Andy Macdonald | The Nine Club With Chris Roberts - Episode 126

[Nosferatu]

It's amazing how much money he made as a "professional skateboarder" in the early 2000s when no actual skateboarders cared about anything he did. Has anyone ever watched an Andy Mac part? Did anyone actively seek out the X-Games vert contest? The "core" skate industry is a drop in the bucket. Andy laughed all the way to the bank while we argued over hesh vs. fresh.

[Johnny Rocketflips]

Good episode, Andy is cool.

[Joust Ostrich]

No, he's not.

[Giza Butler]

No, he's not.

true, but was somehow interesting to hear his point.

As far as this being better than the Dollin episode, it was just better spelled. They are polar opposites of extremes.

seriously feel like ignoring anyone who respects this dumb fuck dipshit but don't want this to become a huge echo chamber.

seriously did you guys all skip over the part where he's bragging about his part in amazon selling skateboards? do you hate skateshops?

in anybody that would be shopping in a normal skate shop's defense, nobody is using any of the parts that make up his amazon completes.  his amazon presence I would presume poses no threat to any real skate shop.

Like he said kids get a better start in skating and will go to a skateshop when their Amazon board breaks.

Andy obviously likes himself a lot, do you really think he had thatbig of an influence with Amazon selling skate shit?

My bet is he overembellished that story just like plenty of others he talked about.

A company like amazon doesn’t really need to call upon a pro skateboarder to help establish their skate section. They could go onto ccs or tactics and see how they break it up.

He should’ve been endorsed by airheads instead of redvines

Woooooow, that is the best one liner I've read here for a while haha!  The dude definitely comes off a little defensive like everyone's already going to make fun of him.  Seems like the kid who has gotten picked on and is then real ready to pull out his accomplishments and over-compensate.  Was a little out of place on a show where everyone's being nice to him.

Patagonia sponsorship is pretty sick, Alex Olson is so jealous

enjoying this episode so far, it kind of reminds me of the chiefs episode

I liked this episode. Made me respect Mr Andrew Mac more than I ever thought I would. Skateboarding means something different to everyone, made me really sit and think with that.

I love that skateboarding has room for so many different kind of weirdos, from Andy Mac to Dustin Dollin. Lance Mountain to Duane Peters. You can be a straight edge weirdo, or a drunk weirdo, and you can go rip.

I think what he did with Amazon is lame, but I don't think Jeff Bezos would never have discovered skateboards if it wasn't for Andy. Skateboarding is growing because it's fun. Andy Mac didn't convince people skating is safe, it's 2019 and skateboarding has been part of the cultural zeitgeist for a while. Cardio B is on the radio singing about eating ass. Things that were dangerous and counter culture in 1992 are no longer dangerous and are just culture.

Would you kindly direct me to Cardio B's ass eating lyrics?

Cardi B’s new hit single “Money” has a line about getting her ass eaten. She isn’t the one doing the ass eating. She says “he gonna eat this ass like soup” followed by ad-lib slurping sounds in the background. It’s great. Cardi B rules.

Rappers have been making singles about eating ass since the 90’s though. “My neck, my back, lick my pussy and my crack.” The song “Put It In My Mouth” has the lyric “I’ll be sprung once I feel your tongue in the crack of my ass.” Granted these weren’t #1 hits but they were still singles and I heard them when I was a pre teen.

On another note, this Andy Mac interview was much better than expected. I listened to the whole thing. I don’t have anything bad to say.

Setting the record straight on ass eating in popular music. Thank you for your service.

I enjoyed the references to Ratz.   I skated the first location of Ratz in Old Orchard Beach sometime around '89 or '90.  They moved to Biddeford a year later and the park was sweet - all really well built and perfect transitions.  I loved the spine ramp into the bowl.  I wish we had access to video as easy as it exists now.  I have zero footage of me back when I actually was decent.

By the time Andy Mac and Chris Miller were there I had moved to college and my skating days were mostly done for a couple decades.

I ran into Tom - the owner - again in the late 90's at some mountain bike races.  Nice guy.  He unfortunately died of cancer a few years back. It looks like he designed quite a few new england parks and left a lasting mark on the scene. 

His daughter - Ellen Noble - races professional mountain bike and  cyclocross and is one of the top two or three US women.


EDIT: Found a good video of the Ratz in '91.  They had a perfect 40' wide vert ramp that isn't shown here. I had forgotten when the bowl was this big, but I did skate it a few times.  The next year is when they cut the bowl down and put it as a spine with the mini.

Guaranteed Andy Mac has never eaten ass nor had his ass eaten.

Too scared to get some doo-doo stains on his yellow tee.
