2 hours? Nah. Im going to need a time stamp bruh.
-
Within the last 30 minutes or so. Someone told Rog that they had wished he died and not Phelper. Pretty fucked.
Honestly they(the experience) aren't entirely wrong. Lots of negative ass shit on here. I feel like I can relate to this Nietzsche quote:
"Whoever fights with monsters should see to it that he does not become a monster in the process. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you."
I've become a monster. haha
-
2 hours? Nah. Im going to need a time stamp bruh.
1:40 Roger says "Slap is literally the most negative thing in skateboarding right now." I had just randomly clicked on live right then. Went back 30 minutes and they were talking about the Steezus anti white thread bumming them out.
Roger must've missed out on the chill thread.
-
How would they know this if they never get on Slap though?
I’ve witnessed first hand any of the people that claim to be clueless about Slap go straight to UWTB. There’s plenty of other pages you can see and realize we are not all dipshit trolls.

There has been a lot of shit talk on crob here every time the nine club has been under discussion. It's a fact that he doesn't know anything about the history of skateboarding. On the other hand a lot of positive things have been said here on Kelly and Roger, because they deserve it. They know their shit.
Slap is not negative, Slap is where the truth is said out loud. It's not our fault that the truth is often ugly.

Haha dude! Yes, I came back to say this, and that Crob was mocking people about the research thing. That was really rad haha.
I think the biggest reason they brought it up, was because of what was said about Roger. Which is definitely too far, and when its a stranger just taking their anger out on you, for a show they barely see any return (or loss) for, thats pretty low. He's right too, it is sad.
Steezus brought up early in the episode the anti white thread. Haha it felt like he was kind of proud of it, which is funny, but glad he isn't trippin on it too hard.

If you think slap is the truth, you are delusional. Also, not much said out loud here, unless you're reading all this out loud. Hahaha that would be really great to see.
I think your perception might be the ugly part.
-
I've grown bored of making fun of the nine club that's how boring it is.
Brings me back to our good ol days Rick. :-*
-
Weird. A bunch of nerds that talk shit about people on the internet are surprised to find out the people they have been shit talking this whole time are bummed on them. That is soooo weird. I for one can not believe they don’t get the joke. I mean this place is a joke right?
-
Richard Jackson is more of a negative troll on Instagram than any of us are on here.
-
A lot of dumb shit gets said here - making up crazy shit about someone is never a good look - but a lot of good stuff is said as well. Skateboarding should never lose its caustic, critical edge either.
It's pathetic that someone took their bad day out on Roger. If you're having a bad day and take it out on someone who doesn't deserve it, you need to re-evaluate your behaviour. At least that kid (man?) apologized.
-
they got a semi point.

weird

What's odd is I think Slap is pretty much a massive Nine Club with way different opinions than just a collective amount of guys from LA and KC. But this forum is no different than any social media platform. They seriously can't think Slap is the only place for hate on the world wide web for skating. They just have to accept and that's it. It's the world we live in.
-
Way to ignore our appreciation page
-
Nine club is the worst.
I guess I'm just referring to Crob as I associate him as the face of the show.
corto above sums up the point well.
-
He probably got tired of reading a bunch of arrogant, conceited, pseudo producers thinking they could make a better show. He was probably hoping people get a discussion going about an episode. Crob mocked you guys.
its probably because you guys couldn't do a similar show, and don't understand the difference between journalism and a talk showHe says that he was looing on it, for news, and of course he'd read his own threads, but when he had a post about him every week naturally, he didn't have the time or energy for the shitty comments. He wasn't even the one to say Slap is the most negative place in skateboarding, it was Rog.
Some of you guys are taking this as a generalize attack on you all. When you think about it, its not the most welcoming place. I think there are a lot of decent dudes on here, so while it is always unfair to say, it can get pretty toxic in certain threads.
Again, Rog had more incentive to call it the most negative place in skateboarding after what someone said to him, but you guys are acting like Crob is the one who said it because of the nine club threads. If he cared he'd still be reading them. The show is still chugging along so I'd say that counts for something and proves they are doing something right.
-
Scooters are the worst thing in skateboarding. Shalom

Anyone who thinks SLAP isn't overflowing with negativity is kidding themselves. Not even just negativity, but incredibly offensive, juvenile, and disgusting posts are present in the large majority of threads.
The poster who said that every Slap thread starts as a legitimate discussion and quickly devolves into two guys hurling insults back and forth nailed it - that's one of the main things I've always noticed. So often a random troll poster will just say something shockingly awful out of the blue, derailing the whole thread. And all the pictures of gnarly fucking shit porn etc?! WTF is wrong with some of you guys?! Seriously. Why are you posting that stuff on a skate forum?
It's really easy to get sucked into the negativity - I became the monster too. I made the mistake of trying to post honest opinions or advice for posters who were misinformed about industry stuff and I got kooked into oblivion. So I just gave up trying to be nice and joined all the dickheads that populate this place. Tons of posters purposely misinterpret people's words just to start shit. Try to clarify for them what you meant(even though it was perfectly clear in the first place)? 20 guys will kook you. Apparently many posters prefer to gang up on people and bully them instead of using their brains and having a reasonable discussion.
You've got respectable posters like Jsoy, Sillhouette - just as two examples I've noticed - who never stoop to the degrading comments and such, but they're lost in the giant sea of degenerates who seem to live for stirring up shit.
And when it comes to the Nine Club - which is a very popular show amongst people who don't spend their time posting GIF's of people eating shit out of other people's asses on skateboard forums - it seems like there's no end to the armchair producers on here straight slandering these guys for providing one of the coolest pieces of content to come along in a while. You think they aren't aware of their own dynamic on the show? Not into their interview style? Then go find another skate interview show that focusses entirely on super controversial and offensive stuff instead - oh wait, that doesn't exist because immature teenagers don't usually have their shit together enough to make a show, let alone know a single pro. Some of you guys are so naive/arrogant it's ridiculous. Like when Trump says he "has the best words". Totally clueless but acting like you're the pillar of skate knowledge.
Slap isn't the worst thing in skateboarding, but the cool shit that does pop up on here is fewer and farther between these days. Sifting through thread after thread of hate and arguments about racism to find an honest, respectable opinion on some new skate shit is getting old. You guys need to hear this criticism because this place could be a lot better if people stopped acting like trolls 24/7. I know most of you will be stoked when I focus.
-
Well it's a pretty negative place except if your are Fred Gall or Bobby Worrest.
-
How would they know this if they never get on Slap though?

Comon, he did not said EVERYONE on Slap is an asshole. There are just a lot of them on the forum no one can deny that. It's funny people are surprise and offended. Just the thread about the pro's wife is pure disgusting awful trash.
-
Roger is a know it all kook.

Roger is a know it all kook.
^This sort of shit.
So, the guy who is part of hosting a skate interview show is incredibly knowledgeable about skate history because he's worked in the industry longer than you've probably been alive, but that makes him a kook? I think it's rad how much he knows. But here you are, slandering him for knowing his shit. Way to prove their point.
edit: fuck it. I'm focussing cause I don't wanna be associated with this garbage anymore. Glad I dipped before I got comfortable enough to start sharing my own content. Peace, trolls.

Where's the box 🗃
-
slap is absolutely a very negative place.
-
I think the trainers fucking the kids is the worst thing about skateboarding, then how people lose their minds/lives to drugs and alcohol and nobody ever ever ever says anything because they're all making money from it, THEN slap. We're the problem when they get Jason Jessee up there so they can lightly dust him with sugar?
-
people on slap provide both positive and negative feedback, but it's real feedback. Threads may go off the rails from time to time, but I feel like people actually express themselves.
On Instagram, people posts fire, fist and trophy emojis and barely process a thought.
-
Slaps good for seeing new videos so you don't have to scour the internet and for people claiming they know what skateboarding is and should be and the occasional 10% of posters that really know a shit ton about skateboarding and history.
-
slap is absolutely a very negative place.
Yes, and I absolutely love it for that
-
The 9 Club is the same thing as slap but its just in a format where some drop outs might be able to make a bit of cash post skate career. Good on them.
-
The 9club wants to be shalom
but are not.

he said the most negative thing about skateboarding, not the worst thing about skateboarding (I think)
-
On the latest All I Need podcast, Shetler says this about me, right before reading one of my comments on trans world not doing the mag anymore.
Here’s what one of the slap pals says, he’s fully verified with a bazillion stars, congratulations you spent your life on the slap message board enjoy your stars mother fucker.
I thought it was super funny, I’m legit hyped that he said that, shetler is a skateboarder I genuinely like.

