Nine Club experience says Slap is worst thing in skateboarding

[Shifty Flip]

[Monkey_Mcpott]

2 hours? Nah. Im going to need a time stamp bruh.

[TurdyBird]

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

[Shifty Flip]

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.

[Monkey_Mcpott]

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.

[TurdyBird]

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.

[Fred Savage]

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?

[Francis Xavier]

Richard Jackson is more of a negative troll on Instagram than any of us are on here.

[Madam, I'm Adam]

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.

[CHONGO]

they got a semi point.

[KoRnholio8]

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.

[Trickflip]

Way to ignore our appreciation page

[Andrefosho]

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.

[TurdyBird]

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.

[Sick Duck]

Scooters are the worst thing in skateboarding. Shalom

[Budgie Lasek]

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.

[dallou]

Well it's a pretty negative place except if your are Fred Gall or Bobby Worrest.

[dallou]

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.

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.

[Silky Johnson]

Roger is a know it all kook.

[Budgie Lasek]

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 🗃

[straight fucking edge]

slap is absolutely a very negative place.

[shit_for_brains]

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?

[Beeda Weeda]

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.

[stephop]

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.

[Hevonen]

slap is absolutely a very negative place.

Yes, and I absolutely love it for that

[PABLOS SWANPOWERS LOBSTER]

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.
