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.

please elaborate.

this is so long ago, i'm spotty at best but i think in the back of thrasher in 'trash' they said they both were after the same girl and danny way drove to markovich's house, markovich answered the door and knocked him out.
'yo pat duffy, you forgot your wigger!'
and pat duffy had to carry danny away like 150lbs of sod.
then i think he got drunk and instigated again [forget the chronology] and markovich socked him up again.

That ender is a thing of beauty too. That's how handrail skating should look. That gigantic hardflip over the hip was used in a 411VM around that time period too and blew my mind as a kid.

Always been a fan of Markovich's skating. I still have a brand new Crimson board in shrink wrap as part of my collection, that I won at some local contest back in 2007 or so. I remember some kid wanted me to trade it for his DGK deck with a shitty graphic he had just won too and I blew him off.

I may have never dug his companies, but to me he was one of the only guys that could refuse to skate switch, and still put out quality parts.

Also, consistently skated fast!

ungzilla · « **Reply #35 on:** July 20, 2018, 08:36:35 AM »

loved this 411vm tour section for giant (distribution?), has what has to be one of the most combustible combinations of people ever: billy pepper, bobby puleo, markovich, among others.

also introduced me to the only slint song i like.

I remember his tre flip on the Colors part.... Still amazing.
A shame all the sponsor hopping, him and Mike V should start a company.

On a random note... Anyone remember that Toxic promo that started with a Danzig song and Kyong Kim had last part?

?

They sorta kinda did, Kris rode for Elephant Brand. Pretty sure it was just him and Mike, while it lasted.
To quote Kris: "There were jokes about putting a stipulation in my contract entitling Mike to beat my ass if I quit. I’d literally have to fight Mike to leave".
Dunno what happened there, I think it folded before Kris could leave.

Did anyone else have that lil magazine about skating that came with Capri Suns in the 90s? The "catalog" part of the mag only showed Toxic boards.

He’s an extremely nice dude. People that hate on him have obviously never met him.

Also to all the people saying he’s on drugs. He sitting out front of cafe in Oceanside. Dudes on coffee. Maybe a hammerhead?

I want whatever coffee he's drinking. He is obviously on herion. I've seen enough people on it to know he might be on it. He is washed up now. Can't even

lol I met him and he was a dick

GOKU · « **Reply #47 on:** July 20, 2018, 10:46:07 PM »

Definitely getting the opiate vibe from dem clips, as well.

My first deck was a Markovich Foundation board! It was a frog climbing the Eiffel tower, lol. People forget, but he is arguably the first person to ever do a bigflip. Or at least the first person photographed doing one.

Never 4get his super hot wife, who unfortunately some Hollywood flow rider fucked and proceeded to ruin everything. I am still not sure who this skateboarder was! You can see this smokin' hot ex wife in his Art Bars part... such a babe.

He's had a guest pro model on Wight Trash for like nearly a decade. They are a nice little company out of the Isle of Wight, their owner John Cattle is an absolute sweetheart.

You can’t deny his impact on skating, maybe weird now but still ripped in his day.
As far as his character, i grew up in carlsbad and he was nothing but cool to us kids. He would skate with us,
hook us up with boards and whatever he had. Super nice guy.

Pretty sure he ripped on that Tony hawks tour thing with Alex Chambers and Brian Sumner.

Anybodys got a link?

How is that possible? If you're cool you should never be not cool. Markovich had his time. Its a sham him amd j wray don't have legacy shoes and boards like that fuck head Gino. Jeremy Wray has ton a million more things for skating than gino. Markovich should be rich from beating up Danny Way.

I feel like this entire thread repeats itself once a year. This is the point where I say that Justin Roy pulled a Ryan Fabre. Someone else will say, no, it was D.J. Chavez. At some point someone will list all his sponsors, make comparisons to Vallely, Element retirement, Color part, etc. Maybe the Calvin Klein model thing will be thrown in, though that fact may skip every other year. The consensus of whether Markovich is nice or not will never be settled, but the Justin Roy thing probably will. Someone will also bring up that this thread will repeat itself.
