Josh Kalis has a new segment he's doing called Brick Layers. It's going to feature skaters he felt have laid down the foundation for future generations to come. The first one goes out to Matt Hensley's groundbreaking part from "Hokus Pokus." I wonder if Josh is going to do an episode on himself?

Quartersnacks has an interview with Josh Kalis. They discuss Alien Workshops transformation, and why he felt he had to get out of there. There's also a few Workshop riders who Kalis has some words for. Long live the skaters out there who actually voice their opinions, and don't sugar coat everything. Below is an 8 minute clip of Kalis randoms throughout the years. If you make it to "7:32" you'll see one of the best 360 flips of all time.
