Duane Peters wouldn't be good but it might be like watching the aftermath of a horrible car crash.
The experience is kinda lame, but I'll watch highlights in YouTube if they talked about something I care about. I think the lesser known industry people can be kind of cool. Just lots of different perspectives and funny stories involving some legends. Some of them suck, but if you don't like it ..... Just don't watch it lol.

There at least 5 people more interesting on here then the fucks of the experience. Slap collectively has a higher skate IQ then that whole squad and it’s not even close. Also this place has some of the funniest things I’ve ever read in my entire life. I agree mr. sauce.

I wouldn't be surprised if they already had episodes filmed with some of these people that they haven't released yet. They film so far in advance. I get the hate for them being kinda kooky sometimes, but getting mad at them because they haven't had the people you want on the show yet is just silly. That's a never ending anger train, you could always just find someone else to complain about them not having on. Using this logic, the show would never be good until it had on every single person that you wanted.....
No complaints by me. I dig both shows.Roger's input is the only one worth a fuck between them. Crob knows this, and uses his insecurity to silence him at times. He will say something sensible, and if crob deems it out of line/unmatched with his perspective, makes lowkey jabs at his slight speech impediment to make him repeat himself. Not all the time, but it's there. He's a sneaky rat, being around anyone like that would make one thirsty for a dozen beers.
I’d like more Roger input at times but whatever.
Bro, they should have the big cat on the nine club, except they’d have to change the name to the 10+ club to accommodate my humongous wang. Except they would have to make it a radio show, because my secret identity cannot be revealed or it would blow all your tiny, pathetic minds to see how glorious and handsome and smart I am. I could drop a Ted talk on those fools with my genius level, quadruple digit skate IQ. I’d teach them how to have a Dylan-esque kickflip, but only using my words, because if I actually let them see my Dylan flips, everybody in the world would quit skating, and the big cat could not live with himself after that. After all, when you can do 720 ollies on flat, you don’t need to prove anything to anybody. Ever. I’m having sex right fucking now. And I’m a fucking genius, just don’t ask me any engineering questions, because I’m not that kind of an engineer.
I can honestly say I’ve enjoyed every episode even as of late...the Ronnie episode was sick af...there’s been a lot of people I never even heard of but they always turn out be interesting af...you’re probably not giving them a chance.I find it hard to believe anyone enjoyed that Jason Jesse episode. I couldn't make it 5 minutes.
Also there’s over 700,000 podcasts on the Apple OS..just listen to something else
you guys are insane and probably don't have a clue of what it takes to organize something like this
even the neal mims episode was entertaining
The highlights infuriate me because they do actually well done in terms of production video reviews, but with people whose skate IQ is just not there. It’s like seeing professional level tape inside an NBA half time game, but instead of Gregg popovich or brad Stevens breaking down the footage it’s a fucking D2 college coach rundown at best, at best.

Bro, the big cat doesn’t quote himself often, but when he does, he does it all the fucking time because the big cat is a well-sexed genius. I can’t even go on the experience, because it would just be Steezus giving me props for three hours straight on account of all the sex I make with an ebony goddess. I’m so highly educated, I can’t even spell right. You don’t even know how good the big cat is at organizing podcasts, because y’all don’t even go to raves and party hard like David Loy and the Big Cat. One time, the big cat took a big shot of sour puss and danced so hard that all the girls in Nyjah’s pool slumped over into positions of submission to demand court with my monumental, magnificent member. But that’s not how the big cat gets down, so I threw on my Lebrons, did a Dylan-esque kickflip out the door while ejaculating everywhere, and rode home on a trail of jizz like the silver surfer. Andy Anderson is the next Dylan Rieder.

TK had an interview, was he not Shalom’d at that time? And pretty sure they said something about Figgy saying how he hit his dome too much filming for an interview. Need Fred Gall and J Strickland.
ironically the 9 club has become the biggest bunt in skateboarding. From muska to ragdoll to a bitter shop owner blatantly lying for 3 hours and claiming hes putting LA on his back despite also admitting nobody really fucks with him.
The Bunt needs a video component, Vans has some extra money from cancelling all events for 2020 give it to those guys. There would be no reason for the nine club to exist if this happens.
Not sure how anyone listens to the experience. A bunch of insanely uninformed adults (including one who calls himself steezus christ) arguing over really dumb shit but somehow all being wrong. Roger has checked out entirely and is just riding the wave of $1 donations in hopes of winning a darkstar board or some garrett hill pants. ya blew it fellas. the whole beagle smoking meth at the spot shit was pretty funny though but not in a good way.

The most entertaining episodes for me have been the older guys but it seems like they need older hosts to interview them properly. Roger probably has the highest skate IQ but I want to go deeper down the wormhole of 80s skate history
If they let me wear a full lion suit and not reveal who I am to them, then I’d be up to do a nineclub.
With over 25yrs of skating in me, I had honestly never heard of Dom.
Got to say this was a good episode. Like someone said, it’s guys like Dom who are the industry and he doesnt candy coat all of it. I feel his comments regarding vans and supreme are warranted and its good to hear someone shine light on them like that. I’ll take the hollywood celeb talk and coy fish with a pinch of salt.
I reckon Lev would be a good guest just because he’s a skate rat at heart and knows a lot about the industry and the world outside of skating. Fuck a ton of companies are playing catch to how he played the game.

I too have backside flipped El Toro
The only way to fix that show is upping the quality of guests.
Anyone can spew a good wish guest list...Jeremy Klein, Ronnie Bertino, Stranger, Smolik,Kareem and Chico would be mine.
I've said it before, but it went down hill (in my books) when they tried to make a living off of it. Its like a paid advertisement now. Pals questions is way better.
they cant hit a bullseye every time, and they cant please all the people all the time either. Sure I've skipped through a few recent episodes but the Ragdoll interview was decent.....and the Dom Deluca episode posted this week is very entertaining, especially seeing as he is unable to self edit......makes a nice change to hear someone let rip. Having said that they do need to pull out some big guns occasionally........but I think it would be a mistake to start having actors or musicians on.....People here just do not like the fakeness. we like authenticity all skateboarders do that is why we way in so heavy when we are compared to sports and shit like that.

The only time these are any good are when the guests carry the interview. A good interviewer can get good copy out of nearly anyone. Not these cunts*. I can't listen to a full episode anymore, despite rampantly ingesting most skate media.
*I honestly don't mind them as people (besides Shitbird Christ), they just can't do this properly.

I concur. Mr Roberts is always derailing the flow with some tangential throw-away comment.
They fucked up by making it weekly and not having seasons. They're chasing content constantly and I think that's why half their guests are sub par

I think it’s solid that they are sorting their shit out to make sure everyone is safe before continuing. Even if this is a lie. (Which I doubt cause crob seems to take this seriously as everyone should) they go heavy with no off season let them have time off.

They didn't even put up a post or anything saying there wouldn't be an episode last week like they've done in the past. But yet they still had an experience episode minus Kelly. I have a long commute so yeah I'll play it until they start watching videos. That's lame AF for podcast listeners. ha.[close]
I agree this is fishy, first Rog leaves and now this. They are perfectly capable of running the show under lockdown from their individual apartments, they did it for ages earlier in the year.

Rog didn't leave the show completely. They said they started to film these shows live so he's in the other room controlling the camera switches and whatever else. He still has a mic where he chimed in on a few episodes.
Maybe they realized the live shows were a bit harder to do than they anticipated?
Didn’t realize how long that was. Don’t read that

Kelly’s too happy but maybe I’m just a miserable fuck.

At the end of a recent episode Jeron mentioned starting a Garage Days style thing, where he would sell some of his personal memorabilia, and invited the other guys to join in. It led to a pretty cold moment from one of them towards Jeron, but when I went back to find this episode to share it I couldn't. Maybe someone else can.

At least it tells us Jeron's weed vape company 'Blonde' isn't crushing.
To Steezus' credit, when the idea if chucking a Jamie Thomas garage sale came up, he was the only one to object, he got glassy eyeballs from Jeron after he yelled 'Hell No!'
I'm no steezus fan club but I take offence to you guys calling him an outsider. Cos it makes us all outsiders. His skating was 2nd layer pro ho level, he fucked his back skating (i think) and the guy has a part on youtube with manual combo tricks etc. Thats not an outsider, thats just another skate rat punching above his weight division. His holy-er and wiser than though attitude is gonna rub a lot of ppl the wrong way, but the show already has the agreeable stoned nice black guy personality filled.

Steezus is generally a broken clock but he’s 100% right here about them whoring themselves out in a desperate cash grab.

Also, one can look at the garage sale thing as sharing memorabilia with the skate community, instead of hoarding it. It's not just going yourself out. There is such thing as different perspectives.
Took me awhile to put my finger on it.
They have let their “characters” become their identity. Nothing interesting, just bad acting.

So as I mentioned I'm a big Stern fan...and I've listened pretty regularly over the last 15 years. I have also read all the Stern books and Stern staffers books...including Stuttering John's and Jackie the Jokeman's. I do wish Fred "the man from Mars" would write a book... but I digress
Stern has definitely left money on the table in the past, but he's always done it for the benefit and integrity of the show. At some point in the shows history, one of the staffer's wanted to get Stern to license T-shirts for the show. Stern could have easily turned a profit of something like $400,000 overnight but decided ultimately against it.
In his words he didn't want to cheapen the show with gimmicks and knick-knacks. Unfortunately, Crob and Crew will never reach the heights of the Sterniverse...and truly no one really else could either---unless you factor in all the conservative radio talk show hosts: Limbaugh, Hannity, Glen Beck...etc...and all of those hosts, just like Alex Jones...sell tons of merchandise and products for fans.
In sum, Crob and company should take the deals on the table when they come. Because they are not in same limelight as Stern & Limbaugh. Nor will they ever be, nor do they claim to be.

The problem is he always says “Paul” when referring to P-Rod with a certain intonation that echoes “I’m his friend I know him” and that’s always going to rub me up the wrong way.

this is half right in my opinion.
its not steezus by himself (i like steezus), its too many flavors on the plate. too many people jumping in, too many opinions, the show is kind of mushy. i don't really feel "connected" to them any more. i don't listen as hard anymore. i like all of these guys individually but together its too much. the show is cluttered and the episodes blend together.
the trinity of CRob as a guiding star, Rog as the grounded straight-man, and kelly as the feelgood relief was perfect. the balance was great. the flavors were sharp. it was easy to understood their relationships and opinions. they each had there very distinct personalities and it was easy to learn which voice to follow.
adding LD to the second show worked because he's really good at understanding when less is more. he knew when to fall back, and how to let the show flow around him. he was very defined and complemented the others.
putting on steezus on when LD wasn't there was great. it felt fresh and new. He was a nice funny surprise. Very different than LD but great in his own way, unlike LD he moved the flow of the show, kept it feeling sharp. Steezus was also great at pushing the show to be more "professional" and engaging the fans and egging on fan contributions. he added real value. I credit him with pushing the "second" show past the main show in content quality. However adding Steezus full time made the mic a little crowded. it was hard to know whose voice to follow. there was a lot of voices being pushed down. a lot of half finished sentences. there was less opportunity to build a para-social relationship with the people you were listening to (which is where the show excelled the most ) but the show was still working and working very well.
When Jeron started filling in as a guest host, it was a cool surprise and didn't disrupt too much because it was still 4. Jerons episodes were like a "special adventure episode" . you were being introduced to your friends' friend and that was cool. it was a nice break from the regularity and it was manageable. Adding him full time though made the issue of overcrowding into a real problem. it completely drowned one of the most valued voices out of the equation. No ones voice could come to the surface. It no longer feels like Chris' show. it no longer had direction and personality. its just a "bunch of dudes hanging out" which sounds great in concept-- but doesn't make for compelling listening. on top of that Jeron bridges all the personalities together too closely. he lessens the separation between the voices and opinions which makes it even more mushy.
the other issue is that the bunt is getting better and better and better. this season of the bunt is by far the most listenable season to date. the voices are crisp, the separation of personality is clear, Cephas and Donovan are flowing together cleaner than ever, the pacing is perfect. They never step on each other. they are bringing out the best in each other. that show is a sauce that's simmered and reduced down to perfection. its flavor is so clear. with the bunt growing up and improving so dramatically its hard not to notice the issues the 9club is having.
when the show first started i was a fan. a big fan. i was a patreon member, i bought the merch. it was first priority podcast when episodes came out. i 'engaged" with the show. i looked forward to new episodes. i slowly fell off right around the time Jaron was coming on as a regular because i don't feel like i'm missing anything if i miss a show or two. I'm still a fan and i think the show will continue to be one of the marquee skateboarding podcasts for years to come. i'm absolutely not saying "fire everyone" and go back... but i am hoping that once the lock down ends Chris will do a main show with just the trinity and play with with substitutes and line ups for the second show. Maybe make the big get together a once a month thing and rotate out one or two of the other 3 every week.

Jerons episodes were like a "special adventure episode" . you were being introduced to your friends' friend and that was cool. it was a nice break from the regularity and it was manageable.

the other issue is that the bunt is getting better and better and better. this season of the bunt is by far the most listenable season to date. the voices are crisp, the separation of personality is clear, Cephas and Donovan are flowing together cleaner than ever, the pacing is perfect. They never step on each other. they are bringing out the best in each other. that show is a sauce that's simmered and reduced down to perfection. its flavor is so clear. with the bunt growing up and improving so dramatically its hard not to notice the issues the 9club is having.
when the show first started i was a fan. a big fan. i was a patreon member, i bought the merch. it was first priority podcast when episodes came out. i 'engaged" with the show. i looked forward to new episodes. i slowly fell off right around the time Jaron was coming on as a regular because i don't feel like i'm missing anything if i miss a show or two. I'm still a fan and i think the show will continue to be one of the marquee skateboarding podcasts for years to come. i'm absolutely not saying "fire everyone" and go back... but i am hoping that once the lock down ends Chris will do a main show with just the trinity and play with with substitutes and line ups for the second show. Maybe make the big get together a once a month thing and rotate out one or two of the other 3 every week.[close]

this is half right in my opinion.
its not steezus by himself (i like steezus), its too many flavors on the plate. too many people jumping in, too many opinions, the show is kind of mushy. i don't really feel "connected" to them any more. i don't listen as hard anymore. i like all of these guys individually but together its too much. the show is cluttered and the episodes blend together.
the trinity of CRob as a guiding star, Rog as the grounded straight-man, and kelly as the feelgood relief was perfect. the balance was great. the flavors were sharp. it was easy to understood their relationships and opinions. they each had there very distinct personalities and it was easy to learn which voice to follow.
adding LD to the second show worked because he's really good at understanding when less is more. he knew when to fall back, and how to let the show flow around him. he was very defined and complemented the others.
putting on steezus on when LD wasn't there was great. it felt fresh and new. He was a nice funny surprise. Very different than LD but great in his own way, unlike LD he moved the flow of the show, kept it feeling sharp. Steezus was also great at pushing the show to be more "professional" and engaging the fans and egging on fan contributions. he added real value.

I recently checked out 5 or 6 episodes of The Bunt after seeing it get so much love on here. I thought it was just okay. I'll definitely keep listening but it doesn't flow very well. The questions feel pre-written which makes the interviews disjointed. I get the appeal, the hosts have great personalities but sometimes at the expense of crowding out their guest.
Crob et al are vanilla but that's not a bad thing for an interview show. Guests on the 9 Club often speak uninterrupted at length which is a hard thing to pull off as a host. Treating them with kid gloves and getting them to feel comfortable is a big factor in making that happen. Big personalities are given the space to do their own thing (Marc Johnson and Dill's episodes are good examples) and if someone wants to talk shit it's not like they get stopped. I prefer that to someone being prodded into firing off a controversial hot take for a soundbite.
I do think the 9 Club has suffered a bit from not having guests in studio, but going back to older eps reminds me of why the formula worked.

Crob and the boys have had some success with their format and I've enjoyed some episodes immensely. Andy Howell and Ian Michna are two that stand out for me. But their format gets old and you can tell they just shy away from anything controversial, which is fine, but it gets boring. Also, some of their guests have literally nothing interesting to say and their kid-gloves and zero research approach does very little to get a guest to open up. It's also really annoying to hear Crob talk about how he barely skates. Like, we get it, you're a lazy pro that doesn't actually love to skate but you ended up with it as your job, so you do it. That being said, I have been enjoying his recent stoke on curb skating. Hope it continues.
Some of the bunt questions are pre-written and that's a good thing. It means they did research and have pointed questions to make for an interesting interview. They do a shorter format than the 9 club, so it make sense to have pre-written questions so that interview time is used effectively. They also let them go off if the guest wants to. I also like that the Bunt doesn't seem to pander to the industry nearly as much. The nine club is often just one insulated cali skater talking to another insulated cali skater, and they both have no idea what the rest of the world is like, even if they travelled a bunch.

have I mention before that I like the nine club. I'm sure that I have
I'm old and all of my friends have moved away gotten married or have passed away. I still have friends but not a skate crew
The nine club feels like when your friend from the neighborhood over brings the skate video that you and your neighborhood friends have been wanting to watch. Dad orders pizzas or cheese burgers and you have a night hanging with your skate buds talking skate stuff and shit talking with each other. The kind of nights when your best friend gets the nick name Rabbit because he says he fucks like one and everyone knows he has never fucked anyone but himself.

Sometimes they cannot make it clearer that they put zero effort into the weekly guest. Nothing personal to him, but I don’t think most people really give a rats ass what Rick Kosick has been up to in the last few months.
Also, they have zero consistency with their Covid precautions. For the main show, they don’t have people in person for the time being to play it safe (totally understandable and respectable), yet they still have extra in person guests on the experience (I.e Dilo after he went pro).
To be clear, I’m in favor of playing it safe with the pandemic, but it almost seems as if they’re using it as a convenient happenstance excuse to not have to find new guests for the main show.

I’ve thought the same thing. Saying they’re unable to have guests on the show, but then damn near every other week they have someone stop by.

Him wanting to make it so much more clearly shows his lack of priority to skateboarding. Plus idk if it’s a California thing but his condescending through the teeth convos drive me nuts
Rogers skate nerding brings a lot but clashes with Crob doing his Howard stern impression.
Dubs could do a show that would be everything the nine club should be, easy.
Kelly is awesome. Humble dude, what you see is what you get. Best dude.
Dropping the monetization driven model they’re going towards (and dropping Crob) would be the fix, but then why do the show? Probably why they’re the only show that’s reached their level.
I crush podcasts all day at work so I listen a lot because they have the most/best content and access to the best pros but when you break it down, it isn’t really saying a lot.Crob is under the impression that there is some non-skateboarder audience that they can tap into. Right now they're either at their peak or past their peak with their audience. Non-skateboarders don't give a shit about skateboarding personalities unless its Tony Hawk. I'm not gonna listen to a podcast about rugby because I don't care about rugby and the personalities in rugby. Skate podcasts are the same way. I hope they realize that, but if they don't and keep going down this path at least the Bunt is doing what the Nine Club used to do.

I get what you're saying but they're making a youtube channel, not a podcast. The youtube algorithm is a nightmare to navigate and the smallest things can significantly impact your bottom line (and consequently ability to continue with your project).
The dominant players in skateboarding on Youtube are shit like Braille and Revive that exist to churn out low effort clickbait garbage. If it takes making weird thumbnails/titles and not swearing to get 9 club interviews in front of kids instead of videos of a 40 something scientologist drilling trucks onto a toy lightsaber or whatever, I'm all for it.
Despite its flaws, the 9 club is one of the few popular channels on Youtube that seriously promotes skateboarding's history and culture. It's good to have all of that available on a platform full of kids who might otherwise never break out of the Revive/Instagram nightmare parallel skate universe. Not to mention how incredible it's going to be 10-20 years from now to have an extensive oral history of skate culture freely available online (side note: I really hope someone is archiving all of the Epicly Later'ds, I wouldn't be surprised if Vice just disappeared one day) .
I hate to break it to you but a lot of the episodes are already gone. Most of the eps up on YT are fan reposts. EL doesn't even have a Wikipedia page let alone an episode guide. Vice has never done much with this show after producing and putting the eps on the platform dujour. The state that the Guy episode is in is pretty fucking tragic.Expand QuoteI crush podcasts all day at work so I listen a lot because they have the most/best content and access to the best pros but when you break it down, it isn’t really saying a lot.

all the best epicly laterds were dine before vice bought it from patrick. he used to just do them and put them on his blog.
when vice started VBS.tv they bought EL and fucked it up by consolidating whatever they could and just straight up removing episodes. i think the pops episode was the last one he did before VBS, and it was 10 parts. now i think its like one video just over 10 minutes so it could be monetized.
most of them are fucked up, missing huge portions, or just straight up gone.

