Kalis is too slick.  Always delivers and doesn't follow the silly trends that come and go.  One of my all-time favorites.

Kalis is amazing. His Mind Field part was just ridiculous.

Josh Kalis is the only pro i've ever seen skate in person.  I used to live in northern michigan and would make trips down to grand rapids on the weekends and skate purple east.  Kalis was a regular there at the time.  so many times i would just watch in aw at how fuckin gnarly this guy is.  i remember this one line he did... dropped in on the big quarter, kickflip the table top, hit the steap bank and snap the hugest nollie flip ever, like shoulder height, and come back and switch big heel the table top.  the dude's pop is unbelievable.  such a cool guy too.

you know how when you are a little kid and you just put up like random pictures from magazines on your wall, anyways, I made a whole section of my wall dedicated to kalis. It was sick. I can still remember the reflex bearing ad where he was doing a switch front crook on a handrail. That was the centre piece. So sick!

A lot of white skateboarders tried skateboarding in baggy clothing.

Most of them looked like fucking wade des shito, or des dicko, or des vagino, or whatever the fuck his name is - bad luck if you actually had a chance to witness a supreme WIGGERSHIP at it's highest point.

A few white skateboarders in baggy clothing actually look good. Kalis is one of the best. Smooth style, good tricks.

And never a fucking doo rag and a chain. No bullshit, just a proper looking skateboarder.

Fuck, here I am, a 69 - year old loud farting in public person, typing all kinds of senseless and useless shit about some guy pushing a piece of wood on four wheels, making it all look like he's a person REALLY worth typing about or ever speaking of.

I just typed a whole bunch of letters about a skateboarder. Not about a doctor, a scientist, or a teacher.

But about a fucking skateboarder.

Time to get a life.

And stop playing with my right hand.

P.S

I killed my wife last month and I raped my dog in the ass, so dog stopped barking. Now my dog is really laid back. AND MY FUCKING WIFE IS COOL AS ICE! ICE - ICE BABY! YES!

I also attach the photo of my new lover below. We used to sleep together, but he left to Afghanistan to sell his kidney and his anal to the Afghani government, so they can create a clone of a REAL PROUD AMERICAN! I mastrubate every ten minutes since my boy left. My love is gone.

APPRECIATE ME, YOU DIRTY SERVANTS! CREATE A TOPIC ABOUT YOUR EMPEROR, STOP CREATING TOPICS ABOUT SOME FUCKING PEASANTS.

i was in philly in 98, walking around south street tripping on some acid i got from a white dread that was sleeping in a graveyard... I walk up to sub zero, buy a big brother magazine, and im looking at the first page with a dc ad introducing the lynx... Kalis doing a huge 360 flip... Look up and motherfucker is sitting right there on the curb with ryan gee.  Sat and talked to him, stevie(who was inside looking like a wu member... Gold fang fronts and shit) and gee for over an hour.  Hardflipped his board, he gave me a workshop prototype that he said was too big for him(7.8 i think) amd asked if i wanted to ride out to nyc with them on a filming misson for some tws vid.  Fucking blew my mind... Nicest, realest dude ever... No pro ego, just a humble skate rat.  Kalis will always have my respect, and in my mind is what a pro skater should be.

What sponsors did Kalis have in the late 90s besides AWS and DC?
Same for Dill, if anybody knows.