Oh then never mind Slap is more negative than kid fucking and letting your friends rot so you can make money.

Shetler is a known crybaby lunatic and he proved it *gasp* on Slap. No wonder he has hard feelings he made himself such a bitch on here.
-
If it wasn't for Slap Jason Jessee would be handplanting in every last part he was given.
I guess it's on us for not having our jobs depend on how people feel about us.
if you gotta pretend Pro skateboarders didn't rape people so that you can keep the lights on: how positive is the energy you're putting out there, slackjaw muthafucka?
Fuck you roger

“Worst place on earth” - Roger
I still love you Roger :-* #teamroger all day
-
everybody in the whole wide world is the worst and nobody is not upset
-
Roger whats your slap account? I wanna gnar you
-
This thread = more evidence for the conspiracy that Roger is Budgie Lasek. Most of us like u Roger, come baaaack
-
Within the last 30 minutes or so. Someone told Rog that they had wished he died and not Phelper. Pretty fucked.
Honestly they(the experience) aren't entirely wrong. Lots of negative ass shit on here. I feel like I can relate to this Nietzsche quote:
"Whoever fights with monsters should see to it that he does not become a monster in the process. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you."
I've become a monster. haha
You're fucking wrong. This Nietzsche quote from Beyond Good and Evil, aint about any social relationship. Its about his own fight against Socrates and nihilism.
-
Slap is negative? I guess I never really noticed.
-
Lol. Steezus was low key stoked he got a thread. Chris dont give a fuck, he just talking shit back. Roger, he mad. Kelly kept it too quiet, probably lurks hard. Eldridge probably only uses the internet for wierd porn so I believe him. Yeah slap is negative, its called critique. But you all know slap has been on a steady downhill path, started around 2016 when people started getting political statement over every damn thing. Caused a feeding vortex of opposing energys.
Still, a good 10 minutes talking about slap while pretending they dont care about it, lol, good stuff.
Never can have shalom without mud, and vice versa, duality, mason 33. But maybe slap can get back to the unseen third force, the driving creative force.
In the mean time, my name is mud.
-
I think these guys kinda think too far into it.
Like, trolling is just a pastime for me. Before I even knew the word troll, I was a jokester/prankster kinda kid.
My dad was also that same way.
It’s all in good fun for me on here.
-
Slap can make and break peoples skate careers. They just scared they're next
-
I feel like every episode of this show they dedicate a segment to how much they apparently don’t care about Slap.
-
Slap can make and break peoples skate careers. They just scared they're next
no it can’t and no they aren’t
-
Slap can make and break peoples skate careers. They just scared they're next
I guess I need some context here. Are you talking about people associated with the 9 club? Because not one of them has enough of a skate career to be broken, except maybe Roger. And he doesn't seem to want it anyway.
-
Its always been obvious slap forum has always had excessive negativity. So 9 club is right on that. Roger should have pointed out how people on the forum troll other people on the forum, and it's not just the industry getting attacked. But he didn't...the industry are the victims....really? If you don't like your job, quit and get a real job! See how that logic can be thrown right back at you?
But their conclusion there is something wrong with our lives? That's sounds hella fucking mean. Fuck them for that assumption. They have no idea whats going on with our personal lives! Judgemental as fuck.
Posting on here is fun, but from my understanding it's loosely moderated on purpose so don't shoot the messenger. 9 club has more of an issue with High Speed than us skate industry customers.
Their comment about all of us anomymous users personal life was rediculous. Such an elitist cruel assumption. "We need to check our lives because of internet comments." That's straight up fighting words, I can't believe they said that. I was actually concerned how some people might take that, not every skate customer is cool, sick, or a troll. It's not someone's responsibilty or requirement to let everyone on the forum know why they are spending time on here.
Basically what these guys are saying, is the classic cool guy vibe, buy our shit, if you don't like it quit. That's so fucking toxic...yeah watch our show, buy our product, like subscribe, etc...but 9 club will be the first one to call their customers wack or kooks...and that toxic customer service vibe has been around forever.
It's 9 club vs high speed, sounds like cool guy industry dudes not taking any responsibility and blaming the customers!

Why you think I picked this screen name
Shalom
-
Maybe they’re just upset that there ARE people that work full time and still skate pretty often. I don’t think they realize you can do that.
-
Roger is a know it all kook.
If it wasn't for Rog (and Kelly) the show would be 50% less informative; these guys know so much about skating...down to shoes people wore in fucking skate vids.
Crobs, lack of knowledge is pretty embarrassing to be honest but hey, it's his show to twiddle his microphone right?
-
they were confusing nik stain wih chris fucking russell. lather on the hate.
-
guys, only positive feedback from now on. objectivity hurts peoples feelings.
-
We turned a negative into a positive with Shalom, but Roger trying to drag us back in the mud. Damn shame.
-
Nine club causing mud?
Edit: just a thought but instead of being mad about what’s said on here ( aside the roger comment someone made which was shitty and I think most people on slap think it was fucked up) maybe take some criticism and try and implement it and see if it works. If people on slap listen to 9 club and say hey it would be nice if crob did research so he doesn’t sound so ignorant. That idk maybe try that out see if it works or not. Maybe more people will listen when a host known for milking it doesn’t milk his podcast as well and works and researches something. Despite where you land with the arguments about if steezus is racist or not almost everyone says he’s annoying. I’m sure people that don’t post on slap probably a good number think the same thing. Maybe rotate the hosts out see if it works better. But just because slap voices things they don’t like doesn’t mean other skateboarders aren’t thinking the same thing. I think the people that post on here are pretty typical skateboarders and represent a percentage of skateboarders.
I’ll edit later to fix punctuation etc after work so I don’t make the grammar 10/10s mad

slap does hold it down for the real ones. go back to ig if you feeling salty.
saved the career of ledgends Pete Eldridge, Terrence Kennedy, ect....
-
Slap is funny, offensive, informative, negative, helpful, funny, infuriating, rude, disrespectful, anarchic and it has it's own weird vortex.
I like it.
It kind of sums up skateboarding if you think about it. The kooks, the trolls, the juvenile delinquents, the grumpy old bastards,the helpful and knowledgeable, the ears to the grounders and the head in the clouders all gather here to shoot the shit. Some of it is totally infuriating at times but it is far from the worst thing in skateboarding, or the most negative. There's lots worse. The rapists, the racists, the kiddy fiddlers and the junkies all beat Slap for shitness!
For the record I also like the Nine Club sometimes (sometimes it's pretty dull but you can't win them all. Some skaters are dull.) I like Rog, though it would be better if he could enunciate properly.
-

Terry case started like a joke to his mental health and skate level. Its not very shalom at all. Terry showed slap the Guru (gang starr) phrase: I show love cuz its the terrible thing to hate.

I just posted the Brink Pals questions on UWTB. Crob said if we made a show he'd watch it. Can someone send him the link?

