Lance Mountain | The Nine Club With Chris Roberts - Episode 127

[Pavs323]

my face when lance believes in god.
Omg there so much bullshit in this episode about “the lord”
Could be worse tho, like Brian Sumner on the All I Need podcast.

Yeah not gonna lie, when he said “the lord is the answer for everyone whether they know it or not” and kept hammering on about the Bible, I almost had to turn it off.
Lance is a rad dude, but the world would be a better place if most Christians didn’t somehow find a way to interject Jesus and how you “need him” in EVERY conversation.

[SneakySecrets]

What sort of inner demons are you guys struggling with to be that insecure and defensive about religion?  It’s a major part of his life; it’s going to come up.  It would have been disingenuous of him to not mention it.  I don’t think he was being preachy about it whatsoever.

[lamfordie]

What the fuck was going on in the first 40 minutes.  I felt like I was hearing some old man diatribe about how good old days were better.

Exactly. Kinda like how everything Dustin said came back to being an alcoholic; and everything Andy Mac said came back to his strange obsession with corporate sponsorship and being a dork in general. It's Lance's story, he's telling it, he can say it how he sees it.

[Mount St. Hermdog]

Y'all would light Josh Harmony up in an instant for saying half the stuff Lance did about his spirituality lol

[Get the strap]

This is unbelievably sick, other than the Hosoi episode for his laugh, I'll definitely rewatch clips of this for the old school stories.

Yeah, but Josh Harmony is a total kook.

Q.E.D.

Josh can't be a kook unless by the same logic Lance is, too

Okay, Lance is a kook too. I have no dog in this fight, mr. intellectual

I love it

Well yeah. Hadn’t this been established already? This conversation is when 9 club is at its best.

[sluggers]

He said he couldn't ride for Rocco or Girl because of his religious beliefs, but he can ride for Adidas and
Nike?

WTF.

[AssBandit]

I didn't finish it, but did he mention how he was a hard core Trump supporter?  I'd love to hear his perspective behind that, but it's prob just based on 'the lord' & being anti-abortion. 

Not trying to be controversial, it's just a fact that most people know.

Wait...really? I wonder how he feels about skating for Nike with their support of Colin K?

[straight fucking edge]

who cares actually

[poor alice]

Four hour podcast? This better be fucking interesting.

He said he couldn't go into business with someone unless they were Christian, eg. Rocco, Crailtap.
He just rides/rode for Adidas/Nike.

*I'd say partly because the other business owner/s wouldn't be down with paying 10% of profits to the Lord.

   Bit of bullshit there id say.   Imo he 'went into business' with adidas/nike by endorsing the products they make in exchange for large sums of $.

he's not part owner of either, he's a contracted professional, I'm sure by proxy they are paying him in which he then gives up to whatever christian fund he chooses. But maybe im wrong.

[hip bruise]

He loves this imaginary dichotomy between Rocco & Peralta.

Willfully blind to the fact that what he decries about World has been turned to
science, perfected & amplified a million times over by Nike, Adidas, etc.

Whether hes part owner or a contractor its the same shit in terms of 'going into business' imo.  And how much of his nike $ does lance give to charity?  - its not the lions share of it id say.

some churches actually have a breakdown of what do donate per income, it's never the lions share.

Great, you disagree with him.

Glad we got that sorted.

[verylowimpact]

I've always prided myself with 'playing skateboarding' and being a skateboarder at the same time vs only being a 'skateboarder'. Dudes who are strictly just 'skateboarders' are usually clueless gross kooks who can do a lot tricks.

I would've quitted skating a long time ago if I was strictly just the latter. 'Playing skateboard' or being a nerd about it is the best shit...hands down.

GOD LOVES SKATEBOARDING FOR MONEY

[Colt Cannon's Cargos]

I wish I wouldn't have listened to that because it completely ruined who I thought Lance Mountain was in my mind (411vm intro guy)

[TMKF]

Amazing episode which took 2 days to finish. Lance was a little before my time honestly so I never fully appreciated him but this was insightful. I really respected how open and honest he was about everything especially about being a Christian as I can't imagine that's easy to do knowing the blowback he would likely get. It's pretty sad that it was such a small part of the episode but has become the main topic of discussion in the thread, mostly hate. We now live in a time where even the smallest hint of prejudice even as a joke isn't tolerated, but for some reason that rule doesn't apply to Christians. All of you who are talking shit on the man for his religious beliefs are either bigots or hypocrites, you can't have it both ways.

Fuck it though, great episode. I wanted more.

[hip bruise]

I’m talking shit because Lance is a fake.

He repeatedly makes the deliberate point to speak about his faith and it’s impact on his perception/actions.

Then he chooses to do business with companies whose actions contradict and debase his own stated Christian values.

And yes it is possible to live life without being a hypocrite, maybe set the bar a little higher for yourself

What's even more intense is he said he was giving 10% of The Firm's SALES towards the church.  I can respect that kind of dedication to anything it just seems a tad aggressive with a company you're attaching people to.  That being said he was definitely the first to say he fucked it up or he messed it up.  Not religious at all, but I like the dude maybe even a little more after that.
