The Metro.
As a surprise to no one, Kris scores the last part in Art Bars. This was his first part for Foundation after leaving Element. I think he might even be riding Element boards in a couple of the clips. You know what you are going to get from Markovich and he certainly does not disappoint. It is nothing but blazing fast lines of street skateboarding mixed with big gap ollies and a sampling of handrails. His trick selection sticks to the classics, but when the tricks are done so properly at high speed, you are just left in awe. There are 360 flips, backside 50-50s, boardslides, bluntslides, noseblunt slides, and frontside shove-its. Kris does a couple of fakie ollies down gaps to relive the A-1 Meats days. His signature backside 180 nosegrinds make an appearance, too. A few frontside airs at a skatepark are floated about to round out the section. This backside Smith grind was near the end and his last trick was a frontside varial heelflip down a double set. Markovich is one of the best ever and this part is another solid chapter in his legacy.