Slap is rad. I don’t know how Roger can see a bunch of useless banter, I’m guessing it’s people stuck in a cubicle bored to death trying to come up with the next wittiest comment. Most are probably laughing while doing it.
How’s that worse than Chase Gabor admitting to tying young boys up n sticking a screwdriver up young boys private parts, child molester.
Slap is worse to skateboarding than Chase ?
Chase Gabor is the worst thing in skateboarding.
N nice defence Berra , so he’s telling everyone he’s a child molester because it happened to him ?
Shalom. I love Slap. ❤️#SlappinTillDeath
I think it’s so sad that people can look past racism n sex offenders but someone arguing Dill is better than Mariano is bad lol 😂
N Roger, I’m just taking what you said at face value, I’m not twisting anything. I personally think these sex offenders are the worst thing in skateboarding,Nazis. If I was Geoff Rowley at Chase Gabors weekend buzz , I’d walk right out of the interview n never talk to dude again but these guys laugh.
But people busting balls on a message board is the worst thing in skateboarding, cmon.
No Hate whatsoever, love the show, watch it every Monday for you guys.
-
Collective Negative. I like it.
-
In all seriousness, it’s not much of a shock that people view this place as nothing but a pit of negativity, at least at face value. Like Christopher Lambe said, I think a large portion of the cynicism here is just humor being exaggerated further and further, even if the opinions themselves are genuine. And thats been a thing much longer than messageboards have. The thread about Steezus being racist is easy to look at and write off, but if he actually read the thread he’d see that most of us were calling the guy an idiot.
Nine Club folks, I know y’all are reading this, but we’re not so bad. I’m sorry someone told you to die, Rog. You shouldn’t do that, but you should probably hang a SHALOM sticker on the set.
-
I can see both sides, SLap isn't a place to take too many things seriously, but there was definitely a line crossed.
Just wanna say Rog should definitely visit the chill thread. It's the most chill thread on Slap.
-
glad budgie left

Slap is part of skating where as the racism or sex offenders are an affliction.
-
Not trying to split hairs but the “You should die” comment was sent to roger on his DM not Slap. Of course everyone here has their opinions about the nine club but it sounds like Roger was more upset about that comment and then when Slap came up he got even more upset. Im a big fan of Roger and coincidentally enough I got the idea to revamp the slap pals questions after Kelly agreed to do one but then ended up ghosting me which now makes sense. I might not like certain things about the nine club here and there but I would never have enough hate to wish someone their death. The whole thing is fucked and I can understand their anger to a degree and hope to one day get them to reconsider so that they could see we’re not all trolls.
-
They were right, at least in my case, in thinking that our lives are miserable.
-
I wouldn't take all this personally Monkey. You're actually doing a rad thing with the slap pal questions and contributing in a cool way.
Hopefully, this won't ruin other potential guests but maybe Kelly became weary and with plenty of reason to want to keep away. Even as a slap poster, when you made the thread, I was kind of conflicted about it. I didn't know whether to take it seriously or not.
Hopefully this doesnt discourage you from making more Monkey, and hopefully we can all take on some responsibility on the level of toxicity that's displayed on here. It can be part of the fun, but there are times some dudes go far. Maybe we can all keep in mind what we could have (more stuff similar to what Monkey is doing) if we can keep it fun without going overboard

Haha I can relate. There's a pretty strong coralation between the current status of my life right now, and when I became a slap poster.
-
We won.
-
The first time I heard Chad Ortiz called “Steeze” Ortiz , I puked for three days because it was so pretentious and egotistical so you can imagine how sick I was when I heard “Steezus Christ” I’m still throwing up. You should be so lucky to only get the little ball breaking you get.
Do you need a hug ? Buck up!
Haha all love ❤️
Shalom

I really think budgie was Rog. I dont know why he's so salty...its a forum full of skaters...you expect us to all be happy and positive about everything?
-
I think we're deep enough into the internet age where people should be able to handle some online trolling. Personally, I think it's all hilarious and quite fascinating on a psychological level. Slap + smartphone sure has made downtime at work much less boring for me, so I'm thankful for that and if someone's feelings get hurt in the process oh well it was worth it.

Nah dude I'm not discouraged at all. Me and feedmeseymour actually got more pumped after hearing what crob said. Surprisingly so it hasn't been too hard to book guests. It started with 2 or 3 then it snowballed into a good list I got going and it keeps growing. I've got a few people that somehow are down to do this but are not down to do the nine club. Some of the guest will be surprising and can get with what slap is about without getting offended. Not trying to say its easy but anybody could do this. Both me and FMS have full time jobs and families/kids yet we've been able to find the time to do it. Be on the lookout, there are plenty of episodes still to come. :D
-

I asked a few weeks back and he claimed he wasn't, but that he had met him before and had fun nerding out with him. I dunno tho, Budgie was secretive and cryptic and knew a lot about the industry. The world may never know!
-
those steezus threads were pretty trash
-
whoever said Rog could die, i just want to take a strong stand in rebuttal. Rog can live.
-
whoever told roger to die is an ass but that's not slap. the slap thing to do would be to tell him how his hats look stupid and his editing chops suck. having said that, roger seems chill.
-
Been posting here off and on since 2000, seems like the more Slap gets mentioned that it draws out the trolls/shit talkers. It's always been this way, it's a mostly anonymous way to either talk badly about the things you hate or to get a response from someone.
Lately it's just a bunch of people asking how shoes/clothes fit and if a hardgoods product sucks or not.
I'm not the harshest critic of a skate podcast, I love a good story, the behind the scenes stuff.
Any insight into some era I lived through(skating since 87) I can tolerate a crappy mic or poorly worded responses way more than most. I can see they put a lot into the 9 club/experience and it probably hurts a lot to have people tear it apart. But all those guys know putting yourself out there that it's to be expected.
I'm not sure the average expectation of a listener who is getting content on a weekly basis for free, I'm just happy when the guest is coherent and has some cool life experience.
If you avoid the typical clickbait topics, there are some pretty funny people who hang out in here.
Generalizing sucks, the thousands of users at slap and probably less than 100 are actually causing the shit storms.
-
^That was a legitimately insightful post

Been posting here off and on since 2000, seems like the more Slap gets mentioned that it draws out the trolls/shit talkers. It's always been this way, it's a mostly anonymous way to either talk badly about the things you hate or to get a response from someone.
Lately it's just a bunch of people asking how shoes/clothes fit and if a hardgoods product sucks or not.
I'm not the harshest critic of a skate podcast, I love a good story, the behind the scenes stuff.
Any insight into some era I lived through(skating since 87) I can tolerate a crappy mic or poorly worded responses way more than most. I can see they put a lot into the 9 club/experience and it probably hurts a lot to have people tear it apart. But all those guys know putting yourself out there that it's to be expected.
I'm not sure the average expectation of a listener who is getting content on a weekly basis for free, I'm just happy when the guest is coherent and has some cool life experience.
If you avoid the typical clickbait topics, there are some pretty funny people who hang out in here.
Generalizing sucks, the thousands of users at slap and probably less than 100 are actually causing the shit storms mud.

Looks like I'll have to take a more serious approach to my non serious posts.
I think Rog needs a hug,cause SHALOM isn't working for him.

I read an old copy of SLAP in the skate shop today, which was nice.
Show me a better forum... Its just the nature of Message Boards...
Gall Bless.

I think these dudes have IG brain. Slap is a pretty mellow place as far as the internet is concerned.
-
There are literally skaters that refuse to get any photos without cancer causing energy drink logos plastered on their heads but yes a bunch of strangers on the internet talking shit is the worst thing in skateboarding. Just dont fucking come on here.
Shalom.

I feel like a lot of SLAP is actually pretty supportive (obviously not all the time) and reflective of the skateboarding community, it's like a microcosm of the skating world. SLAP has its place, the same way 9 club has its place. Rog seemed mostly mad about that DM, rightfully so but saying SLAP is the most negative thing just isn't accurate.
Not everything in skating is positive and SLAP is just a forum that it gets talked about in.

That’s what she said.

how would he/ they know if they never read it? :-*
I dunno, I dig Rog and all his skate-nerd history and I actually think he could add a lot to this place with his stories.
Sure, on the surface it looks like a big huge negative cesspool of hate and gossip, but there are some genuinely cool people I've connected with on here over the years and if you look at it during the hard times (like when Rusty or Frip passed), you'll actually see that it's quiet beautiful.
***
Worst thing in skating at the moment is 10/10 fans that still stick up for him and actually defend their rights to rock the swazi, that is way more disgusting than anything this place has ever produced...
-
We turned a negative into a positive with Shalom, but Roger trying to drag us back in the mud. Damn shame.
In everything that is Shalom there is a small amount of mud. Similarly, in everything that is mud there is a small amount of shalom.

I've never even heard about Steezus Christ (shitty name) before 9 Club, and he's supposed to be some sort of gatekeeper character? GTFO.