Maybe I'm just playing devils advocate (and might have made this point before, or just thought about it, i forget) but i think the nine club without Chris would have flopped out the gate. His enthusiasm keeps it from dragging, he keeps the pace moving and provides contrast to the other hosts, sure he's annoying and i think sometimes he plays dumb so the guest can tell a well known story in their own words, adding minutes and potential revenue to each episode. I also think he often really is using some dry humor that flies under the radar. If the nine club was geared to what we slappers want to see it would have less than 2% of it's current viewership, and wouldn't have the clout to get the range of guests they do. His tv show presenter schtick makes it more palatable for normies. Clicks from normies pay bills.
Without him it would just be:
Kelly: hi guest, glad you could make i- Wow! That's so cool!
Eldy: I'm uhhhhhh dipshit
Kelly: laughs *sips milk*
Steezus: why am i even here
Rog: *sneers, sips Stella*
Guest: ummmm
classic moment when Eldy tells Steezus he will hug him after the show, and then later urges everyone to be safe.....I like these guys but they are as dumb as a sack of spanners........( or wrenches if you prefer )
side note - I think Kelly has a decent chance of making the jump to regular TV sports stuff......the camera likes him.
yeah i mean IF they payed him, cool. Action Bronson was 95% of the network at one point and he wasnt getting paid. even if they did pay rick it was likely a fraction of what hes owed. Vice cannot continue without tons of interns doing work for free bc theyve been convinced it will "get them exposure." and idk if you ever watched it, but that show fucking sucked. tons of potential but vice managed to fuck it up, the one episode with the kids who think they are ghost hunters was like watching someone larping out a southpark scene making fun of ghosthunter shows. even mccrank was making jokes about them being weirdo spacecase foodcourt kooks, and that dudes the most PMA out.
dont remember where i read it, but basically mccranks take on the whole thing was that vice pitched it like a "traveling around the states to skate" but what it turned into was meeting up with kids who really miss specific foodcourts, and theye not joking.

"for today's guest we have Rick Reynolds!"
They had Josh Stewart on a few weeks ago for a stop and chat. I don't normally watch, but I really like him and Theories, so I did. It was crazy how little they knew about him and TOA, they spent a good portion of the show re-hashing stuff they covered the first time he was on there. Even Josh at one point said something along the lines of "man I should have assigned homework before I came on." It was disappointing.They live in the SoCal pro-skater bubble. When they were active, they rode for one of the biggest and most respected brands around in the case of Jeron, Eldy, and C-Rob. Outside of Rog, they are pretty oblivious. It's interesting when they have someone from their circle of the crailtap family or who they have a history with.
I love how the Nine Club has been on for half a decade and
a) People still complain that the show is scared to ask the real questions;
b) People still complain that La Crob doesn't do any research beforehand and

The show makes me get back into the art of skating. In terms of filming parts.[close]
See the dude above saying the Bunt guys sound like try-hards. They do. Their whole technique and how they sound and the shit they say that isnt a direct question ruins the experience for me in the same way Chris NOT preparing for jackshit on the Nineclub ruins it for me. The bunt guys are a cringy bore. The Nine Club doesnt even try. Both are awful.
They could get better guests if they tried. I stopped paying attention. The experience really is boring, they just argue about the dumbest shit.Expand QuoteI mean there is only so many people to interview. They probably should have kept the show to twice a month to make the content last longer.[close]
Yeah and then they get on their California high horses about the trendiest controversy the liberal media is pushing that week in order to fill up a half hourI mean yeah California right, even the freaking horses are high
I really liked Tim O'Connor's podcast. He's kind of disappeared from skateboarding a bit these past few years though and maybe he's over it.
The Bunt by far the best skate pod. I like Vert Button sometimes. Nine Club I can’t make it through more than a few minutes these days. I think it’s getting worse.
I noticed Crob has dropped the cap recently.
Looks fresh as hell.

Does he not wear hats anymore?
I swear to god that did my head it this fucking panel and they’ve all got stupid caps on
Anyone over the age of thirty that wears those stupid hats is a tosser. Cunts just get used to it and it becomes part of their identity and it’s fucked
Shameless plug but All My Skatevideos is sick.
I've always been a hat guy but this thread (and others) inspired me to stop shaving my head with clippers and wearing a hat all the time, so I went to get a proper haircut. Problem is I've been doing this so long i don't know about haircuts so the barber says "what are we doing today" and i say "i don't know, make me look good" and he just looked at me like I'm an asshole.
Still, I'm happy with the result, so thanks everyone

Cant imagine doing a podcast focused entirely on skateboarding multiple times per week... I’m surprised they have stuck at it this long.
I still occasionally have the 9club on in the background while i do shit around the house and cant help but feel like Jeron is unable to form real opinions or sentences. Almost all of what he said is either single words like buttery, smooth, floaty etc, or equally small catchphrases like 'lets get it' or whatever, or he simply repeats a sentence someone else has just said. Sure, sometimes he manages fo create a sentence all by himself but its pretty rare.

Conspiracy theory: Crob was balding and wore a hat to cover up. The podcast was a desperate attempt to be able to afford plugs. It paid off, and now he's triumphantly flaunting the baby chimp hair he had surgically installed on his dome.

Old_Dawg mentions not being able to do a pod focused around skating multiple times a week, and being surprised they're still at it. I responded by mentioning it's not like they are doing anything else, which last time I checked they aren't, so that isn't even really throwing shade. You're the one that got oddly defensive and came at me about getting clips. Tried throwing shade at me saying I'm doing nose slide flop shuvs and when I produced something of a higher caliber than said noseslide flop shuv you told me it wasn't a fakie tre fakie manny from 6 fucking years ago. My shit isn't getting me any checks or product but at least it's from a few weeks ago, within the calendar year.
Again not saying they aren't/weren't talented in their own right. Just an off handed comment they don't have shit else going on, which I stand by.

Yeah cause a bitch is the lesser right

Caps are different cultural signifiers in australia. the traditional Aussie lowlifes like bogans, ockers and ferals have a sort of rare unity with each other and the upper class poshos and wankers in hating the newer Aussie lowlife culture, the cap wearing "Eshays"
In the USA everyone just wear cap all the time, from cops to grandpas to sports guys and even sorority girls and moms. they dont really "mean" anything.
Brother everyone stole nautica and ralph shit back in the day even here I just mean if you got a job and shit as an adult it’s a weird look
I’m not talking shit anymore clearly we all got a difference of opinion and that’s ok with me

And you have? Foh.
Wtf is up with the Nine Club? Laying down history. That's what's up with the Nine Club. The Grosso interview. The 5 hr. long Vallely interview. Lance getting misty eyed. Dollin drinking 15 beers. These will live on forever. Y'all would rather have a blank page where the Nine Club is. Wtf is wrong with y'all?[close]
You mad? I guess if you enjoy the most vanilla history this would be the place to find it. I could honestly live in a world without skate podcasts at all. And as a matter of fact I have been getting some clips, just don't need to hop fences as school yards aren't really an east coast thing.[close]
Bro, it ain't 60 minutes. It's not Crossfire. It's "Hey, how did street skating start?" to the dudes that FUCKING STARTED IT and letting em go. You'd rather have a blank page.
I would have bet 10,000 doge you were from the East Coast. What's your latest clip? Backside noseslide to drop shuv out?[close]
Nah, noseslides are a worthless trick
Last thing I filmed was this line that I probably wont even use cause I rolled into the dirt. But fuck me for wanting to put out mediocre street part at 35

The nine club is whatever. I don’t watch it but I don’t care that they do it. They seem to skate those Venice curbs so that’s cool. You know history, they paid their dues, yada yada yada...
The real thing I’m concerned with in this thread is I’ve never heard it was an issue to wear hats as an adult. You all got me worried that I look likeg some kind of ding dong over here. I don’t wear one to work but I often where a hat while skating. Am I blowing it? Does it make me some sort of Peter Pan?
On a real note, most of us probably dress pretty “young” when skating and would dress that way more often if we didn’t have real jobs. I also think it is becoming more normal for older people to run younger clothing trends.
did steezus get kicked off the nine club? hes been missing for weeks and rog has been in his spot. I dont mind as rog is way more knowledgeable. and thought this would be a good place to ask, maybe they addressed it in a green room or something that i missed

Rog’s autistic ass is so bad on the interview shows. He always interrupts the guests in the middle of stories with pointless comments or questions.

Unpopular opinion but outside of some obscure 80's/90's references, Roger seems generally pretty ignorant of the modern era in skateboarding. He's better served working behind the 'scenes'.
Do you guys watch because you hate it? You must watch it to know if they are still doing the same stuff, right? I enjoy it. The bunt dudes just sound like some suburban nerds trying to sound hard.
Rog rules, and ignorant?
I think he's just really busy with other cool stuff that makes it a bit harder for him to catch up?
The dude films shows with the biggest celebs, still skates quite alot, runs a warehouse, has his own show AND has a lady.
And you're flaming the guy for not being in touch with every skater out there ... sheesh.

Yo it’s dJonez and da ghost. Them Phoenix Suns went off this week, ya dig. My fantasy team lookin fly as hell boys. Antsone hittem with the hip hop horn (burr burr burrrrrr)
I honestly used to hate The Bunt, buts it’s really grown on me. There’s definitely been some funny moments/stories on the show and love hearing the shit talking.
Should be called "the hat club for men-children". I posted some one off comment on they're Louie stop n chat and the kooks removed it and blocked me from commenting on they're vids. Literally all I said was "I've always loved Louie but man he's too old to be finishing his dad's whiskey and refilling the bottle with tea hoping he wouldn't notice. Might need to ease up for a bit"
Guess I triggered Roger and got him all self-conscious about his own alcohol dependency because in the next ep he brought up the "negative comments" from the last vid and said "if you're going to come here and post something negative that's fine but you're going to get blocked.". Dude's a washed up pathetic lush. Filming hot one's though, what a gig.
Valid constructive criticism: Chris is terrible all around; you can't fix that, but what you can do islearn to end a show. The episodes I've heard all start to end around 45 minutes to and hour before the podcast actually does. Chris starts saying crap like, "welp it's been so amazing chatting with you, you're my hero, I wish we could talk all night but we probably should wrap it up here..." and proceeds to ask more dumb, unthoughtful questions, sprinkling in a another "welp, thanks for coming on, you're my favorite promise..." for another hour.
Can't even listen to it when it's someone I actually care about because of Chris's inability to fill his role adequately. I heard Chris bring up that Stern and Rogan don't research for their interviews as justification for why he knows so little about his guests. Just pathetic. Whatever you need to tell yourself to sleep at night pal.
If you really want cringe check out Christ's shoe show on fueltv some time. He sits down with fat slob shoe collector's and hufs their farts as they stream out from the plethora of holes of their $300 "distressed" designer jeans.
As a giant Stern fan over here, Stern meticulously research's his guests. He pays lots of people to do the research for him. But he never walks into a interview blind

This is true. Stern makes sure to do his research which is why people are saying he is one of the best interviewers ever. He even hits on topics where the celebrity is totally shocked how he knew that. If CROB is a stern fan, he should know this.

With humble beginnings originating from Kansas City, MO, DeWayne "Steezus Christ" McMurry is a living expression of what life looks like when you stay true to what you believe in and pursue your dreams.
From manifesting some of the most extraordinary opportunities, to withholding the composure to battle through unfavorable situations, DeWayne has been a genuine inspiration to not only his peers and individuals around the world, but has truly influenced an entire culture and inspired the new generation.
As one of the most known unknowns in the world of skateboarding, DeWayne's association with The Berrics, one of the world's most visited skate websites, introduced the general public to the "Steezus Christ" brand. His infectious personality and good energy was undeniable, and his 'public debut' on The Berrics created a cult following, which compounded DeWayne's positive influence on the culture over night. DeWayne’s been an industry figurehead ever since, effectively producing and creating content behind the scenes, whilst simultaneously maintaining a strong on-camera presence.
With an unwavering desire for knowledge, a non-stop positive outlook on life, and a contagiously uplifting spirit, DeWayne has not only been the ideal ambassador for a bundle of industry-critical brands such as New Era, Skullcandy, eS Footwear, and The Berrics, but most notably has transcended the skateboard industry to become a notable figure in the sneaker world and streetwear culture.
Under his mantra of "Don't quit your day dream", DeWayne is a reminder to all that dreams do come true and a lifestyle can become your job. DeWayne is a reflection of patience, persistence and conviction, of which he stayed true to himself and his beliefs. Thus, resulting in a character who is well-known globally for his passion to continue growing skateboarding ethically, and keeping kids all around the world uplifted and inspired.
DeWayne is one of the most recognizable digital media profiles in the industry, and is blessed to travel the world and engage the youth, investing his time simply to remind kids and his admirers not to quit their day dream. That said, it's clear that DeWayne’s ability to inspire others simply through his inherent character and way of living is due to his conscious efforts to stay grounded, and most importantly, spend time to reflect. This can be seen on a weekly basis on the globally recognized podcast, The Nine Club Experience.
DeWayne's delivery, both verbally and in action, is a demonstration that qualifies he lives by the advice he gives. Unquestionably respected by his peers, associates and corporate partners, DeWayne is a pure "by-product" of what a wholesome life in skate-boarding can create if one stays true to themselves and the culture that raised them. DeWayne’s embodiment of this testament is what makes him so valuable to the industry, of which he stands to become a legacy-profile that will never be forgotten.

I see they got Andrew huberman on the show tomorrow. I’m seriously disappointed that this is the skateboarding podcast that he goes on.. I feel like mostly skateboarding or vent city could actually have a meaningful conversation with him and ask good questions. Instead we’ll get Chris’ lackluster ass saying “wow bro…” because he’s intellectually unprepared to have a conversation with him..

Sounds like you were waiting for that moment of sweet eye contact so you could approach him. He’s not a costumed character at a theme park.
He probably wants to skate the curbs by his house without random wackos forcing him to make small talk about Kre-per trucks or who on Expedition had the best pants
Expand QuoteWhy do people not like Steezus? Genuine question, I'm not very up to date on this stuff.[close]
It’s probably because he is a grown man that goes by the name Steezus Christ and has that weird trying to be an influencer/media personality vibe.
My feedback for the nineclub is that they need to do research and come up with interesting questions to ask their guests. I don't give a fuck about how someone started skating... unless its a super interesting story. Also, challenging people and calling people out when they say something that doesn't align with reality. The show now is sooo formulaic. The Bunt, Talking Schmitt and even the Tony Hawk and Jason Ellis podcasts do it right.They don't need to do any of those things because they've found their audience and they are not interested in any of that.

It’s probably because he is a grown man that goes by the name Steezus Christ and has that weird trying to be an influencer/media personality vibe.[close]
This. He also has terrible takes/taste, seems to know very little about skateboarding outside of his narrow experience, and is basically a corny sneakerhead.

With humble beginnings originating from Kansas City, MO, DeWayne "Steezus Christ" McMurry is a living expression of what life looks like when you stay true to what you believe in and pursue your dreams.
From manifesting some of the most extraordinary opportunities, to withholding the composure to battle through unfavorable situations, DeWayne has been a genuine inspiration to not only his peers and individuals around the world, but has truly influenced an entire culture and inspired the new generation.
As one of the most known unknowns in the world of skateboarding, DeWayne's association with The Berrics, one of the world's most visited skate websites, introduced the general public to the "Steezus Christ" brand. His infectious personality and good energy was undeniable, and his 'public debut' on The Berrics created a cult following, which compounded DeWayne's positive influence on the culture over night. DeWayne’s been an industry figurehead ever since, effectively producing and creating content behind the scenes, whilst simultaneously maintaining a strong on-camera presence.
With an unwavering desire for knowledge, a non-stop positive outlook on life, and a contagiously uplifting spirit, DeWayne has not only been the ideal ambassador for a bundle of industry-critical brands such as New Era, Skullcandy, eS Footwear, and The Berrics, but most notably has transcended the skateboard industry to become a notable figure in the sneaker world and streetwear culture.
Under his mantra of "Don't quit your day dream", DeWayne is a reminder to all that dreams do come true and a lifestyle can become your job. DeWayne is a reflection of patience, persistence and conviction, of which he stayed true to himself and his beliefs. Thus, resulting in a character who is well-known globally for his passion to continue growing skateboarding ethically, and keeping kids all around the world uplifted and inspired.
DeWayne is one of the most recognizable digital media profiles in the industry, and is blessed to travel the world and engage the youth, investing his time simply to remind kids and his admirers not to quit their day dream. That said, it's clear that DeWayne’s ability to inspire others simply through his inherent character and way of living is due to his conscious efforts to stay grounded, and most importantly, spend time to reflect. This can be seen on a weekly basis on the globally recognized podcast, The Nine Club Experience.
DeWayne's delivery, both verbally and in action, is a demonstration that qualifies he lives by the advice he gives. Unquestionably respected by his peers, associates and corporate partners, DeWayne is a pure "by-product" of what a wholesome life in skate-boarding can create if one stays true to themselves and the culture that raised them. DeWayne’s embodiment of this testament is what makes him so valuable to the industry, of which he stands to become a legacy-profile that will never be forgotten.

I wonder if he manifested his gig on the Berrics by riding Malto's coattails in and inserting himself into every video he could until Berra kind of rolled with it. I feel like he did the same thing on the Nine Club. Just shoehorned himself into the experience and never left like the dude who shows up to a party and just tries to blend in, but then then starts making joes and entering conversations and has everyone asking themselves who the fuck brought this guy?

Don't mean to beat a dead horse here, but I didn't think this warranted creating a separate thread for, but if I hear Kelly Hart say "We don't have to talk about that right now...." one more damn time, I'm going to fucking lose it. The most recent one being last night's episode where they were discussing pros who have shoe colorways but no board sponsor. TJ Roger's name got brought up and Kelly shut that down real quick. The other example that comes to mind is when Manny Santiago apologized for some photo situation and Kelly hit em with the ol' "We don't have to talk about that" nonsense. What is Kelly Hart so afraid of? It's not like he has some epic skate career or anything. He even gets visibly uncomfortable when SLS scoring gets brought up. This just goes along with the criticism that the nine club gets for bending over backwards to prevent controversy. The other dudes definitely contribute to this, but Kelly takes it to the extreme. I know there are other instances, but I don't have the energy to go looking.He likes his job and his position in the industry and he wants it to stay the way it is

It's been said a zillion times across a zillion threads but why does anybody even want the nine club to get into controversial shit or have hard opinions? It's not what the show is.

I get what you're saying. My beef is how selective they are regarding the controversies they decide to discuss. For instance, remember how fired up Roger got about how filmers should be paid? I would argue that was a controversial topic and I have mad respect for Roger holding his ground on it.

If the skateboarding you’re being filmed doing holds weight then it’s partially your responsibility to make sure that your filmer is being compensated fairly and well. At least that’s how I felt during the time I had any sort of relevance.. Kurt hayashi filmed the majority of what I did that was used, I made sure that he got taken care of for it, that was probably the one and only reasons I could’ve justified dropping “ATM” for “Santa Cruz” ATM did kurt dirty on footage they used of me, that was unacceptable.. plus, kurt was family, plus he wasted plenty of time and money filming with me before my footage was usable in any sort of video that mattered..

Their responses are confusing. It sounds like things only worked out for Jereme Rogers because he was persistent and kept a low profile.

I know they would never come out and say this, but I have a feeling that they wanted to complain about the guy who barges the demo who, frankly, probably shouldn't.

The Experience show was better when they didn't do it live and they were in the chat when the episode aired. They also did away with choosing raffle winners out of the bucket at the end of the show so there is almost no interaction with the "community" anymore.

Matt’s return to skateboarding kind of fucked him up.. he’s always been pretty introverted, so pro skateboarding was always pretty awkward for him when it came to the social aspect.. I know that for awhile he was living in a tent in forest park, he’s got some pretty serious mental problems, but I really don’t mean to say that negatively because he’s been one of my best friends since I was 12 years old and it’s been sad, frustrating, worrisome and a lot of other negative emotions towards him at times, I was bummed that he didn’t show up to Kurt’s funeral but I get it, he’s genuinely such a good dude and he’s like a brother to me. So it’s definitely confusing but overall he’s an amazing person, it’s just unfortunate that he definitely has some serious mental problems that I wish he could find the right help for. So yeah, I don’t think he is doing too good right now, but he’ll find his way again sooner or later, he has in the past and I truly believe he will again.

I guess I am different and found it somewhat refreshing they had that convo. I think the answer to that is different whether you are the skater, the videographer, the viewer, etc. People spoke their mind and that is it.
The Rob Dyrdek ep was 15% interesting skate history and 85% insufferable quasi-spiritual/vision board entrepreneurial influencer pontificating with a dash of self-improvement speak (e.g. references to Andrew Huberman). Self-made man propaganda at its worst. Moreover, the Nine Club dudes are blown away by the simplest shit. "Dude, I was floored that you followed a schedule." That said, the skate bits were interesting.

