So gnarly.
I recently dug out a letter he wrote to me on New Deal xeroxed ad copy thirty years ago after sending the obligatory SASE.

wait woah tate bot this better be long
-
Really happy to wake up to this! 3hrs and 50mins!?!? There’s gotta be some gems in here.
-
1-800-skypager.
-
they tip-toed around it but there was definitely some allusions to beef with Johnny Schillereff
-
finally, been waiting for this
-
fuck yes
-
No Element beef gossip, but the Robot Rap at the end is strangely SHALOM
-
I might actually watch this one. Hopefully I'll break on thru Crobs intro and the crews bullshit.
-
I cant figure out whats going with his hair?

Yo could anyone confirm that the slide at 1:00 is (old) Jackson Square in New Orleans? I deadass argued a few skaters to death on this. I always heard he would skate the N.O. with Pitre and that there always looked like Jackson Square ledge that has since been re-done.
Was dumb psyched on Andy when I was a shorty. His Sk8 TV interview comes out right after I moved to Atlanta and I always thought every older skater was Andy when I would see a dude just pushing down the street.

In the late 80's/early 90's he was my doppleganger, to the point where when that SK8 TV interview aired, my mom walked in, saw the TV and asked me when I filmed that.

It's Jackson Square, I think they just randomly drove through New Orleans on the way to Florida and stopped and checked it out, Pitre wasn't skating much at the time, there's a few other New Orleans tricks in the vid, julian does a bank to bank gap at the intercontinental hotel, Rick Ibasera ollies a hip at the same spot. If you look at New Deals newest post its Rick Ibaseta skating Rivergate from the same trip
-
4 hours? Jesus. I'm guessing there is a lull.
-
everyone looked super awkward when he played his kid son's pop song in full (3:19:25), then the 15 minute long text-to-speech autobiography rap poem thing at the end (3:37:45).

Wow! -that switch nose bonk was rad!!

Good stuff. Made me remember that I learned pressure flips on a Justin Girard board because I got it in my head that, “If he can do it, I can do it on his board.”

Same. But Girard's Useless Wooden Toys intro is so cringey now. (Nevertheless: best front shuvs in the game.)

It was young but the internet was definitely part of the culture in '93 (though skate industry was lagging a bit).

I see Howell and Schillereff are like mirror images of one another. All that was missing from the end was him tapping a drum...
-
A couple things I found interesting.
Doesn't sign/autograph anything but will talk about himself endlessly.
Doesn't remember the name of the photographer who took his first mag photo but fires at his level of credibility and then expects him to shoot a bunch of pics of tony hawk.
Pony tail.
Name drops like there is no tomorrow.
Would love to hear Jamie Thomas tell his version of Zero Sophisto scenario.

yeah i thought he was joking about that but i guess not
It was cool to hear the early new deal and underworld element stuff

Skypage was one of my favorites back in the day, but looking back now: Was Underworld Element cursed?

Is this dude serious
-

Agreed, as I was/am a huge fan of New Deal and Underworld Element and wanted a glimpse into that time period.

Want to know what really happened. need to get Paul, Andy, Steve and Johnny in a room and hash it out.

many times chris would try to interject in an attempt to get a word in, but would get swiftly cut off by andy's endless stream of self-promotion.
-
I take back my “fuck yes”, I couldn’t listen to Andy speak for more than 30 minutes and I’m sincerely bummed about it.
-
tough crowd?
I'm loving this one, lots of little insights that we couldn't have gotten from the snippets in magazines at the time.
New Deal was fucking heavy when it came out, Ed's one foots are still burnt into my brain.
Zero Sophisto had great imagery at the time and my first UE board was a Chris Hall "Cypress Hall" board
FUCK YES!
edit: I also had a pair of mustard new deal jeans with purple pockets and I thought they went so well with my green puma Clydes ;)

Noticed that so much, i know alot of people think chris has no intelligent input but he barely had a chance on this episode haha, i cringed a few times as andy just spoke over any of the 3 trying to get a word in.

for anyone currently in the thread who didnt make it through the entire episode, both of these are concentrated grade-A pain. i think chris, roger, and kelly are going to have to deal with PTSD down the road after being forced to sit there and silently endure these and act supportive by pretending that they enjoyed what they just heard.
-
I just stuck around for the ND/Element talk in the first half. I'm good.

Imagine you and your partner having a couple's dinner with Andy and his wife. When they start showing all the neat stuff their kids have been up to...

Not very far into this but I find it hard to believe he didn't remember the photographer's name who he let stay at his house, who shot his first photo in Thrasher, and who he gave 10 rolls of film to.
This just struck me as really odd.
Anyways..

Andy Howell is a dick.

skated a pro contest without being a pro and started a company and turned himself pro?