There used to be an account with Pal status named Steezus Christ, guess that was too long ago for peeps to remember. That person requested their name changed to Jupiter in the change your name thread, and it's not focused. Wonder if it's the same guy.
Scrolled through a bunch of posts seemed to like rap mostly lil b, posted a lot in the ass and tits thread, some mainstream sports stuff, posted in whatever, and obviously lots of skate talk. Not going to look anymore to see if he's the same guy. I think it probably is, he obviously currently reads slap, but then denied ever looking on here ever in this experience episode.
Man, so much drama! Drink a Zima and Shalom!

no one knew about him prior to 9 club. probably not a bad dude, and not a racist, just an idiot with a limited vocabulary. that thread was clearly a terrible troll.
also fuck whoever said rog shoulda died. i dont even wish that on my worst enemies.

Getting butt hurt over somone saying it shoulda been you who died, is noob af.

"they called me racist."
so what do you want to say?
"i am, hahahaha".
thanks for being man enough to cop to racism, Steezus. i'd rather be stabbed in the stomach than in the back.

:o

Slap is the only place in all of skateboarding that exposes the dark side of the industry and the culture as a whole (i.e. pedophilia, Nazism, domestic violence, assault, etc.) Without it, motherfuckers never get called out and they get to go on being protected by corporate entities who value profit and image over anything else.
That's not to say there aren't some really fucking stupid people here. And the fact that new posters get to start threads like the steezus racist thread or that BA homophobic thread, I'm not surprised that Rog felt that way. I promise you, once you take away the ability for new posters to start shitty threads, SLAP will be way better of.

I remember New Years Day at 2AM my girlfriend wishing I was dead because I hid her car keys n wouldn’t let her drink and drive n that’s from someone I love , that was her real feeling at the time , she blames it on drinking but doesn’t the truth come out when one is intoxicated.
How serendipitous it would be to hear that from a stranger I’ll never meet.
I’m off to start a thread about this haha
Why didn’t I get this on YouTube almost three months ago, it’s only coming out now haha
N I’m not bitter, I have a rad job , life is good.
I think you guys need a hug if Slap is n issue in your life.
Suck up that pain n hide it , “ never let em see you frown “ always smile when you’re down “ Jay -Z.
Just don’t acknowledge what bothers you , I know 100% you’ll have 100,000 Subscriptions if you heed Jay-Z’s advice.
I love your show by the way , I don’t miss n episode because I love you guys.
Shalom. All love, no hate , especially Kelly Hart , it probably doesn’t help telling someone not to talk about said trick on air. Edit it out. It makes you look like a giant douche.
All love to anyone reading this n have a rad day , tomorrow isn’t promised
Shalom.

A lot of it is these guys (and many others) have been a part of the asskiss fest that is the skate industry for so long that they’re sensitive to hearing normal dudes who don’t depend on making money off of it give their real opinions. Of course there’s a lot of shit talk and trolls on here too but that’s the internet

this place is absolutely the most negative place in skateboarding.
hey magenta and glen fox i hate your "zany" approach to skateboarding! learn to skate better and you won't need some gimmick "quick shit"! and your editor wont have to speed up your footage!
Hey Chase you put a screwdriver in a boys anus!!
Maybe if crailtap didn't sit on their laurels in 2006 and turn the daily randoms into a social media presence they wouldn't be in the shitter! maybe if lakai didnt make shit shoes in 2010 i would of kept buying them!
see, this is very negative.
-
It's a message board. They're made to have discussions. In discussions you tend to disagree with another party. That might look negative to someone who spends his day on Instagram collecting feathers with his arsehole.
Not saying there isn't some unnecessary hate on slap. But holy fuck, welcome to any message board ever. I used to frequent a message board about Rollercoaster tycoon, the best thing our God, Chris Sawyer, has ever graced this planet with. And even that was a negative shit show from time to time.
-
The Nine Club is cool, ya babies. Crob is a funny dude who doesn’t give a shit about anything that doesn’t happen directly around him. So he doesn’t know who did the first kickflip, good on the cunt! Who cares.
Rog is a good dude, Kelly’s a nice idiot who can skate. It’s very easy to not watch something.

Oh yeah so the balls sucking up and dropping they were talking about last week is from your cremaster muscle, I have a theory that you could learn how to drop or raise your balls on command. Just gotta figure out how to tap into/workout the muscle.
Also cremaster 3, the movie, is interesting, but only works if youre on dissociative drugs, pcp, dxm, etc.

Haha I can relate. There's a pretty strong coralation between the current status of my life right now, and when I became a slap poster.
In small doses, slap can be a beautiful thing, but you have to imbibe responsibly.
I think slap is pretty alright overall, everyone pretty much knows who the trolls are and evaluates their comments accordingly.

Dude whoever BL2 is nailed it.
I think its cool the effort Monkey is putting in to provide something for us degenerates, but I think it shows how much of an effort is put into making the nine club. Who knows if they are even seeing a return from it too, and I bet they all have side hustles, although I bet Es is a full time thing for Kelly.
I had some regrettable shit for the Brink slap pals questions, probably one of my dumber posts on here, and he was completely cool with me. We even had a small exchange about candles. With that said, I literally couldn't make it further than the question after mine. It's not even a knock against Brink, I think he'd be interesting to have on the Nine Club, but just having a dude read questions aloud, and then respond to said question. Haha.
Damn, that part about the narcissists and the armchair quarterbacks. So good. Well done BL2

I agree with you that producing a show like The Nine Club takes a lot of time, effort, money, research, etc.
But why are you feeding into this shit? Can't we have a good time without people shitting all over it? Are they feeling threatened or what? No one (that I'm aware of) is trying to beat or replace The Nine Club.
I'm not too sure I even like the fact that there is a round table about skateboarding. This isn't football. Stop trying to make it that way.
Yeah, some of the questions were dumb, but for it's first time it was funny hearing Brink read them and how he responded. It has a personal touch to it. Maybe that's their issue. Watch their format change to add a more personal touch and engage their audience more.
If these accounts really are guys from Nine Club, they're making themselves sound awfully butthurt. If you don't like Slap, stay away. It's simple as that. Any further discussion just proves who the real loser is here.

The Nine Club is great I love everything they do and they should do it forever x1,000,000
Would that kind of feedback be more helpful?

Manchester console BL?
Edit* I had no idea the nine club felt slap as a while was hating on them. I always about those threads/posters where I know they're just trolling. Are they that insecure about making a good show? I enjoy most every nine club episode and listen every Monday morning at work. Stoked on Mike V today, and I'm not even a brigader. Wonder if he talks about how they arrived at JGarcia collaboration.

I don't like the nine club because it's a manifestation of insular masturbatory california industry bullshit. Chris Roberts is so fucking dull and unfunny and plays no role other than walking the guest through their wikipedia page while continually interrupting to relate their unique experiences back to his shortlived inconsequential career. Granted, Roger Bagley is pretty knowledgable about skating, but we don't owe him shit, just because you shot sequences of Joey Brezinski in 2007 doesnt lend any more worth to your commentary than the average SLAP pal. And Steezus Christ calls himself Steezus Christ.

Appreciate the feedback TurdyBird!
I’d like to once again go on the record and say that I do like the nine club and Roger is my favorite co host of the show. If Budgie is Roger (which I’m pretty sure he is) I’d like to say that we aren’t coming for your show. This is literally almost a parody of all podcast/skate shows. Its meant to be low budget, It’s meant to be only for slap, and it’s meant to be shitty and corny. So if someone takes that much offense as budgie all in the while including the nine club in his comment like that’s suppose to intimidate us is beyond hilarious. I’d be perfectly fine if only the people that asked the questions watch the video but seeing a video that’s unlisted/no tags reaching almost 1k views is more than enough of a response for me to keep going. This isn’t our job, so I couldn’t care less on the views, likes, comment or subscriptions. We’ll keep it going as long as I can keep getting guest which surprisingly so hasn’t been too hard. I’ll be doing my best to get people that haven’t been on the nine club just to keep it fresh but any skater that is down is more than welcomed.
Also although I only keep the video here anyone can watch it, just come on down and watch the video guys. You can still hate us and watch the video, there will be some good content for the guys that don’t wanna spend an hour learning about how someone stared skating that’s already been covered in other videos or skate interviews. Again this is not a diss and I want you guys to make it to 100k! Let’s help them out guys :-*
Shalom

My biggest problem I have with the people giving their "advice" or "criticism" is wanting to come to a thread, and discuss the episode. I'm not an authority over any of this shit. I enjoyed the episode, and I wanna chat about it. Then it's mostly shit comments and whatever, and you just learn that Slap is in its own bubble of narcissists. It's ok to enjoy and show enthusiasm over something guys.

