for it. Skating and doing all the work by himself. Bummed that skate community didn't evaluate and appreciate it enough to support the company so that they could provide themselves and maintain their existence in long term. Fuck, skate community doesn't support skater owned and run companies enough at all. But I guess the divorce had to do with it as well.

[@coconutlarry]

I just ordered a given deck last night...?

[@anotherfggt5839]

I had a feeling his life was a mess after this video. Why would we support a washed up skateboarder like Kris when there's pros killing it harder than he ever did.

[@crazycarlsadventures5983]

People kinda stopped paying attention after Hollywood and crimson .. it was just like every few years he would start a new brand ... most kids don’t wanna invest in supporting a company when it could be gone Tommorrow .... kris is the the man though ...I remember 88 footwear

[@soldierboyz22]

Uncle Hobo!!!

[@nyhsen]

no hes takin the train to greece

[@blakejc131313]

doing your own thing is the opposite to being washed up

[@RHIE35H]

Man i love krs but i hate the south iam from philly and lived in ca 4 10 years and i love best palce ever sk8 heven...Ps i live in tampa and hate it iam back 2 sd asap.

[@falleinloveshoes7]

At least he made a great career off of it and is still striving by working in the industry, while you're here making comments on KZbin. What have you contributed to skateboarding?

[@hondalover338]

california is way better than alabama where i live there is no skateparks and no spots or gaps its hard to get good

[@pigrant]

more adverts than ever on youtube.also ads you cant skip thru.not new i know.now tho when you have to refresh sometimes they put another one in.its almost not worth bothering anymore.how fuckingSHIT.big up markovitch he is rad.

[@ProperPiff]

He's 40 today. People just grow up.

[@junkypunker]

seems like he lost his old style, he used to be one of the hardest wildest skaters

[@vtectilligetmoney]

damn seeing this dude last on art bars and seeing him now it's pretty sad. i always wondered what happened to this dude. this video is pretty depressing and sad on how things went for this dude from an outside perspective, but he seems happy doing his own thing so i guess that's all that matters. his art is pretty sick and his skating; still rips.

[@jockomofeenanay3007]

and 2 years later...Given WHO?

[@drake.eric_]

Is he talking about athens in Alabama?

[@deweytucker5413]

Athens Ga. Home of the University of Georgia

[@benaberry]

People dont grow UP! That happens at puberty. Peoples priorities change.

[@SupremeKilroy]

Man everything this guy does fails lol 88 footwear, crimson, given...shoulda just stayed on foundation running your own company is a bitch.

[@Doomreb]

im wondering if thats why he's looking bad off now. like from the 9s to this video he's been the same chill dude but now he's looking he's serious shit. doesn't look or act the same. he could be better now though idk

[@hexRQP]

I woulda went to the goth fest

[@Stefan.X.]

dead moon!

[@viehlee]

Please some oil through the door

[@Jeremya74]

Someone likes fisheye...like alot

[@MrLongduckdoong]

Yo Homie, invest in a $99 GPS for your whips! Stop gettin lost!

[@MdSpSkaTinG]

what a ripper so sick

[@facelessdutchebag]

still living off the skate rep he had in like '92 or something, all this old guys love him. he sucks, his skating sucks, his companies all sucked and died, his art is seriously attrocious.

[@anotherfggt5839]

All of his companies have failed, he's a horrible businessman and washed up skateboarder.

[@adamhubler4761]

California sucks really. Great place to visit for 24 hours max.
