Dude is SO nice! Years back I bought a painting off Kris off of instagram. Fucking guy hand delivered it to my work! Made it an extra special, SPECIAL piece of art
Was it a painting of faces or a painting of faces?
you forgot a special
I worked in a skate shop in Memphis where the owner had a painted deck done by Kris for the shop. Pretty good dude. I probably have sleeves because of him.
Are u late because of him also
His part in art bars was my favorite. He skates so fast and aggressive. Must of watch that part a million times when I was younger.
@@schmidtty1387 yea that song was so good lol
It's not a cover its a live version
@@Bilistix-bc3tu noice, did not know that. Sounds pretty rocking for berlin
I watched that part on Fuel TV back in the day a bunch. still resonates with me.
Yeah love that video and song was perfect.
Such an honest and passionate conversation. This is what I love about the nine club, pure skateboard history by those who created it. No politics .. no gimmicks … no lipstick .. Just skateboarding.
yesssssss
Well said!
Slowly moving out of the “nice club”???
Well it starts off fumbly. Do some research like “the bombhole” does
@@scottttttttttttttttttt Maybe the Bombhole can research "self control when using sound effects"
Time to bring Natas to the 9 Club.
Yes and Gonz
@@jessiemartinez3056 And Jesse Martinez.
@@jdmresearch yes jess the mess a legend
@@jessiemartinez3056 natas seems to be a very recluse individual. much like mullen, im sure they've tried. .. cardiel needs to get on there also. matt hensley is a OG that needs a feature also
Matt Hensley
Kris is a treasure to skateboarding. Always remained true to himself & his skating. He bounced around a lot of companies but he gave everything & his all to each & every one of them. Glad to see him back where he belongs & still ripping with that awesome speed style & bag of tricks which still amaze me ❤️❤️❤️
I just want to say as a former skateboarder, I haven't skated In 20 years. I loved skateboarding. I love watching your program. Chris you are great at doing these shows. Keep up the great work. It's great to give these old legends a place to share there stories!
You’re still a skater…. What’s with this former bs. One kick flip a year keeps you poser clear
Huge fan of this man. Huge fan of everything he’s done. Bought a one of a kind painted skated deck from him, shot the breeze a little bit about his mural at last year’s Tampa Am. This man is truly humble. It’s such a pleasure to see his gratitude and love and passion for where he is today. This one has indeed been a long time coming and thank you Nine Club for bringing this man on. May blessings continue to abound for you, Kris.
This was seriously epic.... Thanks K Mark for all the blood , sweat and tears you shed in order to have all of these great stories you shared on this episode.... Brutha you are up there with the gnarliest to EVER step foot on what Jeff Grosso would say " the wooden toy".... Keep Rippin.... And thank you.... ✌️For the rest of the night I'm watching Markovich footy...
I'm really glad he managed to do the entire interview without dropping a single F-bomb! Impressive.
"F**k You Checks". Lol
These days F-bomb means something different.
Kris was one of my favorite skaters as a kid. stoked to see hes crushing it in st.pete, bummed i moved away from there a few years ago. and dope to hear Chris Parks is doing graphics for the board brand!
I love when people are just honest. There’s a lot of people & companies in the skate industry that are assholes. I’m glad when people share their honest experiences with them.
I remember being at Martin Place back in 2004 and watching Kris film his first line in “What If”. It just blew my mind how creative he was in his approach to skating that spot. An underrated great.
Ive always felt he was underrated too
Kris Markovich - Prime fight fire with fire is my favorite part of all time. EPMD and big 360 flips
He does the best 360 flip ever in that vid
@ Crankwalk STRAIGHT UP ! : ruclips.net/video/-dK2qO05gmg/видео.html 💯💪✊
Still have it on vhs
@@marley1995 💎✨🍀👍
Kris Markovich is a legend of skateboarding history and culture! Glad to see he's happy and doing so well and still ripping! ~ I remember watching a bootleg copy of Union Right To Skate video in the early 90s and my friend and I were blown away by the music and his insane skating. It has influenced me to work harder and be better even into my 40s. Pure skateboarding no nonsense bs from one of the best and the fastest to ever do it! Thanks Kris and Nine Club!
