Nine Club is just wanting to control communications in the skate world, they manipulate on their you tube channel, and use tactics like highlighted reply to bully young skaters into a certain follower cult mindset, but as you know, skateboarders are smarter than average by nature so many are here and couldn't care less about the Nine Clubs opinion. Didn't they take Rob-Dyrdek's famous idea (the nine club phrase) as a west coast vs east coast beef?, I mean, you took the mans idea and after hundreds of episodes and still no Rob D on the show... ok.. This is why slap is hated by the nine club, free speech exposes the media platform as a place to groom you instead of support skateboarders and what we have to share, I feel the same bad vibe coming from tws2.0 and the 666mag that rocked before it went all evil sect cult on the skate world. Skate media now is featuring ideas and outlooks that is the polar opposite of what people like Rodney Mullen preach, you know Mullen, right, the only reason anyone skateboards, the most underrated, under celebrated tech master, I wish he would start a mag and run it for the sake and health of skateboarding, I only trust him in the industry tbh. in some recent skate media, I saw a pro saying either you got it or you don't, if that were true, skateboarding wouldn't have existed, duh!, ask Mullen. Mainstream skater media is not true skate media, rely on your local community for that, forget these people that think they don't look weak AF doing what they do, you cant cover the sky with your hand you liars. They rely on a young skaters ignorance instead of the young skaters wisdom for making a buck, relying on the skaters wisdom will make more profit but that plan is for good businessmen that create for a living, bad businessmen need to cheat to get ahead due to lack of skill. high chakra for the raw skateboarders, we care about ourselves and about OUR skateboarding world, not anyone's delusion of authority. Free speech is never hated by good people, only by abusers. stay skate woke y friends, land some new tricks today, breaking the barrier of disbelief, believe in yourself, you don't need anyone else to believe in you but yourself, lets build a better skate world for us, no to idols, yes to quality.
