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 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.

    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.