Shout out my fellow brown brothers.
Roger said he didn’t care if someone wanted to use the same song in a new part not that he didn’t care in general.In the late 90s I had a short lived Film Music radio show and I intentionally avoided using pop music that wasn't written specifically for the movie for fear that a song woulda been ABD in a film I hadn't yet seen. This is a lot easier to keep to nowadays. As Jamie said there's a website and everything. The Jacksons wrote hella music.
The whole claiming a song for eternity doesn’t make sense anyway. Imagine if you made a movie and you wanted/needed to insert a certain song in a scene, but couldn’t or would be looked down upon if you did because it was already used in some other obscure film from thirty years ago. Generally sane creative people would laugh at that idea because that movie doesn’t “own” the song and yours is an entirely different project.
You want the Jackson Five playing over while you are skating in a video, go for it. It will probably turn out dope and you aren’t dissing Guy or Video Days. Hell, a lot of skaters didn’t and don’t even now choose their own music so who is exactly supposed to be bummed about it.
Anyone else notice how much Rob Dyrdek is beginning to look like Hasbullah as he ages?
Dyrdek episode was new heights of cringey for me. Not exactly a skate podcast if he doesn't skate, no? I get it that some would like to hear the history (from his perspective) of DNA, etc., but all the self-improvement "optimization" bullshit was too much to listen to. Throw in the self-aggrandizing tales of how much money Dyrdek made and the mention of his "gated home in Beverly Hills" and all relatability is out the door. That said, he didn't exactly seem like he cared about being relatable to the group in the room or any actual skaters consuming the content. Blah. Lame.
I remember listening to Kanye West on Rogan during his "presidential campaign" and at one point Kanye stopped talking, laughed at how full of shit he was being and then said something like "that shit sounded hot though right?"
Thats what Dyrdek's episode felt like to me
I find it really interesting his life’s mission is now to just film as many stupid episodes of grabbed regular clips from YouTube and put them on cable tv as possible so he can still get his 4% of life or whatever.but bro he’s rehabilitating his body to be able to teach his children to skate when they want to

All i know is that jerry said in his bunt interview that vern is the last person he wanted on the sesh and he wasn’t joking at all.
I had some coworker friends in town from the midwest, hadn't ever really been to LA. We wanted to do some touristy shit so I took them to venice beach, see all the weirdos on the boardwalk, go to the skatepark, buy some goofy shirts etc etc. I told them "oh yeah, we'll go to the venice curbs, there's always pros there I bet we'll see some" as a fucking joke.
Lo and behold, we skate over and it's the ENTIRE nine club crew and && having a session. so funny how that works out sometimes.
you got me curious so i did a deep dive on Mr Vernon Laird. turns out he was in the Philly 411 setting things off with 2 slams and a boardslide shove it. he delivered vegan pizzas on a bicycle before he moved west to join the industry. he did a 40 for 40 to celebrate skating into middle age. some of the tricks were lackluster. he beleives in woman's rights and his favorite sound is when someone sneaks up behind him or sees him across the street and yells Laaaiird!Expand QuoteExpand Quotehttps://youtu.be/YUKX1xkoduo

Jerry I think doesn’t particularly hate him, but listening to that interview again, it sounds like that a person in your life who has no intentions of doing anything malicious to you, but their presence brings that about. Jerry even Laughed at the end of that answer and seemed light hearted about it.
I do have to say, and want to be corrected otherwise, but isn’t there a nasty rumor about Vern doing some Brian Patch type shit? Not trying to put that on dude, and had a good time listening to this interview for a bit because he seems pretty passionate. I did drop half way tho, because I couldn’t escape the thought I had read some shit about this dude.
Also, Eldy the skate version of Malibu Most Wanted.

Last week folks finally seemed to take notice of how foul Ryan O'Connor is after I put a post up on Stoke Much IG. It was shared more than 12,000 times. Ripndip and Oconnor turned off comments on all posts, and a lot of people were messaging to share other stories.
Needless to say, the skateboard industry has no shortage of terrible people hiding out amongst the do-gooders. And I was told a few things that I can't ignore. One of them goes much further than shitty behavior though, and involves allegations of ongoing pedophilia that has been covered up at Powell.
Someone who I trust beyond a doubt told me that Vern Laird got busted having sex with an underage girl, it got covered up, and it wasn't a one time occurrence. My buddy who told me has no direct knowledge of the events, so
he can't help supply any info that would expose anything worth sharing. But somebody has to know.
If you have any info on that, or anything else you wanna share please email [stokemuchmag]{@}/gmail.com/
We will keep your identity private, and we won't be dissuaded by industry politics because we have no allegiances to the skateboard industry.

Also wish they would give him room to speak about leaving enjoi. They keep jumping in and talking over Zack.lol i listened to some of that and zach was talking about being a carpenter, chris goes “hey have you seen that guy who builds skateparks in rich people’s driveways?

If my best friend ends up being worth $200m, I hope he can find a makework job for me somewhere in his organization.
"Steezus Christ" is the most idiotic, cringeworthy, fuckwitty name skateboarding has ever seen, and/or will see.
1990 was the best year of skating I think. Doesn't Staab wear that number all the time or something? Like maybe it's a brand idk.

Had an episode of the Experience on because I like pain, and saw them watch Bryan Corria’s part. They all spent long drawn out minutes wondering why he doesn’t have a board sponsor and how he should be on Chocolate maybe, totally missing that he’s on The Heated Wheel. I get that there’s a lot of skaters out there, but it could be worth doing minimal research (say, looking through their first six or so instagram posts) on a skater before reviewing their part and publishing to the web.
looks like there is a (full family?) Bam episode coming..

Coming back from a back injury is serious business. An injury higher up the spine might heal properly, and it might fully be possible to skate again.
But in the lower-back? Forget about it.

6’4” here. My legs are so long it’s a struggle to sit in a lot of seating. I should probably be driving a lifted truck too the amount of times I’ve hit my head on the trunk.I’ve hated pick-up trucks for so long, but I’ve accepted that I need to get one or a big SUV. Tried of being cramped in sedans 😭
I’ll never forget hitting my head on the subway when I was in Asia a bunch of times. Although meeting a drunk old guy chainsmoking in the casino bathroom who just kept gesturing my height and smiling made up for any lasting brain damage.

I know some of you wont admit to listening to the show, but sometimes Steezus offers a different perspective too. All of these dudes have been enjoying the spoils of being pro so it is nice to hear someone who didn't have that luxury chime in from time to time to let dudes know they're tripping.

This is not the injury thread. I think Steezus used to really say some dumb stuff but he seems to have gotten a little better about it at least. He still says some dumb stuff but on smaller levels. Sometimes he actually says something smart. Can’t get past that name though. Looking forward to seeing Bam and his family on there, that should be interesting.

I like the skate vid reviews just so I don’t have to rewind or slow mo shit. Hating on the nine club is low hanging fruit, they got their little sponsors and do their little talk show for free. Meanwhile, there’s dudes sneakily making betwixt 99999 and a smooth million for “editing” a zine that’s mostly gone digital with sponsor generated content.

i think he might be cte or on pain pills. dude struggles for words more than a litttle bit. he didn't skate jamie sized obstacles but maybe he slipped out switch flipping onto 5 stair rails? if it's pills, intervention! like right on the monday show. just everyone heaping copious praise upon him while also complaining about his modern antics. what if instead of nice club, it was confrontation club and skaters got roasted, called out for cringe or substance abuse? 9 club turns heel.

If you want “hard hitting” questions, the closest you’ll get is The Bunt who have called guests out on stuff in the past. Thankfully they research their guests and still show respect where it’s due.

I hadn’t watched the show in a bit so I can’t say for sure over the general course of the show recently, but I did watch the clipper discussion and noticed the same thing. I don’t know about recently, but I remember Rog used to kind of get into with Eldridge too. And I really can’t blame them, seeing as Eldridge seems like that guy in the friend group who is so dumb he thinks he’s smarter than everybody else.
I’d personally be surprised if Eldridge and Kelly have 100 IQ points between the two of them, but in watching the show over the years, I have realized Eldridge is just next level stupid. Feels like there is a laundry list of idiotic takes from that guy over the years. My favorite being that it’s okay for companies to not pay their filmers because they should “do it for the passion.”

That is what would bug me the most if I was Mike Mo. That his career was cut short from an accident he caused. He mentioned on some episode that he never knew what it felt like to have your skills decline gradually. For him, it was just a fast complete 180.

Cardiel has had like 3 photos in the 20 or so years since he got hurt (understandably). Mike Mo’s injury is just as debilitating as far as skating goes. He’s lucky he can even walk. It’s not making excuses, he literally can’t skate anymore.
I totally understand just wanting to disconnect from skating completely after skating at such a high level. It’s gotta be like getting dumped by a girl you love and still having to see her everyday. Some people just need to move on.

When it come to Mike Mo, look at Andrew Allen, who used to be tech gnar in the early 2000’s. Switch heel front boards on handrails, switch big flips over gaps. Then he got injuries and became the bank charmer we know today.

comparing mike mo and justin feels a little off. i know they’re consistent contributors to the nine club so it’s convenient, but mike mo is actually paralyzed. he can’t even skate a curb, he can only do flat ground. eldridge could skate ledges, stairs, hubbas, etc with proper preparation. if mike mo hung up on a foot high ledge he could shatter his leg. to go from tech god to that has to be so upsetting you just look for another hobby at that point. i’ll always respect him for hanging up his board before girl wanted.Doesn't Justin have herniated discs in his back? That's not chill either.

Eldy's vibe has had it's own character arc. He used to be a fun space cadet. He was perhaps a bit unprofessional at times, especially in terms of missing the show a lot, but honestly I welcomed it because I think that irreverance is a good reminder to not take this shit too seriously. Crob started giving Eldy shit about it and Eldy never took it well, even though Crob didnt' seem to be mean spirited. Eldy's defensiveness seemed to totally fuck up his vibe, like he's in survival mode. I'm guessing there were off camera conversations about him losing his spot in the show especially because that seems to be in the air any time they are all there talking about someone who filled in for Eldy. For example, in a recent episode they are talking about how they wish Daniel was here and Eldy seems to take it as them wishing Daniel was there instead of Eldy. Hoping Eldy's vibes can complete the character arc and he can return to good vibes, having grown in the process.

I totally get where you are coming from. In the earlier days, his vibe was much different. Even playful at times. But ever since that fart situation that KGB mentioned, he just became salty and would get super weird whenever the guys would bring it up or randomly play the sound bite.

I'd love for somebody to touch on what happened with 3D in his own words.pretty sure one of those was nine club. This has to be one of those stop and chats where they get even less in depth
Brian looks so "vibrant" here. I don't know how to explain it, but it's meant as a compliment.going sober will do that
They were talkin' up Fred Gall, so get the cunt on already.

I can only imagine what it would be like to take Kelly to a stand up comedy show. I went to an improve show where a woman could not control her laughter to the point that most of the audience couldn't laugh cause they were so pissed.
I saw Crob at the curb spot in Venice that he and the other nine club folks are always posting on social media while I was on acid, it was really weird. From more than 50 yards away I saw his hat and his general figure and knew immediately that it was him; he turned and looked at me while in the middle of talking to someone and I could immediately tell from the way he looked at me that he knew I recognized him and that he had no interest in talking to me, which I was fine with. I was slightly past my peak, so I knew it wouldn't be good to walk up to him with my face basically melting off and half-heartedly tell him I dig his podcast when I haven't listened to an episode in months. I was tripping out on the fact that I was at that specific spot though, as I've seen Pack of Lies a million times, so in retrospect I kind of wish that I could have asked him about what it was like to buy boards out of the back of Chico Brenes' and Tim Gavin's cars 30 years ago in the adjacent parking lot to the spot. On an unrelated note, I also saw Skate Goat at Venice park and was tripping out on how buff that dude is. Also, his nipples are like an inch long, in the right circumstances it's definitely possible for someone on the other side of the curved fence/barrier thing that borders Venice park to reach out and grab one of his nipples as he's skating the snake run.Dude, goats have udders, not nipples.

Yeah the wheel would be almost perfectly in line with it on that, its like a 1/8 of an inch we are talking. I just prefer the opposite! I am just surprised how many people like to have their boards like that. I really like the wheels tucked in but I suppose it is actually less practical.

Listened to the recent episode with JT Aultz - it’s kind of shocking to me how little effort they seem to put into researching guests before the interviews.
One example:
Chris Roberts mentioned JT had a pretty injury-free career. JT proceeds to mention one fall where he broke his nose, teeth, and leg at the same time, before mentioning another where he had to get airlifted and put in a medically-induced coma.

Hey dog I hate to break it to you, but Rogan doesn't fly places to interview people. I've been listening to his show since it's inception and he's done maybe less than 5 interviews not in his studio.

Wait, isn’t he the guy that made a really suspicious gofoundme about his “stolen camera gear” and showed that he coincidentally had shot a video of all the stolen gear right before it was stolen? Then he cancelled the gofundme after people called that out and he “found” the gear shortly after.

Gotta listen to this one tomorrow...
I listened to 10-15 minutes, and indeed, it was just him blowing smoke up his own ass and not letting anyone else talk. When he implied that kids these days are just into freestyle bullshit instead of going fast, I knew this boomer was cooked and I was wasting my time.

That was really entertaining. Love a straight shooter. I love how he simply told them he wouldn’t wear their merch so didn’t wanna waste their time. It’s impossible to critique capitalist behavior without seeming hypocritical since we all engage in that behavior, but I agree with a lot of what he’s saying about brands having too much power or sway over the everyday skaters’ experience
"Banks and pools are skateboarding, not handstands or kickflips."
TA: Is that a quote of Glen Friedman?
Swashbuckler: Yeah.
TA: He can be a bit narrow minded. Glen is not a skateboarder - even though he dabbled in it. Glen is a photographer, first and foremost. And that's his opinion.
SP: He's never grinded a pool.
TA: Hahaha. Don't get us wrong, he's a good guy. We love him, but you know, he's a bit... opinionated.

EDIT: To be clear, I absolutely love his photography and own several of his books. Especially his skate photography, but his portraits as well.
GEF is basically the Forrest Gump of the skateboarding, rap and punk world of the 70's and 80's. The dude seemed to be everywhere all at once. Some of his opinions (especially of himself) are a bit over the top, but I also think that's part of his schtick. Take that part or leave it, but there's no denying his iconic photography. Anyone commenting "who" should do themselves a favor and look it up.True. Like him or not, he definitely is responsible for some of the most iconic album covers. He may have more in his portfolio than anyone else.

i'm old, so GEF's photography has had an indelible impact on me, and i'm grateful for it, but as Mike Watt says towards the end of We Jam Econo...
"everybody can't be born at the same time...some people are born before, some people are born during, and some people are born after. a lot of that is just circumstance. so what's really...the question is, what is to be done where you're at, and how you gonna do it?"

he kept alluding to supreme stealing from him, anyone know the story behind that?
Can you give a timestamp of when he starts talking about Supreme and Gonz?kinda subtle but i believe it's around the time when he starts talking about shooting with Steve and Alex Olson. he mentions he wanted to shoot a photo on Kodachrome with both of them and when they showed up and started skating Glen noticed AO had a "sticker" on his board and he refused to shoot them unless alex took the sticker off

Supposedly the Bad Brains collab - he shot the photos way back and the label gave Supreme permission to use them, apparently he'd already been paid by the label. He sued Supreme anyway i think.

Friedman reminds me of all my art teachers in community college. But to me when he kept saying stealing...Im pretty sure he's claiming the street art scene in general that Supreme uses as their brand.

I think I get what you mean but IMO it's technically a very good photo. Alex is framed perfectly, background isn't noisy, his hands make great leading lines that move your eyes across the frame, and the colors are very natural (something that is kinda lost in digital). It isn't anywhere near what, let's say, Matt Price normally shoots, but different strokes for different folks.

"Corporate work for the bands"? Dude was friends with these people and did not charge anything up front. He took the photos because he wanted to and got paid way later. The shoots were not done in any kind of corporate setting/terms. How is that corporate? And why should he not be paid for his work on the cover of extremely iconic albums.

I was also very confused by KGB’s statement.
KGB do you not see an equivalence in this proposition?
Whether GEF used his art on his own terms or not, he still provided his photographs to enrich a corporation. It’s no secret that the music industry is one of the biggest corporate shills in terms of business enterprises. You think Capitol Records cares about the integrity of the artist if the bottom line isn’t being met.
I’m also not saying that signing to a big corporate record label is bad. It’s hard to be in a band and hell you have to make money off of your art someway to get by comfortably.
But for GEF to be so sour on corporate brands just because be doesn’t like them in skateboarding (as he wears Adidas). Is not only downright disingenuous but also super ignorant. Let that ego go and truly look in the mirror.

i dont give a shit about self defence family haha. i was saying you chose your username perfectly because all of your posts come off like a smug arrogant fuckwit.
All jokes aside, clearly GEF was criticising the neo-liberal hyper-capitalistic nature of Supreme, not skateshop t shirt folders. Supreme are owned by a billion dollar venture capital group, who use the image of skateboarding to legitimise themselves in order to justify selling $80 t shirts and thousand dollar jackets. Tyshawn said it himself, he had to beg supreme to pay their team riders. They don’t care about skateboarders, they care about profits. A whole lot of taking, not a lot of giving. Atiba is sour because supreme is paying him money to take photos and give him free clothing. Is he defending an employer for doing the most basic thing ie paying him a wage to do his job?
Going to battle for billion dollar corporations… corny.
As someone who is 50, skateboarder and music lover it was fantastic to hear from him. To have the whole contexts of what life was like at the time this stuff was all coming out makes a difference, and it's embarrassing reading some of these takes.That's fine, maybe don't use gay as a derogatory term though?
What a snore life would be if we all held the same views and tip toed around with a PC awareness because we're on some gay live stream. The stuff this guy captured and the reach he had pre-internet is incomparable. The point about record labels is a good one, I'd bet he'd agree that those five majors are leeches and they were getting paid to enable more work. But to dog on him for his age is really really gay. All of these streetwear brands, skate brands, street skating pioneers drew influence form this guy's work whether you like it or not. He gets a pass to call anything he wants corny imo.
Anyone who feels personally attacked by someone calling out Supreme is a fucking Kook.Isn’t Supreme owned by a dude who doesn’t skate at all? James Jebbia or something? Supreme never was skater owned. The sad thing is kids these days probably think Dill or Strobeck own Supreme they’re clueless. Easy for Supreme to continue to make money off them.
Good to see them outing themselves, took a guy who was there since Day 1 to do it.
Smoking that Supreme pack.... fuuuck all the way off

I was also very confused by KGB’s statement.
KGB do you not see an equivalence in this proposition?
Whether GEF used his art on his own terms or not, he still provided his photographs to enrich a corporation. It’s no secret that the music industry is one of the biggest corporate shills in terms of business enterprises. You think Capitol Records cares about the integrity of the artist if the bottom line isn’t being met.

It was this meme but the guy in the corner was GEF saying “they don’t know I used to skate” and everyone at the party was wearing Supreme shirts. Didn’t catch the caption
Seeing them get so bent out of shape proves Glen right. He's definitely pompous and full of himself, but Supreme has a raw nerve about this for a reason.

Did you miss the part at the beginning where he said himself that he is a kook?
Also I like how some of you are losing your shit because he's wearing Adidas. Adidas pays their riders well and makes gear for skateboarding. I was skating in the OG superstar, campus and stan smiths before they started making them even better to skate in. All they had to do was add a little cush to the originals, they already were pretty much perfect. Adidas has also always been a street wear brand since like Run DMC and the Beastie Boys made them popular. Are they corporate? Sure, but they also make some really well made gear. Does Supreme treat their sponsored people well? If getting free product is all your after then I guess they do. And what do you expect him to wear? Some home made shoes he glued together outta cork board?

Kinda interesting, I figured the experience brings in more revenue than the regular show from all the donations. Would be interesting to see their balance sheet/p&l (doubt they even have that, maybe they run this on quickbooks or something so its possible)
They said straight-up that they were ending the "Experience" episodes and this is all that refers to.
if it isn't a joke I hope somebody checks in on Ryan Kulla.

So, if true, we’re basically saying goodbye to Eldy and Steezus.
Always wondered how these dudes could keep up weekly appearances without getting decent pay (YT views are rarely over 100k per experience episode).
Eldy and Steezus don’t seem super stoked on being part of the podcast anyway.
Assuming it’s not April Fool’s, it’ll be interesting to hear them explain the reason for ending the experience.
Remember when chocolate introduced Louie Lopez as an April Fool's joke? I remember thinking its not a good move when the joke you make is what a majority of people would prefer over the reality of your brand.

