Skateboarder Josh Kalis 1 of 7 - Epicly Later'd - VICE

[@VENGEFULHEXX]

You can tell that Josh is still in disbelief and awe of Sheffey to this day. So dope.

[@michaeljohn8905]

We all Fanned on him. Sheff was our dude. He repped NYC for us when we couldn’t. Love to. SHEFF and King Kalis.

[@ryanjavierortega8513]

Kalis is a legend and it’s crazy that he wasn’t fished over by these dudes lucky enough to chat with him.

[@FelixAshleyLamb]

i met Jason Dill about 2 years ago at a signing in Auckland, New Zealand and i have to say he was such a cool dude, he was chilling with all the kids and signing auto graphs even though he didnt have to because he wasnt ment to be in the signing.

[@TenThumbsProductions]

Josh is grounded this entire episode.

[@teetoys76]

Lol !!! You’re right .

[@Atraa]

Was thinking that

[@Seamo57]

Still can tell how he views Sean. He was one of the dopest dudes for awhile when I was younger

[@barrierislandaquatics5028]

Isn’t dill technically “up river now” ?

[@causeseffects6573]

josh “i was grounded” kalis

[@zacharyangulo9456]

Too funny 🎯🤣🤣🤣

[@seeemsee]

Ha! He totally said that a bunch of times!

[@kooskoos8181]

That's so cool they went to go get him to skate. When an older guy does that it's a moment that kid will never forget, respect!

[@bigg_skippa]

"I always played it cool"......."Damn! You remembered that shit!"

[@theexpert758]

Ive watched this same series for years now. Kalis is my favorite skater.

[@TenThumbsProductions]

Kalis would pull up at the skate zoo in Kalamazoo every now and then, he had that effect on us that Sheffy had on him.

[@Thrashman-ye4cf]

Now he pulls up at the Grand Rapids park everyday lol. Always repping Michigan. Glad he’s back.

[@VENGEFULHEXX]

As he should. Dude is a skateboarding legend of the highest tier.

[@Fakieslappy]

The level of stokage that Kalis had when sheffy remembered knocking on his door is hilarious

[@dieselsour]

Guy was on MTV hanging out with Ozzie's kids when they were teens talkin about kalis being up river lol

[@drinkingpoolwater]

so true lol. dill was at a bad point during this era.

[@Docman9]

I respect Dill. But Damn he's always loved the sound of his own voice. And he's a nut job haha

[@djdz8322]

dill showed up at a skate shop in my city like 15 years ago with pictures of himself, a fat ass stack of pictures. hundreds. walked in, went to the counter, signed all of the pictures, walked out. not a word spoken. just left the stack of photos there. I grabbed on its still on the wall in my old room at my parents house

[@Beasaones]

+DjDz wow

[@lsclsc9960]

Dill is more legit than dyrdek Berra kalis and Taylor.. How tf is Taylor famous. Dude can't skate for shit anymore hence his shitty company Sovrn

[@Thrashman-ye4cf]

“They’re up river...ya know where TVs are, the fishings better” sounded so pretentious lol

Josh Kalis repping Grand Rapids Michigan!

[@kamp8495]

This dude showed up at the local park in GR and hooked everyone up with gear!

[@tristanchrispell8603]

this makes me proud to live in michigan. i live a while away from grand rapids though

[@boyerbyr]

I skated with Kali's and Mike the photographer in east Lansing Michigan. Sheffey was at a demo too. Had a pretty good scene there back in the day. Tony hawk and the bones brigade at the skateathon. I won a Ron Allen deck at a demo and he signed it.

[@jockejunetoft9267]

Still has one of the best looking 360 flips to this day

[@shmeltedface]

kalis' segment was boss. one of my favorites

[@icebergbart216]

I saw Sean Sheffy, Ron Young and Tony Hawk do a demo in '92 at Ohio Surf & Skate

[@eleanorfleming8137]

watched this like 15 times before remembering to thumbs up. favourite later'd ep.

[@DaleBonehart]

Dill calling kalis up river is fucking laugh out loud funny considering how FA is doing right now

[@SkribbleMonster]

I remember seeing josh kalis is 411 video's and always wanting to see more, I remember seeing less of Dill and not being interested in Jason Dill, right now, I have an autographed poster of Jason Dill on my wall... WtF... I think Caswell Berry gave it to me when he worked at a skate shop called Go Skate in SJ

[@chads3808]

WiFi and TV's? So basically all the Holiday inns are "Up River"

[@benferrari2844]

Michigan represent!

