[@NevadaSmith2]

Man. Na-kel is super likable, and seems very appreciative of his situation. Homie definitely has a bright future ahead of him.

[@bradensmith661]

Never formally met Nak, but I was at a Earl show in philly, & he jumped off the stage & ended up falling on the ground. I reached out and helped him up and we dapped and just started moshin. Shit was crazy. Talking about impressions.

[@dankprofessor4925]

Did everyone clap

[@Kennyjackson47]

If it was the some rap songs tour I was there lmao

[@thomasrj7390]

I met nak and Mikey alfted when I was like 9 and he was filming for something for IC, and he was in New York, and he was trying this 3 shuv I think (don’t really remember I was nine lmao) and I told Mikey in my little nine year old voice “you guys are really cool” and he was filming and he just shushed me and pointed to nak and said “nakel smith, illegal civ.” And that is why I’m skatin today

[@pchspchs]

@@thomasrj7390 that is godlike from mikey lmfaooo

[@Ghastly8P]

@@thomasrj7390 that’s dope as hell

[@FirstMatterCreative]

Na-Kel is a humble dude never really got to see him talk much.

[@therestingmitchface6241]

"Wet ass treflip!"
Hahahahahaha I love Na Kel

[@Justgoneforsometime]

9 club.
Definition: A talk show that is responsible for making Monday's the best day of the week 🤙🏼

[@rubenmontes_]

Cool episode. Nakel seems real chill and down to earth. All three of you guys add something good to the show. Kelly with the nerdy skating questions roger with the on point history, and Chris with the laid back attitude that guides the show

[@Patch_616]

Na-Kel’s a special kid man. I feel like anyone would want him involved in their project just based on his outlook alone.

[@tysonrinker5958]

This episode is going to blow up once mid90s comes out

[@di3gogalindo]

honestly

[@Unstable_Luis]

they're not that bad tbh but you gotta understand it from their point of view

[@mikemendoza5421]

Get more FA riders on here that'd be tight like sage,dill, ave, sean, Ben, and like strobeck

[@tonyvolume666]

Raisin Bran the Bill Strobeck episode is up now!!! Good one too!

[@GASM0N]

Tyler the Creator on 9 club would be interesting. He never gets interviewed about skating.

[@irieeyes12]

that would be rad, and hopsin would be cool too

[@samuelfrederick6680]

irieeyes12 fuck hopsin

[@irieeyes12]

samuel frederick lol

[@Astra_Dystopium]

What did hopsin do?

[@irieeyes12]

matty Midwest nothing, hopsins cool and he's a good skater

[@davidday9967]

I think it's super respectful of the nine club to introduce little elements of the paid show like the calling into our normal Monday episodes. Little additions like that are sick. I hope the show stays fun for you guys(and profitable) and continues a long time. I'm starting to enjoy Mondays again 🤘🤘

[@skatetapes12]

He's right about the whole figuring out what to do. I suck at skating but I knew I could probably ollie this hydrant so I asked a professional skate photographer to shoot it (if he'd want to). He actually replied and said no, but still, he responded and that showed me that if I did get the photo and kept working I could get it done. It's all about keep trying, keep asking eventually it happens. If you're actually really good at skating you will get there, it's based on achievement. Music for instance, way more subjective. In skating you either land the trick or not.

[@andreavila2658]

Skate tapes 12 Facts bro

[@diegotulip5640]

Did u ever get the photo

[@darylrock9256]

“The universe don’t joke.”

[@BroWithBigHeart]

Hell yeah I love this show. Would love to see Brian Anderson or Jerry Hsu!

[@mantistoboggan828]

Chris Jerry Hsu please!

[@fox.e.y.e]

jerry hsu would be so sick

[@adriandominguez3108]

Get Sean Pablo in there

[@joe16k62]

this

[@ssri728]

That would be 🔥

[@driftinghighenough6429]

rip

[@majesticuncasual186]

I absolutely loved this episode. I love them all but man from an the 1 hr 3 to the end was just what I needed to hear. Struggling with addictions and life, I'm stoked to be reminded of my strengths and what I need to be doing. Thanks TheNineClub every week and Na-kel for the positive/ powerful message. Stoked on everyone!

[@bleezvibez5248]

If more humans had the mind and personality of Nak , the worldwould be dope af

[@killzone2FTw547]

On the real

[@kasper5688]

Joe Johnson huh?

[@man.6618]

@Joe Johnson *criticizes how someone else talks but also uses the wrong "there"* smh 😤😤

[@sooperdope]

Yesssss favorite pro skater on the nine club, stoked for Nak.