Genuine. Rock solid. Good human. Not to mention a beast on a board. Stoked to see this new part. Blind what if, and Union RTS. So sick.
This was a DOPE interview ! 💯 I still have my original VHS of the Color video.👍
Kris's T-Shirt is beyond on point as Kerala, India celebrates Onam at the moment. You Tube Kathakali and you will see what it is.
Really touched my soul to be honest.
That's one of the best episodes so far. Markovich is simply the man. Skating and persona. Its no joke smashing concrete at 50 years old either. So good he's still in the game. This is not getting old...good work fellas.
The best, one of the most pure skateboarders to walk this planet. Go fast and go for broke. Thank you! 🤲
YES FINALLY, so many good stories, Kris is skateboarding royalty
I can’t believe how good he’s skating these days. It’s dope as F
My new favorite episode 🔥🔥 Kris Markovich is a super nice dude who carries great energy. I saw him at the South Beach park in Jax. Dude was ripping so hard I second guessed if it was really him haha shout out Fl!!
No one rips Jax like Clyde. End of story. A&P Curbs for life lol
Bloody legendary episode!!
Bro the amount of that I just learned was amazing felt like I just took a course in skateboarding history, what a legend, also a part at 50 👀😮💨 so much inspiration and motivation love this so much 🙌🏻
Was at the St Petes park last Winter and Kris was there... killing it!! He's definitely not lying about taking slams either - dude goes hard as anyone I've seen. and at his age, it's more than impressive! Im 45 myself and still get after it but definitely not like him! Props!!
This was a treat! One of the OG street hero’s for me and he is only a couple years older than me. For your next order skaters to be on the show try and get Jeff Kendall and Rob Rosskop.
Fuck yes boys!! Been waiting for this one for a long time now. Markovich was fucking gnarly in his day without a doubt one of the first guys to skate fast and do flat ground tricks doing mach 1.
That story about the Element logo was priceless! Element's been my favorite company since I was a kid in 2004 and my first pro board was an Element. Cool to know after all these years.
First kick flip down Carlsbad!
Massive ups to Kris Markovich bro, always looked up to him, great to hear the stories, only wish he had shortly covered The Tony Hawk Gigantic Skatepark Tour from his perspective, as for me, I was 14, 15 and 16 when those went down and it was so influential seeing skateboarding pushed to such heights and on ESPN and everything.... anyways tho, so many stories here I never knew of and mad happy to see where he is these days and how happy and content he seems via his socials currently. Go on Kris, go on!
Kris is skateboarding incarnated. More videos parts than anyone ever, still holdin it down and skating regularly in the Florida Gulf Coast heat. Big fan!
What a legend! I was so happy when I woke up this moring and saw he was on. I had many of his boards but my favorite one was the Cindy Crawford one.
Badass. Shout out to all the heads who skate fast and rip. Markovich is sick.
Truly one of the best to ever do it. A great inspiration to my career, super nice guy and very humble.
I skate with kris in st Pete every day he’s a rad dude
I remember the G&S days, one of the greats for sure!
Great dude, I have the MarkovicA deck hanging on my wall 🤘 great episode, amazing!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Fantastic now please get Ocean 😎
Ocean and Marcus, that would be 🔥
Awesome episode. Markovich was one of the sickest gap skaters ever. I could never try to do what he did, but it was fun watching him do it.
Met him at LV when he was on F and doing a tour with the T.Hawk tour and he must of been tired but was cool to do a small chat. He did mention that beagle told him that we came down from japan. It was an honor to meet the legend!
Thank you so much. I was such a fan of Kris when i was younger, in fact he is the reason i bought my first element deck. That was a huge thing for me, my parents wouldn’t support skateboarding but the dude skated 100 mph!!!!!! God damn!!! I didn’t know he did art but i am going to try to find out if i can buy something from him. I love his stories & attitude towards the industry when he was younger. Very punk rock
LEGENDARY!!!! TY The Nine Club
Kris Markovich, had one the sickest photo/ interviews in transworld magazine. That was so incredible for it’s time.
