    So rad! Filming and editing Eric's Speed Freaks part was an amazing experience. Crazy how much we produced in just two days of filming. So many stories, Venice was wild back then. I filmed Tom Knox's part in one full day but definitely not in two hours LOL. Great content, thank you.

    Yo, Eric! If you see this! I remember meeting you at the DIY spot under the bridge in Alvik, Stockholm last summer. I skated by myself and you rolled up with a crew, and I just wanted to shout out how cool it all was. It seemed like you really went out of your way to make me feel apart and talked to me and said whats up. What Im saying is just that this guy is super humble and cool. Dude didnt have to talk to me, but he did cuz hes hella tight. Blessings from Sweden

    OG for real, The Nine Club killing it again. Another sleepless night sacrificed to the Skate Gods, happily. Shout-out Greensboro NC Heathen Crew

    • @JohnSmith-oo4qx
      @JohnSmith-oo4qx 5 років тому +3

      Just to let the NC heads know, Heathen Army decks are coming soon. A Greensboro NC brand, ran by locals for the NC skaters. We are gonna keep it core and have no interest in crossing state lines. Everywhere else already has a scene and we feel it's time to start staying in kakkalak and building upon our own scene. We feel it's time to put NC back on the map just like the 90's East Coast invasion that gave Mark Johnson and Mike Sinclair the exposure needed to put the focus on what was going on over on our side of the country. Trying to be ready to launch before winter if all goes well , will keep you guys informed and wish us luck. Thanks from the Greensboro NC Heathen Crew, may your slams be few and your tricks stuck with steeze.

      Mitchell Loy If you keep in touch I will shoot you a deck outta the first shipment we get in. If you like what we're about then support our cause and the more you rep us the more we'll hook you up. I live in Julian at the moment so I'm right down the street from you. Ride thru one day and we can hit up one of the parks or a street spot or three. Seriously bro, we plan on growing this scene and creating something to be proud of. Heathen Crew coming thru stay true to you.

    Eric is so cool. I used to hang out at Will Rise tattoo shop over on fairfax with him and he was so humble and nice. You would never know you were in the presence of a legendary skateboarder unless you were a skater yourself. I regret not having him tattoo me at that time.

    I had a messed up knee for 2 months and nothing helped. I went to Dr. Bowser, the chiropractor he was speaking about and its back to normal now. Miracle worker!

  • @pablosmith5473
    @pablosmith5473 5 років тому +3

    When a skater is talking about not the early 2000's, not the 90's, not even the 80's but the 70's... Man you know he's the real deal and a true pioneer. And you gotta respect that!

    YES! A awesome chat with the HUMBLE LEGEND! My first board was an Eric Dressen mini with Indys and OJ wheels in 1989...what a perfect board for me at 12 yrs old. Still skating today...30 yrs this coming spring! You were a huge inspiration for style and speed!

    @nathan1eldan1el 5 років тому +3

    30 years ago I went to a contest. I saw a lot of good skating there. One thing stuck out in my mind. At the end his run after the time Eric pushes Mach 10 to this parking block and slappy 50-50ed it all the way across. I'm not talking a nicely waxed block. It was loud. I couldn't believe what I just saw. This explained all of the Detroi Lions hats I wore. Although I couldn't name one player on the team...

    Like many things in life you never forget your first. Santa Cruz Troops of Tomorrow was my first favorite video.Eric Dressen was my first favorite skateboarder. I’ve rode for thirty years, get worse every day, but love it just as much as when I started. When Eric D told CRob he was proud of him, pretty rad stuff.This episode brought an onslaught of great memories. Thanks Nine Club.

    Thanks Nine Club I've been hoping you would get Eric on. He is simply Legendary. My first board back in the day growing up in London was a Dressen Dogtown Mini a lot of steep hill bombs and power slides Speed freaks style. THANKS

  • @petaccj
    @petaccj 5 років тому +6

    I know a Cory Kennedy episode isn’t realistic, but as a part of Crailtap and the amount of people that you’ve had on here also involved in Crailtap, the CK topic avoiding is understandable but would be interesting to hear you touch on. At least as much as plausible I suppose.

  • @ericcampbell6344
    @ericcampbell6344 Рік тому +1

    I saw Dressen in '89 just destroy the small bowl at the Turf skatepark in Milwaukee. Absolutely destroyed it. It was the first time I ever witnessed a street skater-with so much steezy style-skate transition so well. Always one of my favorite styles and such a chill, cool and humble dude. Great episode!

    This episode was so good. I have always been an Eric Dressen fan. Such a humble and mellow dude. Great work on this one guys! Roger, I too was so stoked on the first Savannah Slamma contest video. My friends and I would watch that and get so pumped to skate. Eric's run with the crail grab wallride. I learned those from watching his run over and over. So rad.
