The reason you come
Real community with Kris is the trip.
Summer 2025. Kris Markovich and his wife Renee at MOTM.

Kris turned pro in 1990 after a second-place finish at the NSA amateur finals. Dogtown. A Transworld cover. Tony Hawk's tour. Parts in the magazines you grew up on — Thrasher, Big Brother, Slap.
He still skates. He still paints. Last summer he painted a mural on the backyard mini — and the walls in the house. For five days he kicks it here with you. Not a staged appearance. Not a contest or a demo. You skate. You eat. You hang out.

The mural · summer 2025

Kris came up with his wife Renee, their son Ransom, and their dogs Waffle and Trouble. They stayed a week. He skated. He painted. The backyard mini is his mural now.
Summer 2025. Kris Markovich, MOTM mural. Mini On The Mountain.
The stone cottage
Mini On The Mountain, Chattanooga.
Pete's skatebnb. A 1925 stone cottage. Punk, grunge, vintage — and a clean bed. You sleep here. You eat here. Pete cooks breakfast every morning. Johny Contich, local private chef, cooks Taco Tuesday, dinner on the choose-your-own-evening nights, and hors d'oeuvres for the house party. Kris is here. We skate at the house and around town. Walls of skate history. A mountain outside the door. A small group, not a hotel.
The stones were cut out of this mountain. Fully restored.
Chattanooga · December 2026
Here's 30,000 more reasons to come.
The new Chattanooga skatepark is 30,000 square feet. State of the art. $4.4 million. It opens in December 2026 — bowls, rails, stairs, ledges, a 40-foot mini, the Aquarium Gap, and even a spine, right here in town. Google Maps puts it 13.5 minutes from the house.