He said he got a few offers after he left blind and still has over the years . Wonder what the story is behind him not taking them. Also funny as hell Roger calling out cariuma as the worst shoe company .
They get a lot of hate, but like honestly they're no more self involved/interruption prone/blah blah than any other podcast. Ever listen to Marc Maron? He's so far up his own butt he can see his tonsils, but I've been an avid listener for a decade and it's helped me learn a lot about my own personality defects and he's super self aware. I think they work well together - Chris is dry and self deprecating but keeps the wheels turning, Jeron is hella chill and keeps it real but isn't afraid to drop a hot take, Kelly is a goofball and knows it but is painfully sincere and you can't help but love it, and Roger basically seems like the coolest guy every and I'd hang out with him every day. I started skating again last year after an on and off hiatus of about 15 years and this show really helped me get stoked again, catch up on my old favs, and learn about the new pros that are killing it. Do I stan Andy Anderson? No, but I don't hate him for being a nerd. Do I skate Dragons? No, too soft and I only skate odd numbered wheels. People don't get into making podcasts because they're selfless and don't like the sound of their own voices, just sayin'! Like most podcasts they're pretty dependent on the guest - Sewa isn't super interviewable, I still don't really know how he ended up on blind - but I watched him skate and now I don't care, his skating is about as robotic and uninteresting as personality - listen to the Jason Lee/Dune episode and you'll see the difference, they were way more suited to being guests on a podcast. Life is a lot better when you appreciate things for what they are instead of complaining about what you wish they were.

They need to pre record the ad reads. Stopping the episode mid conversation is off putting and even more so is Chris kissing the Athletic greens box. I know they're a sponsor but the approach is not organic and it feels very disingenuous.

Interested to know too.
At the end of the live episode Chris name drops Tony Hawk and Andrew Reynolds which would a killer double act fo their new paired interviews. But that's pure speculation.
Regarding Steezus and Eldy, it was kind of obvious Chris, Kelly and Jeron were dodging mines when they did their best to congratulate their friends on their future endeavours.
Chris could be starting to research a bit more but I think he's relying a bit too heavily on his discord chat members to fill in the blanks. Some things really aren't that hard to research a minimum.
Also, a little salty to hear Chris try and jump on Jeron's experience of having filmed some awesome skits with the first girl/choco videos. Chris had about a minute of footage in the chocolate tour iirc and then some docu-bits in hot chocolate. Hardly Brothas from different mothas...

Yeah that suprised me a little they didn’t know about Frankys new shoe - I guess 3 people fucking up on air is less embarrassing than 5 though…
Cobra and Jamie are such comfortable speakers they could run circles around Crob if he doesnt prepare properly. Glad to know he was given some tools for success.Add Boserio, Fitzgerald, and Piscopo and Zero has a running track record of losing big names before they pop off. Greco and Ellington back in the day too.
In terms of his Nine Club visits, I keep thinking back to Jamie flubbing his Stop & Chat- if Jaeb’s departure from Zero wasn’t already in the works, he surely rubbed Dylan Jaeb the wrong way in that one - he was negging the kid hard and changed the subject to how incredible skategoat is when everyone else was on the topic of Dylan. That Jamie couldn’t see how to use the likes of Franky Villani, Jaeb, Dal Santo and Tom K properly says a lot about his accumen in recent years.

My guess is that Steezus’ core fan demographic is probably women. Hence why SLAP has no clue about what He brings to the table.
Good to see that after being nailed to the cross by the nine club, Steezus Christ has risen from the dead and brought his career back to life.

It’s called credit. These dudes get loans and max out cards left and right so they can look cool as the idiots they see on music videos who also don’t own half the shit they wear/drive. It’s all fronted by the labels and taken away when they stop producing income. But regardless many many many people in this country are in massive debt because of loans they can’t pay back and maxed out credit cards. Like really you would be surprised how much of the population lives this way. They appear to have expensive luxury cars and big houses to impress but secretly live in fear about when it’s going to get taken away.

It’s called credit. These dudes get loans and max out cards left and right so they can look cool as the idiots they see on music videos who also don’t own half the shit they wear/drive. It’s all fronted by the labels and taken away when they stop producing income. But regardless many many many people in this country are in massive debt because of loans they can’t pay back and maxed out credit cards. Like really you would be surprised how much of the population lives this way. They appear to have expensive luxury cars and big houses to impress but secretly live in fear about when it’s going to get taken away.[close]
You nailed it dude! The desire to put out an image that you are super successful , have this movie like lifestyle and brag....so many people fall into it. For example I work as a engineer for a company in the Bay and project manage a team of 10 folks. There are two junior engineers on our team who drive Teslas , draped in Supreme/Off-White/Hermes and I know exactly how much money they make......if you were judging a book by its cover you would assume I was the junior engineer and they were the manager. I drive for the record a Honda Fit lol and until recently was still rocking an Altamont Button Up that my wife made me retire. If you were to look at aspects of California culture from an outside perspective .....very shallow and materialistic imo.

Holy shit it costs $8000 a year starting . This dude is so in debt. There’s no way he’s making this much money. He’ll be back in Kansas by 2024 no doubt. You don’t go from Genius Bar to low leveler influencer money.[close]
I can only guess he's getting a discount for promoting the gym through his social media channels.
He's very much chasing the influencer life because he'll happily promote anything.
I have no idea how much these influencers make but I can't believe he's making bank. Or maybe he is and he tried to get the Nine Club to match his fees which they politely declined. All speculation.

I'd agree with that IF that was really isolated to just California. It's not. People drive just as expensive lifted trucks, etc in texas. Some of them might be motivated by "status", sure, but I think at the end of the day it's just people buying what they like. Some people are bad with money and probably should be more frugal, but some people are super into things as a hobby/lifestyle, they just have expensive hobbies. A lot of my engineering friends sunk their money into BMW's but they also took them to the track and had a real affinity for cars, whereas I was driving the same Honda for over a decade. (Athough now I have a basic audi but I got a good deal) :D
People speculate too much rather than just let people living. Who cares? Their money, their choice.

Dig how hard you back Nine Club, I’m sure at some of their lower points your support made a big difference in keeping it going, so thanks. We all criticize it a bunch, with some validity, but it’s one of the better things going in skating right now.

Thanks. Yeah, back in the "zoom" days when they didn't have big sponsors I was thinking it looked like it was hanging on by a thread and a lot of us were living for it since there wasn't much else going on to look forward to.

Yes yes No NO
I don't want to make it sound like I am mother Theresa , consumerism is an incredible sensation. I just recently bought a pair of half cabs for $70 bucks, I could have easily bought the discounted Emericas for $30 but I thought the half cabs looked super fly. So I am not going to be totally obtuse and deny that people buy stuff they life. But this might be too philosophical for Slap.....we are here to be silly and talk skate. But if you think about the bigger picture......Are people happier today than in the 1990s ? Do BMWS,$8000 a year gym memberships and $21 oatmeal catering increase human happiness.... my hypothesis is heck no. Just from opinion , true happiness is spending time with my wife just talking and watching Seinfeld.Aka spending time with the people we love. Playing with my son in the park and watching him get excited about the smallest thing. Spending time with my 3 closest homies who I have been skating with since grade 10, who have always had my back during the good and bad times. Us skating curbs or mini ramps or having endless debates about who had the best part in Sights Unseen is true happiness imo. Stuff does a really good job at mimicking happiness but it's always fleeting imo. But the people we love , our families and our homies that's the shit we will remember on our death bed. Not the expensive german automobile we drove or the exclusive clothing that Gucci manufactured.
Thanks for listening to my rant slap.
1000% agree. Stuff comes and goes and is temporary happiness, but nothing like watching Seinfeld with the wife before bed, with our dogs at our feet.

Holy shit it costs $8000 a year starting . This dude is so in debt. There’s no way he’s making this much money. He’ll be back in Kansas by 2024 no doubt. You don’t go from Genius Bar to low leveler influencer money.[close]
I can only guess he's getting a discount for promoting the gym through his social media channels.
He's very much chasing the influencer life because he'll happily promote anything.
I have no idea how much these influencers make but I can't believe he's making bank. Or maybe he is and he tried to get the Nine Club to match his fees which they politely declined. All speculation.
He's probably living check to check.[close]
I had a similar theory, I suspect he is not making enough $$$ and maybe he wanted to use the larger 9 club audience to be able to up his rates for peddling whatever garbage.[close]
It’s called credit. These dudes get loans and max out cards left and right so they can look cool as the idiots they see on music videos who also don’t own half the shit they wear/drive. It’s all fronted by the labels and taken away when they stop producing income. But regardless many many many people in this country are in massive debt because of loans they can’t pay back and maxed out credit cards. Like really you would be surprised how much of the population lives this way. They appear to have expensive luxury cars and big houses to impress but secretly live in fear about when it’s going to get taken away.[close]
You nailed it dude! The desire to put out an image that you are super successful , have this movie like lifestyle and brag....so many people fall into it. For example I work as a engineer for a company in the Bay and project manage a team of 10 folks. There are two junior engineers on our team who drive Teslas , draped in Supreme/Off-White/Hermes and I know exactly how much money they make......if you were judging a book by its cover you would assume I was the junior engineer and they were the manager. I drive for the record a Honda Fit lol and until recently was still rocking an Altamont Button Up that my wife made me retire. If you were to look at aspects of California culture from an outside perspective .....very shallow and materialistic imo.[close]
I'd agree with that IF that was really isolated to just California. It's not. People drive just as expensive lifted trucks, etc in texas. Some of them might be motivated by "status", sure, but I think at the end of the day it's just people buying what they like. Some people are bad with money and probably should be more frugal, but some people are super into things as a hobby/lifestyle, they just have expensive hobbies. A lot of my engineering friends sunk their money into BMW's but they also took them to the track and had a real affinity for cars, whereas I was driving the same Honda for over a decade. (Athough now I have a basic audi but I got a good deal) :D

Glad you’re here, dude… what took you so long? :)[close]
Shrug. I try to pay attention to all sides of things to not lose touch, just been super busy like everyone else.[close]
Dipping your toe in the Slap muck, eh? Well I salute you joining.
Dig how hard you back Nine Club, I’m sure at some of their lower points your support made a big difference in keeping it going, so thanks. We all criticize it a bunch, with some validity, but it’s one of the better things going in skating right now.[close]
Thanks. Yeah, back in the "zoom" days when they didn't have big sponsors I was thinking it looked like it was hanging on by a thread and a lot of us were living for it since there wasn't much else going on to look forward to. Just glad it made it. I really am hoping for Ed, Rodney, Tom and Mark episodes, amongst others. finger's crossed.[close]
Get to the back of the line. We’re all still waiting on the Rickk and Megan ep. Ha ha!
Oh yeah, and Jim T![close]
Those 3 are definitely included in my "amongst" others. Rick Howard the Duck board was one of my first real decks. Good to see Jeron continuing the Duck theme, although not the same as that terrible movie I used to watch on loop as a kid.

Yah I understand both your points, but if they adopted like 9% of what angel & z do it would be so much better.
Slap talks about whats going on in the skate industry and that's the entire point of their show so of course there's going to be overlap. What else are they going to talk about?
Kelly: FA’s bar is in South Korea right?
Jeron: Heh, it ain’t in North Korea.

I like the subtle flex Jeron and Crob (and formerly Edly) constantly make by exclaiming, “Yeah, right!” whenever something mildly surprising happens. Thanks for the reminder you guys were in that video and rode for peak Girl/Chocolate, nearly slipped my mind.maybe, just maybe they’re using it as the actual expression? do they say anything they enjoy is “pretty sweet”? don’t think so.

Yeah man Nine Club is the shit. Crob and Roger serving up fresh content on the weekly. We’re spoiled rotten.
Rkulla, was it Kelly who was saying on the last Live he was texting with you?
Are you guys often in contact? Do you have creative input on the show at all?
The episode is a few weeks old now but on the Jamie Thomas and Chris Cole episode I wish they went further into the Allie/Cole beef. Was this ever a thing or did they just not really like each other? If anyone doesn't remember, JT said that when he was telling the Zero team that he was thinking of putting Cole on, Allie was against it. And when he also said that he was going to put Cole on Fallen, Allie said that he didn't want to be on another team with him and he went and joined Circa.
A Jon Allie 9club ep would be sick. He always was the personification of Zero to me, and while Cole obviously ripped and was at a higher level than him, Allie just had the true skate rat personality.

It didn’t sound like an all out beef , it just sounded like Jon got on and then within months Jamie finds chris and Jon knew he would outshine him . Man had a point he didn’t want to be on teams where he was gonna be a second class citizen. It’s pretty obvious a bunch of the zero teams career languished due to chris and Jamies relationship. Both Chris and jamie suck as people though so it’s unsurprising if Allie had actual beef.

wearing shades indoors for over 2 hours while doing a filmed podcast is pretty wild. there has to be a self contained questioning of “should i just keep rocking these when i walk in?” as you pull up, then a “yeah do it why not?”… shortly followed afterwards by a “should i just rock them the whole interview?” & again a “yeah why not?”. examples of why it’s okay to sometimes ask your friends if you look stupid or not before fully committing to a wild gear choice while being filmed.

i just assumed he smoked weed beforehand or something, there were some moments here and there in which he definitely sounded like me and my friends when we're high and asked a question
so you’re telling me that if this was someone like say andy anderson, elijah berle, david loy… nobody would notice the sunglasses or make a comment? i am a fan of his skating, seems like a good guy, just think it’s kinda cringe to wear sunglasses inside for hours on camera. maybe that’s just me.

while I get the joke or "how is this even possible?", between doing the show, covid, carl being a young "cool guy" and traveling, plus the fact it seems that Chris is very introverted, it's not that surprising to me.
We don't like it when the general public gets mad at us for skating, dressing, or acting how we want. Yet skaters hate on other skaters for how they dress, how they skate, how they talk, etc. It's not really any different than the general public trying to get you to conform.
If it's not "take off the sunglasses indoors", it's "take off the hat indoors". As if we're all supposed to subscribe to some conservative manners. Is this your dinner table and you've been offended? Expressing these complaints will only cause most skaters to rebel more against your rules.
For how many pages can we talk about wearing sunglasses indoors? Personally, I’m a prescription glasses wearer so when I’m in my sunglasses l, they frequently stay on wherever since I need them in order not to walk into walls.

I interpreted that conversation differently. To me, it seemed like they were all trying their hardest to avoid saying that Ginwoo's style is bad.
Jeron was being charitable when he gave Ginwoo the benefit of the doubt with the "he's still young" thing.

I don’t disagree about his bad style, but Ginwoo is like an actual child. I don’t expect him to have good style and to do the tricks he does at his age is honestly amazing imo
I would have to disagree only in a contest should style not really matter. If two people do the same trick and ones faster, popped higher, balanced, whatever then yeah maybe it's worth more but really fuck it the tricks the trick whoever does the hardest shit should win. We have the other 99% of skateboarding where style is king. Let the dorks do their double flips.Expand QuoteAm I tripping or was Kelly really trying to tell Jeron Jinwoo has good style?[close]
Or was he saying that style doesn't matter in contests and the only thing that matters is that you execute the trick? Either way you take it both takes are whack. Style should 100% be a factor in the scoring. After hearing him say that I see why the scoring is as shitty as it is sometimes. It should be Style is more important than just hucking tricks with your feet perpendicular to each other and your knees touching as you go to pop.

Legit silly question (feel free to kook me if you please) but could there be a legal component to not listing skaters names? GX for instance maybe doesn’t want to make it so easy to say who did what, and be personally responsible for any hijinx.
But I get most of it is a cool guy thing.

I lost some respect for them after what they did with The Experience. Got rid of it, saying it's too much, then starts a new live show a month later. It's clear they just wanted to fire two guys. Cowardly move.
we’ve discussed that they obviously lurk here being their distaste for “those slap guys”. with that, i think that they read in enough to realize how much of a distaste there was for steezus/eldy & maybe that was apart of their decision? it wouldn’t be from their comments on their own videos, so it’s either us or them. maybe an argument occurred? the last episode with them there was a moment of asking if someone had ever been addicted to anything & eldy says “what about weed chris?” which didn’t seem like a huge deal and there wasn’t any animosity shown but maybe it was a low blow knowing he was going out just to call chris out on something that he’s never really spoken about in general? i dunno apparently they smoke in the green room live a bit so could be a reach but something had to have happened obviouslyExpand QuoteI lost some respect for them after what they did with The Experience.

Of course Berra edited his own part with the (poorly) acted out drama about his ankle surgery to excuse the fake spots and waited to hand it in until 24 hours before deadline so Colin couldn't really change it. What a goober.

Being an abusive cunt overrides skateboard tricks. Fuck him.
I feel like the Heath episode will suffer from him being interviewed so many times. Which is thanks to O'Dell mostly. Still going to listen.“so many times” as in 2 epicly laterd’s? every other interview he just gives one word responses. what even was this original post that is being speculated?

love how ryan sheckler has a part coming out on firday, the dude who filmed it was on last week and he was on it this week but starts it out by saying that he was super pumped when he “got the call” to be asked to be on the show after being on the show so recentlyTotal sales mode. It's lame and uncomfortable to watch but I don't hate the player(s).
Croberts pressuring Ryan to show reveal clips from his un-released part was very uncomfortable.At first, I thought you were talking about THE unreleased part. The one that floating around a few years ago. Was something .mp4 with all those insane tricks that never saw the light of day.
Patrick O dell tomorrow.
According to Chris on Thursday’s Live, they’re posting episodes at 6am Pacific on Mondays henceforth (for non-channel members), since Crob was having to wake up at midnight on Mondays to manually open it up to non-members on YouTube. Now he can wake up early to post and get his sleep schedule right. He’s been getting more tuckered out since he’s been more regularly hitting the gym and riding his Peloton. Regarding the episode postings, Mike Mo was like, “You could probably get a bot for that”, but Crob shut that shit down since Mike Mo doesn’t even attend their meetings. Get that logic shit outta here. They’re also soon gonna be piping in A/C from the other room in the apartment to beat the heat.
The slight scheduling change is a bit of a bummer, as I have a habit of using the new vids as a form of white noise to aid in my sleep. Helps with the Sunday Scaries.

Regarding the episode postings, Mike Mo was like, “You could probably get a bot for that”, but Crob shut that shit down since Mike Mo doesn’t even attend their meetings. Get that logic shit outta here. They’re also soon gonna be piping in A/C from the other room in the apartment to beat the heat.
The slight scheduling change is a bit of a bummer, as I have a habit of using the new vids as a form of white noise to aid in my sleep. Helps with the Sunday Scaries.[close]
he could automate that shit lol

so who’s the dude that didn’t wanna bring up his drug use and jail time?
I don’t see myself listing to this (sure it’s good and all, but so long) but is there any future epicaly latrd coming?

If everyone who came on that show talked about their drug use then that would be every episode. Id rather hear skate talk on the skate talk show.

Odell downplayed knowing what Dill meant by upriver/downriver lol
I watch epicly later’ds every now and then would be nice to have them all re uploaded. Interesting to hear who else worked with him to make it happen. As the viewer I just assume o’dell did absolutely everything haha despite every episode having credits saying otherwise. Also Odell is the originator of this kind of content would like to see new epicly laterd content in some form.
Also funny about Odell’s mental image of SLAP pals looking like professors haha a lot of us are nerds tho.
His interview with angel and z was good. Seemed more organized than the 9 club since AZ podcast had specific and in depth questions and just one interviewer versus the discussion style of 9 club. Still. Good shit all around. Need more Odell content
O Dell episode was worth the watch. also, can someone lock up the Beatrice thread already?

Nigel says he thinks Forecast was the last successful video and Kelly immediately mentions Fully Flared
I liked that
I wanna hear Clyde on all platforms. He's one of my heroes in skating. Always has been. Theirs very few skaters on earth id rather see skate irl.
Maybe Sheff and Kalis are #1
Jack Sebak is pretty frickin high on the style list too.
But yeah Clyde is tops too.
He's right there with Kien Lieu and the Natas style too.
Cardiel. Oyola...
Brandi is the top of the style food chain too for certain tricks. His Nollie fs 80s are better than Dills. Dills nollies were second to none in my opinion.
Coakley also stupid high on my list but I've seen that right in my eyes before and I'm talking about idk.....
Oh some of my skating heros over the years.
Nigel Alexander video... Does he address the home bathroom fight and the resulting 911 call?
Man this NKA dude has absolutely no edge. I can't believe they stretched a conversation about YouTube as long as they did
Always thought Nigel dude was corny. Gave the listen a chance. Ended the pod by claiming he gained 20lbs of muscle in a month by just doing pushups and taking amino acids, and that taking creatine after quitting drinking reverses the effects. Instantly devolved from corny to kook.
I feel like Huberman is telling about new creatine benefits all the time, so maybe there's something to the claims :PExpand QuoteAlways thought Nigel dude was corny. Gave the listen a chance.