So nine club logic is 1 hour of quick questions is long.
But they spend about an hour rehashing the bland “first skateboard you ever had “story almost every episode. With yeah ,mhmm, and bro thrown in and a 5 hour episode of what I assume details Mike Vs entire life which I like Mike V and I’ve not watched but listening to them for 5hours well it sounds like torture. Also why roger saying everyone on slap hates their show. I don’t know if many on slap said they hated it just that it’s boring because well,it is. Most even like roger and defended him despite him acting like a little bitch. Yet nine club said they don’t read slap yet consistently mention things from slap. The hypocrisy is mind blowing.
Long story short. Nine club, I’m sorry your show is boring and you feel threatened by a message board.

They wouldn't be wrong in saying the Tom K episode was short. Either way they don't like us, and will continue to look down on what we do.

Sometimes they’ll go on random skate tangents which I honestly prefer because it reminds me that they’re all humans with opinions and thoughts.
But also, Justin Eldridge seems infuriatingly stupid and I wish he wasn’t there.
-
Justin Eldridge being stupid is hilarious to me and one of the only reasons I watch the Experience (and almost never the normal Nine Club).
It's also crazy to me that Kelly could tell that Youness' new part was PAL. I really loved how frustrated Roger got when trying to explain NTSC/PAL to these guys.
-
i thought it was well established that mongo pushing is the worst thing in skateboarding
-
It's weird how they lie about coming here when it's so blatantly obvious they do. Makes the level of butthurt really noticeable. They must be legitimately bummed that 90% of us think their show sucks.
well if 90% of the market doesn't like the product....it's not the consumer
-
Nine club experience is made for 13 year olds who watch youtube videos all day and justin eldridge is a braindead blonde blimbo stuck in a washed up skateboarder’s body
-
Good one seymour
Also for the record, Rog, some of us are fans of the show here on SLAP. That said don't think that just because 3/4 of SLAP hates nine club, it doesn't mean the other 25% do.
We appreciate your industry insights. Also confirm if you were actually budgie. Thanks.

we need you pontoon boat

these guys mention nearly every criticism they get, i think they're a little touchy about it
if it really didn't bother them i'm guessing they wouldn't mention it at all
-

every episode i'm waiting for a coherent thought from this guy but he really is that dumb
-
I made it on this weeks episode. Told them they can cut the scene before I started talking about slap but they kept it on. Fuck did I ramble on. I hate my voice too. Kook me I’m an idiot.
It was all fun until I mentioned slap. Then they were bummed haha sorry guys

funny they let their celebration episode turn into a slap pals questions ad episode lmao. sanchenzo the good salesman, never stop selling
-
Okay, scrubbed through and it's at 1:32:33. Crob was visibly shaken at points and every one of them basically admitted that they lied when they said they don't ever read Slap. They did look super cute in their baseball caps and Steezus looked extra woke in his fake prescription glasses, so I'll give them that.
-
Roger/Budgie is down, but Crob isn't having any of that for the crew. He literally despises Slap. Skaters in real life are trolls, bunch of adult teenagers pushing wood vibing people at their local and shit talking. Very good sell! It's just funny how much it affects them,but they say we're shit.
-
Roger is the most interesting one at that table but he barely speaks. I don't mean it as an insult to the others or anything, I just hope he considers doing a Pals Questions someday.
-
Where the fuck else am I supposed to talk about jacking off into Erica Yary’s sock??
-
Bumblegum Tate getting the shout out on there.
I just watched the clip. Props for calling in. I still think Crob and company take Slap way too serious. Of course there is a ton of shit talk but it’s a message board. It’s kind supposed to be that way. Instagram, Youtube, Redit....is all the same thing. Don’t act like you don’t understand social media interactions. You have to take it with a grain of salt.
And Crob is a Howard Stern fan. He knows the drill. Stern gets destroyed all the time by his loyal fans. If you don’t want that kind of heat, don’t do a YouTube show. These sort of things come hand in hand. And I swear Nine Club has criticized Revive on there show. There Nine Club Experience is pretty much a message board in show form.
-
Haha your call was the best thing on this episode. Even the timing was perfect, just before your call you hear Roger mumbling about only finding skategossip on slap.
-
they removed the steezus christ is racist thread? slap on book burning.
-
I always check what Crob puts up for Kelly's 'role' in the credits. Thought this one was pretty funny.

Crob's knee jerk reaction is completely understandable so fair enough. It wouldn't have hurt him to actually pay attention to mcpott instead of dismissing him. He bigged them up, is clearly a massive skate nerd (which is what 9 club is trying to pander to, albiet to a watered down degree, by digging into pro skaters lives and careers) and was respectful the whole way through.
Crob got bent out of shape when he mentioned he had two tricks on the tour but could name them off the top of his head. Perhaps be stoked that someone remembered his minimal contribution. I watched the canada tour dvd a thousand times and could just about remember the tricks when they were mentioned.
Perhaps Mcpott could have delved into it abit more with a sentence or two more about the reddit/4chan style influx around the time the steezus thread was created would have helped them understand but regardless, their inability to understand they make a web based chat show that gets a negative response in comments on various web based platforms is laughable.
rog is clearly down. Kelly seems like a really nice likeable guy but Crob really, really, reaaaaally brings the whole show down. from top to bottom.
That said, he's probably a nice guy. Just not a very interesting, knowledgable or gracious host.
-
Yeah setting up lights and a few cameras isn’t that hard, not sure why they are on such a high horse about their production level. It’s a fucking recorded show, when they do it live at that level then I’ll be impressed.

lowkey i think Crob sees it as competition. it's a better look to say 'we're into production value' but i think he caught himself as he was about to say 'we have a show and you ain't eating off my plate. cause if you eat off my plate i'm gonna slap. i'mma eat off your plate.'

Yeah I seriously thought they were gonna cut after the Eldridge quesiton. I was only gonna ask them if they’d be down to do the questions then it trailed off to that long conversation and I rambled on a little too much thinking it wasn’t gonna be in the show anyways. Didn’t realize I bummed Eldridge that bad since there were laughs all around. I do feel like I started sounding like an idiot after a while and couldn’t believe I took up 20 min of the episode. Definitely cringed the first time I saw it. Overall I thought it was funny though and liked the salad tossing joke-athon that followed after my call.

This post is not very Shalom of you but I forgive you.
I’m a guy that films, mics, and edits multi-camera interviews and it’s a shit ton of work. Camera cuts, audio mixing, color grading, editing out pauses, rendering, etc, etc.. I can’t imagine doing 6 of these a month. Most of these things are over two hours long! That’s basically a full time job for Rog and Crob.
-
the irony of calling them out for not being able to interview, yet you can't let them string a sentence together without talking over and interrupting them.

Roger explains there is a time lag, confirmed by Mcpott. Which Roberts, like you, heard but didn't appear to be able to comprehend.
-
Haha wow that turned the show in the different direction..
Hahaha not that i care but that was embarrassing
-
Haha good job for calling
Monkey_McPott is « trolling from a lighthearted place »
That was fun. You can tell Crob read something here that hurted him a little but we all have our weak spots.