[@audibleyawnswell6368]

not a great idea to get offended by the term up-river and then immediately using footage of you growing up in a normal looking suburban neighborhood

[@PONYBOYonline]

You don’t understand what that term means...it’s not about having a good upbringing...it’s about where they stood within the company. Dill was saying that certain skaters had a more privileged roll and got the most benefits within the company while others got fed scraps. Which is dumb, because there was a big period when dill wasn’t doing shit while Kalis was out busting his ass skating.

[@boujiatexas1870]

Bring this to viceland

Holy shit I used to have Lennie Kirk's board, back when the Workshop was super new. I forgot about him.

[@mtman22984]

from gr those pics in the books are on alpine on a curb next to target the brick gap is not there n e more ................ i watched him skate a monster gap from kmart to alpine theater in the mid 90s

[@NickPfbs]

no... jason dill said that after kalis joined DGK

[@chronicwhisper]

ya i agree i like the more creative skating with a hesh style, but a smooth tech style with steeze is cool too

[@oXGenesisXo]

Back blunt to switch front board? Not many people are doing that today, josh is rad as fuck.

[@fartinmartin5]

[@Gson123456]

best tre flip ever at the end

[@demiusza]

Honestly, Josh Kalis seems like a bit of a stereotype to me - the middle-class white kid acting like he grew up in the hood. He seems like a great guy, but the hustler routine is a little tired.

[@calebhogue2619]

Lol bro Kalis has never claimed to be hood or a gangsta he’s street he grew up in the streets skating

[@devinkhoury4490]

@@calebhogue2619 he didnt grow up in the streets man, he got grounded like every week for being a dumbass

Heh, the same Vision Ken Park deck that was my first real skateboard. :) I had it as grey though. Beautiful board art on that one.

[@benmccorquodale]

Kalis has dope style.

[@AlwaysBeSmart674]

Lol he looks like deadmau5....so awesome this dude decided to make all these Epicly later'd ..there nothing else like these on the internet

[@Deejaynext]

sure it's not just ads trying to load? in the last month YT has *really* slowed down big time for me as well but as far as i can tell it's due to increased inline adserving combined with the fact that i'm blocking that.

[@Diabetesmonster]

my dad grounded for me from my roller skates for the win

[@gonzo13ist]

That board he rides is so small!

[@themoose7402]

Kalis, a very strong traditional klingon name

[@lsclsc9960]

Gayest fckng names ever

[@dairylandbogurt]

Haha yeah that'd be sweet, I do tend to favour the hesh skaters. It just gets me psyched to see guys like sammy baca or andrew allen rippin' mach 10 at a ledge or a set or something.

[@00000Carlson00000]

i had that Ken Park board but it was green.

[@Thrashman-ye4cf]

7:57 those wheels 😂

[@DanielSmith-br1zi]

Its easy to be skeptical of somebody who looks and speaks a certain way and is white, but you also don't know what the man has gone through, regardless of the early footage of a normal looking suburb. Being street is different than being hood and has more to do with struggling and surviving than it does with being from some crazy ghetto. Philadelphia is pretty rough no matter where you go and the majority of the white neighborhoods have their share of problems.

[@blaisekerle]

Epicly latered sean sheffey !

[@dairylandbogurt]

Fair enough, I guess I can just relate to dills skating more. I think he does seem like kind of a pompous naive dude though. Josh seems more down to earth in some ways though. Not stressing fashion and shit so hard.

[@jakegetscake4672]

I love dill and kalis don’t see why dill had to go and hate on him

[@johnkoty7531]

Dill is so pretentious. Josh was always in his own lane, never needed a trend or a gimmick. Thankfully this isn't as sickened disrespectful as I thought it was 12 years ago lmao.

[@toynazi]

***** Uh yea he really is.

[@holdenpaschal6225]

Kalis and all his homies don't think it's goofy. It's part of their culture. Your environment is a huge factor in your identity. Everyone from that crew probably thinks your lame. Except they CAN skate.. What can you do?

[@holdenpaschal6225]

Kalis is your stereotypical skinny white boy middle class suburban wanna be gangster. Which is a pity because he is such a good skater.

It’s cringeworthy, he’s trying so hard to be something different from himself and it’s super obvious. He does rip though there’s no doubt about that.
