the people that bitch about the nine club didn't grow up in the era of pre-internet skating. there was NOTHING.
411VM (4-6 times a year), magazines (once a month), Captain and Casey Show, SPoT event live streams (twice a year), videos from brands (maybe 10 in a whole year?)...THAT WAS IT.
and with half of that shit, it cost actually money. you had to actually order or find the DVD's and magazines.
I used to go to Hollister to buy Thrasher because nowhere else in my tri-county area sold it.
I could only watch Captain and Casey at my grandma's 3 times a year IF it was even on while I was there.
I used to buy skate videos with altered soundtracks at Best Buy because you couldn't find any skate videos anywhere else.
I used to sit for 9 hours to Limewire download transworld videos at 480p.
think about what it was like BEFORE the internet?!
all of this new content is important. some content is better than others. but im grateful for all of it.
the idea of actually bitching about skate related shows and content is so fucking ignorant and sad.
if you don't like it, don't watch it.
