Wtf is up with the nine club

[Banned from the room]

I agree.

I don't dig the talk.

All they doing is subtract the NO HOMO quote.

I'll start watching again when they cut that shit out.

Everyone is doing it because it stairs response. Tony Hawk and Ellis are slaying us in views?!?

I told you Ellis pretending to be gay and oppressed was going to give them the edge. Don't you know only gay people skate today!?! Well I'll be. How'd this happen?

Idk but we gotta up the penis talk immediately or we're doomed!!!

No homo

They just got Gary so it's gotta be the peak.

He should have brought Joel tho

genuinely not trying to be a hater, but the show, and live show especially feels so formulaic and sorta forced nowadays. Feels like they all just show up every week because they’re used to doing a show and not because they actually care or are invested in skateboarding anymore. Chris even alluded to wanting to escape being tied to skateboarding in a recent episode, like he’s pigeonholed or something.

Also the mental gymnastics they’re pulling on that recent show to somehow differentiate themselves from skate YouTubers or whatever is baffling. They really put themselves on this pedestal because they were pro at one point and have industry access, but they’re dropping shocked face thumbnails and clickbait titles on their videos. I don’t like the hypocrisy and lately I’ve just been getting a vibe that these dudes are a representation of the clicky, elitist side of the industry that you always hear about. Feels like the mask is coming off a bit.

^^ completely agree.  They put up a total facade.  They are okay people but, besides Jeron, they’re not especially friendly or outgoing off-camera.  The show is something of an act, but (as has been well-established) when they’re able to bring on an interesting guest, it can be a very good platform.  Their holier-than-thou schtick has been an on-going thing… definitely wears thin with all the other podcast options out there, where you see the passion coming through and no one’s even making a dime from it.

Crob has been pretty transparent he wants to be a big YouTuber but he knows he has nothing to offer the average person and it grates on his soul.

I think they missed their biggest opportunity after the adidas copa events stopped. They could’ve become a skate media event team and maybe transitioned into bigger stuff. Only Kelly really leaned into that with the judging.

Pretty wild how Gary thinks he’s saving lives and is rich or some shit.

Out here giving life advice lol. People so warped.

I am intrigued now. And not shooting your thoughts down in any way. I’m here for the convo.

Do you remember exactly on what episode they were differentiating from skate YouTubers? Curious to listen to the nuance in what they said, because they made an effort to have their backs on Ben D’s episode by even referring to them as “skaters that YouTube”.

And it always seems that they 100% support skaters looking for alternative incomes streams other than pro skating.

It wouldn’t fit into their MO if they were all of a sudden saying in some way that they’re better than any skateboarder that YouTube’s.

(Yes I know you got a channel, been watching since you had less than 1000 subs, when you made a review on the x97’s vs the Dragons… and it straight up made me go buy x97’s the next day. Just didn’t want to seem like I was being combative in my comments )

[citycity]

Yes Gary we feel you, lol. What a sage of wisdom.



How many times people gonna say you feel me. Jesus Christ.

I think it was the last live episode that was like 4 hours long,within the first 20 or so minutes, it wasn’t exactly what they said it was how they said it. Chris and Kelly were having a back and forth about YT and how they get recommended videos from random skate channels and the whole exchange just felt really dismissive and condescending. I also should state that I was a bit buzzed when I watched it so the possibility of me taking something out of context is entirely possible lol. I’ll revisit it and if I was just in my feelings over something minuscule I’ll modify my comment lol. Also really appreciate you watching my shit, man. I hope you liked the X97’s. I ended up swapping back to F4’s shortly after just out of preference but I still recommend those wheels to people looking for a softer ride.

[CossRooper]

You guys.... I'm a nine club stan on here and even I don't watch the stream. Stop watching that shit. The interviews can be good and I say that all the time -- Crob and the guys have proven repeatedly they can do a good interview. But no way am I gonna listen to those dudes ramble for 3 hours without a guest. There are an infinite number great podcasts covering literally any topic out there that I could be checking out instead.

i could see what you're saying. I guess because they are being recommended videos of people they've never heard of they feel like its weird that YouTube would recommend it. I know it isnt what they're saying, but it almost feels like they think only people from the "industry" should have a viewership like that.

I think most skate youtubers are corny (not all) only because you can tell some of them are making content for the sake of content, but like someone mentioned about podcast alternatives it is nice when people make content around something theyre hyped on.

gonna check out your videos senjor dad board. it isnt easy putting yourself out there so I commend you and anyone else doing it

I know I mentioned meeting Jeron and him being a class act in this thread already, but I remember when I saw Kelly at a demo. He stayed at the top of the roll in just doing stationary tre flips the whole time. When I said whats up he was kind. Maybe because it was because he was the flow guy on the trip at the time.

He just wanted to know where the party was at though

Yeah I totally understand the urge to dismiss most skateboarding related YT content, when I got back into skating at the ripe old age of 35 I immediately went to YT because I was already on there for other entertainment and education purposes and I was so detached from the culture I figured it would be a good way to reorient myself. I was pretty bummed out when I discovered the vast majority of it was being represented by people I felt didn’t match the criteria of what I consider the culture I grew up in. That was actually a big reason I decided to start my own channel to offer an alternative to the cartoony shenanigans being broadcasted. There’s a lot of hidden gems though and I feel like if you’re a skate podcast that’s primarily on YouTube you should know that. He always brings up Tom Asta and a handful of other pros who’ve so heroically sacrificed their time and energy to bless YouTube with REAL skate content. I’m probably just overreacting but the more I see of their personalities on the live show the less I like them.

I like Dad Board's videos. They're fun and mostly light hearted, and make me want to go skate. Though I do enjoy some good old fashioned shit talking content from time to time as well. Balance.

Damn, dude really hates Nike.  I’m not buying that he actually gives a shit about their labour ethics, so someone a Nike must’ve really burned him at some point.

Damn, dude really hates Nike.  I’m not buying that he actually gives a shit about their labour ethics, so someone a Nike must’ve really burned him at some point.

Yea, it was weird hearing him go off on nike and didn't have a problem with Adidas because "they back up and coming athletes"?!?!  And yes Gary, Jordans are Nike's, no matter what logo you stick on those shoes they will always be nike. 

It almost sounded like Gary and Nine Club had some drama at some point, not sure what Gary was on about in the beginning of the episode when he commented about doing their separate thing.

Also thought it was interesting to hear him talk about SOTY and the Nyjah video that dropped in 2022.  When he said "there are current pro's who thrasher wont upload or fuck with because of some bullshit they did in the past" ...I immediately thought of Yonnie

[versacekid420]

idk he’s been on that since 2012

[Kook Me Amadeus]

Gary episode is pretty entertaining, skipped around a bit… the SOTY discussion until the end was some of the best stuff.  I like how Gary pushes all their buttons but keeps it mostly civil.  It was kinda interesting hearing his take on the innerworkings of Thrasher - gleaned some things from that for sure, and to hear them all allude to GH without wanting to say his name was sorta funny.  I can see why they’d be salty, he’s definitely roasted them a ton.  And I can see what y’all mean about there seeming to be beef between Nine Club and Gary, but I read it as Gary trying to challenge them to be better, in his own odd way.  The way the episode ends with him laughing to himself about potentially failing, seemingly having a breakdown, was pretty sick.  He’s a fascinating guy.
