Josh Kalis Epicly Later'd

I'm a week late on posting this but nonetheless, I need to post this. The Josh Kalis epicly laterd episodes on vbs.tv, vice magazine's television channel are some of the best pieces of media that I've had the pleasure of watching in 2011. Patrick Odell's cult skaeboard show called epicly laterd is as he calls it "a modest attempt at documenting all of skateboarding's history." He has covered high profile skateboarders like Dylan Reider, Guy Mariano, and Andrew Reynolds to name a few. The episodes follow skaters in their progression from children to adult professionals and everything that happened in their in life in between.

The Josh Kalis episodes are my favorite of the bunch so far. They start at his humble beginnings in Michigan and follow him from all the skate meccas he has lived in like; Barcelona, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, San Diego, and currently Los Angeles. These episodes are highly influential to me because they're about a skater who has been a complete workaholic his entire career. Rob Dyrdek put it best in one of the last episodes about Kalis when he says; "He's your favorite skater's favorite skater."