Kris Markovich was my first favorite skater
Met Markovich after school at La Canada High back before the world tour video, back smithed the 6 stair out ledge full speed and was the nicest dude after I broke my board from being so amped by how outrageously fast he was in real life. Brought me a board the next day unplanned, so classy.
it wasn’t snuff or falling down, ww2 report is the first 101 video with Markovich
Yep 👍
Yes. Thank you. AKA - 101 Promo. It’s so frustrating that Chris Roberts (or even Kris Markovich) doesn’t know the name of the 101 videos. SNUFF was winter ‘93/‘94 after the Girl exodus and right before Gabriel Rodriguez left for Chocolate (only one trick in the video).
I skated with Kris when we were kids growing up in Gulf Breeze in the 80's. To this day I can still remember the exact moment I knew he was special.
I was on top of a half pipe and he got sketchy on the coping doing a grind or something and i just knew he was gonna bail. I was watching his feet and saw him about to eat it and then magically he just got his feet back in the proper position on the board and rode it out and I knew even as a kid that no matter how much I practiced, i would never be able to do what he just did. It was just this natural reaction for him, but I knew every other person at that ramp would have crashed in that same position. I can't explain it properly, but I knew it was an important lesson for me in that moment.
It was just an average recovery for him, but i knew that I could skate all day and I'd never be able to do that. I knew i had just seen a gift that none of the rest of us possessed. I wasn't jealous, just felt lucky to have seen it.
Years later i played high school football with a guy who ended up on the Atlanta Falcons and it was that same feeling when i saw him run. I just knew that was the difference between regular people and a pro.
Also, he was always really cool to us when we were younger. He was popular and a few years ahead of us, but he was always really nice and treated us with respect even as a teenager.
He comes back home every once in a while and I've seen him from time to time over the decades and he's always been a nice guy.
Special…Special!! Guest!! Thank you Kris!! Some damn good behind the scene and stories. Some gnarly sk8 reality history. Love the Nine Club thank you 🙌🏽
Watched so many of his parts over and over again. Loved this guys skating.
The rapper he didn’t get all along with back in the day was probably Chris Gentry
Kris is somewhat responsible for street skating becoming fast and stylish. Anyone from that era appreciates his influence.
Absolutely. I mentioned it in my own comment. One of the first guys to skate fast as fuck and look good doing it. And it was at a time when the whole industry was kind of still learning and still going kinda slow. Especially when the small wheels hit.
For sure!
“ I quit Gullwing and I never rode for them.” 😂
Holy Chit!! Well I had a Color board of his. Weird cool colors and had an elephant and donkey? Or something. Had to be late 90's
Been waiting on this!
I had a Dogtown shop sponsorship in 90 and got his Pro model from Dogtown always been a big fan.
Him and Jeremy Wray planted the seeds to be a huge Led Zeppelin mark. Skating smooth and fast, so iconic
SHOUT OUUT Dan Sturt the only guy I know who doesn't mind getting on the ground in the middle of trader Joe's to explain a story. .....❤❤❤❤❤🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Knoxville native here. So cool to hear kris talk about my local shop. Plutos, Bryan and all the guys down there are hella rad. I got so hyped when he brought up Ktown. Then he mentions Plutos and I had to pause the episode because I was so hyped. If any of y’all ever comes through knox for sure hit up Plutos. Love the show and keep clicking that like button
I know Heath Kirchart is a private dude, but damn would it be awesome to get him on this.
After rewatching his Epicly Later'd I very much agree! It'd be so interesting to see how his career and transition into retirement were from his point of view!
@@amirdeen355 exactly! Everything about that guy seems so 'mysterious' and yet very down to earth. In my opinion best skating style for sure!
LEGEND! Best episode, dont know how i missed this when it came out!🤙
love his art bars part, the song is so perfect
stoked for this!
awesome video once again ! great to see kris m. again :)
Love the honesty, been waiting for him heavy!
I remember seeing the Carlsbad gap kickflip cover and thinking that's not possible.
Thank you The Nine Club.
The video is WWIi Report. 1992. Adam Mcnatt skates to Speed Demon by The ....Mentors pretty sure and Markavich had last part skating to Hendrix . Snuff was a later. After the Falling Down video. It's a blur to the people who were the most involved on one side of the lens and unforgettable to everyone else sometimes.
