Hey Madars I just wanted to say that as a skateboarder/snowboarder for almost 25 years, I have to say what you are doing with Skate Tales is hands down the raddest thing happening in the industry. Much love from Montana, if you ever find yourself up this way holler and come ride/skate!
This guy is a local legend. He is doing so much to support skating community in Latvia and all around. Really nice to everyone and extremely creative on the board. I remember meeting him for the first time almost 20 years ago and he was the kid everyone was talking about already. Certainly stood out of the crowd, because he was level higher then everyone else at that time in Latvia and its great to see him succeed while doing things which he loves.
What an absolutely incredible episode. So much respect to the Nine Club for putting this episode together and showing the world more of how amazing of a person Madars is, the dude is a walking local legend to THE WORLD. So much respect to him for showing up for his Country and just every destination he visits with so much willingness to learn. Absolutely incredible.
I'm the dude that started that university skate team he mentioned. He was a student with us a couple of years before i worked there but we sent him a tshirt from the skate team and he rocked it. Very nice chap!
4th knee surgery got me jobless and prob done with skating. Full knee replacement this time. That’s why I can watch the nine club 10 minutes after it comes out. Love the show.
Feel for you.. I’m on my 4th knee surgery. Thankfully it hasn’t gone in 8 years now. After I went on strength and conditioning with a 7 month steroid plan.
I had 3 at 25, work in construction. Skateboarding and I had a divorce. Not something spoken of much in the industry, but sad and common. Once I had kids, no way I’m doing what I want on a board ever again. Watch out kids, it’ll happen to you.
Thank you NineClub for getting this guy on! It is really hard to go skate the streets in Latvia and all the baltic states you got to respect that! This guy is a great human being!
This dude is super cool. I feel like he always has such a good attitude, and he totally rips on a skateboard. Perfect skate ambassador! At the same time I imagine it's hard always being on the move, traveling here and there, away from your family and friends, not everyone is good at living out of a backpack.
Great to finally see you at the Nine Club Madars! I have been waiting a while for this one. From the first time I saw you compete at Simple Session I could tell that you have the most fun on a skateboarder. Later down the years when you came to kick it with us in Estonia I also learned that you are the nicest guy. I've now picked up a board again over 15 years because started watching the Nine Club and got inspired listening everyone's stories. Even more stoked to see you on! Respect and love to you and all the stuff you are doing for skateboarding at the Baltics and all over the world.
I really like this dude, he seems like a down-to-earth, "no bullshit", easy-going guy. I already loved "It's a Mad World", but the way he tells stories is super sympathetic too.
Top Man. Met him in Dubai. He was super friendly and very very good at skateboarding. Only had one small DC T Shirt left but I still wore it. He was shocked I got it on haha..
Admirable skateboarder, I dig how he knows English and American culture but is so immersed in worldwide communities Europe and beyond, doing good work, giving good looks for skateboarders…wild I used to laugh at this guy because I thought he was like this jester like character with the handstands (not knowing much about him prior to Kotr) but it’s really dope how he’s impacted the world in many different ways, all positively and he rips, I love that shit.
Great episode. I used to regularly sleepwalk as a kid. One of my reoccurring walks was me…walking downstairs to (what I thought) was the bathroom…and I would actually be in my parent’s room. I would see myself in the bathroom and see the toilet but in reality I was peeing right next to their bed. I think the reason you are not supposed to wake a sleepwalking person is cos it frightens the sh*t out of’em!!! From my personal experience, you see everything you are doing as if you are awake (but your eyes are closed). So everything feels super real. To be woken up mid-sleepwalk jolts you into a new reality. My folks never meant to but sometimes they freaked out if I was peeing next to them. To see yourself peeing in a toilet…and then flash into a new spot would give me near heart attacks at about the age of 12 😆 Skate or die!
I remember first seeing him in some ancient homie video out of Latvia I think, it was back when everyone was just sharing skate videos on mIRC and limewire. I just remember he was skating to Revolution by The Beatles and the part was sick, can't find it anywhere now though which kinda sucks
It was my first podcast I listen form 9 club or whatever name is. And it made me laugh so much couple times!! I am rollerblades form Latvia 🇱🇻 and I know Madara! He is cool guys and that’s was awesome 2h of listening the story of his! I felt moon walking story soo much cuz I am moonwalking tooo hahaha 🤣 awesome guys, keep doing what you do!
Trugs! You and I were a couple of the mike mo nft winners, congrats! Have you received an email from him yet? I haven’t heard anything.. just wondering.
In 2008 I got sponsored by my college for bull riding, was pro in my late teens and early 20s. Got a full scholarship minus books, and cash traveling money every week before Id tour on the weekend (usually around $500 and often was used for beer). They also excused me from classes when I was traveling to rodeos out of state.
Matars is a genuine nice dude, he reminds me so much of my local shop owner JP (rip Sunday) tall ass blonde dude with mad pop and nice as can be, people can learn from this
There are a lot of stuff (videos, articles, etc), but they are in Russian language... Thrasher mag. did a trip to the USSR back in 1989, and they released an article about it, so that's a good start. There's also a Soviet TV report from a 1991 Soviet skate contest: ua-cam.com/video/OJ1vo0b8fOQ/v-deo.html
1:37:27 "Rise Up" by Element Europe was one of my favourite videos back then. It was better than the American video ("Elementality Volume 1"). No hate, just stating obvious facts…
He's talking about travelling around Europe for skating school and everything like it ain't no thing! Regarding Jetlag, you can go on a special diet a week before your trip to reset you circadian rhythm, its not too hard and theoretically proven to work.
I’ve never talked in some demonic language while sleeping but I’ve been told there was multiple instances where I was asleep and I was screaming and yelling from multiple people.
THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME!! LOVE!
You are so sick dude 🔥 I watch all your content it’s so sick 🤘
I watch your show with my kids and they think it’s awesome to see you traveling and spreading stoke.

