Wtf is up with the nine club

[Democratic Republic Of Mongo]

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.

One can still skate 3-5 days a week. One physically can’t. This is the dumbest comparison.

Do you people understand what drop foot is?  His foot is basically paralyzed.  It’s not just a fucked in ankle you can adjust your skating to.

How much tension do you think there is between Kelly & Justin around Justin having been a legit pro for 2 of his favourite companies, while Kelly turned pro for a company after they had already kicked him off once, and then putting him back on after kicking everybody else off, and getting 1 pro board, and never getting on a shoe company proper?

Probably none

Nah there definitely is - 13:40 onwards. Just wondering the extent of it.

yeah that was really awkward, i never know if they are just messing around or not but that was uncomfortable. es’ also follows justin but he doesn’t follow back so maybe the poster who said he’s pissed about not getting a reissue or a spot on the legends team is right.

Mike Mo made the analogy of it's like being a pro golfer who could drive the ball 300+ yards and getting injured and barely being able to hit the ball off the tee. He was also pretty tech, so I could see how now that he can't do the stuff he used to do he's not as hyped on skating anymore.

[close]

Kinda ironic that it happened drunk driving a golf cart eh?

[close]

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.

Feel like I'd much rather have an accident that was my own fault then have done everything right and somebody else's fuck up ruins my life. Maybe he even said something along those lines once.
I know he said he was glad he broke his leg and nobody else was harmed which is pretty mature for the chuck the sailor guy

He has some ankle brace type thing that allows him to pop his board, so he can technically do some flat ground. I wouldn't say anything at BATB is relevant to his overall skating ability (or lack thereof)

Some people just stop skating and that’s fine.

[urbneathme]

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.

[BL0B]

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.

pretty sure Cardiel would rather have drop foot any day of the week and would absolutely rip with a foot brace.

Dude it's awesome that Cardiel still skates but Mike Mo doesn't have to if he doesn't want too. Skating's supposed to be fun

it is but the two injury's are not even comparable.

Then don’t compare the injuries, and don’t compare anyone’s ability to resolve a life altering injury. Your ignorance is palpable

The tension between those two is palpable and I've noticed it happening more frequently lately. It was blatantly obvious during the clipper ledge discussion. I'm waiting for the day when that shit boils over and they get into a heated argument. I can already see Justin being like "Ok, I'm done" and walking out of the apartment mid episode.

[close]

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.”

[close]

Kelly is a fun, friendly kind of dumb. Like a golden retriever. I've never liked Justin, he seems like a belligerent sort of stupid

From my experience listening to the Nine Club that’s also been my takeaway with those two.  I could see how people get annoyed by Kelly, but overall he seems like a pretty genuine, nice guy.  Justin always gives me bad vibes.

[formula420]

One time in a green room livestream I asked Justin when was the last time he tre flipped. He started to read it then trailed off. I still feel like kind of a dick for that one.

Actually Mike Mo can still skate, he did some berries contest post injury and still had lots of flip tricks. He just doesn’t want to and is limited in some ways I’m sure. Whatever hurt or not it’s his choice, no reason to disrespect it.

(Oops I see someone posted it already.)

[backside_frontside]

Omg just let Mike Mo slip into irrelevance in peace like he wants. The dude ain’t never skating at any close to a pro level ever again and y’all need to let him go. His shit is toast. It’s both hilarious and pathetic that some of you think he could make a comeback a la Andrew Allen. LOL

it's not just mike mo, it is very common amongst elite athlete to not practice their sport anymore once they've retired, wether it's because of an injury or just ageing. Cyclists, swimmers, runners etc. a lot of them just don't find it appealing to practice their sport at 30% of what they used to be able to.

This probably applies to Cardiel too but dude has to keep on making a living and he couldn't bounce back off his sunglasses brand like Mo could.

For all Steezus' kookiness, he doesn't fuck up the vibe the way Eldy does. I find Eldy to be generally unpleasant and unnecessarily bitter.

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.

[KGB]

I liked when Eldy let out a big fart on the show then tried to play it off legit.
