Andy Howell | The Nine Club With Chris Roberts - Episode 147

[Bubblegum Tate]

[sluggers]

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.

[MexicanSpaniard]

wait woah tate bot this better be long

[Buck Bundy]

Really happy to wake up to this! 3hrs and 50mins!?!? There’s gotta be some gems in here.

[Get fired up]

1-800-skypager.   

[fongool]

they tip-toed around it but there was definitely some allusions to beef with Johnny Schillereff

[raji]

finally, been waiting for this

[doublesteveburger]

fuck yes

[Pipe Dreamer]

No Element beef gossip, but the Robot Rap at the end is strangely SHALOM

[givecigstosurfgroms]

I might actually watch this one.  Hopefully I'll  break on thru Crobs intro and the crews bullshit.

[breezer]

I cant figure out whats going with his hair?

[booty]

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.

"compund fracture, technics scratcher"

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

[Cool Ceith]

4 hours? Jesus. I'm guessing there is a lull.

[FLstrange]

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!!

[Dark Knight]

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).

[corto]

I see Howell and Schillereff are like mirror images of one another. All that was missing from the end was him tapping a drum...

[144p]

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

[Cool Ceith]

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

RIP
Pepe Martinez
Mike de Geus
Harold Hunter

[Allen.]

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.
