Skateboarder Josh Kalis 1 of 7 - Epicly Later'd - VICE
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.

Ha! He totally said that a bunch of times!
Kalis is a legend and it’s crazy that he wasn’t fished over by these dudes lucky enough to chat with him.
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.
Still can tell how he views Sean. He was one of the dopest dudes for awhile when I was younger
"I always played it cool"......."Damn! You remembered that shit!"
Josh is grounded this entire episode.

Was thinking that
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
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!
The level of stokage that Kalis had when sheffy remembered knocking on his door is hilarious
Guy was on MTV hanging out with Ozzie's kids when they were teens talkin about kalis being up river lol

Josh Kalis repping Grand Rapids Michigan!
This dude showed up at the local park in GR and hooked everyone up with gear!
WiFi and TV's? So basically all the Holiday inns are "Up River"
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.

As he should. Dude is a skateboarding legend of the highest tier.
kalis' segment was boss. one of my favorites
Still has one of the best looking 360 flips to this day
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.
this makes me proud to live in michigan. i live a while away from grand rapids though
I saw Sean Sheffy, Ron Young and Tony Hawk do a demo in '92 at Ohio Surf & Skate
Michigan represent!
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
watched this like 15 times before remembering to thumbs up. favourite later'd ep.
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.
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

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.

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.
funny dill is king supreme how’s the fishing in 2020
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 ..
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 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?
hella
I want Kalis on FA
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.
Hell yea gr baby

I love dill and kalis don’t see why dill had to go and hate on him
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.
Thought he had a big ass face tattoo in the thumbnail lol