I don't understand it when they claim it's a granted that what they say on the Nine Club should be taken with a grain of salt. Obviously SLAP posts should equally be taken with a grain of salt which Crob sounds like he hardly can, which also leads me to assume he's been hurt by something on here before. His personal grudge shouldn't justify turning the situation into an us vs. them scenario, though, because in reality there's no competition as we're all skateboarders trying our best to cling to an activity we cherish. I don't get the need for some kind of cultural divide.
Maybe it's SLAP humor that might be a bit hard to interpret for people who aren't familiar with the community but I wish the dude could see through what is or isn't complete bullshit amongst the threads that get posted and recognize that despite the rough appearances, their effort in their attempt at nurturing the culture is very much appreciated on here. People post on here to nitpick and discuss because they most often don't have a voice on a show, or miss skateshop banter. Their appreciation of some little details in the show alone is a testimony of how much interest the Nine Club gets if anything. Some businesses only wish they could generate such interaction.
I've said it before but I kind of view SLAP (partly) as worldwide skateboarding's consumer service, and I'm regularly baffled by why certain actors of the industry disregard or expressly reject its existence. We're kind of supposed to be those guys' customers.

Justin: Kelly, did you give him a fist bump after Burnett said good work in the bathroom?
Steezus: Did you sword fight?

Monkey Mcpott: I will buy you a field recorder to capture better audio if you let me. DM.

I would love a Roger slap pals questions also.

Monkey Mcpott I know you wrote that you don't like the sound of your own voice but hardly anyone does and if you can manage to make everyone bust out laughing when you say something as wild as wanting to ease up on Roger and dig in deep then your voice is good. Great banter

I'm pretty sure they spend at least 2 hours setting up for each episode between cameras, microphones, lighting and video switching. All rightful bashing aside, it's a pretty clean setup. I think the editing may be the easiest part of the entire gig.
-
That was dope to see..Crob was triggered "we got our own shit going Bro, why would we go on another platform?"
-
I'm sure nine club has a hard time scheduling guests,but Monkey full on recruits these guys and put himself out there with a Shalom sticker in hand. Both gigs are work, but of course Crob has to boast his shit.
Their show gets more heat when theres a lame/uninteresting guest, wasn't it last yeat they had back to back to back awesome guests and it was a bukkake fest in the threads? They lost momentum for a bit and thats when the nitpicking started.

nine club is the most poosey podcast out there
crob visibly shook about a semi anonymous message board
what do they want? to see a taxpayer ID next to our posts? Sounds a little big brother (not that one)
"WE HAVE A SHOW!" -- but that doesn't allow you to censor the reaction. you're throwing yourself out there for criticism, if it bothers you just quit paying attention and go skate
Then they try and clown Moneky for saying some gay shit about rog when steezus is talking about sword fights.
Nine club are the only ones kookin it here Monkey

Yes ofcourse they have a very clean set up, it looks and sounds extremely professional. They kill it and they have their work flow down so it involves less problem solving and more just the time consuming setups and tedious editing. But that doesnt warrant saying youre above low production projects because of that.
look at bobshirt interviews... they are really great, but no one complains about them having only one camera, filming outside with tons of ambient noise, and they leave the camera's autofocus on making the picture bounce between being sharp or totally blurry. Along with the constant camera shake or movement. (bobby p episodes comes to mind) that being said i love those interviews because they show visuals related to what they are talking about and they get great people on there telling great stories in a very casual environment.
With that ^ im trying to point out that gear/setup isnt always important, you can take a great photo with a disposable camera. its the content that matters.
Pals questions is done for fun (although editing from the other side of the country isnt really that fun), with no budget, low production, and no desire to turn into another generic youtube channel asking for donations/patrons and monetizing the content. and im cool with that.
-anyways sorry for the word salad.

Hahaha Steezus looks so bummed during the slap convo
-
I can't really see the Nine club lasting much longer. They have shown that they can't handle any criticism, and act like they're being forced to do the show against their will. I mean, Roger visibly hates it. It's off putting. I actually liked Chris Roberts before this show, he seemed like a funny and charismatic guy, but now he seems very beaten down and curmudgeonly. Honestly, he makes me uncomfortable and is a terrible interviewer, making the show very difficult to watch for me. Steezus and Eldridge are just absolute cringeworthy morons but Kelly seems nice, albeit kinda dumb, like that kid who just laughs at everything even when it's inappropriate.

I know I’ve said it before but as TK always says “I’m gonna say this one more time” I decided to start the Slap Pals Questions solely to do it and to have an interactive interview between Slap and Skaters/Photographers/Videographers. It’s meant to be low budget and it’s meant to solely for Slap. So I understand that people outside of the message boards might not find the visuals to be top notch nor the questions we ask to be that interesting but at the very least it’s interesting to the person that asked it and more than likely it will be answered. I don’t plan on making any money from it and all the giveaways are provided by the guests so there isn’t really much of an overhead to make all these happen.
If anyone wants to donate anything I’d say donate it to FMS, you know his Insta! And PayPal! I consider editing to be the real hard work in all this. All I’m doing is meeting the people, having coffee with them then filming them. It’s all just a fun hobby to me, not a job. FMS is the one racking his brain making these happen. He’s a true gem that volunteered to help me edit these and has been nothing but a sweetheart the whole way through. The day he quits will be the day I’ll stop doing the show. Love ya dude.
I also love the nine club and have yet to miss an episode (give or take an experience episode). As you can tell I’m a big Roger fan and I really enjoyed him in the early episodes when he was more vocal. It’s possible they could just use a vacation to regain some passion for the show. They’ve been going hard for almost 3 years consecutively and that’s admirable whether you like the show or not. Anyways here I go rambling again, thanks to everyone for the kind words and much love to y’all.

I don't know who in the thread you quoted said they're above low production setups... was it my comment about buying Monket McPott a field recorder? Only reason I suggested that is because some of the interviews were almost inaudible for me.
To one-up this offer: Monkey Mcpott (I like addressing you by this name, by the way. Please never reveal your real name): Google Drive is free and I would totally edit these videos via sharing on that if you'd like. No, I'm not some self-proclaimed production god, I just want to get the best out of these opportunities for candid interviews.
I think he can shoot it with an iphone and I'd be happy. Content is king and the Nine Club probably wouldn't have such a good following if it weren't for their tech, due to how poorly they interview some people.

I found it laughable when crob was basically like show your face etc. like you need my SSN for me to have an opinion on your show that’s public? Also im sure most adults over 25 wouldn’t have a problem saying shit to any of these dudes good or bad in person. So the anonymity of the internet don’t mean anyone’s afraid to say shit in real life. I doubt anyone is worried of the repercussion of what someone that is probably 5 and a half feet tall weighing 150lbs would do.
Not trying to be internet tough guy here but seriously no ones intimidated by anyone of these dudes.
Edit it also got under my skin how they tried say shit after the phone call ended. Like if you wanna go and say some sly shit let a dude at least be able to rebuttal or explain. Bitch made shit from the whine club

I feel like every single person that's done Pal Q's has earned so much respect and appreciation in this place, and I have a feeling Roger will play ball someday soon.
On the other hand, crob's sealed his fate. if he won't skate OR work on his interviewing skills he's got zero career longevity at this point. He neither dignifies nor enriches the culture he has tasked himself with showcasing.

Honestly I think a vacation is really needed. I can’t remember the last episode where roger said more than a few words. Crobs whole thing only worked well cause roger would ask more serious questions and could provide skate nerd knowledge on scenarios to help add to the conversation. The boys should take a break maybe start doing seasons with actual nine club and keep the experience on the every two weeks pattern to help break up the workload.

Monkey McPott, I really enjoyed your call and commend you on your attempt to bridge the gap between these skate media worlds. As others have said, Roger is probably into some of what goes on over here and might even do a Pals Questions one day. I think he's the most likely long term lurker and gets the humour of Slap while also hopefully seeing through the trolls and any associated hating. Crob, Eldy, Kelly and Steezus, having spent more time on the other side of a camera, have had more to lose (trolls & hate) and have an understandably different perspective on Slap.
It's easy to say these guys should have thick skins and take criticism just because they're in the public eye, but that doesn't play out in reality and people take shit to heart. As far as I'm concerned, the amount of skate nerd joy I have gotten from the Nine Club far outweighs any nitpicking. I agree that Crob and Rog need to take a well deserved holiday.
TLDR: Monkey McPott and Roger = Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev

the irony of calling them out for not being able to interview, yet you can't let them string a sentence together without talking over and interrupting them.
Roger explains there is a time lag, confirmed by Mcpott. Which Roberts, like you, heard but didn't appear to be able to comprehend.
Interesting because not a single other caller had any trouble with their exchange. Yeah there's a lag, and Monkey knows he talks a lot. It was very, very hard to listen to him. Crob wasnt shook about slap he was thinking about stabbing monkey in the face with a soldering iron because he wouldnt shut up. However, I think from Monkey's position he did an excellent job of representing exactly what this place is.

