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.

He'll be out of it in a split second.

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.
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.

Dude is one of those people who just seems tiresome to deal with. The subtle black power ethos was totally unnecessary and didn't help anyone in the room feel comfortable. 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.

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.

He does say it but it's not in any hateful way. Fuck, hes literally sitting in a room full of white guys he clearly doesnt hate. Nothing wrong with being proud of being black

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.

I know right?  It makes perfect sense that he is Antwuan’s favorite skater too.

Also The Devils Rejects is a fucked up movie.  I had to turn it off and get in the shower.

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.

Why'd he ride for Straye if he resented Supra? Angel Cabada started Krew, the Straye, and Supra

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.

Nollie heel front tail ender on that hubba in his Logic part (was also an ad for NADIA FOOTWEAR lol) is fucking insane, forever.

Nollie heel BACK tail ender in Digital. Gailea rules. But yeah the nollie heel front tail stands out to me the most, very rare trick... especially on hubbas!

now i really want to hear Antwuan on ISUCK's Podcast and the Bunt. TOIA for the serious shit (and with the straye connection it's possible), and the bunt for the real skatenerd talk about specific tricks, from guys that i'm sure know his skating really well.

Ya it just gave him a real "uppity" vibe. It's so nice when black men know their place.