Thanks natenola for that slice.
I also tried noselides on that many times back in the wonder years. No makes, got broken off plenty. I found a heroin overdose guy in the bathrooms below the staircase and I believe the kid ended up living. Was there on Y2K too. Spent way to much time in the square as a yoot. Felt like the center of the universe in the 90's.
-
Holy shit this guy is pretentious and boring to listen to. May have to tap out on this one.

Same people that called me stupid for predicting a boring ass episode are now posting here saying how bad it sucked. of 147 episodes ranked by views this would be 120th on the list currently. It's time for Sheckler Cardiel Gonz Trujillo Templeton etc.

So did your prediction influence others to skip this episode? Bravo.
There is no godly reason why anything should be 4 hours long. Especially if douchebag Andy Howell is involved.

See I'm glad to see a Nine Club interviewee who actually gets to tell stories like they're supposed to instead of being interrupted all the time by filler questions, dude did go off on many personal tangents but why the fuck watch a podcast about him if one is not trying to hear him speak? I feel like every time one of those things come out people complain about either the hosts being too intrusive with generic questions, or the guest talking too much. Where does one draw the line? Been watching it on and off for the past two days, I'm two thirds in so far, kept listening after the Underworld Element / New Deal stories for a bit and will most likely resume later. Way into it but also a big New Deal fan.
Nine Club isn't the nerdiest shit out there (Chromeball, Bobshirt) but I never seem to understand why people seem to think the culture would be better without it. There's the commercial aspect but with the culture currently being diluted to shit by the mainstream, I think a platform giving people like Puleo or Andy Howell room to speak for three hours is crucially beneficial (they aren't pointing a gun to anyone's head either), and might turn many amongst the current generation of kids into potential skate nerds who will later find their way to videos from before their time and so on. It's a matter of transmission, personally I'm thankful for any initiative of such a kind. In a world without the Nine Club kids would still buy completes from the mall and assume skateboarding is Nyjah; in a world with such an accessible podcast, at least they have the option to get a better clue.

just wanted to add that without varied opinions and criticism we would just be a bunch of conformist "yes men." much to the industry's chagrin, we aren't, because that is not what skateboarding is about.
-
Oh of course, I see SLAP as the place for skaters worldwide to vent their opinions on skate shit so if anything, voicing them is encouraged don't get me wrong. I'm just genuinely confused by how in every Nine Club thread, there always seems to be people talking about how overly vocal this or that party is. From the hosts' side I can understand having a hard time with, but from the guest's I don't really get it.
There's being yes men and there's being unreasonable as far as judgement is concerned, not saying anyone in this thread is any of that. Positive criticism can be as constructive as negative criticism so I think it's cool to show public appreciation for the positives in something that's popularly slandered as uncool, sometimes quite unfairly. I don't like the idea of pinpointing SLAP as a cesspool of pure negativity where only the bad side of everything gets a mention, because that's exactly the argument industry actors like to use to ridicule and disqualify it when in reality it's a representation of their direct customers - with the possibility of public interaction with them as well - they should view it as a fucking gold mine (that also happens to be full of shit because it's fucking skateboarding and skateboarders we're talking about). Really the Nine Club vs. SLAP phantasmal construction has gotten out of hand from both sides, when the dichotomy shouldn't exist, we're all skateboarders and I believe that's what skateboarding is about, if anything.

Had the same mustard jeans, but I had green sambas instead. What a weird time.

When he named dropped James Lavelle I was fucking out.

hahaha
I also had a cream hat with a chocolate brown brim that basically had no other branding on it except a little "deal" written in tiny letters on the back. Crazy time to be alive for sure, but you could certainly tell if someone was an actual skater or not

HAHA oh my god. i tapped out before he pulled out his phone, pretty much 5 minutes after he started talking about the tech world...
i dont care who you are, no one, and i mean NO ONE, wants to hear 7 minutes of text-to-speech bullshit.
it seems like Chris didnt want to edit it out and burn bridges with Andy haha
the second he started talking about the tech world he reminded me of a friend of mine that works at some start-up and talks about the shit he does like hes saving lives and moving the world to a better brighter future even though its a financial app thing.

whoever asked about nola in skypager, yeah that's the ledge by the fortune tellers. julien drops in and slams during his UE part. i always thought that was odd then he does a kf over some brick bumps over plants in downtown nola too.

Might be reading into it, but they all kind of seemed sick of each other by the end of it. Seemed like Crob tried to "wrap it up" early and often.

I disagree. By the end, Andy was still a huge fan of Andy.
-
He said people thought he was slipping after his Skypager part came out but that they didn't realize it was all switch. I think you have to show your regular stance to contrast the switch stuff, especially back then when it looked like he was struggling. I did respect his hot tub game though.

King of the humblebrag. He failed to mention that most of his regular clips were hella sketchy anyway.