Yeah setting up lights and a few cameras isn’t that hard, not sure why they are on such a high horse about their production level. It’s a fucking recorded show, when they do it live at that level then I’ll be impressed.
Raging jealousy.
Imagine trying to stay relevant by hating on a successful entity. Parasitic at best.

Boom roasted.
Also i don’t get a lot of tech stuff but I honestly don’t think the quality of slap questions is bad at all it’s an interview I don’t need Dolby surround sound and 1080 hd to see a person and answer questions. I can hear them fine. Also I enjoy the edit where a clip pops up for reference of what is being talked about. Again great job monkey and FMS. Do your thing

Slap def is a negative place where unpopular opinions get said and snowballed into oblivion, but what the fuck does do those guy's expect? Where's the balls on these guys?! If it bugs those that are big influencers in the industry look at as constructive criticism. I don't think it is our fault that someone shines a light on really really fucked up shit in your community (sexisim power dinamics, racism, homophobia, stealing shit, making money off someone else's talent and calling it mentoring turned sexual abuse?! In fact most would see that as a beacon of hope that ugly and reprehensible stuff should be called out!
I know I have been part of that demon of posting random stuff and talking shit about some Colorado dudes. Part of it is because if I saw them I'd say the same things on here as well, in fact my last employer was part of those dudes. Mad about skateboarding in FT Lauderdale Rob is a cuck but that's besides the point I digress.
Seems to me and just me that if you can't hack it with heckling grow some thick skin you shouldn't be around skaters or in the scene in the first place....

Just finished this weeks experience episode and admittedly am a big fan of the show and i'll watch it/listen to it most weeks depending on the guest. But I gotta say their reaction to Monkey calling was kind of lame, it really showed a different side to kelly...was almost bitter/sarcastic and almost came across with a bully mentality in making snide little comments. I feel like without the slap mention some of the responses would have been a bit different but they all kind of acted lame after that and for sure had a chip on their shoulders.

Agreed for sure, stupid thread and I can see why it would annoy Kelly but it's not like the caller was the guy who made the thread. I mean their reaction was as if that thread and Monkey himself was representing all of Slap.... I feel like Monkey was super nice/laid back in everything he said and didn't really deserve any of the hostility/them trying to make a joke of him or whatever you know when he said several times himself how stupid the "steezus is a racist" thread was. It just seemed that all their resentfulness about slap was thrown onto one caller who associated himself with slap but hate by association is just as closed minded as some of the comments they have probably found in threads about themselves here.
-
i mean, slap does chew on Crob's interview skills, Rog's drinking and whatever else we can daily. we do have a thread dedicated to pros weiner wallets and any number of roasting people's private issues. i can see where as a pro skater i'd be cautious of the dark lords of slap. from what little i know of 4chan slap is kind of the skate version. they invented the ok hand sign as racist for a joke. slap invented shalom while making fun of a schizophrenic african american. 4chan congratulate themselves on getting Trump elected, slap is psyched when we see real world concessions or tributes [DGKalis shouted us out, yay].

For sure. They completely flipped their tone and it wasnt very shalom at all. Monkey kept his cool though and im glad he still brought it up. I think your right though and they need to just get over it and realize its just like any online platform where people can comment. Its funny that even some of the worst just end up focusing their account anyway. Sure they might come back but bad posters come and go .
I also wonder how many new users are coming over from the nine club.

You guys are taking it out of context. Roger said that his first thought when hearing about Ben's suicide was "You selfish son of a bitch", because he was pissed and hurt.

I don't think Roger meant to sound that harsh and you can genuinely see that he is hurt from Ben passing away. I liked that they did address it and had a serious discussion about it. All I was trying to say is had they cut that little snippet I think the conversation would have had a different tone overall.
Also I don't know how I would feel about myself if my first thought is "That selfish son of a bitch" to a dear friend committing suicide. Is that a common reaction or something?

Anger is a pretty common reaction to suicide. Rog was Frank and honest there nothing wrong with that.

I think Rog is a severely depressed person as well.

how anyone can have any reaction except complete sadness for how down and depressed raemers must have been completely baffles me. the poor lad must have felt so alone, sad and lost and bagley’s initial reaction is anger. so weird to me.
-
Suicide is just controversial and too hard to convince the other side that they are right or wrong. Some people just never experienced deep depression and would never in a million years to think to commit suicide. But people that have felt ultimate sadness can agree that those feels suck and just eat in your insides to the point that suicide seems almost reasonable.
Rog is definitely on the other side. I always feel like there should be a hierarchie of people complaining about someone killing themselves and that should be Ben's family....not the friend or filmer.
-
The notion that suicidal people are selfish is a very big factor in stigmatizing mental health issues. I completely understand that Roger is hurt by losing a friend, but comments like that are misguided.

https://www.healthyplace.com/blogs/survivingmentalhealthstigma/2016/04/suicide-and-the-selfishness-stigma
I think these pieces explain it better than I ever could. I don’t think Roger should be chastised for his comments, but if we’re really gonna make a dent in the conversation of mental health, I think it’s at least worth discussing. A good friend of mine took her life this past November and I’m still very hurt by it, but I can assure you that no crass anti-suicide rhetoric (as well intended as they may be) will make anybody feel better about what happened.
-
i was in juvie w/ this kid 25 yrs ago. he killed his parents and little sister because they wouldn't let his gf sleep over. that's selfish. killing yourself is a hell of a thing and hopefully you've explored every option first. i always wish people wouldn't kill themselves but i never think they're selfish because, i've seen real selfishness.
ps Jereme should belatedly give this kid a pro model [he's found allah and has some nutty new muslim name but still locked up]

I'm not sure how common of a reaction that is (I've never had a good friend commit suicide), but I give Roger credit for at least being honest and telling the other guys what he was thinking, regardless of how harsh it sounded.

Or trying to imply you have more tooth in skateboarding than you do. what 40+ year old fanboys on the 9 club hard enough they make an account to defend a show podcast that they have no involvement in. Shouldn’t you have more pressing issues to deal with at your age?

You've been skating since 1986 and never once heard of SLAP the mag and website? Or just of its online message board that is now its last wall standing? Not questioning your street cred on the fucking Internet, really just curious. In general I'm kind of into knowing which bits of the culture people either were or weren't exposed to and whatnot.
You know, there are skateboarders that don't subscribe to ANY of the bullshit you guys think is important. It's fucking wooden plank with trucks and wheels that's fun to ride on.
sounds like the ol' riding a skateboard vs. being a skater chasm.
Some people just like the feeling of riding a board and some love it to the point they want/need to become immersed in the culture. I think most here are the latter. This entire site is dedicated to skate culture and considering the print has been long gone, someone at High Speed thinks its good enough to keep renewing the hosting.

How have you not heard about slap the magazine if you’ve been skating since 86?!
Did you fuckin hear it that time?
Nah, sounds like you're just one of those skaters who skates but didn't pay much attention to the whole industry/mags/videos. Slap Mag was very popular when it was in print - I know many people who held it as their favorite. It was the sister mag to Thrasher, not exactly some unknown independent zine.
As for the site - you may not like the vibe on here, but you're incredibly naive if you think most skaters don't know about the Slap message boards. When I started checking it out about a decade ago it was already pretty infamous, and at the time I didn't even pay attention to much internet skate stuff. At this point it's essentially a household name in skateboarding, like it or not.
Huf did a whole line as a Slap collab - think they'd do that for something that isn't popular? C'mon man, I know your name is soonbanned so you're TRYING to get a rise out of people, but you're really sounding clueless. If you're being sincere, then just accept that you were unaware of how well known Slap is and move on.
If you've been skating since 86' and never even heard of Slap until it was mentioned on The Nine Club, something is up. That's like saying you never heard of EMB.

;D Steezus was way off-base with that theory. Rogers, though, has earned his spot. I may not agree with all of his opinions, but I back his right to say them while Thrasher serves me banners and prerolls for the privilege.

