The best part of skateboarding is that it attracts all sorts of characters.

This is a great interview so far, glad to hear anything from one of skateboardings most colorful. Thanks 9 club.

Crazy to think he was only 16 at Baker 3. I was at the premiere and afterwards outside of the theatre he had a MOB of people jumping on him, congratulating him, hyping him. Me and my buddy then saw Jim Greco who looked more than pissed lol. Antwuan's part was insane and obviously the room went nuts.

We also saw Torey Pudwill at one point in the night after the premiere, walking through a parking garage. He was alone, slouch walking (like with a limp) and was honestly looking shady as fuck. His beanie was half hanging off and his jacket had a shoulder on and a shoulder off (like your highscool girlfriend when she would wear your jacket) He smiled and nodded to us and slouched off into the darkness.

Side Story: One time (at another premiere) I saw Steve Berra at a Subway. Didn't stick around to see what he ordered though :-/ He brought Sean Malto along.

Hahahahaha his favorite movie is the Devils Rejects, that was such a curveball, so fucking random and unexpected. I lost it when Chris said he’d never seen it and Big Candy was like “whaaaatttt???” With some authority, as if he expects everyone to be familiar with that shitshow. I love this so far, it’s exactly what you think it’s gonna be, but so much more. Plus it got me all nostalgic for 2005, he truly came out of fucking nowhere when Baker 3 dropped, it was sensational.

wow i always thought it was just me being a skate nerd/conspiracy theorist but, i remember seeing a 'the skateboard mag' back in the day that had a sequence of antwuan doing a heelflip crook on the bump to bench he mentioned and p rod doing it switch in the same mag.. then a couple of mags later seeing a 2 page spread nike ad of prod doing a fs flip over a double set rail and sure enough the next mag after that had antwuan doing it switch in a spitfire sequence. i always wondered if that was just a coincidence and now it's official that it was indeed not.

We are all rooting for you, Antwuan. UNDENIABLE steeze. The Baker 3 part is a banger that lives up to all the hype. Also really enjoyed the Has A Deathwish section, he has never had a bad part. I said a few weeks ago he has one of the highest quality to quantity ratios in skating history. It also was humbling to see him sober here and tackle some serious demons. Despite that you can see his humor is there and it appears (and based off my short interactions irl) that he really is a solid dude.

Good episode, very heavy in terms of real life. Chris Roberts has really blossomed as a host (that may be controversial here) but it was Kelly Hart who really helped carry this one. Rog, on the other hand, had some pretty funny and just overall awkward interactions.

And, yes one of the best parts of skating is that it attracts all sorts.

Rick McCrank's Post Radical on Vice TV highlights this with his episodes on skate school, Palestine, Israel, the slalom scene with a 70 year old woman throwing it down, the downhill scene, the freestyle competitions that still go on, even the guys are way into fingerboarding up in Scandinavia.

Good to see Antwuan free. Glad he's back on his board.

I noticed something about this episode I hadn't noticed before. Roger and Kelly are much better listeners than Chris.

When Antwuan was talking about the death of his mom, you could tell you he wanted to talk about that, but Chris was interjecting a "yeah" or "right" everytime Antwuan paused to take a breath. Then Chris derailed the convo and asked Antwuan if he knew these other skaters. Antwuan then brought up his mom again in relation to those other skaters and how she was always there for them.

Eventually Antwuan kinda harped on how sometimes you are talking to someone and they don't really care about what you are saying.

Maybe I'm reading into it to much, but that's just what I noticed.

I always notice Chris does that in every episode. He never lets people finish what they’re saying befores he starts saying ‘yeah, right, for sure’.

Hes mentioned them before. There was the little interview when the "Minor setbacc for a major comebacc" board came out where Ellington and Reynolds said they would be skating as soon as he gets out. He mentioned later in another interview that it never happened. Things could have changed after that interview and before he got out. He does seem bitter about the whole thing and stressed his frustrations on leaving Es for Supra but in the end who knows. He might have probably ended up in the same spot had he got on Chocolate an stayed on Es.

