I used to skate with him back in the early 2000's, I actually sold him a couple of those guitars. He's an amazing skater, and the nicest guy. I hope for nothing but the best for him in whatever he does in life.

I used to see Kris do demos at a park in Peoria Illinois in the early 90's. That guy skates so fast and I always got stoked to skate after watching him skate. The guy kills it everytime, super stylin! Very inspirational back then!

I live in GA and actually met this guy at one of our local skateparks. I was wondering what brought him to Georgia. It was surreal meeting him because this was this pro skater that I was exposed to and thought was gnarly at 12. I didnt meet him in person until I was like 23-24. I was a semi adult meeting an adult...just a normal guy. I wish I had spoken more to him but I didnt want to bother him really. I agree with him totally regarding California. Cali is way over-rated as a place to be.

The oft spoken words of an overly defensive californian who has a predetermined opinion of the south before the first experience. Driving though does not count as "been to the south." the same way driving through california does not count as "been to california." You experienced the traffic. Not the skate spots, not the people, not the food, not the weather. If you only drove through PB in San Diego you'd think it was just a fucking filthy tourist trap (which it is) but you would not have any real idea of what its like to live there (in a fucking filthy tourist trap) So don't reflect whatever reason you hate kris onto the south.

It's sad Given didn't work out. I mean it was 100% core company. Kris did the artwork himself which I really liked. Even Nate Jones joined the team. It would have been great. Just he and his wife working for it. Skating and doing all the work by himself. Bummed that skate community didn't evaluate and appreciate it enough to support the company so that they could provide themselves and maintain their existence in long term. Fuck, skate community doesn't support skater owned and run companies enough at all. But I guess the divorce had to do with it as well.