I've been working out naturally for YEARS. 20lbs In a month? Yeah right ... it takes months/years to add 20 lbs of "real" muscle.
PS: creatine rules though
watching a recent Live one and Crob got real snappy at Roger. It was very uncomfortable.Caught that too. Iirc rog mentioned something in the chat and Chris snapped at him to stop mentioning it because it’s ruining the flow of the conversation between the hosts.
Is it just me or has the standard of the nine club just totally fell off in the past year? I can't remember the last time I was excited about a new episode. It seems like almost every person they get on is some b-tier industry vet at this point.
They really need to get Clyde on there asap, as cleansing of some kind...

Yea Roger does this all the time. Crob and company will be in the middle of getting a thought out and roger will interject with hey look kula donated for the thousandth time. Kind of have to agree with crob on this one I would also find that super irritating.
Yeah, I think he's doing a 9Club also... He posted an exchange between him and Kelly.
haha, yeah I often will try to time my donations to not interrupt the important parts of the show, but it doesn't always work by the time it gets seen. Sorry not sorry.

I'd somewhat argue the opposite. Chris actually tries to prepare and revisit the guests work these days and has proper questions. The b tier guests are often the filmers or industry dudes behind the scenes with more stories than skaters themselves. But in the end I still feel like it's kind of a sinking ship and the dudes behind the 9 club are in a constant race to make some sort of career for the rest of their lives
It always makes me smile that the 9 in the name is a reference to inches, regardless of context

They prerecorded an Athletic Greens ad that they replay often and before I can fast-forward Crob & Kelly keep saying “aptogens” which is not a real word. It makes me chuckle, but I think they should redo it.

random but, i really appreciated the keenan ode segment today. when jeron realizes that he would be 49 today… the look in his face almost made my eyes trickle. it was like you could feel that it kind of just hit him out of nowhere in that moment how long it has been and then he remembered he’s on camera. like for a very split moment he just seemed paused in disbelief of the time & kind of visioning his time with him or something. the ‘b-roll’ was just another reminder of how naturally stylish keenan really was, i often think about how big of an impact he would have made if that hadnt happened. like an actual planned full part in yeah right, a part in skate more if he didn’t dip to dc and join the dc video, pretty sweet.. all of it. imagining what could have been with keenan is equally as awesome as it is tough.
rest in peace keenan.

That's true for you but for people who know who he is, or wanted to know more, it was interesting enough. The YouTube talk is relevant since many pro skaters are just now starting to do it. So it makes sense to give credit to the original people who took that leap, even if you'll never like the idea of it. Obviously Crob is interested in it since the show is mainly viewed via YouTube as well.
One person's "boring" is another's "interesting". All there are are opinions and no one's opinion is more right than another's. I know this doesn't jive well with people who want to feel better than someone else, but that's just ego man. The Big Lebowski hates your fascist ways, man.

YouTuber circle jerk episode[close]
Show was terrible. Have no idea who this dude is, checked it out and all they do is talk about youtube.
WhoCareZ am I right?[close]
That's true for you but for people who know who he is, or wanted to know more, it was interesting enough. The YouTube talk is relevant since many pro skaters are just now starting to do it. So it makes sense to give credit to the original people who took that leap, even if you'll never like the idea of it. Obviously Crob is interested in it since the show is mainly viewed via YouTube as well.
One person's "boring" is another's "interesting". All there are are opinions and no one's opinion is more right than another's. I know this doesn't jive well with people who want to feel better than someone else, but that's just ego man. The Big Lebowski hates your fascist ways, man.[close]
Sorry, I like the shows normally even when I don’t know who it is. But this episode was not entertaing in the least not even for background noise. YouTube is not skateboarding. And this guy was not pleasant to listen to.
Maybe you can change my mind by donating some cash my way. :D[close]
My point was that it was interesting for some people, just not you, not to change your mind. I hear you though, not all episodes hit the same for anyone, we'll all have are favorites or even ones we didn't care for much. Hopefully you'll like the next one.[close]

random but, i really appreciated the keenan ode segment today. when jeron realizes that he would be 49 today… the look in his face almost made my eyes trickle. it was like you could feel that it kind of just hit him out of nowhere in that moment how long it has been and then he remembered he’s on camera. like for a very split moment he just seemed paused in disbelief of the time & kind of visioning his time with him or something. the ‘b-roll’ was just another reminder of how naturally stylish keenan really was, i often think about how big of an impact he would have made if that hadnt happened. like an actual planned full part in yeah right, a part in skate more if he didn’t dip to dc and join the dc video, pretty sweet.. all of it. imagining what could have been with keenan is equally as awesome as it is tough.
rest in peace keenan.

Not slander. Foy's interruption was unbearable, not his story. Like, if he waited his turn to tell it after Pat talked about his shuv 50-50.
Pat couldn't get out a story without interruption. And as someone who hasn't been on the show before, his backstory was interesting content. It's just it was constantly talked over. LOL.
No hate to Foy, but they need to have a part 2 with JUST Pat.

They’ve known each other so long. Can you imagine 35 years of getting interrupted like that?
I’m surprised it hasn’t been brought up yet, but the incident with Ricky Oyola was very disappointing for me to here about. EE3 and his part in 7 year glitch were huge for me and still inform my skateboarding to this day. It makes a lot of sense looking at his career that he had some enemies, but it’s really sad that he acted that way. I just wonder if it’s ever really been addressed or even mentioned before this - it would be great if he took responsibility for it.

When Clyde said he didn't want to be the guy at the contest standing around in a Diamond jacket, you can tell that hit Jeron pretty hard. He mentions this around the 2:50:00 mark
does anyone know what the berra thing was he referenced? it was during the ricky emb part & he said he had fucked up so it seemed like he was referencing something else racist that happened. the only story i vaguely remember was berra fighting someone at a contest in the 90s but, my memory of that is he was defending his friend for something racist someone else said?

It was an old World tour I think. Berra and Jovontae weren’t getting along. In a hotel room Berra said to Jovontae “cool black guy” or something similar. Jovontae hit Berra, then Berra left the tour. This is just what I remember reading somewhere so I might be wrong about some things.

I remember in the early 90s when skating became very shock/fuck it and people I knew or skated in the same circles as would say and do things that would be outlandish and even yelled the same word as if it were a cuss word. It was a strange time as rap
Music was becoming more prolific and as a suburban white kid I want to say that they may have just been very ignorant(or so I hope)and just yelling profanities in general and there was zero instances of anyone checking them or even self awareness that saying those words was racism. 1990-92 was a strange time, I do remember feeling so uncomfortable when people would just yell things out.I shouldn’t assume anything but I always hoped for more ignorance and less blatant hate.

More SLAP talk at 4:26:04"The show that has skaters talking and gets mad when skaters talk about it"
Crob should be pleased there’s no longer “threads galore” about the show, as he puts it - it’s all been consolidated to just this one now. Love how they talk so much shit about this forum when they know they’d be even more salty if no one discussed their show here at all.

That's interesting to hear about the F4s. I went down a roller skate set-up rabbit hole during Covid and it seemed like Bones were the only manu making stuff and aiming it RSers. That was a couple of years ago and a lot of them have probably rolled around a lot of parks/streets since then so the meta changing to Spitfire would make sense.

Maybe listen to that segment again, and hear his passion for his name and how much he hated people downplaying him and making him digestible to the average white tv viewer. I'm sure Selema wasn't mad at Crob, it's more about him hearing his story and respecting his passion and taking the time to be deliberate enough to not use the name he went on and on about.
It wasn't just a 30 second blurb about his nickname, he referenced how he felt normal in his skin when people took the time and energy to respect him and honor his wishes. I get that he probably was tired at the end of the interview, but i know if i was there, making sure i took the time to get it right would be a pretty high priority after 20 minutes of explanation.

I agree, but I'd liken it more to claw hammer vs sledgehammer, but the point stands.
The conversation always seems to devolve into "ride a bike, chip a ledge 100% of the time" and all I'm driving at is it's more nuanced than that. Gotta admit, if a loud 5050 feels and sounds good to skaters, I can only imagine a loud, aggro double peg feels just as good to BMX riders ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I still agree that BMX w/o plastic peg sleeves and trying to do grinds on ledges is pretty heinous, but I'll reference the 3rd and Army ledges are chunky and rounded off and it was mostly skateboards
Agree to disagree if you must

Chris just did a weird thing on his last live revealing the newest guest weeks out. He said we dont watch 100% of GH content. It was basically a sidestep and he directed the GH hate against kelly. I may be wrong, Thats how i took it. He said he loves constructive criticism. I somehow doubt it.

Look man. The problem is really simple. A bunch of never-grew-up man-children dont understand how to receive criticism or make amends for their shitty actions (Oblow debacle, how they handled it with their platform is notably worse than what some dude no one really thinks about said) and they have an audience of hundreds of thousands of people who did normal shit, maybe begrudgingly - went to school, got jobs, had responsibilities and just a fuckin sense of how to be a normal functioning adult in the world.
So enter someone like Joa, who is pretty much the most unconventional skateboard celebrity imaginable and bends the time-space continuum by being A) intelligent B) relatively well-adjusted C) a gaming nerd D) self-deprecating E) a ripping skater and F) a youtuber who also then can make fun of other youtubers because he's a ghost in the machine.
The NineClub would be doing themselves a MASSIVE solid/favor to have GH on and let him talk frankly and openly about all the shit that is wrong in skating (invariably, he will also talk about what's right with it) including being vulnerable to critiques of the actual show, and then rub a couple of brain cells together and respond to him in real time.
But they wont, because they have no idea how to actually process and respond to it when someone tells you you're doing something wrong. This is why toxic positivity and participation celebrations are a real thing. Fortunately (or unfortunately for these dudes and a lot of their guests) the real world will snap you back into reality very quickly.

Agree with everything you said except that he's well adjusted. Dude was never told no in his life.
TNC is probably down to have GH on the show. Could be GH who won't accept an invitation.

i feel like i've listened to a GH vid or stream where he says he wouldn't accept going on the 9 club if invited, same with the bunt because after like 5-10 min of "so what do you think is wrong with skateboarding content these days" then there'd be not enough to talk about
I could be imagining things but I thought the GH Bunt episode was confirmed/announced.
Agree GH on Nine Club would never happen but totally should.

I guess that's the self-awareness kicking in.
really though, his background story isnt terribly interesting either, but the NineClub usually backs it up to that point at least.
I think maybe the problem with the NineClub doing a three hour show about how Steve Berra is trash is it A) could keep away precious future sponsors and B) Joa already did it on his own platform for all the world to see, many many times.

Well, I guess I really ruined Chris's day with my comment.
Listen Chris, because I know you're lurking, I'm a fan of the nine club and I respect the hard work you put into the show to entertain us. Here's my issue: You guys have a major platform with the possibility to interview all kinds of people in the skate industry. A vast majority of your listeners are guys like me who have a few decades of skating under their wheels so it's natural that guests from bygone eras are going to pique our radars more than a younger fresher face we've never heard of. Especially in the case of youtubers who found their niche on a platform that's only really been exploited by the skate industry in the last few years. I see Pedro Delfino. I see Tom Asta. I see Gas Giants. These are skaters on youtube that interest me because besides their youtube channels providing great content, they're in the streets, the parks, the shops, the magazines, the videos... Not so much Luis Mota, NKA Vids, Ira Ingram, Chris Chann, Gary Veynerchuk et al. That said, I still listen to the episodes because maybe they have a great story to tell. Perhaps I jumped the shark with my extra views and stats comments but I can't help but feel somehow the analytics reflect it when such guests feature on the show.
I will say one thing though, it shows that you and the others are starting to do some homework on upcoming guests and the interviews are better for it. However, don't rely so much on your Ol' buddies for emotional support. There are plenty of us skaters out here and elsewhere who listen your show, like your show, respect your show but we'll also critique your show. If you enter the public sphere which are now very much a part of, you have to accept criticism. Granted some of it is baseless (nowadays faceless) but some of it is valuable. And, why not just say "so-and-so posted on Slap" rather than "someone commented" like you're trying to deny you follow this topic and forum closely? I can almost guarantee you that if you posted up here like Cliff, DGKalis, ISUCK etc did in the past, you'd probably get a ton more support and respect than you think.
Fuck, this post is too long. Apologies slappals, I just got a kick out of Chris reacting so fast to my earlier post that bumped the thread from page 3 to the front.

Look man. The problem is really simple. A bunch of never-grew-up man-children dont understand how to receive criticism or make amends for their shitty actions (Oblow debacle, how they handled it with their platform is notably worse than what some dude no one really thinks about said) and they have an audience of hundreds of thousands of people who did normal shit, maybe begrudgingly - went to school, got jobs, had responsibilities and just a fuckin sense of how to be a normal functioning adult in the world.
So enter someone like Joa, who is pretty much the most unconventional skateboard celebrity imaginable and bends the time-space continuum by being A) intelligent B) relatively well-adjusted C) a gaming nerd D) self-deprecating E) a ripping skater and F) a youtuber who also then can make fun of other youtubers because he's a ghost in the machine.
The NineClub would be doing themselves a MASSIVE solid/favor to have GH on and let him talk frankly and openly about all the shit that is wrong in skating (invariably, he will also talk about what's right with it) including being vulnerable to critiques of the actual show, and then rub a couple of brain cells together and respond to him in real time.
But they wont, because they have no idea how to actually process and respond to it when someone tells you you're doing something wrong.

My god that's pathetic. I literally lol'd reading that. get some fuckin spines, dudes.
I did not watch the episode and dont care about it.
Edit: ok I did go and watch this and its amazing. No one can deny, not even this Luis dude, that GH has a role to play and what it is is wholly defined as being honest and keeping it real, and then the NC goes on to basically detonate that idea by saying "there is a lot of shitty skating and we just put that aside and dont talk about it."
No one cares about the shitty skating. Zach Dowdy just posted a fuckin three hour video of him trying to learn a 360 flip before social security checks arrive.
That's not what any of this is about and you know it. Buddy right now you guys are not helping skateboarding culture, and sadly by some fucking stroke of luck you have the platform to help it or dismantle it and you seem bent on the latter.
I'll hand it to this Luis dude, he is schooling them in what it's like to be an adult and take some criticism and do something with it and not be a soft-ass care bear afraid to have their feelings hurt.
He deep dives where the nine club only goes a few inches.

As a journalist, that seems like such a horrible take. Sure, if I just write about what my interviewees want to read about themselves, I'd probably be able to speak with a wide selection of people. However, I'd be writing the most basic, milquetoast stories without any level of depth. Getting a lot of different guests is important for the Nine Club, sure, but if there's no actual substance in the interviews, people are eventually gonna get bored.

The sad truth is that Crob and team aren’t influential enough to get Koston or Mullen on TNC, let alone celebrity skate fans, but Tony Hawk gets them on his podcast, which is objectively way worse than TNC
TNC is probably best to focus on having a mix of YT skate creators and up and coming core skaters on their show

Weird assumption considering the show is still bringing in new guests all the time and Crob has interviewed Koston recently on 2 different occasions outside of the main nine club. My guess is Koston will be on soon, and not sure why Mullen hasn't yet since Jeron knows him. Gives us something to look forward to even if it never happens :D
episode 300 is on the horizon, i know we were expecting a huge one for 200 (jacob rozenberg was still great) but, i really think they will drop a banger for episode 300. koston makes a lot of sense but i’m still praying for rocco or natas.Expand QuoteExpand QuoteThe sad truth is that Crob and team aren’t influential enough to get Koston or Mullen on TNC, let alone celebrity skate fans, but Tony Hawk gets them on his podcast, which is objectively way worse than TNC

So they haven’t had Koston or Mullen so that doesn’t validate them or make them influential compared to who they’ve had over 7 years? Hawk, Grosso, Mountain, MJ, Reynolds, Alba, Carroll, Stevie, JT, Rowley, J Lee and that’s still a fraction of guys of that caliber as well as a ton of current skaters that are at the top of the game. Granted they’re not always great interviews or somewhat boring at times but no one else has really gotten close to who they have had in that respect.

crob doesn't seem to do any research on guests before recording, its often embarrassing how little he knows about the people he has on the show
kinda insulting levels of ignorance seeing as the guests are bringing in the views and in turn the money in his pocket
Roger is texting Chris during the showRoger really is the glue that’s hardly keeping 9club afloat. What the fuck does Steezus even do now? Does he still work somewhere that people actually call him Steezus?

Haters gonna hate. I'm watching the Omar Hassan one now. On the funny-meter it's second only to Clyde Singleton!
Omar is a legend and all, but I couldnt sit there and watch 2 hours of this guy. Especially since hes had like 5 lifestyle videos drop recently with all the same shit in it. Being different is "in" right now and i know were supposed to celebrate peoples weirdness, blah blah blah but not everyone is interesting.
This show used to be dope cause it gave insight to the industry and peoples career I never woulda known, but the guest list over the past 2 years has been lackluster to put it nicely, with the last year being a dumpster fire of guest lineups.
They forgot to ask Omar Hassan about when he started to skate, where he grew up and all that. Even with Clyde Pinkerton they got a thorough biography on him. Omas Hassan was just veering off from the start :)
Did they ask Omar about beating up Frank Gerwer after Gerwer called him the n-word?

i fell asleep sitting up attempting to watch the live episode last night.
i get it, rob trying to draw out the show by talking in circles, but its making the content more and more boring.
most of the time dubs is just sitting there nodding and saying "yea, yea" while yawning in his face.
I used to put on sleep sounds at night to drown out the sounds of cars driving by the window, but now ive got something else to put me out.

My bad, I shoulda checked before commenting! Crob, if you read this, forgive my ignorance!
not sure why i was compelled to watch the newest episode in full but it was probably the most pointless episode in awhile.
I know Chris really hates criticism about "the whole YouTube thing" but the Asta/McCoy episode kinda proves why I think people feel that way. Every conversation is more or less the same no matter who they're interviewing. It's always about thumbnails, cover pages, copyright strikes, subscribers. Pretty boring shop talk to have half a dozen times.
also, if Roger is gonna make a big fuss about not wanting to be on camera, maybe don't awkwardly mumble into the microphone to interrupt your guest. And if you are gonna awkwardly mumble into the microphone to interrupt your guest, maybe actually listen to the answer they give instead of awkwardly repeating your question five minutes later.
one of the better episodes they've had in a while. Asta and mccoy are good skaters and all but the whole episode seemed like it was a more personal conversation that they shouldve had off camera. really geared towards youtube analytics and how to get clicks, streaming and getting ad revenue that we all know chris is into.
Felt off.

I think at this point, the Nine Club is doing Podcast like it is a radio show. They both had Maurio and Tom on the show but to have them back, it just to talk about stuff that they haven't talked about before which can lead to more boring talk. I don't think it is terrible but it can produce bad episodes but that is how it goes in radio and podcasts. You can't have every episode as some stand alone epic show.

This is true I guess.
But does Crob still skate? Can he still hold a nosegrind?
I really want to see Jeron skating again. Dont know if these guys are injured or just downing beers and smoking weed(or all of these options, like yours truly).
Might make a poll.
-peace.
I know Chris really hates criticism about "the whole YouTube thing" but the Asta/McCoy episode kinda proves why I think people feel that way. Every conversation is more or less the same no matter who they're interviewing. It's always about thumbnails, cover pages, copyright strikes, subscribers. Pretty boring shop talk to have half a dozen times.

You might not think this is interesting personally, but a lot of people do. I like the YouTube breakdowns The Nine Club do with their guests. Hearing them talk thumbnails and playing the algorithm and what they do to combat it is pretty interesting.
Why is he always making a face like I shit in his coffee grinderIt's his Kevin Smith Opening His Eyes
the youtube talk is getting old. my guess is they made a conscious decision to lean into as to be '20 years from now people will look back on The Nine Club and how they were the ones talking openly about this thing that is much more relevant in our daily lives now'

I understand that these guys want to diversify their guests but this is just bizarre. Went straight to the comments hoping to see people pushing back on this but 99% of them was just generic positive drivel. At this point, they don't have any legitimate reason to not bring on GH aside from the fact that he has criticized them in the past.

i had no clue who he is and it just came on in the background while i was working. it turned out to be a super interesting interview, or, at least informative. i always want to hear more of the behind the scenes stuff as far as these youtube guys go. i learned a lot and was paying attention the whole time once they got into the business side of everything. but yea please keep these spread out.

"but my investment in their show is limited to the guest." sums up an "ol buddy/die hard fan" from a "casual viewer/hater" pretty nicely. Not in a bad way, just a good distinction.