No, honestly it's not hard to believe because some skaters choose to remain more or less foreign to the industry and media, and since a lot of it is mystified marketing most should stop buying into upon entering their 20's I can grasp why. Plus a lot of what one is culturally exposed to has a lot to do with their geographical location growing up. That's why I was specifying that my question was genuine and not loaded, again I like hearing about people's individual backgrounds and how they got to experience skateboarding, which clues they had about it growing up, etc.
Personally nowadays I'm not surprised when people don't know about SLAP at all, especially now that the mag is long gone and the web rules everything; but I do go by the logic that to this day, one who loves skateboarding not just as an activity but also as a social practice will spontaneously try to learn more about its history and culture, not necessarily falling into skate nerd category but at least expanding their horizons and see what others have been, or are currently doing. Skateboarding can be that weekly thing you do at the park on Sundays or it can be something you totally project over and let influence your interests and direction in life. If one is remotely curious about it the point where they've done some basic research about its history then in this case yes, I'd be surprised if they never ran into at least one SLAP mention somewhere though. The mag and its legacy, not the message boards.
I mean, SLAP was never even distributed in my country and still I knew about it. For a while (I'd say late 90's to mid 00's), internationally, the three most famous big mags in U.S. skating were Transworld, Thrasher and SLAP and I feel like most skaters would have told you that at the time if asked. Out of all three (with the exception of some great Transworld phases), SLAP had the most inspired writers and photographers of their time as contributors and - at least here - always notoriously carried the reputation of being what I could only describe as being the most poetic skate mag (fuck how corny that sounds).
So yeah, if you've been around since 1986 with no pause, really lived this shit and cared about the culture one bit whilst doing so (which I'm not questioning), depending on where you grew up and how much of a shit you gave, you may or may not be some kind of odd man out if you really never heard about the mag. The message boards are an entirely different matter, but SLAP the mag might have been more important than you think and you may have been insulated from its impact somehow. Which isn't of any importance whatsoever, but may be a funny anecdote.
Also from my experience, regarding the popularity of the message boards - it seems to be quite popular in English speaking countries even if most people won't admit knowing about the place, honestly, maybe besides a handful of exceptions who are more of the skate-in-circles-around-the-local-park type I don't think I've ever heard one U.S. skater never bring up the SLAP boards ever at any point. In most non-English speaking countries though, the average skater has never heard about it because they're too busy with Instagram and maybe their weekly check of one website in their language if they're bored. The nerdiest of the crop (small number) do seem to know and a lot of them occasionally come on here, though.

I can agree in the sense that this message board is not a hugely important part of skateboarding but the influence is undeniable once you know the facts.
Here some examples
Remember when DC was mikey taylor, Chris Cole, Steve Berra- slap always complained about those guys and the image of DC during that period.
A few years ago they changed management and the new person got rid of all those pretty/preppy kind of guys and ran hard with keeping core/skate rat type dudes.
Wes, Evan, tiago, t funk, Shannahan amount others and they started doing reissues and making models that people wanted again.
That was directly influenced by the presence of slap.
Slap always complained about crail wood, crail recently announced, hey look, we have answered your prayers and got new wood.
DlX has employees who pay attention for defective product posts and sometimes someone will personally message you for a replacement or ask how they can make the situation right for you.
Every major brand has someone lurking slap if not actually having an account.
They come here to find product testers and pay for ad space because they know the reach that slap has.
Huf did a slap collab.
There are major pros who lurk here and occasionally post.
I would think that more than 75% of the skateboarding population is unaware of This forums existence and that’s fine with me.
Skateboarding fully can exist without slap but you’re right that it can’t exist without the crew of friends who are the ones out there buying product and sharing the stoke/love of it.

I won't disagree that slap does have some influence. But remember that the market gets feedback from a lot of places. If the majority of a skateboarding related online community has an opinion on something particular in the industry then there's a good chance that a majority of those outside that community hold the same opinion. It's tantamount to someone looking at the sky and determining that its going to rain, then when it does they go around telling everyone it rained because they said it would.

What? Are you really too dense to see that there's an actual conversation going on here? Look at the thread title man. You want everyone to come in here and stroke each other all day or do you maybe wanna see the opinion of a person that doesn't have a dildo with shalom written on it stuck in his throat? You cannot see the forest from the trees bud.
Personally, I couldn't care less who skates for who. Sponsorship is great for the hard working skaters but it just makes no difference to me. I'm gonna like who I like, skate the boards I skate, and it doesn't matter whether or not those two coincide. Yes by the 90s Muska Circa and Shorty's then later Think but as silhouette says, once in my 20s, what do I care. I just want a board that feels good.
Is a person less of a skater because they don't care who's sponsored by who? Don't care about marketing or politics in skateboarding? Idk, I skate a lot. Not very well but a lot. The people I generally skate with are my nephew and his buddies. I will have to digress a tad because i did kinda steer him in the direction of being a Vincent Alvarez fan, because they have very similar styles, even look a bit alike and I thought he might want to study a skater that was here before instagram.
My mind is changed. Slap is not the worst thing in skateboarding. But some of the people here are representative of the worst things in skateboarding.

You know, SLAP isn't some kind of foreign, parasitic entity that's specifically designed to go for the throat of a succession of targets just because it can, but rather the direct by-product of the aforementioned crews-of-skate-friends-who-aren't-going-away now mostly consisting in people who have Internet access, and will use it to get their fix of skating when they can't actually be skating or don't have a large community to banter with. It's just skaters exchanging with other skaters to keep their minds occupied with skating when off the board; SLAP is the people.
Most often those exchanges are pretty passionate and sincere (given the common denominator of a culture) and certainly not necessarily tailored to the marketing certain industry actors would like to spread. Being a public forum, the words stay for every Google searcher to read them and that's the only reason why this 'place' (which is just skateboarders being themselves on a random platform) is regularly demonized. Some people don't like realizing that skateboarders won't necessarily buy into everything they throw at them, or that because someone runs a business doesn't mean that they can claim owning skateboarding, but then it's really just their frustration in front of the reality of the market that's showing. In a way those guys are Dorian Gray and SLAP is their corrupted portrait.

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.

If everyone was always duct tapped, all the fake reviews, fake comments and media manipulation could work perfectly, when you censor someone, that's cyber-duct tape for profit. The Nine Club is the worst thing in skateboarding because it has absolutely nothing to do with anyone's personal skateboarding and has zero benefits for a skateboarder, we skate, we don't follow cults. The only episode I'd recommend is Mike Vallely's episode which felt like he totally gave the nine club what they deserve, to be dominated for 5 hours while he's nurturing skateboarding at the same time, what a G.

Skateboarder, the only reason they attack Slap is cause on google and fb platforms its very easy to dominate communications, that is the only reason, social media is highly controlled more than most people realize. They don't care about any feedback that won't make them a dollar. They don't care about the current state of skateboarding and how it can improve, they would hurt the skate world more if it meant more profit, that's reality. ps I don't drink cause I love to learn new skate tricks you need all your faculties for that in my opinion. Break through the barrier of disbelief, you learning that trick or trick combo you want to learn is as possible as getting some sun on a sunny day, ask Mullen.

I have for sure, and would try watch again if they had someone I wanted to see on there but I honestly don’t find Chris Robert’s style of interviewing particularly interesting
I had to turn the creager one off but I did watch enough to now know how to say his name
I’m not trying to be hateful at all but I mean the ones where they don’t interview anyone and it’s like a panel format
Maybe he’s trying to be ironic and funny idk never met any of them
Like others have said it’s a wasted opportunity
How do I try explain myself, do you ever watch people interview people? There’s this guy called Louis therox he’s on some borat shit how he gets things out of people. I’m not saying they should try do hatchet jobs on people cause nobody would go on the show
100% the best one they had was some guy that had a skate shop in Brooklyn or something
Never heard of him but he was a little abrasive and I don’t ever remember the specifics but I remember it was entertaining because there was some conflict
I want to be entertained when I watch shit on YouTube
Any book, story, joke, movie, tv show fucken you name it, none of that shit is watchable if there is 0 conflict