Haven’t even listened to this episode yet but yup. Agree with all of y’all that he does seem to lack the skills to go deeper into conversation. He kind of gets uncomfortable when it gets past small talk/bullshitting/industry shit.

And you can tell its therapeutic for him to speak on such a tough subject,  only to be sidetracked

I'm thinking antwuan probably doesnt back crob too much right now

I liked that it seemed he's never watched a Nine Club episode before by the way he mentioned the switch flip manny video playing, but didn't really seem to know its significance on the show. Also, when he teased in on his Instagram, he says how they just wrapped up filming with Chris Roberts, Kelly, and the homie over here(referring to Roger), which makes me think he truly forgot his name or doesn't know who he is.

It is a bit of a bummer to see it seem like he doesn't want anything to do with Reynolds or Ellington and doesn't seem to give them much credit for helping him. I don't know the whole picture obviously, but it sounded like they tried for a long time to help him out and keep paying even during some of his jail time. An Antwuan return to Baker or Deathwish would be amazing, but that's seems a little unrealistic.

 they might have felt alright about it, i know i did. I felt like he was being real and it didnt seem like he was criticizing them at all. Hes a black man and its obviously meant something to him to have other black men as role models and peers, nothing wrong with that and doesnt mean he doesnt feel love for other skaters, he obviously does.

To me it was the streets talking to suburbia,a culture clash. They kinda geeked it when Steven Cales was on too. As said,when shit gets real Crob derails the conversation to something else,but I think his lack of attention/listening (compared to Kelly and Rog) fucks him up. Can't expect much other than what we get,but if Crob was on his shit he would've dug into Twan's feelings about his mom,some heartfelt shit could of come out. Overall this episode had me cracking up, and like most I look forward to seeing Antwuan progress

Totally get where twuan is coming from with the Baker/deathwish graphics, but at the same time the Baker image back then was that punk/drunk/outlaw shit anyway so he kinda just fit what they were already doing.

Cosign Crob being scared of feelings. Kelly coulda dig deeper or at least not steered away from real shit. Crob is funny and good sometimes but him and Kelly should tag team these interviews more so Kelly can do what Crob sucks at

It's not like Nakel or Ishod feel the need to pull that shit. We're all skaters, no need to play the race card so hard and kook yourself.

Where was all this black power stuff? I must have missed that.

Yes, please elaborate.
only things i can assume hes takes as black power references are when he started listing of all his fave skates and mentioned mostly black excellence. He also tripped out when he thought Roger said "White power" when he actually says wild power only things i picked up on not really anything

Y'all do know that this is edited right? So that jump from his mom to baker just might be edited that way. Bad, but still. This isn't the full conversation that's on there.

Ellington/Reynolds story is somewhat fuel for discussion. On one hand they gave him tons of cool chances and on the other hand he's right when he says he was marketed as skateboarding's 'bad boy'. But when shit really hit the fan there was no one there... they should have gotten this kid on rehab and gave him life lessons, but it did seem a bit like the old 'lemon - squeeze - drop' thing and can't imagine he was the easiest to work with either.

I think he's on the point where he finally sees that. I truly wish this guy the very best though, I always root for this dude and hope he'll get back some better sponsors (not that these are bad) and I hope he stays away from rats and leeches...

Undeniable one of the rawest and pure talent skateboarding has ever seen (Jereme as well... but we all know where that went)

This photo stoked me out.

Like I said, I may have been reading into things too much and Distant Rumours might have nailed it with an editing fluke that led to the visual / audio of Chris switching things up super fast. Then again, who knows. Discussing death with anyone is tough.

I do know I went on a first date tonight and caught myself interjecting between the person's statements because I wanted to show I was actually into what they were saying. I had to remind myself to just shut up and listen.

Anyways, like always, props to the 9 club for keeping these discussions going. I've still got 30 minutes left of this episode so I haven't heard Antuan's thoughts on where he was at with Deathwish.

