- VICE interviews pro skateboarder Josh Kalis about his early days street skating in his hometown. For more skateboarding action, check out VICE's Epicly Later'd: vice.com/epicly...
The Kalis series finally begins. Right off the bat, Josh clears up a few issues for everybody and we get right into things with how it all got started in Grand Rapids. Sean Sheffey appears and lets us know that Josh has always been a well respected skater, and Mike Blabac recalls when Josh helped him learn how to use his camera. Ted Lee provided the archival footage of a young Kalis, and if there had been more time we would have loved to show more of Ted's incredible old footage that includes a New Deal demo with Ed Templeton and Mike Vallely. Enjoy.
You can tell that Josh is still in disbelief and awe of Sheffey to this day. So dope.
We all Fanned on him. Sheff was our dude. He repped NYC for us when we couldn’t. Love to. SHEFF and King Kalis.
Kalis is a legend and it’s crazy that he wasn’t fished over by these dudes lucky enough to chat with him.
josh “i was grounded” kalis
Too funny 🎯🤣🤣🤣
Ha! He totally said that a bunch of times!
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.
Josh is grounded this entire episode.
Lol !!! You’re right .
Was thinking that
Still can tell how he views Sean. He was one of the dopest dudes for awhile when I was younger
Isn’t dill technically “up river now” ?
josh kalis is fucking awesome.. i skated with him once in grand rapids, michigan, which i believe is where he was born and raised.. moved to philly later, i think.. point being, im from michigan and skating in grand rapids with kalis will always be something that makes me smile
The level of stokage that Kalis had when sheffy remembered knocking on his door is hilarious
"I always played it cool"......."Damn! You remembered that shit!"
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!
I respect Dill. But Damn he's always loved the sound of his own voice. And he's a nut job haha
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
+DjDz wow
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
“They’re up river...ya know where TVs are, the fishings better” sounded so pretentious lol
@@lsclsc9960 I haven’t seen Mikey Taylor skate in years
Guy was on MTV hanging out with Ozzie's kids when they were teens talkin about kalis being up river lol
so true lol. dill was at a bad point during this era.
@@drinkingpoolwater what era ,this was 7 years ago tf
@@alexandru-mariosidor7980... that's an era.
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.
Now he pulls up at the Grand Rapids park everyday lol. Always repping Michigan. Glad he’s back.
As he should. Dude is a skateboarding legend of the highest tier.
This dude showed up at the local park in GR and hooked everyone up with gear!
Josh Kalis repping Grand Rapids Michigan!
Dill calling kalis up river is fucking laugh out loud funny considering how FA is doing right now
Still has one of the best looking 360 flips to this day
kalis' segment was boss. one of my favorites
this makes me proud to live in michigan. i live a while away from grand rapids though
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.
I saw Sean Sheffy, Ron Young and Tony Hawk do a demo in '92 at Ohio Surf & Skate
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
WiFi and TV's? So basically all the Holiday inns are "Up River"
Michigan represent!
watched this like 15 times before remembering to thumbs up. favourite later'd ep.
Holy shit I used to have Lennie Kirk's board, back when the Workshop was super new. I forgot about him.
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
Bring this to viceland
ya i agree i like the more creative skating with a hesh style, but a smooth tech style with steeze is cool too
🔥🔥🔥
Cleanest 360 flip ever 3.16
Back blunt to switch front board? Not many people are doing that today, josh is rad as fuck.
Best epicly laterd of all time.
one of the best ones
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
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.
no... jason dill said that after kalis joined DGK
Sean Sheffey Epicly later'd
papasquat 315 Yes!!!!
Really I think they just need to make a Plan B epicly later’d
respect for sheffey
Well yea from lansing here also
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
best tre flip ever at the end
Dill is "up river" now in 2020 with FA
charging silly money for stuff that nobody buys
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.
yepp. good shit, good watch. keep em coming
dude seriously a movie about josh kalis...7 parts to it
Kalis has dope style.
Sheffey looks like a UFC fighter.
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.
Lol bro Kalis has never claimed to be hood or a gangsta he’s street he grew up in the streets skating
@@calebhogue2619 he didnt grow up in the streets man, he got grounded like every week for being a dumbass
Malibu's Most Wanted! Lol
my dad grounded for me from my roller skates for the win
RESPECT
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.
Kalis, a very strong traditional klingon name
Gayest fckng names ever
shout out to all the Michigan skaters!
🤘🏻🤘🏻
That board he rides is so small!
7:57 those wheels 😂
i had that Ken Park board but it was green.
Epicly latered sean sheffey !
funny dill is king supreme how’s the fishing in 2020
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.
I want Kalis on FA
i second the dude under me!
so do you know why he left it? because I think aws with habitat represent the best way the skateboardig well in my opinion...
Sean Sheffey's a cool dude
From my city 👌🏼💯
Carl Shipman used to skate in cargo pants. I think thats pretty cool.
at around 7:40 a logo of a sun with a beat up face appears on the screen ... does any one know what skate company was that??? that was my first legit skateboard .... got it early 90's ... Dope shape, waasnt a popsickle ... Any help with the info would be appreciated ..
Triple OG
6:26 Ellwood School Goleta, CA :]
I have respect for dill but josh is right it ain’t cool that he called him out in Dylan’s video (rip Dylan) josh is as street as you get he’s right when he says that. But damn dill why man?
sickest EL ever
Anyl 2019?
Hell yea gr baby
Tsmooth Godwin xx
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.
hella
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.
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.
Definitely "up river"!
@tm agad you wouldn't even be able to swim in these waters, you'd drown quick. Michigan the last of the real
reminds me of rod dyrdek
The dramaaaaaa
im from GR too. what are your favorite spots?
kid looks like malcom in the middle at 08:06
Josh Calisse
e92 M3, good choice.
That FASTEST melon bs 180
fuck yeah
Gets offended by term 'up-river'... Gets out of late model BMW a few shots later
Lmao
I love dill and kalis don’t see why dill had to go and hate on him
2:05 so..... where did that end up?
Seen this dude today at clemente skate park and he aint that friendly...
This dude is a trip but like on the best s*** though
Thought he had a big ass face tattoo in the thumbnail lol
Everyone who bags damn xD
Josh is cute! I love skater boys :)
Kalis is from michigan ?
I graduated from the same high school as this dude in 98. My buddy was like "this dude Josh Kalis used to go here" and I was like "who?" I hated the 90's era of skaters.
Ur a douchebag dude lol
Straighten that hat young man
dude, he's upriver. There's nothing wrong with that. He's obviously bankin and successful. But he's upriver.
I agree calling Josh up river is ass backwards.
Kalis is a sick skater but I never liked the wanna be ganster thing.
I wasn't bashing him at all. I think he rips but the whole wigger thing is goofy as fuck.
*****
Uh yea he really is.
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?
Keith Richards Liver
I'm taking comments too seriously? Get more defensive please. A lot of people identify with the culture Kalis presents. Get over it.
Keith Richards Liver who fucking cares😂stfu