Damn, I miss King of the Road! He was so much fun to watch on there. Can’t ever get enough Madars!
Madars is a local for me, can’t describe how much of a good person he is! We love you here in Ventspils
after having a very low point in life this weekend, watching the Monday episode is such a relief.🧡 MUCH LOVE EVERYONE!
Hey man just remember your friends and family love you and all us old buddies are always here !!!! MUCH LOVE FROM SOUTH AFRICA ❤️🇿🇦🛹🤘🏻
Stay up G ✌️
What happen?

My knees are pretty done and I hobble around yet I'm proud I got to skate and skate well in this life.
Thank you NineClub for getting this guy on! It is really hard to go skate the streets in Latvia and all the baltic states you got to respect that! This guy is a great human being!
This man is hilarious and his show is so dope. Instant fan
Great show! So much positive vibes all the way through, Madars is the man)
Such a humble guy! A pleasure to watch and listen to.
Madras is such a funny dude with amazing energy. We have had some amazing episodes to listen/watch lately. Thank you!

Madars is a super rad dude! I loved the Skate Tales series he did for Red Bull - all about spreading the skate love!
dude i love Madars and skate tales! I seriously wish the episode was longer.
Madars is so loveable, cant help but smile whenever i see him skate or talk 😎
Episode 225 + 193 Experience + 82 Stop & Chats = 5 0 0 !!!
🍻
i cant wait tell they get to 900th episode
@@masonmcconnell9375 Tony's gonna come back and hit 'em with a bionic leg 900
The only thing that is better than a great skater is a great skater with a great personality! Madars is such a intriguing dude!
I seriously love this dude! One of my favorites so far 💚
love what this dude does for the red bull channel. spreading love and community
great episode!! thank you again, this guy is really something special!!
Best dude. Great skater and a great spokesman for the sport.
I really like this dude, he seems like a down-to-earth, "no bullshit", easy-going guy. I already loved "It's a Mad World", but the way he tells stories is super sympathetic too.
Madars!! This dude is the handstand skateboard GOD!! No one compares!
@Daniel Hollingsworth 🔥🔥👍
Big Ups and Huge Respect to him, Way Rad he went and skated with the SanCarlos Apache crew, they are amazing. Greatness all around. ❤️🔥
Top Man. Met him in Dubai. He was super friendly and very very good at skateboarding. Only had one small DC T Shirt left but I still wore it. He was shocked I got it on haha..

Мадарс - легенда! Круто видеть его здесь 🔥 интересный выпуск!
Very entertaining, big fan of Madarse and the nine club
That Jahmir Brown shirt is next level

