[@DSTREETMEDIA]

Health is Wealth 💯💪✊ 🛹

[@mauricioolivarria3650]

Me for sure, I just don’t see myself doing anything else. I’m 44.

[@AlexNiedt]

37 now, and I'll be extremely psyched if I can keep it going another 13 years

[@reza_dc2]

right here , took a 22 year break and started back up when covid started.. missed it , love it , too much fun.. 44 right now.

[@winstonmontag8824]

I skated with Kris in the 80's and I'll still bomb hills at 48

[@OG-PranksterCat]

The "One Step Beyond" Markovich part was a huge inspiration for me during my skating days, I would watch that part on repeat and then hit the park and local spots, so glad he is doing well and hopped on the board again 👍

[@toms_tutorials]

What an absolute legend. BS 270 noseblunt was nuts!

[@emilebeckerseb]

Yeah this dude does not move like a 50 year old.

[@Yungbeck]

Right?? Looking like Guy out here

[@mariogoesinsane]

Back in the day he was one of my favorite skaters. I'm glad to see him back 😭😭😭, now that I'm 35 and I have my board just sitting there I feel like going back to it

[@berrics]

Find the nearest mini ramp. You won't regret it.

[@venanciofilhoyoga]

@@berrics Im doing it this week at 42 years old. Board sitting here for too long.

[@S-to-the-C-to-the-S]

Do it bro! I am 35 and have skated 4-5 days a week for the past 4 years and havent slowed down even a little. 35 is still young, I outlast kids half my age on the reg while skateing twice as hard.

[@internetvide0]

I don't want to slam anymore. I'm over it lmfao.

[@scottmcmanus8158]

Learn to fall. Roll into it. Stop making excuses.

[@coxchandler1]

One of my first skate videos was a VHS trick tips video w/ Markovich and Tony Hawk and I remember learning how to kickflip from this guy. I remember thinking "Woah his kickflips look amazing. I hope I can eventually learn it." I'm 32 years old now and still haven't forgotten how to do them :)

[@Jordan-y1v]

Stoked to see this guy skating again. He skated like no else in the early 90s tech explosion. Big fast tech with the radddest push. Underrated pioneer of modern street skating.

[@LoreExplore369]

BRUH this made my day! Kris and Reynolds were HUGE inspirations for me! I love seeing the older kats getting down! WE LOVE TO SEE IT!!!!!

[@mcoupe69]

He still hauling ass

[@Sirpaco666]

Markovich has always been one of my faves. Always skated w/ such speed and aggression. His Art Bars part is still insane

[@FederalEmployee]

We all have always Loved dudes skating, murals, everything. Fuckin LEGEND

[@matthewbrandon267]

As an older head( late thirtys) this gives me so much motivation!!! Fuckin legend

[@suburbia8831]

Bro skateboarding is the Fountain of youth! 🙌🏽

[@DaytonJoey]

I’m 42 coming off a dislocated toe injury and Kris keeps me motivated!!! Bros sick!!!

[@donnytucker]

OG! I remember skating after school back in 93 and telling my friends my style was like Kris's and they laughed like yeah right lol. It's rad that he now lives by me in st pete. I'm 45 and still skating so get out and keep shredding!

[@louperna9336]

Hell yeah! Markovich has always been one of my favorites since I started skating, art bars was one of the first videos I remember ever watching. Way to go Kris!

[@geezuschrist2734]

I still cant find that particuar song (version) that plays in his part

[@JoeMaxFpv]

Dudes a legend. I’m 45 watched his whole career. He used to go so big. 🤟

[@tyland777]

One of my favourite skaters in the 90's. So happy to see him again

[@mcoupe69]

I was just watching art bars the other day! His part with Berlin’s live version of metro was always one of my favorites 🙅‍♂️

[@jordanb5761]

thanks for sharing, i've been wondering if I'm done and I'm only 41, haven't skated much for a couple years but I think this is motivating me to get out and enjoy it for as long as I can

[@dirtboy896]

So stoked to see this. Been a huge markovich fab since Adios one step beyond

[@ckguadg]

inspirational & motivational at the same time! thanks a lot for this Berrics!

[@markdanko2698]

Really enjoyed learning some more history about and from my new friend in the neighborhood. Great guy and family, nothing but respect for Kris the more I learn.

[@drthkdus2504]

He was always one of my favorite skaters to watch growing up. He had a unique style. He would skate with SO MUCH SPEED. I'd enjoyed the way he would kick push hard on the board.

[@cappy_skateboarding7920]

Love seeing this! As a older skater at 44 coming back after a decade off the board this is so inspiring.

[@a.julian3770]

He had one of my favorite parts in Adio's One Step Beyond Glad to see he still rips

[@zacktheripper89]

Psyched on this man!! Markovich was always one of my favourites! Love to hear that dudes that have done it all still get juiced riding a board 😁🤟🏼

[@alx_jaz]

95´ Kris was my favorite Pro_keep rocking mate!!!🤙

[@lambo485]

Still one of my favs to watch, till this day. He deserves to be in a skate game. Thx kris

[@HookedOnFonik]

This is super encouraging and motivating.