Why would am be different than amateur? It's the same term with the same meaning, just abbreviated. Same applies for pro and professional.
Most of all, ams do deserve to get paid in some scenarios, but it just depends on who is running the contest. Do they choose to give out prize money or not is subjective and I think it's fair either way.
Often pros get actual $ prizes and ams get gear (and exposure, technically) for their winnings.
It was kinda whack he singled out PJ in the interview. But I understand where he’s coming from. I don’t think he was hating more just disappointed. But what if PJ was having a bad day or healing from an injury. Still sucks for the fans that showed up expecting to see him skate. Even if it was just a kickflip over the pyramid like suggested. I went to a Deathwish demo and was under the assumption Greco and Ellington would be there, which neither of them were. All good but kind of misleading, maybe it was a misunderstanding. And Lenoce was there but not skating, would’ve been sick to see him just do a Nollie heel on flat or anything really.
Hey guys, y'all know I work for Ryan. Let me clear something up.
When he talks about not paying people, he is referring to like all ages contests with a 12 and under division, and giving big money to flow kids.
We have run The Boardr Open for the last few years and although we advertise it as "open" meaning pros can enter, it usually ends up as a upper to mid level am contest and we have a small prize purse for that. I think first place was $500.
The idea is to not set the expectations that 8-12 year old kids are winning significant prize money at contests. That is not sustainable to a contest series.
That being said, the prize money is all up to the sponsors. Sometimes it's there, sometimes its not.
Lately, we have also been doing a lot of "tricks for cash" events where everyone can get involved and we give out maybe $500-$1000 in ten and twenty dollar bills. That kind of thing creates excitement and a great time for everyone.
I'm always down to talk about this stuff and help understand it in any way I can. Feel free to reply here or PM me if you have some more specific questions.

I haven’t watched that clip but that surprises me. Usually seems like he’s the only one who can do basic math.

Counting stairs is his limit. I thought the dog years thing was funny af as I understood Kelly's confusion didn't he say he had gotten high for the first time in ages earlier in the show, that probably explains it!!
Hell yeah Arto episode 😎 I’m hyped
Could’ve been alot longer, needed more insight to him on gravis & #NB, plus more rowley & Templeton stories, did they even ask if he still skates casually in Hawaii?
the past two years, every episode Chris says 'look, we could go deep and deep dive into this into that but look, we're having fun, we're just fans, you just being here is enough for us'“look man, it’s been so great having you here! we could go on for hours BRO! we gotta wrap up here, i know you’ve got a long drive. can we give you some stuff real quick? kelly go grab him some stuff! what size are you, large?”.

Original team and also maybe first pro model skate shoe ever with nb. Same with gravis. Maybe not the most interesting topic to talk about but seeing as shoes tend to come up a lot prob worth mentioning.Expand QuoteCould’ve been alot longer, needed more insight to him on gravis & #NB, plus more rowley & Templeton stories, did they even ask if he still skates casually in Hawaii?[close]

THE NINE CLUB
Chris: Welllll, we’re back…
*a reference made to information from an Epicly Later’d episode*
Interviewee: Yes
Kelly: That was awesome
Jeron: a kind fake deep wise comment
Chris: How much money?
Great lets listen to Wee Man talk about investmentsi’m sure roberts will love that. Nine club sucks, i thought they were getting better for a minute but it’s all just a cash grab. I’m pretty sure kelly is the only one who would even follow skating at all if he didn’t have to
Are these two doing something together or did they just decide to get to two little people skaters together for some arbitrary reason?They are starting a podcast together.

So far the episode is fine. A lot of focus on Pancho which makes sense since Wee Man has been on the show. Pancho seems like a real easy person to talk to. Good listen so far.
How come they didn’t ask Pancho about the Oompa Loompa porn he was in?
I forgot how actually fucking good Pancho was at skating. Kinda forgot about him all together. Seems like a rad dude
imagine being a rich suburban housewife in the valley, your kid quits the baseball team and gets into skating against you & your husband’s pleas. you slowly grow more accepting of it over time despite your initial gut feeling. it becomes very apparent that he is truly invested in this new hobby & you find yourself becoming more and more supportive of his new passion. his favorite place to skate quickly becomes skatelab skatepark so, you now find yourself as his day to day chauffeur in taking him there and picking him up. at first, the location and the park itself make you a little uneasy but, you convince yourself that you’re just being uptight & protective and that he is in no danger of any sort. as this continues on, you come to the realization that your marriage is becoming stagnant due to his long work hours mixed with your role in being your son & his friend’s everyday skatepark chaperone/taxi driver. one day, your husband comes home early from work for the first time in what seems like forever. your son is at skatelab & you don’t have to pick him up for a few more hours. you suggest to your husband that maybe you two should watch a dirty movie like old times, to spice things up and to keep the relationship from becoming too distant. you find one online, pour a few glasses of wine & lay down together, slowly growing closer & engaging more and more as the film rolls on. all of the sudden, pancho moler is butt ass naked fucking some girl from behind at skatelab & then nutting all over the bench. you rush to the park as quickly as possible, throw little timmy in the back of your land rover, rush back home & immediately sign him back onto the middle school baseball team.Expand QuoteHow come they didn’t ask Pancho about the Oompa Loompa porn he was in?[close]
Good point. Pretty sure he ejaculated on the bench at skate lab.

It really was. No talk of his partying days, Flip drama post-Shane Cross accident, or anything. Even the AWS content was really vanilla. I want stories from the van, Dylan stuff, up-river vs. down-river. Instead it was "Yeah I left Flip, got on AWS, and went back. They barely mention Mind Field.

The Bunt did a great job of mildly confronting Kelly on him not pushing himself more during his career. He took it well and I agree with them. He definitely coasted because he could.
I wondered for a long time why he kept getting passed over, but the lack of hype and coverage was there.. Hamilton & Hoyle were really going for it at the time, hence pro status.

Willy Santos is truly a gem and a good human. I remember when growing up in SD (I'm also Filipino) I was with family at Family Fun Center (now Boomers) of Clairmont Mesa Blvd. Guess Willy was there with his extended family. I saw him and geeked out as he was my favorite skater. I think he must've noticed me geeking out, some kid in a Vans tee and Willy pro shoes, so he made his way up to me and my family, introduced himself, then let me know that he was hosting a skate contest down in the Mt. Miguel area and that I should roll thru. Super nice, said hello to my folks who were like, "who's he?"
The following week, I went to his contest, he recognized me and said what up. I even won his frogs board in a raffle. I rode that board with pride until I got jacked for it by some high school gangsters :'(

I’d imagine some of the guests ask to skip certain questions or have them edit stuff out before the show is aired. I know the Bunt gives the guests final approval before the show is live. You can often her the audio change on rapid fire questions or certain questions are skipped.

We’ll never know but I’d like to know why they scrapped the experience show, dumped Steezus and Eldy then quickly rebranded almost the exact same show and look like they’re reproducing what they were doing minus the co-co-co-co-hosts..?
I randomly checked Eldy’s instagram the other day and it seems he’s of alcohol since three weeks which is good for him. No news on Steezus. Maybe he got lost doing influencer hikes in the hills?

I totally respect that it's their show and they wanted to tighten things up, but they took the most elaborate and passive route to firing Steezus and Eldy as was possible. Pretty fucking funny, actually.
anyone catch the chat question posed on one of the newer live episodes where someone demanded that Crob answer how he justifies having a pro model? the mood was grim lol (spoiler: he said 'moving on...')

Expand QuoteDudes are getting a little too drunk on the stream and it’s getting awkward[close]
I feel you, kinda wild to see Chris act like a high schooler who has drank maybe five times, so much miscommunication between the three of them to the point where I thought it was an act but late in the show Kelly said something like Jesus fucking Christ Chris and that did make me laugh. Kinda called him out.
All in all, lots of fast forwarding this episode which I rarely do. I think it’s fun they are drinking but there was a ton of time where it felt like they were very immature.
Idk I like to drink or whatever but me and my homies do not act like that and do not constantly say hey we are all just homies having a good time.
I feel like there is a facade that has fallen and revealed some more real traits about our friends.
Anyways not a negative criticism but for sure awkward to watch a bit. If anything an odd study in human behavior.
Can’t wait for a 1hr7min review if baker video haha.
Also yea the facial thing was really weird.
Wonder what the gay homies think about that. Seems to be underlying homophobic tones there and it’s odd they are all homies w BA.

Ellis pretending to be gay
genuinely not trying to be a hater, but the show, and live show especially feels so formulaic and sorta forced nowadays. Feels like they all just show up every week because they’re used to doing a show and not because they actually care or are invested in skateboarding anymore. Chris even alluded to wanting to escape being tied to skateboarding in a recent episode, like he’s pigeonholed or something.
Also the mental gymnastics they’re pulling on that recent show to somehow differentiate themselves from skate YouTubers or whatever is baffling. They really put themselves on this pedestal because they were pro at one point and have industry access, but they’re dropping shocked face thumbnails and clickbait titles on their videos. I don’t like the hypocrisy and lately I’ve just been getting a vibe that these dudes are a representation of the clicky, elitist side of the industry that you always hear about. Feels like the mask is coming off a bit.

Crob has been pretty transparent he wants to be a big YouTuber but he knows he has nothing to offer the average person and it grates on his soul.
I think they missed their biggest opportunity after the adidas copa events stopped. They could’ve become a skate media event team and maybe transitioned into bigger stuff. Only Kelly really leaned into that with the judging.

Do you remember exactly on what episode they were differentiating from skate YouTubers? Curious to listen to the nuance in what they said, because they made an effort to have their backs on Ben D’s episode by even referring to them as “skaters that YouTube”.
And it always seems that they 100% support skaters looking for alternative incomes streams other than pro skating.
It wouldn’t fit into their MO if they were all of a sudden saying in some way that they’re better than any skateboarder that YouTube’s.

I think it was the last live episode that was like 4 hours long,within the first 20 or so minutes, it wasn’t exactly what they said it was how they said it. Chris and Kelly were having a back and forth about YT and how they get recommended videos from random skate channels and the whole exchange just felt really dismissive and condescending. I also should state that I was a bit buzzed when I watched it so the possibility of me taking something out of context is entirely possible lol. I’ll revisit it and if I was just in my feelings over something minuscule I’ll modify my comment lol. Also really appreciate you watching my shit, man. I hope you liked the X97’s. I ended up swapping back to F4’s shortly after just out of preference but I still recommend those wheels to people looking for a softer ride.
^^ completely agree. They put up a total facade. They are okay people but, besides Jeron, they’re not especially friendly or outgoing off-camera. The show is something of an act, but (as has been well-established) when they’re able to bring on an interesting guest, it can be a very good platform. Their holier-than-thou schtick has been an on-going thing… definitely wears thin with all the other podcast options out there, where you see the passion coming through and no one’s even making a dime from it.

i could see what you're saying. I guess because they are being recommended videos of people they've never heard of they feel like its weird that YouTube would recommend it. I know it isnt what they're saying, but it almost feels like they think only people from the "industry" should have a viewership like that.
I think most skate youtubers are corny (not all) only because you can tell some of them are making content for the sake of content, but like someone mentioned about podcast alternatives it is nice when people make content around something theyre hyped on.

I know I mentioned meeting Jeron and him being a class act in this thread already, but I remember when I saw Kelly at a demo. He stayed at the top of the roll in just doing stationary tre flips the whole time. When I said whats up he was kind. Maybe because it was because he was the flow guy on the trip at the time.

I always respected how every week there's an episode, but I havent seen skateline in a while... I gave it a watch to see if Gary is as annoying as he is on skateline...and I liked how nice club presented him, seeing his grommit kid skate video was kinda fun to see, and letting him vent about nike was probably one of the better parts, Crob actually wanted to hear him talk about his hatred lol
Gary episode is pretty entertaining, skipped around a bit… the SOTY discussion until the end was some of the best stuff. I like how Gary pushes all their buttons but keeps it mostly civil. It was kinda interesting hearing his take on the innerworkings of Thrasher - gleaned some things from that for sure, and to hear them all allude to GH without wanting to say his name was sorta funny. I can see why they’d be salty, he’s definitely roasted them a ton. And I can see what y’all mean about there seeming to be beef between Nine Club and Gary, but I read it as Gary trying to challenge them to be better, in his own odd way. The way the episode ends with him laughing to himself about potentially failing, seemingly having a breakdown, was pretty sick. He’s a fascinating guy.
Are most of you skaters or life coaches? ::)
I was speaking with someone earlier about the 9 club. They think it's wack. I don't really understand why they do. It's probably their circle of friends all think it's week industry crap.
I thought everyone loved Thrasher and wanted to keep it. That's why people don't want non skate fans rocking it? I don't understand that either.
If some kid who didn't skate and they ended up with an accidental article of awesome I would have brought um in.
It usually meant they was just too poor for nikes.
Anyway 9 club.
I said there's never been anyone on that you love? Of course they said yes. So I said they did that for you and gave a platform to the underground bland you love.
There's always going to be little things that I as an individual don't like. Sometimes things that no one likes but them. That's life.
We gotta be grateful for the times they do it all the way right by us.
I think it's geared towards people like me who love the history and wanna know about things that happened in other skaters lives.
Shortly afterwards I went to the ledge and got a bunch of photos taken by some rando.
I didn't even have to skate he just wanted photos.

The thing about Mikey Taylor I get, because he's petite bourgeois, very low-level rich and likely incredibly illiquid (one major downturn in the housing market and it's gone), so he has to keep the hustle up. But Drydek doing the "Life Hacking" bullshit shows how deep the rot goes into the brains of rich people, because he is easily worth $100m and unless he invested everything in shitcoins, his wealth is secured for generations, yet he still had to inflict his personality on us like every other rich dullard who has washed ashore post-Musk. It's not enough to be fabulously wealthy; you must also be constantly validated by strangers on the internet.
What do Dyrdek or Mikey Taylor have to do with any of this? Critical thinking and discussion don’t equate to giving life advice. We’re just fans of the show who want to talk about it. Why do you even come on here?

I come here sometimes because it's a thread about my favorite show. Same reason I read some of the comments on youtube and their IG posts, and their discord, etc. I disagree that it's all just "critical thinking and discussion" and that you're all just fans of the show. You make it sound so innocent and wholesome, which is kinda laughable based on half the posts in the thread I've read. Even if you're not the one doing it, be real.
Also there's a huge "if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen" of people getting super offended about anyone saying anything bad about SLAP, when they're non-stop knocking almost everything the nine club does. Either way, I'm here for it.

I don’t like the hypocrisy and lately I’ve just been getting a vibe that these dudes are a representation of the clicky, elitist side of the industry that you always hear about. Feels like the mask is coming off a bit.[close]
Do you remember exactly on what episode they were differentiating from skate YouTubers? Curious to listen to the nuance in what they said, because they made an effort to have their backs on Ben D’s episode by even referring to them as “skaters that YouTube”.
And it always seems that they 100% support skaters looking for alternative incomes streams other than pro skating.
It wouldn’t fit into their MO if they were all of a sudden saying in some way that they’re better than any skateboarder that YouTube’s.
(Yes I know you got a channel, been watching since you had less than 1000 subs, when you made a review on the x97’s vs the Dragons… and it straight up made me go buy x97’s the next day. Just didn’t want to seem like I was being combative in my comments :D )[close]
I think it was the last live episode that was like 4 hours long,within the first 20 or so minutes, it wasn’t exactly what they said it was how they said it. Chris and Kelly were having a back and forth about YT and how they get recommended videos from random skate channels and the whole exchange just felt really dismissive and condescending. I also should state that I was a bit buzzed when I watched it so the possibility of me taking something out of context is entirely possible lol. I’ll revisit it and if I was just in my feelings over something minuscule I’ll modify my comment lol. Also really appreciate you watching my shit, man. I hope you liked the X97’s. I ended up swapping back to F4’s shortly after just out of preference but I still recommend those wheels to people looking for a softer ride.[close]
off topic but the x97s saved my knees and ankles i can skate for so much longer too with them because they're fast as hell and you don't have to push as much. they're not as fast as dragons but they dont get in the way of slides the way dragons do

Furthermore, I'll repeat myself about how I don't care about the valid criticism. I see those comments on their youtube, discord, etc as well and don't take issue with them. Everyone is entitled to those opinions and once in a while I even agree with some of them. I've even gone as far as going on a podcast and defending seemingly "haters" for being just as valid sometimes in their criticism and passion for caring about the a show.
Sadly everything degrades to ad-hominem for the sake of entertainment online. I can't do anything about that, apparently no one can or it would have happened by now.
I've said all I could possibly ever want to say about this. Believe what you will.

There were a lot of valid criticisms being made that prompted you to respond about "life gurus". Even the people responding to you since have been pretty tame as far as the internet goes. You haven't acknowledged a single actual point and just keep insisting that everyone's a troll. That would be like me reducing the Nine Club's community to all of the unchecked transphobic dickheads on Marbie's comment section, or the people applauding Jason Jesse for discussing being a washed up Nazi. It's a broad brush to paint with and an immature way to look at the world.

You _must_ be referring to how I didn't single any specific person out, but I don't think you're even reading the full thread, since you said I called "everyone" a troll, when i consistently used wording much differently than "everyone", and the mere fact that _some_ people are literally trolling me in between each response.
You're also cherrypicking and doing everything you claim I am. Not a single response about how I've defended healthy criticism. I'm going with the other guy who just said this place is a cesspool because I've already put enough effort into trying to have a better discussion. The only thing I'm guilty of is I shouldn't have worded it as "are you guys skaters or life coaches?" but again, I have to point out the irony that you can dish it out all day but can't take even an ounce back.
I've truly exhausted all I could say about this. See my previous posts for any further clarification. Going back to occasional read-only mode and won't bother pointing out the obvious hypocrisies I notice since it accomplishes nothing but a waste of typing.
Rkulla is clearly a typo of “krulla”, an authentically Boston pronunciation and misspelling of cruller. We also know, Roger bagley, a Boston native, has espoused his affection for dunkin donuts and specifically their crullers multiple times….
Furthermore, if you add up rkullas rep and posts, you get -12. Then, after subtracting eldy, steezus, and roger, the former on screen hosts of the nine club shows, you get -9, as in the 9 club…
Rkulla = Roger bagley???? Psyop confirmed.

Oh for sure there is. People probably play reruns of old nine clubs for background noise and to get that sense of familiarity and security. It’s not actually that far fetched if you think about it, it’s a skateboarding podcast that’s very “good vibes only” and requires almost no bandwidth to process. Reality is fuckin scary and unpredictable and some people just need some kind of life raft to hold onto. Same reason people play the same old sitcoms all the time or tune into some brainless talk show everyday. The Ol buddies are always there to ease your existential dread.

I like the Nine Club.
It hasn't always been easy but overall it's easy listening.
I called Crob out for his YT obsession on here and got an almost instant response from the man himself, so besides over-reacting to criticism, they are listening/lurking.
It's fine to criticise the Nine Club but at the same time you can't please everyone, and it seems like some of the haters will just hate regardless.
I don't know how long it's been going but I understand a lot of people can't be bothered to wait over five years for a product to finally get streamlined.
There are a couple of instances where I listen, on commutes and when I was unemployed with time to waste.
I can imagine it might serve well as background noise for a skateshop.
Keep in mind, the real world and news swamp has been a very depressing place for the last decade at least, so something light humoured like a 5-0/switch crook debate or Crob accidentally setting fire to an Emerica box goes a long way.
I'm currently scratching my head at how they are going to manage the SOTY board/debate they have going. You'd think with his tech know-how, Crob would hook up a digital display or something.

Yeah no shot Chris. Last weekend I watched a guy that was a very good skateboarder try to back 50-50 that for a little while. He didn't even come close to getting to the top of it.[close]

Oh for sure there is. People probably play reruns of old nine clubs for background noise and to get that sense of familiarity and security. It’s not actually that far fetched if you think about it, it’s a skateboarding podcast that’s very “good vibes only” and requires almost no bandwidth to process. Reality is fuckin scary and unpredictable and some people just need some kind of life raft to hold onto. Same reason people play the same old sitcoms all the time or tune into some brainless talk show everyday. The Ol buddies are always there to ease your existential dread.[close]
IDK abut favorite but it is easy listening. Not so much the experience or the live stuff but the talk-to-skateboard-industry-people episodes are really interesting to me. I did a roadtrip once and binged 30 hours of it.
I have enough bad vibes in my life, so something that is just upbeat is nice. I even have a mug a family member gave me as a gift.
It did get a little deep in youtube algorithm nonsense for a while and I miss Roger's weird energy on camera (I like Jeron though too), but overall it is a force for good in the universe.

Fakie salad, case closed
I always liked the bunt dude’s argument on trick names that if you know what someone is referring to when talking about a trick then who the fuck cares. I get that’s it’s fun to talk about to an extent but it’s not something to take seriously and lord over someone as if your skate knowledge is superior as Kelly was doing. Especially not to fucking Jeron Wilson. It’s amazing the lack of awareness Kelly has, somewhere in that argument you can tell Jeron is getting really over it but he just keeps prodding him and not letting it go, meanwhile he’s thinking it’s chill just laughing about it. Know your place Kelly.
I get the photo argument a bit, just not how Jeron described. If I saw a photo of it going down something I could tell it was fakie by the posture but in a literal sense looking at it wouldn’t it be a switch nosegrind? My 13 year old self thought of it as a fakie Ollie to switch nosegrind, which is a mouthful and didn’t really make sense once I learned otherwise. Nollie and fakie when were referring to fs or bs flip tricks are also flip flopped. A nollie nose grind regular footed is the same motion as a fake five-o goofy footed it’s just reversed when going fakie considering you’re going backwards. That’s how I thought of it at least….Expand QuoteI always liked the bunt dude’s argument on trick names that if you know what someone is referring to when talking about a trick then who the fuck cares.

