Josh Kalis, the legend who has sustained one of the most profound careers in skateboarding, turned 45 today. He sat down for a series of interviews with us for our Life On Video series, and we're honored to be able to show you the complete edit here.
Since his early days with Toy Machine to Alien Workshop and now DGK, Kalis always stayed true to his vision of pure professional skateboarding. And in a world changing to accommodate contests and corporate skating, Kalis stuck to the streets, staying true to those aspects of skating that made him fall in love with it in the first place. That’s why to this day you can still find him skating downtown with as many skaters as possible, having fun and filming new projects. Today as a brand ambassador and tenured skateboarder, nothing but respect can be thrown his way because Kalis forged a legacy by his own rules. We’re all forever indebted to Kalis for reminding us that the next time you feel pressured to participate in something that doesn’t feel right, you don’t have to-because skateboarding is about doing what you love. Josh Kalis truly dedicated his life to skateboarding.
Signed Josh Kalis decks will available at 5pm PST in The Berrics Canteen!

Happy Birthday Josh. My introduction to you was seeing you in PHOTOSYNTHESIS. it's one of my favorite video parts in one of the earliest skate videos i'd seen in the first year that i started skateboarding. you've got one of the sickest styles out there. cheers!

He once sent me a box of DGK boards for complimenting him on SLAP magazine forums. Guy is true class and a great example of a professional skateboarder. I still buy Kalis decks because he did that 10 years ago.

Yes Josh is a good dude. I grew up skating love since 94 till it got torn down. Josh was always a cool cat. Did alot for us a bit younger heads that were always there.

As a grand rapids Michigan skater I miss chasing his g wagon to holland Michigan. I used to have his name and number in my phone to go skate. He brought me to his house and met his daughter and wife. I'll never forget those memories and I miss you Josh. I doubt he remembers me but I'll never forget how to be the man skating with big J.

@TheMoses9 3 года назад

This was awesome I feel like the nine club is where skaters go to talk about how they got where they are but it's good to see other people doing similar shit. I love hearing about the history of skaters, I missed out on a lot of that shit cos skating wasn't really a big thing in ireland till recently

@666thsense 3 года назад

that tre flip over the street gap was so impactful to me because when that 411 came out, it looked like he made the board do a double backflip and the flow with his arms mid trick was so sick looking and i'd never seen anything look like that before. i must've watched it in slow motion like 100 times. i studied every single frame.

Josh Kalis fan ever since the baby carriage footage in Photosynthesis (at the time the video came out) & played that VHS almost everyday (along with Rodney vs Daewon - Round 2) for years to follow before going out to hit the turf on the Darkstar wheels! The concrete jungle never looked the same ever since because looking at a city through skater's eyes is different... you know what I mean?! Happy birthday Josh... keep on destroyin'!!

@vancouverbill 3 года назад

That story about leaving his bag behind to get on the plane shows what a good guy he is. He could of asked everyone to leave a few things but instead he made sure the girls were okay and ditched all his stuff. True legend

@JonathanSmithSk8r 3 года назад

Happy birthday Kalis! Had a brief interaction with Kalis at Clemente Park in Grand Rapids a few years back. I asked how he stayed healthy with skateboarding after so many years as I've been battling with back issues since my late 20's and he went into stretches that helped him stay limber. Humble down to earth guy and still kills it. I was recently diagnosed with major disc herniation in my lower back and am pretty bummed. I still try to skate when I can and live vicariously through videos like these and trying to stay positive through the rough days. I still remember ordering my first "real" skateboard deck from CCS catalog, dialing into the slick version of the full spectrum from Alien Workshop back around 95' or 96'.

@nazaretgil782 3 года назад

Saw him chilling just smoking a cigarette at LES skatepark in nyc back in the day like 10 years ago when they used to have the nasty black tar floor before Nike redid the whole thing. I was trying to Ollie up and manual a tall ledge and kept looking up at him to see if he thought my trick was any good. I didn’t have the nerve to go up and say what’s up cuz he was a favorite skater of mine and I used to always watch his videos when I would get home from skating. I always thought he had the dopest style. I regret not having said hello at least. Hahaha looking back now my shyness seems kind of silly. Happy b-day to the love park legend

I’m in the background at the Hubba hideout footage. Must’ve been 14 then. I remember it going down like it was yesterday. I hung out at FTC all the time, skated Pier 7. I remember Joey and Andy were the dudes holding it down at FTC. Magical time. I wish I could’ve done more then. But I made sure I was in the city every weekend for years. That’s where the magic was.
