Kris Markovich is a husband, father, artist and iconic skateboarder. In this week’s episode, Kris joins me from his home in Florida and discusses his 30 (plus) years of skateboarding, being a pro skater for the best companies in the 90’s, touring the world, starting board companies, navigating sponsorship deals, his favourite video part, his love for battling tricks, why he chooses not to live in the past, his admiration for his father, his struggles with insomnia, filming new video parts and getting sponsored at 50 years of age…
I must admit, as I was talking to Kris, I kept thinking to myself “I’ve got to skate harder”.
Kris is a humble, inspired human who is enjoying the happiest years of is life…
Enjoy!
