Wtf is up with the nine club

[pugmaster]

Steve Van Doren is one righteous dude

[thehogsniper]

SVD is pretty interesting in the interview, one of those guys who has a pretty known persona of being a nice guy but actually has some really intelligent insight into the industry. I could tell that they hadn't read his dad's book, which kind of ticked me off because it's a super easy read and pretty interesting. The whole pigeon story was covered in the book, so it comes across as lazy journalism. It would have been nice for them to avoid redundancies when the ground has already been covered. It's really a shame that Vans has lost their vision and deemed it necessary to jump into too many footwear sectors, but SVD is pretty good at maintaining his positive outlook, despite nowadays being little more than a spokesperson. I believe this is the longest interview he's ever done, but it would have been cool if the guys actually tried to get to know him a little more. I don't need to hear about the Rowley statue. It's cool it happened but they really have gotta let viewers get in on asking questions.

There was this really awesome website in 1998/1999 that had a lot of videos of Wisconsin (Milwaukee?) skaters.  It was when there really wasn’t much online videos to watch, but this site had a LOT of video to watch.

A lot of it was your homey camcorder type stuff, but Mr. Lugska himself as a young buck was at the very tippy top of talent.

I remember thinking that this dude is fucking GOOOD: I wonder if he’ll be pro.

Sure enough, like the next year or something he was blowing up.

The smoothest thing I think he was doing was 270 boards. Maybe even a flip in there.

I don’t know… he just always had talent and really smooth style that stood out.

If anyone can remember the website…

Wait, a minute… was it… WISKATE.com? Does that ring a bell to anyone?

*edit: it is WIskate. Holy shit. And the site still exists.

Lutzka was so naturally gifted on a skateboard. Too bad he moved to the oc at the worst time possible for skateboarding. Very douchey. Had he moved to SF when he was on krooked his skate career might have been very different. He seems to be doing very well for himself despite all the weird sponsors and stuff.

Doooooownloaded with the quickness. Thank you

Had to turn off the Lutzka interview after an hour. He was a great guest but Chris just wouldn't let him speak. Greg constantly saying hang on to even finish a thought or tell him that they skipped over a lot of stuff.

[Oh yeahhhhhhh!]

Same. Crob was creaming himself over all the money talk and couldn’t contain himself.

I must thank you immensely again: the outro song was by a group I embarrassingly missed back in the day completely.

Damn this is good.

He definitely got a massive erection from the money talk.
But it got better again right after the k-swiss thing.

Lutzka is a weird case. Good skater but I always thought he was hella lame because of his sponsors and horrendous taste in outfits.

But I'm impressed with how smart he was with marketing himself and his investments. Dude made bank.

Crazy we’re talking about the same guy who turned down a spot on Toy Machine to stay on Illenium

Crob seems to be increasingly on-edge.

Haha true, my mind was literally blown 😳

It’s interesting how a take on another person differs from person to person.

I’m listening and it seems that Lutza is super hyped and he just keeps talking and talking, making so others have to jump in to say anything.

But I like show, so my bias is that everyone’s good.

Yeah that’s how I saw it too. But of course people are quick to blame crob. And I don’t even like the show that much. It definitely has its moments though.

[mikevsleftlightningtat]

Not jumping to crobs defense but my take so far (65 min in) is that lutzka truly is fan boying/overwhelmed and is all over the place. Got such a kick out of crob saying “a 2 million dollar deal” - lutzka then attempting to correct him by saying “I said a couple million” and crob breaking the news to him that a couple = 2 lol

Also would love to start seeing a word count from Jeron after each ep. Dude probably said less than 20 with SVD but the lutz seems to break him out of his shell. Weird

[Fartknocker415]

Lutzka is a fellow pro meanwhile Steve van doren  is corpo executive so jeron prob felt more comfortable with the fellow pro

I actually don’t normally mind Chris. But this one was bad IMO. I wanted to hear more about the Illenium & Beer City days but they skipped right past it as Chris couldn’t control himself asking about deals & stuff that were later on in Greg’s career.

My favorite part of the Steve Van Doren episode is when he’s describing potentially owning a restaurant and how the boards and stuff on the walls would be ever changing every three months or so “like a gecko that changes colors and stuff” except he accidentally called it a Greco

Hahaha, still makes sense though

[highlife light]

Funny they asked Greg about going to the same hypnotist as Rob Dyrdek. Leading up to that, I kept thinking he talks in a similar way to Rob, and now I wonder if that's because of the success hypnotist or whatever they called it.

[versacekid420]

Crob seems to be increasingly on-edge.

it’s even worse on the live episodes. especially the one with andy anderson

[Rein]

Liked the Lutzka episode for the first two hours, then he started giving off some narcissistic-crypto bro-influencer vibes and I had to turn it off.

[mikevsleftlightningtat]

Holy shit that was bad. Lutzka defending his $30 big box completes for 30 minutes and saying he can watch the same ep of shark tank over and over was the last straw for me

[EARL***THE***PEARL]

Some more to look toward to

BEAUTIFUL

Yeah the last part lost me. Big time LA rich guy vibes. Getting hypnotized to fulfill his entrepreneurial visions. He looks up to present day dyrdek and Mike Taylor

That’s why it was my favorite part. Wasn’t there a gecko Greco photoshop floating around here at some point?

yeah, patiently waiting for this one

Havent listened to the show since January so its gonna be interesting hearing what you lot are talking about

Did listen to the clip on Lutzka losing his car sponsorship

Kinda crazy he was surprised a car company wanted him to drive the car they gave him, but good for him for getting a check to not fulfill his end of the deal i guess?

[lamfordie]

Lutzka did not want to spill the beans on how he got the Walmart deal. Its probably his main source of income now.
