Wtf is up with the nine club

[Dad Board]

people : “support skateboarding”.

kulla : donates to a skateboarding podcast that he supports.

people : “what the fuck is wrong with you? how much money do you have? you need help. stop donating *thousands* to this podcast that we’re talking about daily in a 100 page thread!! why are you supporting skateboarding so hard?”

He’s supporting a podcast and probably Rogers cybertruck payments. Don’t try to spin it like he’s some altruistic nice guy.

[kookdusoleil]

Not trying to be judgmental but I’m dead serious when I say I’m not sure if I’ve even monetarily supported myself to the degree homeboy has supported the nine club

dude he’s a random guy donating his own money to a skateboarding podcast which mostly everyone on here watches whether they bitch about it or not (myself included) and you’re digging into it like he’s promoting terrorism. it’s not that deep guy, not everything is a conspiracy theory.

[Shitbag]

On a brighter note, the topic of Joey Suriel rapping in the City Stars video was brought up finally towards the end of the episode, thank God.
Switch tail slides I ride finally broken down and explained in detail.
Word ya heard.

Nobody is implying there’s any conspiracy afoot, but it’s weird that you’re insisting that he’s in some way supporting skateboarding by carrying out a bizarre trend of throwing money at a group of retired pros who sit around a table and act like they’re interested in skateboarding post 2010. Also, I’m not your guy, pal.

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 year

[Sila]

I don't think he's even made a post outside of this thread. I think that says enough.

That’s what I was trying to say to the guy, go fuckin talk to some people outside of this nine club thread, discuss skateboarding and nerd out on some gear or videos or whatever instead of moping on about how everyone bullies you and slap is toxic blablabla. I’m over it, dude makes himself the center of attention and if it isn’t about him or his undying support for a podcast he wants no part of it. Last time I’m chiming in on Culo.

i 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.

I can't say I was a fan of Joey Suriel out of all of the Menace guys but I do love this era. I am sure people will get pissed on Chris since I am already catching Joey saying "and I am a get to that" but so far a good episode.

Not sure why spotify is taking forever to load these newer ones onto the platform (I think TNC changed the upload time), but I'll have to give a listen on my way home from work today. Reread his CBI interview not that long ago, but love the era enough to hope there are a couple of nuggets omitted from said interview.

yeah me too. set it up and be the first donation. make sure it’s a good one too

[headtowall]

it was a solid one, but every fuckign 2 seconds "SHOUT OUT TO XXXX THATS MY GUY"

[rkulla]

^^^ 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.

Nah, as annoying as this is, it's no where near stroke level. My daily job is more frustrating than this. Posting on here is what i've been doing during some my breaks... imagine that.

I have nipples, @rkulla. Can you gifted sub me?

[rkulla]

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.

You’re wasting your time @rkulla. You will never win an argument with sad internet people. Spend your money you earn how you want. Gift more subs, buy more boards, help more people. Just don’t feed the trolls.

TNC is a few people. Slap is hundreds, if not thousands of varying opinions, attitudes and levels of sincerity. You can't argue with 'SLAP.' It's a forum  not an untied entity. let it go.

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.

[rkulla]

^^^ Scratch that. I'm *definitely* a troll.  Every time someone feeds me by telling me to go away, I post again. Guess we have more in common than we thought.

[shredflanders]

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....

At some point when people don't get the joke, you have to let them in on the punchline. You don't come from where I do and get out of it by being gullible so those comments sustain me. If I can make skating flat concrete fun for decades, I can make this fun, or at least bitter-sweet.  At least one of us is entertained.