I met Kris about 20 years ago when the Hollywood team did a demo in olympia, I was a hang around at the shop that put it on and I knew the dudes well, I was 12 years old i got to ride in the car with the Hollywood team from the shop to the park they were doing the demo at. It was very memorable and Kris is a good dude, I'm glad he's doing good things and still skating.
Legend status. Original and authentic and a monster on a board.
This is fucking great!!!! thanks to everyone involved
This is the one we have been waiting for
Kris told me to buy duffs Strombolies and a prime board when I went to xyz in Carlsbad. Thanks man!! It was rad seeing him around so much then.
Do John Drake next!!!
Talking about Tim Tino first person I saw ollie the carlsbad gap after it was built. He set a trash can in the grass and melon grabbed over it. Was the "small gap" but it was huge at the time. Right after that he rode off the roof in the lunch area.
That’s what I was wondering!!! Yes, Tim Tino was bonkers. First person I ever saw clear a metal trashcan (down by the curbs near Gator’s apt) off of flatground, he put rocks in front of it to mark his take off spot and grabbed backside.
Last time I saw Tim he was playing jacket sack behind mikes liquor that was probably twenty years ago
@@MarkS-lq8ov was that the place next to Big Bear in Carlsbad?
Been a fan of Kris since G&S days. Legend.
The color part was my go to every morning before school and every afternoon before heading out to skate back in 94
#Sweetness
Another great one! Thank you 🙏
Simon Woodstock is the Gallagher of skateboarding. LMAO, incredible
3:30am just got home from the bar and this is a nice treat to have freshly released. 🙏🙌
Bouta enjoy the AF outta this 😁
Whenever I think of Kris, the first thing that comes to mind is going so unbelievably fast.
awesome episode. thank you!
I had to look up the bigbrother cover. Took a while before I saw it but yeah, there it is, the floating wheel :D
Am I crazy for clicking on this assuming there would be some mention of drug addiction?
Yes
I guess we are all crazy
Not as crazy as you are incredibly shallow and judgmental for coming to that conclusion based off someone’s look. Hopefully in the last 9 months you’ve figured out how to be a better person
This is amazing!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
1:41 « It’s a good assumption! ». High up there with the Mike V. one among many others… skateboarding history is just amazing and K.M. is in the 9,99 club for sure! thank you so much! ❤ from Brussels.
Some great episodes recently the OG ones are the best, we need Guy Koston and Rick Gonz Templeton please.
I think the 'es shoe he mentioned was called The Contour from 1995. I remember having those first Sal Barbier's with the 23.
Kris is correct about Ryan Wilburn and Pluto Sports. I went to high school with Ryan, skated with him numerous times. Pluto Sports used to be an indoor skatepark, but now is just a skate shop. Haven't spoken with Ryan in 20+ years, but heard he moved to CA and turned pro.
Thank you guys 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Unexpected! Got to meet him at my local park at the time like in '07/'08 this show is THE SHIT ! LOVE Y'ALL!
Back when crimson was still a thing.
Simon Woodstock kickflip the shit outta that skim board also him skating mini ramps in his wetsuit!
What a Legend.
Jeron looking mad high in this episode.
One of my all time favorite all terrain skaters of the 90’s ‼️‼️‼️
Y'all did good with this one. DAYUM
I was at Benicia the day he got that photo and had just got on Dogtown. If I remember correctly, that was the day he was going to be pro for Dogtown? I'm pretty sure though, because the buzz that day at the park was all about him. And from what I was seeing, well deserved!!
Yup my favorite skater in the early 90s ! Really went big and super technical! I use to by his skate jeans T bags
I always liked Kris markovich since the 101, union video and A1 meats video. Early 90s.
dope interview
Speaking of Knoxville, I remember the day Kris and his dad were shooting off fireworks outside of Pluto skate shop. A bunch of us went to the bank right down the street that had some gaps which we called Pluto bank. Kris Markovich was trying big flips over the gap and local ripper Greg Grimes came flying out of nowhere by Kris and did it first try and Kris got pissed.
It was funny... Everyone was crazy back then.
damn, so many parallels between his career and Jay Adams'.
Nine club is holding down ! You guys are hella funny. Please keep doing what you do forever. Sick content always ✨