I agree with the Bunt take. The argument between Kelly and Jeron was simply awkward after a point more than anything. Yes he was prodding, but also what was even the argument honestly, are we gonna be real on here? That’s a valid 5-0 and no one has ever thought differently.
The argument of if you showed me a still photo what truck do you think it is?
I’ve never heard that argument before and I think it is not a strong one.
Truck is a fake 5-0.

Fakie salad makes sense but if we're using that logic then there's no such thing as a fakie fs crook or fakie bs crook. It would be called a fakie b/s 5-0 and fakie suski.

I support this. I got in an argument on IG with the guy who skated across America about this. He kept ignoring what I was saying and just kept calling a “fakie front crook” a fakie suski and I kept telling him there’s no fs suski and he just kept looping his argument. Infuriating. I deleted my comment cause then everyone started coming to his defense lol
(https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/GYYAAOSwa6pjyemQ/s-l1600.jpg)Yeah there is no name for a crooked 5-0 except backside and turning towards your toes.
That's just a regular frontside 5-0. He's going into the bank so he's slightly turning but the truck is fully on.
Nikolai piombo would be my example of someone who's making a front suski a thing. Maybe to the point they could be called piombo grinds

Bunt guys also made a good point that it’s also the easiest way to say it, hence we say fakie manny instead of fakie Ollie to switch nose manual. Fakie 5-0 sounds way cleaner.

Would it be totally wrong to say the nine club is a bit of a Crailtap.com v3.0 or something?
The old website had a load of sidebars and delivered something weekly even daily.
The nine club has a load of regular features and spin offs and delivers content weekly (and almost daily).
I’m sometimes surprised they don’t push Craig products more on the podcast but it’s already a pretty good avenue for promotion.
They mentioned on the previous live episode how close they came to having Megan on. I’d love to hear a proper interview with her but at the same time listening to an employee interview their boss and founder of their main sponsor seems a bit weird.

Chris’ fascination with salaries / finances is probably a personal interest of his, one that him and his crew talk about regularly. He needs to understand that getting the “nitty gritty” on skaters’ backstories is deeper than understanding how much money they made from video game royalties. There are so many far more interesting things to bring up.

I think if he went about it in a better way it’d be a great question as a stepping stone to have more transparency in skating pay and benefit everyone as whole but I’m talking pro worker reform and the corporate overlords don’t want us to have that.

Appleyard, Rowley or Bastien are all possibilities...

I think that if a guest wasn’t comfortable or didn’t want to talk about money they should just say so, and if necessary have whatever was said cut from the final edit. The nine club tries to present itself in the most professional way possible with all the gear to boot so that shouldn’t be too much of an ask.
That said, I also like that Chris pulls back the curtain on the industry by discussing money and other business dealings because whether you like it or not, the skate industry and pursuit of a career as a skateboarder was/can/could be notoriously shady. Every other day it seems there’s a top skater who gets hurt and is left hanging or stuck with an addiction problem and no financial back up. Just like there are loads of no contracts/paid in gear scenarios to wade through.
Chris loves to tell his personal story of having a lawyer intervene on his adio contract. We only know his side of the story but it serves as a good warning for future skate entrepreneurs.
True though that discussing business and politics could make a lot of potential guests decline their invitation to join for a talk.

I’m hoping a guest will eventually turn it around and grill Crob about how much he makes from the show. Also, might as well ask about his earnings from still having his name on a Crail board while the heat is on. Would love to see how comfortable he feels answering those questions in front of a camera.
I can’t really picture Deluxe pulling the plug on their companies, ADI and Metropolitan, solely because they are doing too well. Has that happened before within the industry?

It's pretty well known that Deluxe canned Metropolitan back in the day not because of lack of sales, but because people thought Metropolitan was doper than Spitfire and dudes were wanting to skate for Metropolitan instead of Spitfire.

I know this is a long shot, but Ron Allen had an essay about skating Oakland at night in one of the early issues of Slap. This was back when you could hit all the regular Oakland spots--Tech, Wells Fargo, the museum, Rockridge BART, etc.--and not see another skater. Anyone know if there's a scan of that somewhere?

Steve Van Doren on tomorrow's Nine Club.Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this. Those days of Triple Crowns were awesome. Rowley gave my sister 2 pairs of his first shoes, some for her and some for me before they were in CCS or anything. Of course nobody believed me at school when I said they came from the man himself.
There was this really awesome website in 1998/1999 that had a lot of videos of Wisconsin (Milwaukee?) skaters. It was when there really wasn’t much online videos to watch, but this site had a LOT of video to watch.I only know of that website from the Mostly Skateboarding podcast. Pretty interesting to learn about
A lot of it was your homey camcorder type stuff, but Mr. Lugka himself as a young buck was at the very tippy top of talent.
I remember thinking that this dude is fucking GOOOD: I wonder if he’ll be pro.
Sure enough, like the next year or something he was blowing up.
The smoothest thing I think he was doing was 270 boards. Maybe even a flip in there.
I don’t know… he just always had talent and really smooth style that stood out.
If anyone can remember the website…
Wait, a minute… was it… WISKATE.com? Does that ring a bell to anyone?

He definitely got a massive erection from the money talk.
But it got better again right after the k-swiss thing.
Lutzka is a weird case. Good skater but I always thought he was hella lame because of his sponsors and horrendous taste in outfits.
But I'm impressed with how smart he was with marketing himself and his investments. Dude made bank.

Crazy we’re talking about the same guy who turned down a spot on Toy Machine to stay on Illenium
It’s interesting how a take on another person differs from person to person.
I’m listening and it seems that Lutza is super hyped and he just keeps talking and talking, making so others have to jump in to say anything.
But I like show, so my bias is that everyone’s is good.

Yeah that’s how I saw it too. But of course people are quick to blame crob. And I don’t even like the show that much. It definitely has its moments though.
My favorite part of the Steve Van Doren episode is when he’s describing potentially owning a restaurant and how the boards and stuff on the walls would be ever changing every three months or so “like a gecko that changes colors and stuff” except he accidentally called it a Greco

was waiting to see this. SUPER uncomfortable to watch. I usually dont mind crob either. In his defense though, andy was getting kinda annoying during the last hour of the show. poor kelly had to keep jumping in to save the show lmao.

also acts like he's doing all the work, which i assume he does a lot, but it's almost overkill now. i'm getting bored of him replaying skate parts/tricks too, if they cut down the replays and overanalysis of skate parts for SOTY, the live show could be an hour shorter. it's getting repetitive and becoming content overload. kelly and jeron need to be there because they provide more substance that's chill and to the point.
he's starting to take it way too seriously, and it shows on camera. whole crew gonna be on the path to burnout if they aren't already. if this is his full time gig, he's gotta find a better way to scale. i'm a fan of the show btw. haters can come for me if they want.

I do miss Eldy being on the show. He was random but it was nice when he would very stupidly try and mix it up
Sometimes it feels like Kelly is the only one keeping in mind during the live show that there is an audience who listens instead of watching, but even that isnt enough. At least for when they review clips
Maybe they should just host a regular ass talk show outside of skate if they want a wider reach

I’ve said before he’s just not compelling enough to be a big YouTuber but now the disconnect between him and the kids is much larger than it was 8 years ago when they started.[close]
yep 100%. it's not easy to make solid $ on YT and I've appreciated what he/TNC do for skateboarding. it's actually insane how much of an operation they have running and how consistent they are. it's high quality and consistent. when they take one week off a year, i'm like hell, take 2, you earned it!!! it's gotta be exhausting to churn out the regular show along with the lives that consistently for so many years.
but i think they've reached a growth cap. skateboarding is so niche, unless there's a major boom in the industry, their channel growth is probably at a plateau. it even feels like crob's trying force taglines vs. letting them come naturally: "wipe your mouth" (still don't get that one) and the rog soundbite saying "i love 69" is getting SO OLD and forced.
i'm no expert but IMO, they could scale the platform/channel they already have by creating a network of other skaters who want to create their own shows. kinda like how thrasher posts parts on their channel. i'm seeing a few pros starting to throw their hat in the ring by producing their own talk show type content. P-Rod, Mikey Taylor, etc. Whether the content is skate related or not, they're still skaters.
or would love to see content and interviews from local crews/shops. there's some sick local crews and videos out there who don't have a big enough platform to share their stuff. even if it's older vids. or honestly, i'd just love to hear what local shop skaters/owners have to say. doesn't need to be a full blown 2 hr. interview, just pop them in for a zoom segment on the live show for 15 min and vibe.
Crob and the team as it is right now just can't sustain this as it is. and i highly doubt they're getting a ton of money when you figure pay gets distributed between the 3 hosts, rog, guys behind the scenes and overhead costs.
also, the old merch was better. i actually bought a couple of the appleyard mugs they released years ago and still love 'em. i WANT to support them and buy their gear but the new merch designs are boring i just cant justify it.

To be honest, the chico episode is so much better because they all rode on teams together so know oneanother well so there's less rambling and interrupting.
Chico épisode is pretty damn good.
The Chico/crail break up talk is real. Even the Kelly/chico bit. No spoilers.

His spin off is a good starting point on that idea but so far it’s just crob skating the same westside spots. I’d love to see crob go to nyc and see the spots he says he could do tricks on .

I love Chico but it's Ill timed with the distraction HAMMER on Chris's other channel.
They go to what I think might be the museum formerly known as skate lab. Chris tre flip (attempts) clay wheels to death. Pulls hamstring in the process.
How come he's got no partner? That mofo is way too cool to not have ass piled up to his earlobes. Or is he just super private?
He looks super clean and looks very organized. I would think that being clearly visible on the tv and being a famous nose grinder he'd be like on some super sex 24/7
Idk man. I think he's a very handsome young lad

Chico episode was actually great, very enjoyable. The discussion re chocolate from chico was great, he’s clearly not afraid to speak his mind. Respectable, chico’s a real one. That said, the response from chris and jeron was borderline rude at times. They kept making up excuses for chico’s legitimate qualms with craig. Sure they’re not gonna say anything negative, but even a “that sucks man, i’m sorry that happened to you” would have been nice.
Chico episode was fantastic. I had heard bits and pieces about his childhood and immigration to the states, but hearing it all laid out was pretty heavy. I am an even bigger fan now.
Crail sounds sus as hell.

Great episode. Chico rules.
“Your favorite pro is one of the biggest kooks.” ;D
Chico seems like one of those dudes who’s a bullshitter until it’s time to get serious, and then he’s the realest dude around.
Having someone on who wasn’t worried about towing the line and just said what he wanted was refreshing. To treat one of your originals like that is a scummy look on Mike and Rick’s part. They blasted Marc for how he went about things and then turned around and treated Chico like that, way hypocritical

Like Chico said, Crail is good at sweeping things under the rug and not addressing issues (probably a veiled comment on the Yonnie and Kenny situations).

If you’re not making enough to pay your employees you don’t deserve to be in business. Regardless of the industry. Glad Chico got out and is doing well for himself.
I would imagine cash flow would be tricky with a business that big, paying invoices for manufacturing, rent on your building, sitting on hundreds of thousands of dollars in product, paying for licensing with sanrio and all the other big ones.
Probably easiest to wait to pay your riders, doesn't make it ok and they should be keeping people in the loop.

They probably were still paying their actual employees on time. Sadly, the riders are all contractors and it’s a lot easier not to pay them on time without penalty. Not saying that’s cool, but that’s the reason why we hear stories about riders getting paid late all the time.

This is why pro/am skateboarders need a union. It’s absurd they go without healthcare and rely on a handshake to get paid at this point in the industry.

Chris Roberts please stop saying “everything happens for a reason”.Dude, it’s like a double edged sword.
Everything does not.
Most things happen for no reason, or at least no reason that sits within either causal logic (this led to that) or / and something happened because of a predetermined outcome (‘starting your own brand was always going to work’ is easy to say when the brand has worked).
“Everything happens for a reason” is very insulting to the majority of the world who live daily with hardships that are no fault of their own.
Mass shootings, having your neighbourhood bombed, drowning at sea while trying to seek asylum, sexual violence, genocide, hunger, terminal illness, genetic disease, stray bullets, mass layoffs, foreclosure… etc.
The problem is, podcast hosts only say “everything happens for a reason” to describe an upturn in fortunes.
What Roberts means to say is, “good things can come out of bad situations”.
Or like resident human-centric host Kelly Hart likes to say: “it was a blessing in disguise”.

“I’m glad I’m not me” is such a weird title for a guy who’s only had one job that wasn’t skateboarding[close]
Sorry, but that is wrong.
He worked as a freelance tech and (3D)designer for a few companies that had absolutely nothing to do with skating.
(He worked in the jewellery and the high diamond industry, so pretty sure he made a lot of money.)
He always was into computer/tech stuff and he obviously was always good with it.[close]
Crob worked in the jewelry and diamond industry? Not an expert in Crob history by any means but that’s the first time hearing about this. Any source of info for that or is this an April 1st type of comment?[close]
Not an april first 1st joke at all :-)
He always was into design/computers and learned how to design himself. He did those designjobs while injured and kept doing them on a freelance basis afterwards.
Apparently he was/is very good at it.
He has very briefly mentioned this before on older "experience" episodes of the nine club.
I just want to see Crob do some balanced nose grinds again. I don't know about the awkward funny guy shtick.

I would love a Drehobl or Wade ep, but I would assume it is Karl, I believe the original Think sticker with the lightbulb was a sticker that he got from his dentist's office/his dentist gave him, if I am not mistaken. That should be cool, even if its not Karl I am down for some early think-era stories. Wait, has Karl been on? Im not too well versed

This is a good watch
Episode is good thus far.
Gotta commend Chris’ pronunciation of Toronto.
Great interview so far too and I am halfway done. I will say, this is one of the episodes with multiple guest that just flowed nicely. Perhaps they all just know not to talk over each other.they said he had a full part iirc
Also hopefully James Hardy had some clips sent in for the Bunt video. That'd be epic.
Weird to believe people like this actually exist.Probably someone that started skating after 40. Which seems to be their fan demographic.

Honestly the nine club probably gives crail more business than anything else. Not like walking away from a trick for his personal YT channel is gonna get him a write up. Someone asked recently on a live show how tf he still has a board without actually doing anything for the brand and amidst scoffing and harrumphing Roger groaned from behind the wall “he puts out a new part every week” which to me says they need him over there.[close]
Would it be totally wrong to say the nine club is a bit of a Crailtap.com v3.0 or something?
The old website had a load of sidebars and delivered something weekly even daily.
The nine club has a load of regular features and spin offs and delivers content weekly (and almost daily).
I’m sometimes surprised they don’t push Craig products more on the podcast but it’s already a pretty good avenue for promotion.
They mentioned on the previous live episode how close they came to having Megan on. I’d love to hear a proper interview with her but at the same time listening to an employee interview their boss and founder of their main sponsor seems a bit weird.
Donovan making the distinction between the nine club discussing skating amongst their peers, and the bunt discussing skating as fans/outside perspective was really important.
It’s been years since I’ve been able to tolerate the nine club, but I do understand their need to not make waves. I just wish they had said that upfront instead of the constant “if we don’t like it, we don’t talk about it” excuse that they always respond with.

It's a good distinction but ultimately I think that topic coming up at all stems from the Nine Club continually misunderstanding people's criticism of them being "too nice". I don't think any reasonable person is mad that they act outwardly nice to their peers or choose not to talk shit on videos. I think people are bothered that they act like yes men to any given subject, no matter how dismal or disingenuous, and present it as positivity. It's things like them smiling and nodding along to a guy trying to make excuses for Gator raping and murdering a woman, or trying to find "the bright side" to racist police brutality, or inviting a nazi on to defend himself. Those things aren't "nice". It's spinelessness packaged as politeness, and that is an extremely valid criticism that they often dismiss as keyboard warrior drivel.
Crob et al just can’t handle the fact two guys from Toronto are more liked than they are (and make a better & more enjoyable skate podcast)

Sometimes reading people’s complaints and comments about the nine club really makes me wonder why you’re listening/watching at all?! Just switch off and enjoy those extra couple of hours a week.
I listen to the experience. Wouldn’t mind them watching the videos before meeting so they’ll have more substantiated thoughts and fleshed our ideas/connections/observations. I get it they’re busy and probably don’t want to watch everything then meet but wouldn’t hurt imo. I also don’t watch any of the videos since I don’t have that kind of time but I’m often cycling or commuting and that’s when I have podcast time and having light skate chat background noise is nice. Just hard to follow sometimes when there’s no visual.
On a similar note, does FA radio post to any streaming services? Having YouTube open on a device isn’t as convenient for me.

Because skateboarding is a relatively small ecosystem and the nine club have made themselves almost unavoidable. You’re gonna see it almost every time you open YouTube in your suggested videos if you’ve ever watched anything skateboarding related. You’ll see ads on IG even if you don’t follow them. They’ve made sure to make themselves as visible as possible across all entertainment media. It’s like saying if you don’t like McDonald’s don’t eat there, ok, but your friends eat there and you see enough ads to where you still have an opinion on the company even if it’s been years since you had a McNugget.

Something else Nineclub has to navigate is the time pressure. I'm not totally sure of their process, but they have to drop their episodes, where the bunt has time to wait until their season starts. No doubt some of the stuff that's gone down on the nineclub they wish they could do over and pretty inexcusable but I recognize how it might happen.

I dunno, I'm talking more about their actual human reactions to things, not so much the show's construction. If time constraints are their excuse for letting things like that deranged Mark Oblow rant fly, then that still doesn't explain their borderline sociopathic reaction to it.

I don't think Eldridge thinks police brutality is actually good and I don't think those guys are actually nazi sympathizers. (well, maybe Roger based on his rightoid Twitter enagement). I do think they are incapable of dealing with an uncomfortable truth for more than 5 seconds, and because of that we get some toxic positivity brainrot that so many podcasters fall into.

I just find some people sound so put off by the show and start not picking at things that hardly matter, that I wonder why they put themselves through the trauma.
Don’t get me wrong, Nine club isn’t perfect. I’ve criticized them here too but when I tune in I know what I’m getting myself into.
People’s reactions remind me of those people who fly on budget airlines and get bent out of shape for not getting premium service. You get what you pay for. And Nine club’s free…

I shouldn’t have gone snooping around Rogers Twitter likes. I knew he was an Elon musk supporter but didn’t realize he was that deep into dogshit like Tucker Carlson.
My favorite part is they could just say ‘Slap is fine, it’s nice people actually care enough to comment’ or some BS. Which is also true- people care enough to discuss and engage about the show, which is far better than people just ignoring your shit (and being forced back into the jewelry and freelance production biz). But they constantly talk shit about Slap and then religiously read it, so they clearly enjoy this feedback loop for some reason.

Always find it peculiar when industry heads are like “slap = bad” because of a few harsh comments, but would never say the same about YouTube, Instagram, etc, which has just as much hateful rhetoric if not more. Guess they know better than to bite the hand that feeds, but won’t share that forgiveness across all skate media platforms.Imagine if SLAP was just “🔥🔥” comments

Only on clearance on the crail store well after SM started (back when you could buy things from past seasons for cost, but you didn’t have a say in what color the shirt was)

A podcast about podcasting is usually one of the worst things i can imagine listening to but the bunt boys made it tolerable. I don’t know if jeron said more than 10 sentences
TNC is a business and they're their own boss. Think about that. They're probably far more concerned with their own vision, their guests' opinions, their sponsors and with people who haven't heard of them or who stopped watching completely, than with people who "still tune in but have some complaints" -- just like a restaurant probably doesn't care about the customers who still come in yet write on yelp that it's "hit or miss" vs their investors, people who haven't tried it yet or had such a poor experience that they never came back.
They've talked about how no one says anything to them in person that read about online. Chris has said many times that he reads and welcomes constructive criticism but the insults usually just bother him for a few seconds and he moves on; just like anyone in here probably would if they have enough self-esteem.
This thread is fine for venting about what you didn't like, or praising what you did. _Maybe_ some ideas will get incorporated as they try new things but I wouldn't get hung up on expecting them to do it any way but the way they want to or the way the Youtube' algorithm (esp around demonetization) wants them to.
I wish I had that much power over everything, then my yelp reviews would have changed all the restaurants I've visited to be how I wanted but alas, it's not to be. There's power in numbers but there's more to numbers than comments.

and I can think all that and still get just as excited when a new episode drops every week and am thankful it does. This Joey Suriel episode is great so far. It's just good content to me, I over-analyze in enough things in life, podcasts to me are just an escape and/or learning opportunity. It seems far more depressing to me to find a way to make a podcast about skateboarders depressing.
This thread is the closest I've come to being depressed about it but not really, thankfully since I'm too addicted to TNC and related content. The News is 10x more depressing than SLAP could ever be.

