Kris Markovich opens up about the early Gulf Breeze skate scene, Rob Roskopp building ramps, Rodney Mullen’s influence, skating in Atlanta and California, becoming a local legend in Pensacola, filming iconic parts, getting wrecked for tricks, stopping skating for years, returning later in life, and building a life through art without losing that core identity.