I did think it could have been a less than ideal edit. It's just that it happened a couple of times. And in other episodes.

But whatever, that's just 9 Club's style I guess.

Also when Antwuan said that Gailea Momolu was his favourite skater, everything made sense.

I'm really happy that he seems to be in a much better place, but his shots toward Baker/Deathwish still seem like a way to dodge accountability. He complains that people judge him based on the things people see of him in videos, as if it's not valid to judge somebody by their actions. He reacted the same way with his Epicly Later'd and Skatetalk interview where the reality is that he was just doing him, and the cameras are telling what they see. I get where he's coming from regarding those companies glamorizing that kind of lifestyle, but find me another brand that would give him THAT many second chances.



Also Crob asking "what's your favorite stairset" is like the pro skater version of "what's your best trick?"

Please just accept that Chris Roberts isn't the Dude for "real shit". He obviously doesn't want to do it. Doesn't have the disposition to do it tactfully. He also feels like one of those dudes who would never step out of line and rub the "industry" the wrong way.

Very valid point, maybe they did hit that topic and Twuan got a bit emotional and asked them to cut it out. I still think it's a valid criticism to say the show steers away from heavy topics but that's their choice. Was still a great episode, hyped to see they followed through and skated yesterday.

He says it’s a mind fuck to be doing blow with your boss and then have them tell you to get your shit together, would put everything in a weird perspective. I kinda would have like to hear him talk about what he’d did in prison all day. Also liked how he said he could skate a session and then push home with a smile before all the bullshit covers you up again.

He literally says "Black Power" at 30min.


While he does seem to be in a clearer mindset, he is still externalizing a lot of his past behavior, which is not good for a recovering addict. Circumstances, people, nephew's suicide, mother, board company giving him mixed messages... that shouldn't be the narrative to describe past indiscretions.

I liked the guy that wanted Antwuan and Shaq to interview each other.  The bass would probably set off Richter scale warnings across California.

I started to get a little weepy listening to him talk about his mom.  I think a lot of people besides Chris would have handled that a little awkwardly.  What are you supposed to say to something like that?  Pretty heavy topic for a show about skaters bullshitting.

I couldn’t really see any of his facial tattoos, but I was watching on my phone.

The story of him seeing his Thrasher cover while running out of the grocery store was awesome.

Did anyone else immediately rewatch his Baker 3 part?  It’s funny how you can tell within the first .5 seconds that he is a special skater.

Great to see Antuwan is in a much better place then he was a few years ago. All I have to say is thank god he can still skateboard because im not sure what else he would be doing. Did anyone else find it extremely obnoxious how he was on his phone and you could hear it going off during the interview. I would love to see how he would act for a real job interview or during a work orientation. "Mr Dixon can you please put your cellphone away" "Fuck that bitch aint nobody tell me what to do but my moma"

Another thing I got was an underlying resentment towards Supra and Deathwish. "They called me in Jail and told me I was kicked off, I violated my contract and didn't read the fine print" Was Supra supposed to wait till he was out to break the news to him, hey were trying to build and maintain a brand image and you dont even skate and just go to jail constantly and he acts like they're bad guys for letting him go while he was in jail.

I wish nothing but the best for him, but I think he has a long way to actually being able to integrate into society.

Good question I didnt realize that but the impression I got from him wasnt "Oh hey it was totally 100 percent my fault I deserved to get kicked off all my sponsors"

Say what you want about deathwish but they did tend to glorify partying etc with other riders who managed to shape up and get sober. I honestly think hes using it as a scapgoat and wouldve gotten into trouble even if he have never started skating.

Just a general comment.  I don't think some of you realize these Nine Club shows are edited as fuck and way longer than they appear, and the parts are ran by the person being interviewed before editing, and certain parts are chopped out, and they still try to make it look like a smooth transition based on parts the person being interviewed decides to not include, and parts they decide to include.
