Sponsor hopping 'til eternity...

This was posted today by the owner, and I think Markovich isn't really living a 'sober lifestyle'.

Markovich is the worst best skater.

it's been 30 yrs, why not do it again?

Thought after he was given, he was taken?

ChiefSQueff · « **Reply #8 on:** July 19, 2018, 06:22:30 PM »

Is he on Herion the drug? Serious question. He seems super fucked up. Maybe from years of getting cheated on by his flow riders did it to him. I used to watch his Color part religiously. Now he seems fucked up. Sad days

Deepern0ah · « **Reply #9 on:** July 19, 2018, 07:03:34 PM »

two things after rewatching that part. front board shuvs are under utilized, which is probably why I like them. and that part got me way more hyped than any current vid has in a long time.

Underrated comment

Does Markovich still look like one of the long lost Hardy Boyz?

Gray Imp Sausage Metal · « **Reply #12 on:** July 19, 2018, 07:26:21 PM »

whenever I see a Markovich thread I immediately revisit his Color part and reminisce about when the world was a much simpler place

He’d definitely benefit from an Epicly Laterd

i'm still down for his 101 part

Every time a Markovich thread comes up, he gets tons of hate. I get some of the comments but lest we forget the guy has put out the most video parts of any pro, ever (30+ parts, easily). I’m sure new age kids will top that number, but won’t top the impact he had.

I remember my dad coming back from LA in 2005 after a work trip and met up with an old friend who happened to be Kris's doctor and he met kris on his trip, he showed me his part in what if and color and he was my favourite for a couple years, id just starting skating a year before, then I learnt about his history jumping from company to company, he should be of skateboarding by now

yeah, he has contributed a lot more to skating than what most of us on here give him credit for.
I wish him and J-Wray were able to just collect cheques from element well into their retirement years because they are definitely royalty.

nah, if you grew with him you'd know he can/ could milk it with the best of them

natenola forever · « **Reply #18 on:** July 20, 2018, 12:25:46 AM »

Yeah he also on Element Legends, H-street, his own company, I'm under the impression that he's gonna say yes to whoever calls him and offers $20.

Markovich is clearly batshit but man ole man, did I love him back in the day. This was the only dude that got me inspired to skate somewhat 'gnarly' way back when.

After Prime and the tattoos, he lost me.

I'm definitely not a hater.

Markovich was one of the first pro skaters that came to our skatepark in Belgium and he KILLED it.
Actually literally slaughtered it to be honest.

It was skatepark full with those awful plastic/metal obstacles where the transition is way to steep, ledges are way too high, rails too long and steep etc... everyone knows what I mean.

Kids would only use certain obstacles, because the rest was unskateable, but he hit every obstacle and frontside flipped over a hip that BMX'ers wouldn't even touch.

I think it's just said that such a talent faded out this way, he keeps trying and trying to pushes out brands to stay relevant that it's almost pathetic.

In some alternate universe this dude is getting big checks and has 'legend' status.

But these days he really does look like he's on hard drugs

Skated faster than anyone else in his generation doing tech and big shit. An all time great.

Would like to see some recent footage and a chrome ball interview

Rad, he's starting to tattoo his face. I hope he tattoos his eyes to look like one of his paintings.
Markovich was fuckin' on it, seriously under rated and constantly overlooked.
Chops interviewed him like four years ago, mang:

His Art Bars part was on heavy repeat for me when I got that video as a kid, also Jon West

That being said Kris Markovich on a company called Toxic is ironically fitting.

By the way I'm still pissed that he prevented Jeremy from trying to kickflip Wallenberg for obvious selfish reasons back in the day.

shark tits · « **Reply #26 on:** July 20, 2018, 05:56:33 AM »

not only did he shred and put out a number of exciting video parts, he knocked out danny way twice.
markovich was a bad ass from pensacola. it was cheap for him to not take j.wray to wallenberg but other than that [and i guess sponsor jumping but it doesn't effect me] but dude kinda ruled for a long time.
he used good songs over the yrs too, EPMD, that 'riding the metro' song, 'mean motherfuckin man' and i forget what else but his parts were always enjoyable.

Ah yes, thank yous v much.

Does anyone remember the Phat magazine interview where KM spilled the beans on beating the shit out of Dway? (Phat mag was a UK mag around 92/93)

artskool · « **Reply #29 on:** July 20, 2018, 07:08:17 AM »

I never saw that element part somehow. So much good stuff.

I was looking this photo:

And found this. Didn't Markovich used to post on here a million years ago? 88 shoes era.
