boring?

I think he just couldn’t make it in California any longer and you know the best way to go about it is to just say that you don’t like it there any more! It’s an easy cop-out. And come to think of it why is he riding for companies for a short period of time and switching so much? Well the reason can’t always be someone else’s fault! If this “Given” thing doesn’t work out and some California-based company offers him a board look how quickly he’ll love California again!

Kris has always been one of the sickest skaters.
Still is! Hasn’t lost a beat!! Shred on!!
April 28th, 2009 at 1:15 pm
his wife works along side him? hasn’t he learned his lesson? leave the family and the skating completely separated!!!

Kris is one of the most genuine skateboards. He’s a great guy, with a drive unlike anyone else. Given is unlike most other brands, it has meaning behind it’s image and it’s do-it-yourself, raw skateboarding. That’s how it should be, skateboarder owned, operated, distributed, Kris and Amy are two great people. Thanks TWS for posting this Day in the Life. Amazing.

what the hell are you talking about hahaha…learn your skateboarding history right, this man saw and conquer a while ago being there and done that,he just kept it real now and decided to fallow real skateboarding path, go touch yourself for some Ryan Sheklers posters while over dozing on red bulls.

i love markovich. but ive been bummed on him the last few years. i dont know when hes gonna learn that hes not meant to have a company. hollywood, hellrose, crimson, 88 footwear. flop flop flop. hollywood was super sick but it fell, that shoulda been it. stop trying to start these companies, they’re all the same.

Atlanta AND Athens are the sickest cities ever.
Markovich is a legend in these parts, no matter what happens.

sorry mother fuka cold turkey is right

Kris is skateboarding, sometimes things don’t work out, like new tricks, so you push on until it’s what you want and it’s perfected. he rips hard as hell and the fact that he and his wife run the business is even better because there isn’t some suit wearing corporate a$$hole pushin buttons and runnin numbers, plus personal delivery shows how committed he is to skateboarding, his own ideas, and supporting the thing and ones he loves most. all you little kids can hate, but don’t get it twisted, he’s on camera, he’s in magazine’s, he’s got his own board company, he thrashes, none of you do any of this, because you support a false image of skateboarding and it’s creativity.

KRIS MARK.AS.S.BITCH B A DUMMY F./A./G./G./O./T, HE MAKES THE SUCK OF ELEFANT BALLS WHEN DA ZOO IS CLOSED WHILE I GO TO HE CRIB AND BONE HE STUPID WIFE WITH MY 17 FT LONG THROBBING MEATCYCLOPS THAT I CALL “TAIWAN P./U./S./S./Y ASSASIN” AFTERWARDS WE SUCK EACH OTHERS TOES WHILE STUFFN PEANUT BUTTR UP OUR ASSES

FDG, may I suggest you drop your skateboard and go play with a rainbow saber? It may be more appropriate.
KM is legit and has one of the best styles. Peep the footy, he charges everything.
Even Transworld did a sequence on him on a mini that they didn’t know what it was. May the haters die a flaming death.

Anyone that doesn’t like Markovich either started getting into skateboarding after Bam had a tv show or even worse after Zumiez was started. I’ll bet any of you that’s 100% true.
April 29th, 2009 at 7:35 am
he runs his own business and gets to skate everyday. i would love that life
April 29th, 2009 at 7:37 am
very true
April 29th, 2009 at 7:38 am

April 29th, 2009 at 7:42 am

April 29th, 2009 at 7:48 am
the painting up to the deck is great, it means like the ZOOYORK what iam driven at the moment
April 29th, 2009 at 8:18 am
You failed!
April 29th, 2009 at 9:15 am
Man, I would be stoked to run a skate company with my wife. The art on his deck was super sick. I would hang that piece on my wall. Cool little documentary!!! Good filming.
April 29th, 2009 at 12:03 pm
I’ve been skating for a good ten years or so, and when i first got started I heard of Markovich, but didn’t like him. To this day I still don’t like the guy, respect him for what he does, and how he does it. I just personally can’t get into his skating.
April 29th, 2009 at 1:59 pm
whats the song begin?
April 29th, 2009 at 3:40 pm
what kind of camera at 7:39?!?!
April 29th, 2009 at 8:22 pm
Respect to the humble admission of being the skate pro joke regarding company hoppin’ at the end. Chris is not a joke imo, Jereme Rogers on the other hand…..Jeeezzz
April 30th, 2009 at 7:38 pm
dude leave your wife out of skating!
didnt your last one hump one of your riders? james atkins or something? smarten up Markovich!
April 30th, 2009 at 9:05 pm

Hey this is Rob Dyrdek. First I wanted to say awesome post, and I was sitting here chilling out with Drama and we were playing around here in the office and doing a search for great posts about my up coming tours and the fantasy factory information on the web. I wanted to invite everyone to my new blog that I am posting on everyday and I want to let all my fans know that I will be responding to comments there as well as posting new personal pictures and unseen videos and clips of me and the boys here at the fantasy factory playing around and doing what we do best. Hit me back on my new blog at http://www.robdyrdekfantasyfactory.com/ Skate @ Rob D.

pce.
September 14th, 2009 at 7:43 pm
At least he's trying………what are you doing? Besides hatin!
September 19th, 2009 at 9:36 am
markovich is an all time inovator in skateboarding, respect the dragon you can never catch. if you tried rolling as fast as him, you would brake your face on the first trick.