Mad love to Madars from here in Estonia !!!
I remember first seeing him in some ancient homie video out of Latvia I think, it was back when everyone was just sharing skate videos on mIRC and limewire. I just remember he was skating to Revolution by The Beatles and the part was sick, can't find it anywhere now though which kinda sucks
"All of two parts"
"Just kidding"
😂😂
love this dude style thanks for this one nine club gonna enjoy it awesome work you guys do for the skateboard world.
It was my first podcast I listen form 9 club or whatever name is. And it made me laugh so much couple times!! I am rollerblades form Latvia 🇱🇻 and I know Madara! He is cool guys and that’s was awesome 2h of listening the story of his! I felt moon walking story soo much cuz I am moonwalking tooo hahaha 🤣 awesome guys, keep doing what you do!
10/10 episode 🤙
The best dude right here everyone leaves Element and he stays love this guy haha
Chris needs to do more of his Madars impression 🤣
I highly suggest just starting the book. Top Of Mason is such a vibe it is unlike any book I’ve ever read. It feels like how skaters talk.
Your friend gives a copy of a book he's written and you don't even read it. That's a real hate for reading right there.
Wow, nice!!!! I hope he comes to Lisbon!! I'm from here and planning to open an indoor skatepark soon and he will skate there one day :-)
great episode, Madars is so awesome, in and out!
The hype on the old puzzle commercials was something we can all relate to.
The German company is a Belgium skate organisation, but thanks for the mention Madars😄 BIG Love ❤️
Great episode. We want Willy Santos!
skaters supporting skaters is what it is all about
I never really owned skate videos but I got an element dvd at the element store in Orlando, I think future native, been a fan ever since
Always amazing Madars
Finally! Good choice! Cant wait for the stop n chat already!!! Where they been at?!?
LG 🔥🍻 Madars seems like such a cool dude I'm excited for this one
Trugs! You and I were a couple of the mike mo nft winners, congrats! Have you received an email from him yet? I haven’t heard anything.. just wondering.
@@Bryan-kl5rr duuuude I actually haven't haha I've been checking my email every day too lol
I got the email from Crob but not Mike Mo yet

Love the guest from other countries who we don’t hear much about.
57:25 cut out a chunk? The story kinda just jumped to his second skateboard?
Love Madars! Can't believe they didn't mention Ukraine or talk more about his crazy handstands.
This guy has a serious Kevin McDonald from Kids In The Hall vibe.
Great episode! Y’all should have kept it going. Maddars was down :)
I never heard of this dude, but hes got a great attitude
this made smile all the way.
Was waiting for this one!!
Great guest ty 9 club
great episode as always dudes
Remember this guy from a King of the road and he was hilarious.
I met Madars at the Element Pride video in New York love Skate tails
Nice... John cardiel next.
Somebody needs to do a history of skateboarding during the Soviet era, that's a killer documentary idea
There are a lot of stuff (videos, articles, etc), but they are in Russian language...
Thrasher mag. did a trip to the USSR back in 1989, and they released an article about it, so that's a good start.
There's also a Soviet TV report from a 1991 Soviet skate contest: ua-cam.com/video/OJ1vo0b8fOQ/v-deo.html
There is an awesome one about skating i DDR.
Favourite accent so far
such good vibes there!!
We need 9club on Mystic sk8 cup! 24. - 26. 6. 2022 🔥
1:37:27 "Rise Up" by Element Europe was one of my favourite videos back then. It was better than the American video ("Elementality Volume 1"). No hate, just stating obvious facts…
such a good episode madars rules.
Dude Kelly low key has more spot knowledge than any pro skater I’ve listened to. Which is hundreds, the dudes kinda like a spot encyclopedia haha
Shout out to Arizona skaters let’s go!! 520🌵🌵🌵
Wow. Ask a dude how he balances skating with education and he tells you he financed his education with skating. Damn! Badass!
Welcome to the states!🤘
Madars my beloved
A great idea for a SkateTales would be Amman, Jordan. Link up with 7Hills Skatepark, they give skate lessons to refugees of multiple countries🙏
Can we get a Larry cameo (cameow) appearance on the show? Prrretty please?
He's talking about travelling around Europe for skating school and everything like it ain't no thing!
Regarding Jetlag, you can go on a special diet a week before your trip to reset you circadian rhythm, its not too hard and theoretically proven to work.
Porzingus used to skate! My words collide
Amazing videos bro the Kurt cobain of skateboarding
I've been skating nocap 40 + years and the first trick I ever learned what is the flight upgrade get some I'm running that s***
College sponsorship? LEGENDARY
Great skater
Where was the famous Chris impersonation of Madars?
I’ve never talked in some demonic language while sleeping but I’ve been told there was multiple instances where I was asleep and I was screaming and yelling from multiple people.
if you break the surface tension of the lake by letting a couple of sleepwalkers pee into it you raise your bungee survival quote even more
Random but where is Ryan bobier and rufe clifberg these days?
My younger brother peed in the vegetable drawer of the fridge when he was sleepwalking, he was like 8 at the time
Bombing hills is the shit!
the Connan Mockasin of skateboarding
became a fan of this dude from kotr but he still rips!
Some cats are insane… facts!!! 😂
Super funny episode
To good :))
I'd really like to see Donger on here. Kien Lieu.
