I think it was shared around slap that crail pros all made $3k per month guaranteed, and if they all got cut in half now that would be $1.5k

If you’re not making enough to pay your employees you don’t deserve to be in business. Regardless of the industry. Glad Chico got out and is doing well for himself.

They probably were still paying their actual employees on time. Sadly, the riders are all contractors and it’s a lot easier not to pay them on time without penalty. Not saying that’s cool, but that’s the reason why we hear stories about riders getting paid late all the time.

This is why pro/am skateboarders need a union. It’s absurd they go without healthcare and rely on a handshake to get paid at this point in the industry. Not to mention having virtually no exit plan or retirement package after spending their formative years breaking themselves off to help a company sell product.

Does the pron industry have unions?

I'm sure the industryheads won't let it get that far, they have their ways, like the time they caught the ferry over to shelbyville.

I don’t think it will happen anytime soon. There’s too many young people who would give anything just to get free product and some attention. To them it’s like winning the lottery to be selected to represent a company, and in a way it is. Just sucks because it’s a bunch of old guys running the show who know better and don’t see any need for reform. It would take some kind of legislation to qualify skaters as employees rather than contractors.

I’m assuming this means there’s a Jackson Curtin episode?

[50mm]

Just finished the Chico episode, really good. I like when skateboarders talk candidly. I also think the show isn't that bad. I took a break for a few years and all the episodes I've heard so far are great. But I also pick and choose what guests I want to listen to.

haha right? Just started rifling off time stamps

But judging by the IG posts a while back it looks like both Curtain and Reid which is sick

Thanks for the time stamps Kulla

[straight fucking edge]

it literally says “00:00 Brian Reid & Jack Curtin” in the post you both quoted

oh I know, but the dude i am responding to may have taken that as a group of people talking about Brian Reid and Jack Curtain

best not to assume, but be helpful I reckon

I wanna see a Jeffwon episode.

They hate me over there haha also I would have next to nothing to contribute towards the financial questions on the show which seems to be the recurring theme.

Maybe if you wouldn’t have complained about not being on the show, you might have got invited. But I’m sure at this point you burned that bridge.

How tf do you get on the nine club’s bad side. They let an actual nazi come on the show

[Ty Evans Lightman]

I’ve noticed Chris is far less submissive to critics these days. He likes to fire off at people fucking with his live chat. I can imagine if you’re on his naughty list, you ain’t getting off it any time soon.

[Lucky_Basek]

Chris Roberts please stop saying “everything happens for a reason”.

Everything does not.

Most things happen for no reason, or at least no reason that sits within either causal logic (this led to that) or / and something happened because of a predetermined outcome (‘starting your own brand was always going to work’ is easy to say when the brand has worked).

“Everything happens for a reason” is very insulting to the majority of the world who live daily with hardships that are no fault of their own.

Mass shootings, having your neighbourhood bombed, drowning at sea while trying to seek asylum, sexual violence, genocide, hunger, terminal illness, genetic disease, stray bullets, mass layoffs, foreclosure… etc.

The problem is, podcast hosts only say “everything happens for a reason” to describe an upturn in fortunes.

What Roberts means to say is, “good things can come out of bad situations”.

Or like resident human-centric host Kelly Hart likes to say: “it was a blessing in disguise”.

So sick that Brian is into anime. Like I didnt like this dude enough.

[shredflanders]

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

I've been lurking here for a few years, but had to reply to this.

From Henry Sanchez Nine Club, starting at 3m15s; Dubz' hella word count just to ask, "What was skating in the early days at EMB like?"

"Skateboarding’s come so far, since then, obviously and a lot of tricks that we probably were like “nah shit ain’t gonna never be done” are being done now. You know? Um. But what made, what for you, in a sense of like how EMB was… just… transpiring to what it was, like, being that you’re probably one of the guys, when it was first kind of like, you know, on the undertaking of being like, what it was. How was that and how did that come about? You know what I mean? Of you just skating there? You know what I mean? Like…."

It hurt my brain just listening to it.

[pizzafliptofakie]

Sometimes Jeron startles me cuz he'll be dead silent for like 20 minutes and then suddenly just repeat something the guest said but in a weird raspy voice.

It's unfortunate for sure but it's not exactly absurd look at the WWE. All the shit your saying people have been saying about that industry for decades and the shits never happening. If a billion dollar sports entertainment company can find away around insuring there athletes and paying them a decent/consistent wage, there ain't a fucking chance that shit is ever coming to skateboarding. Wether they backed by a union or not. Too many snakes in the money side of skateboarding for that ever to happen.

gonna have to watch the live show because they’re discussing the Rocco reemergence. Preparing for Chris to act like it’s gonna be a huge industry shakeup, Jeron to leave it open ended but he’s excited to see what happens, and Kelly to be extremely neutral because of his industry allegiance but also to laugh and remark about how “Rocco did some crazy stuff dude”

i don’t even have to watch it anymore because that’s exactly how it’s gonna go
