The show that has skaters talking

Right now most of us find ourselves with a lot of free time while being in quarantine, and you may be looking for something new to pass the time. If you like podcasts then I have one you should try out! It’s The Nine Club with Chris Roberts. This podcast features professional skaters Chris Roberts, Kelly Hart, and skate videographer Roger Bagley. Each week they host a podcast with people from the skateboarding world. However, they cover many topics and give skateboarders a platform to talk about their personal lives and interests outside of the skateboarding world.

Beyond a weekly podcast, they do special episodes of The Nine Club where they watch and review skate films and video parts from various skaters from around the world. Occosainlly they will also review skateboard decks, parts, and accessories. I think these videos are great because they showcase lesser-known skaters and brands.

Some of the guests that have come on the show are Tony Hawk, Bam Margera, Andrew Reynolds, Chad Muska, and even Lil Wayne! Each bringing unique and interesting stories to share with listeners. So if you are bored at home right now, and you want to listen to the show that has skaters talking then look no further, The Nine Club is the podcast for you.

Due to the current COVID-19 Pandemic, people are staying inside, isolating themselves from the rest of the world. This creates a unique situation for skateboarders everywhere. As the city streets across the world become barren, skateboarders are taking advantage of these empty streets.

Recently I had the opportunity to skateboard in Boston. The streets are always busy, and cops are on the lookout for skateboarders constantly. It was surreal to skate the streets of Boston, it felt like a ghost town. Skateboarders everywhere are experiencing this same feeling right now. The streets are like a blank canvas and the skateboard is a paintbrush, and no longer do skaters have to fear people or the police stopping them from enjoying their hobby.

However, it is important to keep in mind that we are in the middle of a Public health crisis, and going outside contributes to the spread of the disease. I will no longer be going out in public to skateboard, but I know many skateboarders will continue to skate the empty city streets for as long as they can. This is a unique opportunity for many skateboarders out there to skate spots that could previously never be used. It will be interesting to see videos in the coming weeks of people skating in cities like New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and all the cool new spots people have discovered during this pandemic.

This whole pandemic is a difficult situation for everyone, and many people will be affected. However, I think it is important to find the silver linings during times like these. If you have a hobby or a craft that you enjoy now is the time to practice because we may never have a situation like this again in our lifetimes.

There are many pro skaters in the world, each with their own unique style. However, no one can compare to the intense style of Chad Muska. If you like intense skateboarding then I highly recommend watching some of Chad Muska’s videos. He is known for grinding long railings, gapping staircases, and all-around intense skateboarding tricks.

Chad Muska wasn’t always a skateboarder, during his younger years he was heavily involved with BMX, and it was a passion of his. Chad moved around a lot as a child, and when he moved to a new town he saw kids skateboarding and instantly wanted to try it out for himself. As he got older he became more involved with skateboarding and ditched his BMX bike. Around this time Chad also became heavily involved in the graffiti scene. This mix of skateboarding and graffiti shaped Chad into the person he is today. He is well known in the skateboarding community not only as a great skateboarder but as a brilliant artist.

Chad Muska has been sponsored by numerous skate brands but most notably for Shortys and Element. His unique riding style and personality helped grow his brand, and his notoriety helped these companies sell thousands of skateboards. Chad has also been sponsored by éS a skate shoe company and is currently sponsored by Supra another big name skate shoe company. Through skateboarding, Chad Muksa became a wealthy man.

As years went on Chad Muska began to get hurt a lot more frequently. He suffered broken ankles, and on one occasion hurt his back while attempting a trick. Eventually, Chad had to take a break from skateboarding due to his health. This gave him more time to focus on the business end of skateboarding and his artwork.

Chad Muska is an amazing skateboarder, he is one of my favorites and for good reason. He has a unique style and a great personality. However, his achievements arent limited to skateboarding. He is a wonderful artist and businessman. Chad Muska’s story shows us that skateboarders shouldn’t be put in boxes, because every skateboarder has passions and skills outside of the skateboarding world.

Recently I watched a movie called Mid 90s by Jonah Hill. This is a coming of age story about a 14-year-old boy nicknamed Sunburn. Sunburn had a rough family life, and in turn, hangs out with the local skate crowd to escape his home life and make friends. After Sunburn gets involved with this skate crew he learns how to skateboard, he experiences many life-changing events and faces the real world as a young teen.

I want to discuss the film, the skateboarding aspect, and my personal thoughts on the film. This movie focuses heavily on skateboarding and skate culture in the mid to late 1990s. The movie was shot on film, it has a 4:3 aspect ratio, and features real products from the 1990s. The movie does a great job world-building, it really feels like it takes place in the 1990s. The language, set pieces, and music are all from the 1990s and it really helps with the immersion. The skateboarding in the film was really cool and I liked the way Jonah Hill incorporated it into the film. Real skateboarders were performing tricks on camera, and its amazing to watch in the movie. There are many skateboard brands featured throughout the film and even some references to famous skateboarders. Also throughout the film, the skate crew visits some pretty famous skate spots in Southern California like the Los Angeles courthouse. This movie is touching, emotional, and artistic in nature. I think it is an interesting piece about entering into adulthood, growing up without a father figure, and skateboarding in the 1990s.

If you are a skateboarder or grew up in the 1990s then this movie will make you nostalgic for your childhood. Even if you don’t skate or you weren’t even around for the 1990s this movie is a great watch. It is available on Amazon Prime Video. I give this movie 4.5/5 because of its artistic vision, storytelling, and its attention to detail. As someone who skates you can tell Jonah Hill did his research before directing this film.