[@jakegetscake4672]

Supreme has the best crew hands down all they need is better store employees lol

[@pchspchs]

this is facts lmfaoo

[@Neurotv4941]

I heard supreme store employees are total dicks

[@willwillwill666]

Went to the store in sf most of the employees were from gx1000 they were chill

[@sir.wizacaca7945]

We still need dill on the nine club stop ignoring me CROB&ROG!!

[@slashcomic]

Sir. Wizacaca Plsss gett Dill, the man's fucking insane

[@MFSHECKS]

[@supakoolkris]

[@trqrider94]

Kristaps Jansons god bless

[@macnguyen2431]

@TheNineClub YOOOOOOO! EXCELLENT CHOICE! Na-Kel is SO SMART and thank you for having them on! I really hope all of the skateboard generations take something away from your words & Na-Kels words. THANK YOU!

[@muminsaleh4314]

Yo PLEASE get sage on here!

[@ncr3299]

There is a sage on here and his name is Chris

[@Truantlimited]

Nak is fucking awesome. I met him at an IC event. He looked busy at the time but he heard me say his name so he turned around and took the time to say wassup. Such a leveled individual

[@OGecalien]

This dude is becoming one of my favorite human beings all together. Good person.

[@Patrick-sf8yc]

Very cool, down to earth, and thoughtful dude. His character in Mid 90's is basically him.

[@SouljaboyRitualSODMG]

Get Tyshawn Jones on here.

[@user-kahsnani]

waiting still.

[@santiagorestrepo2717]

Mans is such a beast can’t wait to have him on here

[@markspondask]

Jason Dill episode is a must!

[@clibreros94]

Baker 3 was my first video too!! So iconic, must’ve seen it a million times. TK and ADs part burned in my head

[@SuaSponte75]

humble kid right here

[@Tristan-hu8tl]

favorite guest ever I once went to a school I didn't go to for a whole day sketchy..

[@trapthemfl2325]

Love at the end how my man just grabs the starburst and dips

[@Redaura10]

Never thought I'd see my favorite skater on here 👊🏼 respect nine club

[@RuthlessMarauder]

For what it's worth, best 9 club. Na-kel has serious knowledge. Listen!

[@ncr3299]

I click like before "with Chris Roberts" even comes up. Because this show is always good. Thanks guys

[@jjb.6152]

just have to say the editing on each of these is fucking amazing... great one today, as always. Na-Kel is THE MAN..

[@alexrodriquez1112]

[@adrianmilchev6252]

Up all night waiting on the "Well...."

[@benivey1033]

Ayy they got the Hot Ones hot sauce up on the shelf, that's awesome haha

[@VLSkate]

that Booze Brothers Good Guy deck is sick! was just there yesterday

[@Ghastly8P]

@Jayce Johan bruh

[@kareeman-nas482]

super humble, wise intelligent good spirited brother. in my opinion, he demonstrates a true pro because of his character, not just his talent

[@zeddfish]

Austyn Gillette fellas, that would be tight. Keep 'em coming!

[@Knowles860]

I met theibaud at the first roll for rob back in the day and he gave me a shirt because I was wearing a real hoodie. He was talking to my buddy who owns a shop in Connecticut and he saw me standing next to him and was so hyped on my hoodie. I’ll never forget that moment and how genuine that dude is. “Listen to tommy Guerrero” on the front “don’t listen to mic e Reyes” on the back

[@experimentations2132]

Na-Kel truly is one of the greatest of all time. Always doing what others kent.

[@tyhoops365]

This guy is so genuine man. Much respect.

[@claysoggyfries]

I fell asleep during this and woke up to the fucking outro song 😂

[@Kassgocrazy]

I got so hype when I saw this on my feed

[@towelie1706]

That's the melody to funky town.

[@deberleoffice]

Like 5-10 years from now, switch flip manuals will just be known as Crobs. "Yo man, can you do Crobs? I just learned to Crob"

[@sliderx1897]

Real talk

[@sliderx1897]

Why dont we just start calling em that now

[@bryann3389]

Hey yo Crob! That nollie heel over the barrier in the Chocolate tour was dope!

[@stevenhayden4060]

Did you know Chris Roberts did a switch flip manny?

[@gussanchez47]

such a good guy, wish more skaters were like him

[@MrBangen2012]

Super sick skater. So clean, his supreme parts are golden 👌🏾

[@Ladera1017]