[@random__joe]

Been seeing a bunch of clips of Kris on Team Payne Skatepark facebook clips. Great to see Kris is doing good!! So many fond memories of him

[@elenexbrand]

dude has been killing for years!!! hyped to see him still going hard with everything he does!

[@matttate3216]

One of my top 10 all time favorites. Been skating since 98'. Green skull foundation board, favorite board ever. So stoked to see this🤙

[@jonroche2359]

That era of baggy pants/small wheels there were three skaters that really pushed it.. Speyer, Cardiel & Markovich..

[@sweatygriptape628]

Watching things like this gives me fuel to keep pushing, even at 37.

[@130world1]

So rad, Skated with Chris in Atlanta, Ga and it was super fun!

[@kevinalamo4250]

Really rad story. Came up on those Foundation dudes. Always happy to see someone living well

[@roroswonderfulhorriblelife6683]

its a blessing i get to call this man a friend

[@mapnerd8460]

much love to kris markovich, loved his old video parts!

[@carlmarshall40]

That's awesome, glad too see you skating again, I'm 50 in September, and struggling abit I must admit. I need to find that energy.

[@andrewperkins185]

Inspirational 🌟 I grew up 100% skating, haven't in in almost 10 years, have been considering picking my board back up & I'll be turning 40 this year 💫

[@jordimatamoros4828]

Great to see you again dude!!! 👍

[@twista101287]

A living legend, nice to hear from you again 👌🤜🔥👑🛹

[@shineperishingrepublic]

I love seeing people healthy and happy.

[@BrandonHanson]

Whenever this skater comes to mind, it's the Kickflip down Carlsbad Gap. Nothing like getting on the cover of Transworld when he did it. 👏👊🛹

[@ToniLovesSkateboarding]

Yes, Kris! Freaking Legend and inspiration. One of my Fav skaters since the Color video!

[@turtleboypurp]

dude is a g. Love seeing all of his art all around San Diego too.

[@komoonkh]

The OG speed demon ( before Busenitz took the crown) still skates gnarly and is a strong man, so he can skate till he can walk. There is no discussion about that. Alcohol can make you sore, but if you dont stop skateboarding, you can continue as long as you want. Kris is sick and his part with Mean man song in it was the first part that got me pumped. Super sick!

[@markwarne5049]

50 years old now from 1990 wat a legend hes still ripping i remember him ova the years the color video etc

[@davidgorman1182]

Grew up on this dude’s skating. He’s also a great artist- total legend

[@cluurinsebyrum6317]

The nicest dude n the way he brings the local skaters on south Florida together not just on board but on to canvas Amazing The skateboarding 🛹 The art 🎨 The vibe Too legit to quit

[@juhanisalo]

Union Right to Skate part was the introduction to Markovich for me, knew his name from G&S times (Heinz-o-vich board) but it was first time seeing him skate on video. Made me a fan instantly, he was like Frankie Hill in late 80’s, going bigger and faster than anyone else at the time. Glad to see him still ripping and finding his love for skating again!

[@ryanrowe1975]

Kris Marovich has a great skater of the 1990s back in the past to improving on skateboarding and reaching out his own sponsorship of enough consistency and focusing on his skateboard!

[@destructionman1]

Huh?

[@eoinmurphy7764]

Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like?

You are so great Kris... HI FROM CHILE, I saw you in TV. since you were on FOX Channel with the PIVIT band song behind "one minute more"

[@dariusnaderi2128]

Been a huge fan of this dude since the A1 Meats necklace in the mouth days. This is so incredible to see. Hope to see a video part soon

[@schwinnbike18]

Class skater, one of my favourites, I have the 101 MarkovicA decks 🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Jprice87]

The first skate video I ever got was 411vm #44 which had a section of Kris in it.. crazy to see him now after 21 years..

[@oxclan3149]

Love kris I learned tre flip watching his 411 profiles segment. I was 12 at the time

[@DanieleGalli79]

huge motivation ❤

[@donjohnson3888]

Met Markovich at an Adio demo when I was 11 just a couple hours after being released from the hospital after ripping my finger off. He asked me what happened to my hand and I was still so drugged up I cant really recall exactly what I said, but he and Danny Montoya instantly ran to the back and grabbed me two decks: a shop board that the whole team signed and a Hollywood board with a get-well message from Kris. Still got them all framed and everything on my office wall 21 years later.

[@nate2skate265]

Kris, you look amazing. The Union video, Color video your parts were always the best

[@jaankungrockman1633]

More power , more speed He's Legend ❤️

KM’s part in Union Wheels ‘right to skate’ was ultra savage…it’s what modern skateboarding became.

[@SAA_All_Day]

Absolute Hero

[@DCSk8er529]

He was definitely the first ever Pro Skater I met. I was 13 when it happened, and was like a kid in a candy store.

[@MrEDMeaner]

Tony Hawk Skatepark Tour memories right here!

[@powerboon2k]

Most skaters nowadays don't know about Kris. A proper OG pro.

[@bobripkey3924]

Almost 50? Dude’s skating like he’s in his mid-to-late 30’s. Damn!