I've been skating since the 80s, on the internet since the 90s, skated mostly alone after my friends quit since '93 and then me moving around a lot. I didn't _talk_ about skating again until The Nine Club chat came around, IG or a random comment on someone's youtube part. I rarely even talk on TNC discord and have a lot of other interests than skateboarding. Only so many hours in a day; have to pick and choose. Long way of saying, it's not that wild.
"Parasocial relationships are one-sided relationships, where one person extends emotional energy, interest and time, and the other party, the persona, is completely unaware of the other's existence." so most people in here regarding TNC?

Venice is right in mix of a a ton of skaters, which is also why it's easier for them to get guests there. Plus they skate the curbs and have encountered a lot of viewers in the wild. It's been over 7 years. Also, we all know most people don't say what they think in person be it because they're afraid or are just trying to be nice, which sounds a lot like we're all part of a Nine Club called society.

Not sure if you're intentionally exaggerating or just confused, but i've donated less than $500 this entire year TNC and even on my best month never hit thousands in a month. If my opinion has more weight the less I give then it has way more weight than you thought I guess. Sorry to disappoint by dissing your point.

I appreciate the fact they’re regular dudes and they know quite a bit about skateboarding. I like that approach. However, in regards to their abilities in terms of being in front of a microphone or camera, there’s not much there and they haven’t really improved over the course of their seven years as a podcast. To be clear, I like the Bunt and I appreciate how they don’t manufacture any fake energy, but traditionally, these guys are not exceptional broadcasters.

i will fully concede to clowning on you in the past, and i want to apologize. as long as you don't have kids, im not going to fault you for the decisions you make. i think it's wrong of chris roberts and roger to take advantage of you, especially if they're taking college tuition from your children, but that isn't my piece to speak on on the internet.
i hope you get some help, i hope you find some happiness, and i hope that you're doing okay. and if you are - there's a lot of starving people out there. maybe consider diversifying your donations. putting food in the mouths of starving people is a tax write off. giving the camera man of hot ones money to buy MAGA hats is not. i hope you can see who needs your funds. again, i hope you're alright. if you need some other places to make your money count i will do my best to help you. sincerely.

He definitely seems to be down with some very trump adjacent people. When you start digging into who follows who and who likes what, it can be a big fuckin bummer. I was surprised (and confused) when I discovered PJ Ladd of all people is following Trump and Tucker Carlson on IG :(
Expand QuoteExpand QuoteExpand QuoteExpand QuoteExpand QuoteDonovan making the distinction between the nine club discussing skating amongst their peers, and the bunt discussing skating as fans/outside perspective was really important.
It’s been years since I’ve been able to tolerate the nine club, but I do understand their need to not make waves. I just wish they had said that upfront instead of the constant “if we don’t like it, we don’t talk about it” excuse that they always respond with.[close]
It's a good distinction but ultimately I think that topic coming up at all stems from the Nine Club continually misunderstanding people's criticism of them being "too nice". I don't think any reasonable person is mad that they act outwardly nice to their peers or choose not to talk shit on videos. I think people are bothered that they act like yes men to any given subject, no matter how dismal or disingenuous, and present it as positivity. It's things like them smiling and nodding along to a guy trying to make excuses for Gator raping and murdering a woman, or trying to find "the bright side" to racist police brutality, or inviting a nazi on to defend himself. Those things aren't "nice". It's spinelessness packaged as politeness, and that is an extremely valid criticism that they often dismiss as keyboard warrior drivel.[close]
Something else Nineclub has to navigate is the time pressure. I'm not totally sure of their process, but they have to drop their episodes, where the bunt has time to wait until their season starts. No doubt some of the stuff that's gone down on the nineclub they wish they could do over and pretty inexcusable but I recognize how it might happen.[close]
I dunno, I'm talking more about their actual human reactions to things, not so much the show's construction. If time constraints are their excuse for letting things like that deranged Mark Oblow rant fly, then that still doesn't explain their borderline sociopathic reaction to it.
And no, I don't think Chris, Jeron and Kelly are actually sociopaths relishing in Gator's crimes. I don't think Eldridge thinks police brutality is actually good and I don't think those guys are actually nazi sympathizers. (well, maybe Roger based on his rightoid Twitter enagement). I do think they are incapable of dealing with an uncomfortable truth for more than 5 seconds, and because of that we get some toxic positivity brainrot that so many podcasters fall into. That is why people criticize them for being "too nice".[close]
I shouldn’t have gone snooping around Rogers Twitter likes. I knew he was an Elon musk supporter but didn’t realize he was that deep into dogshit like Tucker Carlson.[close]
Just took a look... he liked a post about the Kate Middleton/satanic/Rosemary's Baby conspiracy. Plus a Tim Pool post, some illumaninati stuff, Epstein stuff, some Ai eclipse fakes, and junk like this:
https://twitter.com/BGatesIsaPyscho/status/1741071151235752446?t=_EWbXDexzWhrfGvL-P8Irw&s=19
Plus lots of stuff gobbing off Musk and Tesla.
Roger stop looking at boomer alt right shit and touch grass. You can't call Slap toxic when you're like this bro.
this is awesomeExpand QuoteExpand QuoteExpand QuoteTNC is a business and they're their own boss. Think about that. They're probably far more concerned with their own vision, their guests' opinions, their sponsors and with people who haven't heard of them or who stopped watching completely, than with people who "still tune in but have some complaints" -- just like a restaurant probably doesn't care about the customers who still come in yet write on yelp that it's "hit or miss" vs their investors, people who haven't tried it yet or had such a poor experience that they never came back.
They've talked about how no one says anything to them in person that read about online. Chris has said many times that he reads and welcomes constructive criticism but the insults usually just bother him for a few seconds and he moves on; just like anyone in here probably would if they have enough self-esteem.
This thread is fine for venting about what you didn't like, or praising what you did. _Maybe_ some ideas will get incorporated as they try new things but I wouldn't get hung up on expecting them to do it any way but the way they want to or the way the Youtube' algorithm (esp around demonetization) wants them to.
I wish I had that much power over everything, then my yelp reviews would have changed all the restaurants I've visited to be how I wanted but alas, it's not to be. There's power in numbers but there's more to numbers than comments.[close]
That was a depressing read on multiple levels.[close]
I know the internet is a fantasy and the truth hurts but let me leave you with something more pleasant. Dogs and cats are cuddly and need homes. Please adopt one if you can.

I've already answered the question about how I have donated waaaaay less than even the smallest estimates I've heard on here, not to mention did so mostly before they had big sponsors and were on Zoom and since then has mostly been in the form of gifted subs. And how TNC is far from the only place I've given to. I don't have kids and do budget things just fine.
The rest of what you said is quite the reach. I've never given to them for any reason but that they have been a positive force in skateboarding. People here clearly love to make stuff up and gossip more than they care about facts. I've tried clearing the air on here on more than one occasion and still see crap like this. I suspect if anyone else tried to come on here to engage and clear the air that it wouldn't help and would just be used as fuel for more nonsense.
OMG, I just realized I tipped a waiter last night but didn't find out how they might spend it! Oh no, I gifted 5 subs the other day which goes to random viewers. If I thought _that_ way I might need some help.
I've also had people make up obvious lies about me on here and no one gave them crap for it. So does that make slap complicit? Do I care to trash other people? Nope, just defending myself from constant lies and exaggerations for being giving lol.

supporting the nine club supports skateboarding how exactly? i mean if you like the podcast then go off and pay them but don’t try to flip it like that. dude supports a podcast, he doesn’t buy boards, he doesn’t go to the skateshop, he listens to a podcast. skating since the 80s once a yeari don’t know how much the dude skates or anything about him, nor do i care. it’s his money and it’s not hurting anyone so i don’t see why anybody gives a fuck? it’s like if i went into the shoe thread and see someone posting a bunch of expensive dunks, then start telling them they need to make better life choices and saying i hope they don’t have a kid…? it’s just weird. why does anyone give a shit? and i mean if they didn’t get any donations or support i don’t imagine the show would be able to carry on or be worth a shit if it did. i don’t know how much money these guys are making in their own lives but, they’re definitely not getting rich off some dude donating a few grand a year (if that) and buying cyber trucks?

If you want to score a bunch of money from Slap, I know one thing you could do.
^^^ The fact that even some total strangers are frustrated with what people are saying, imagine being me. Especially after I've said multiple times on here that I've skated for decades, support MANY other skateboarding things; including skate charities and other channels, spend a lot of money on skateboards, both riding and collecting, most of my donations are gifted subs (which aren't spendable by the nine club but go directly to other viewers to get more content access), etc.
Most of my posts on slap have literally been me explaining that, and somehow people remain ignorant of it or just say "shut up about it" and then say all I do is talk about the nine club and how bad slap is (which is further annoying since I kick started this thread about me after only talking about how I think slap is fine. Sure, I haven't posted elsewhere on slap, but i follow 1700 skaters/companies on IG, subscribe to a lot of skate content on youtube, watch most new parts that come out, etc. I don't just watch TNC.
Trust me, anything you think is annoying about all this is 10x more annoying to me. At this point, let's forget about me trying to convince you that I care about more than just TNC and you can stop trying to convince me that I'm buying them Teslas or whatever. This whole thing is redundant and boring, you're right about that.

do you by chance happen to smell toast?
Another way of summing this up, like someone did above with bullet points:
- Slap: we are the truth.
- TNC: out of touch and too nice (yet does some amazing episodes that are right on).
- Me: A big fan of TNC, new to slap and thus equivalent to TNC and not one of us.
That much I get, it's fine. This part I don't:
- Slap: Wish TNC and/or its minions would listen to us and engage.
- Me: [tries repeatedly]
- Slap: f that guy.
Whatever the reason, at least I tried but I think all that did was send a message to others not to bother, which I also pointed out before.
When TNC had The Bunt on recently, I had a comment on that video about how it's great that in our polarized world that 2 podcasts could come together and clear the air that they don't hate each other but I ended up deleting after a few people replied the exact opposite thing; too many people just want to keep the divides going. The least they could do is admit it and stop saying it's because of the other. It's one thing for politics and religion to do that stuff but skateboarding? People take it that seriously and far and then try to joke about me taking this too seriously. I do but so do you.

Getting back on track; former Nine Club fans, when did it fall off for you? I used to be a massive fan, wouldn't miss an episode and would watch every one in one go, then it all changed.
it was the Tremaine episode. The Big Brother and Jackass story has been told so many times and is so well known, yet Crob and the crew are all "Huh? Fascinating, bro." at the most well known parts of the story.
"What about Spike, did he have a nickname?" - Crob
Fucking hell, bro. Having such little knowledge of the history of the industry they grew up in was the last straw for me.
I will watch the occasional episode now, but Crob has become more and more insufferable. He's the worst part of every episode, unless 1010 or Oblow are on of course....

I try to treat everyone the same; what's a troll but an ignorant/immature person that still has some hope. We might as well shut down all commenting online in general since it's all one big troll-feeder but at least there's some non trolls too. Or maybe I'm just a troll in a different form... None of us evolved for this type of communication and it will be like this for thousands of years before we are.

The criticism might be less confusing if people didn't conflate the LIVE show with the regular interview show. They're very different formats. I seen some people say they like the LIVE but not the regular one, and vice/versa. Or some say they stopped watching when it was the EXPERIENCE show.
The new LIVE show has been on a year and is similar to EXPERIENCE but doesn't have Steezus and Eldy. So all of those complaints about them are pretty outdated. I like those guys, so nothing against them.
Saying all of TNC sucks because you might have hated the old EXPERIENCE show seems strange. Chris has a whole separate show called "I'm Glad I'm Not Me" that is also a different format.
It may all seem like the same thing because it's got Crob at the center "Nine Club with Chris Roberts" but they're all totally different to me. I gaurantee that at least some of your favorite pros have been on the MAIN interview show and don't you think that it's kind of insulting to them to act like they went on some whack show just because you didn't like certain guests or certain side-shows?
Kelly, I know you’re reading this. Roberts is an asshole to you and clearly doesn’t give a fuck about your opinions. Every time you speak, Roberts has already dismissed whatever you’re going to say before you say it. You can see it on his face and hear it in his voice. Maybe you’ve found a way to justify it. Maybe it’s a gimmick for the show. Regardless, you know exactly what I’m talking about.

When I got back into skating I’d watch every episode and geek out on all of of the new clips on the experience and feel like I was watching videos with my homies again, it was very welcoming and I didn’t feel like I was so disconnected from the culture I’d lost contact with over my 20’s and early 30’s. It was a nice reentry along with the love letters and Ben degros etc. typical old head post pandemic existential crisis shit.
Then I’d start to notice little things that put me off, like I didn’t realize the band I’d been following was part of a Christian youth ministry and when I paid attention to the lyrics I suddenly looked around and realized everyone was praying and looking towards the sky instead of the stage. This wasn’t the kind of party I thought it was.
All the little inside yucks between the “ol buddies” Eldritch being an absolute insufferable douchebag, fuckin “steezus christ” the cult like commitment to ignore any indication of criticism from the audience, Kelly laughing at fucking nothing because he’s nervous or something. Crob’s shtick about being an egomaniac actually just him revealing who he actually is. Etc etc. what really put the nail in the coffin for me was when they were discussing Leo Baker and Jeron kept referring to him as “she” I DM’d him about it and he responded in some vague half apologetic way then ignored me when I suggested he could make a huge difference if he addressed his mistake even just really briefly next week. He never did.
The story was just a clip of him saying “she” and I had typed out *he and tagged him

Interesting, I haven't noticed that. I still don't like it.

But every time he speaks, Roberts makes an assy face. At least Jeron gives him the time of day.

when I was like 16 skating around pier 7 I got to meet him. He was genuinely nice to me and my friends even though we were probably annoying and obviously not from there. I never forgot that. He’s a special dude.
I’ve told this story here before, but my first time skating in SF I met Karl. I was probably only 10 or 11 and the first spot my mom took me and my brother to was pier 7. I was trying to ollie up the small part for a good 20 mins and when I finally made it and was preparing to roll of the bigger part I was snatched of my board and spun around in a big circle. “Hell yeah lil homie!” I heard from above. “You got that!” I look up and it’s Karl with a big smile on his face. So stoked for everyone at any level. I will always remember that.
It was a heavy session: Karl, Henry Sanchez, Pat Washington, Fabrizio Santos, and I wanna say a young Jack Curtain were there. Sanch yelled at me for getting in his way. I’ll remember that forever too.
My mom bought me a pair of AWS wheels and my brother Spitfires from a sketchy looking dude who had an Indy logo tattoo that was colored outside the lines. I really wanted the Dan Pageau world deck he had but my mom didn’t want to give him more than $20 lol
I've had a Max Allure deck that I liked and it looked a little different. Took some pics and DM'ed Karl. Turns out it was a run they did during Covid that was supposed to be team only. He got my address and sent me 3 more for free. Haven't found one of them since, but can only imagine he hooks up kids and his local community just as much.
Karl denying $10k a month for 4 years to do an Ipath like spinoff through Osiris is insane. I don’t blame the guy cause it’s Osiris…but still.

in all seriousness i have grown to like him more over the years due to the things you mentioned. he doesn’t trail off the way crob does and he actually asks interesting questions when it does start to shift away from the focus point. i’m all for it going off topic at times the way any podcast does as they all warm up to each other, it doesn’t always have to be crob “sarcastically” talking himself up though. the sw flip manny thing was fine as a staple joke of the show with the tablets playing and all that but man, he’s really gotten carried away with it. kelly is just an oc bro deep down & makes himself a target sometimes almost purposefully seemingly.
one thing kelly does that i have noticed more recently that almost bothers me even more than crob’s narcissistic sarcasm is he will one up people in a very nonchalant, almost “slide” kind of way. for instance, in this episode karl is talking about how he was struggling a bit to do the 360 flip over the gap in it’s official, whilst thanking kelly & complimenting him on how well he does giving trick tips. kelly is just like “yeah that was fun man, i think that’s the day i nollie tre’d it.” i really can’t stand when people do that. it’s funny too because he never does it to chris when he brings up the sw flip manny even though kelly’s trick is way crazier, fear of getting eldy’d i assume.

From manifesting some of the most extraordinary opportunities, to withholding the composure to battle through unfavorable situations, DeWayne has been a genuine inspiration to not only his peers and individuals around the world, but has truly influenced an entire culture and inspired the new generation.
As one of the most known unknowns in the world of skateboarding, DeWayne's association with The Berrics, one of the world's most visited skate websites, introduced the general public to the "Steezus Christ" brand. His infectious personality and good energy was undeniable, and his 'public debut' on The Berrics created a cult following, which compounded DeWayne's positive influence on the culture over night. DeWayne’s been an industry figurehead ever since, effectively producing and creating content behind the scenes, whilst simultaneously maintaining a strong on-camera presence.
With an unwavering desire for knowledge, a non-stop positive outlook on life, and a contagiously uplifting spirit, DeWayne has not only been the ideal ambassador for a bundle of industry-critical brands such as New Era, Skullcandy, eS Footwear, and The Berrics, but most notably has transcended the skateboard industry to become a notable figure in the sneaker world and streetwear culture.
Under his mantra of "Don't quit your day dream", DeWayne is a reminder to all that dreams do come true and a lifestyle can become your job. DeWayne is a reflection of patience, persistence and conviction, of which he stayed true to himself and his beliefs. Thus, resulting in a character who is well-known globally for his passion to continue growing skateboarding ethically, and keeping kids all around the world uplifted and inspired.
DeWayne is one of the most recognizable digital media profiles in the industry, and is blessed to travel the world and engage the youth, investing his time simply to remind kids and his admirers not to quit their day dream. That said, it's clear that DeWayne’s ability to inspire others simply through his inherent character and way of living is due to his conscious efforts to stay grounded, and most importantly, spend time to reflect. This can be seen on a weekly basis on the globally recognized podcast, The Nine Club Experience.
DeWayne's delivery, both verbally and in action, is a demonstration that qualifies he lives by the advice he gives. Unquestionably respected by his peers, associates and corporate partners, DeWayne is a pure "by-product" of what a wholesome life in skate-boarding can create if one stays true to themselves and the culture that raised them. DeWayne’s embodiment of this testament is what makes him so valuable to the industry, of which he stands to become a legacy-profile that will never be forgotten
I might be dumb but what is the connection with Stezus ?

When I google "Steezus Christ" all I get is a ripping Jezus fromTony Hawk's Pro SkaterSkate 3.
I guess my algorithm has been cured.
Im liking the fact they 86'd that clown steezus, hes way too high and mighty for a "never was" funny how bitter he is for not being part of the nine club anymore when that is the only reason a handful of people know who he is these days.where can i see him being bitter about getting kicked off? that sounds like a good read/watch/listen
I don’t watch regularly anymore but I watched Karl’s because I’m a huge fan.
Few things I noticed
• Chris did his research and it helped the episode move more cohesively
• Chris pushed back against Karl’s claims that an ipath employee had something to do with a team decision affecting Karl - while I think the people who lived the experience know best, I thought it was different for Chris to standup for someone he knows personally
• Chris pushed back on some answers / disagreed with some things - although a few times it felt contrived and just doing it to maybe practice doing it, I did appreciate the approach
I can imagine it is hard to get out of a routine and it takes practice and failure.
Will take a lot more refinement before I’m a full fledged listener again, but props for at least trying to change it up.

Similar tactics got many of us through high school, so just blame the American education system on Crobs preparedness skills. At least he turned something in.

Speaking of refinement, he needs to change his "..special... special... SPECIAL..." intro. It's so played out and corny. I have to skip the first 15 seconds of episodes with guests I want to watch, because I can't hear it any more. From the jump, it's cringe central.

You ever work at a job just a little too long and start to dissociate in order to mentally deal with having to go in everyday, then you’re sitting in the break area and a few coworkers who’re loudly talking about absolutely fuckall while nodding along and laughing about someone’s kid being late to baseball practice and you want to just take a bite out of a lite bulb in front of them? Thats what the nine club has become to me.

I feel like they all know Karl and they were asking good "era" questions. Never heard that James Kelch story when Karl 1st went to EMB.
When I first met Karl in 2018 and I asked him about Ipath, he genuinely looked bummed talking about the company, said he really liked his 1st shoe tho

I don't mind Kelly's laugh. The special special special intro has been grinding on my nerves almost since it's inception. It has to be one of the poorest podcast intros that exists.
