Shout out to Shane for creating his own outlet and putting on kids who would otherwise be stuck in the "flow team" trap and not get the recognition they deserve. Too common in skateboarding
You're right. I remember Tom Asta was in that flow spot for what seemed like a decade. Lot of guys have been flow for years and years. Some guys are hyped about it, but others are trying to do it big and they won't let it happen.
@@MIKE2111ful Josh Kalis said it best. "What happens when you've been flow 7 years and you've done nothing about it? No parts? Nothing? Then surprised when there's budget cuts?"
April is the first board I’ve ever picked up. Started skating at 26 and my buddy told me the significance of this brand and it’s only made it that much more special to me.
I grew out of the Berrics too. A lot of people have. It’s not even skateboarding anymore. Shit they are doing show and movie reviews like what the fuck. Niggas gotta eat I guess
Baylen Miller Berra and koston are unfortunately both scientologists. Berra being an extremely weird, sorta psycho example of one. Message berra on IG about it, he’ll actually debate you on the legitimacy of that bat shit crazy cult. Koston is much more quiet about his involvement.
Shane isn’t just a skateboarder or a businessman. He’s an advocate. Skateboarding today is like universities. Everyone’s smart, everyone has a 4.0, what else you got? Better have a cool story, cool style, and awesome character.
This is the evolution of the skateboard industry. Shane O'Neill helping the skateboard industry to be at great standard. Helping each other is the way to go.
Shane’s loyalty to his friends is commendable. Business is messy, but it really seems like what drives him is relationships and friends, which is rare.
Shane has the most memorable berrics clip for me. When he came to the park for the "new years resolution" part. It really made me reimagine what was possible in precision on a skateboard.
Brick Shane has been in a decent number of interviews over the years. After searching “Shane O’Neill Interview” on UA-cam I found interviews for RIDE Channel, CCS, Route One (U.K. skate shop), Crailtap, and a few others. The search took less than 30 seconds.
So much respect for Shane. It feels like companies have been shifting towards putting on lesser-known guys who rip, and Shane is at the forefront of that movement. Also, it would be easy for someone in Shane's position to be a huge skate jock, but I've never gotten that sense at all from him. To me it also says a lot that he often goes out of his way to personally reply to all the comments on his instagram, instead of just liking them all, which is completely meaningless.
Dylan Wagner for his very first more intimate interview, you can tell his brain works faster than others, like Rodney Mullen. Shane is completely humble, like Mullen, and he's transforming skating, just like Mullen.
This dude is so chill. I met him at a Starbucks I was working at. I was working drive thru, looked over to cafe and there he was ordering coffee. He looks a lot slimmer in person haha but I was so schocked I left my drive thru position just to say hi to him, sadly couldn’t get a picture it was so busy ;/
If I believe anyone to start a board company to help out certain skaters, to promote them, and giving them an opportunity, instead of "just making some extra money" (maybe even by ripping them of and sht...) - it is Shane O'Neill...
You guys gotta get Josiah Gatlyn on the podcast. Dude was absolutely insane on a skateboard and ultimately had to step away because the industry did him dirty. Very interesting story and would be a super solid guest
Shane O'Neil you are the Dali Lama of skateboarding. Observation, Execution, Experience, Opertunity, love and after watching this i now know why you have the style and flow you do when you skate... It's because you are a deadset fucking top bloke whom truly cares about others and wants to help make a difference and bring freedom to others whom have the passion
Hector It’s like the introduction to a company. They think you’re good and like you so they send you stuff. The idea is if things work out you might become an am on the team, etc. That’s the *idea* anyway.
@thenineclub what do you guys think of highlighting certain topics within the same podcast???, almost like timestamping chapters, except you'd be marking major topics of interest, I think that would help grow the channel by having skaters who want to watch certain topics but not necessarily the whole podcast, could lead to people watching different shows they might not have originally watched.
Imagine how many skaters could have reached the next level if they had a company owner like Shane , this guy has the intellect to run a company properly.
im glad he grabbed the people he did. dude's being stuck on flow or just being shelved for no reason sucks. i couldn't even remember who Ish cepeda was riding for at one point, but now he's making new moves and its great.
Makes sense, but its gotta be hard running a company and trying to make everyone happy. You would almost have to keep your team small to pay everyone fairly unless your brand blows up
Shane doesn't fuck around he seems like a very serious dude. Not in a bad way he just knows his shit that's why April Skateboards is going to make it and be huge
I have to say, I always thought he was conceded because he didn't speak. And he is beyond clinical with his style. I was mistaken, he sounds really chill.
Shane Legend. Number 1. Peace, LOVE, Unity, and Hapiness and Skateboarding is not a crime, and Hapiness, and Hapiness and Having Fun. God bless You all. 😇😇😇😇😇😇❤❤❤❤❤❤
i wouldnt be surprised with suddenly some skater started to clip his own instagram shots and post montages on youtube with the same tricks over and over again on several different channels, those videos with royaltie free songs "best of 20xx instagram" are getting lots of views
Id see Shane for years back in the day around Melbourne, at comps and he was always wayyyyyy ahead of the pack...I use to think he was a bit of a prick, now I see hes just focused n determined
blakenyan1 I got a feeling that kids some kinda prick asshole. He’s had sponsors before but they always drop him so I got a feeling it must be something attitude related unfortunately
Companies should be uploading their skaters videos to their platforms and not leave them in the dark to gain a following on the jungle of social media themselves where an unsponsored skaters kickflip flat ground can go viral to millions and a shredders kickflip back lip on a ten stair get 50 views.

Nike: "That's enough, Shane."
*video ends*
the nike thing came out FeelsGood
I have so much respect for this guy. Not only he rips but he looks out for others and takes care of them.
Favourite skater since day one.

Man, he's not just a dope skater, but transcends all that with his influence over others. Now I gotta buy an April deck.
Damn that convo reminded me of the "flow dayz" cool for free shiz, horrible for the future. Much respect to April and Shane.
Shane has the most memorable berrics clip for me. When he came to the park for the "new years resolution" part. It really made me reimagine what was possible in precision on a skateboard.
How did so many people not know he's Australian??
Being young and not listening to any of his interviews are the best culprits.
seriously lmao

Plus, there are Street League and other contests as well as tours he’ll have mini interviews in.
Right?! HE OWNS A F*CKING KANGAROO LOL.......... HOW COULD ANYONE NOT KNOW>

I've been down since early 80's............ SERIOUSLY?

@@capo_di_capi Shane is anything but humble
@@capo_di_capi I wouldn't call him humble
@@nikokaapa why would you say that ? elaborate?
Quincycle why?? im genuinely curious I don’t know of him that well
What a genuine and legit dude.
You should get Sewa on-board

April O’Neill. 🤔 there’s a ninja turtle joke here somewhere but I can’t think of it lol
kinds don't know what is it. in these moments i wnat to kill em all
mrburns805 PORK RIND? PORK RIND!
@@MrBiggysmalls87 kitchen? Kitchen!
it’s the woman Splinter took in and trained hahaha
She stole Donatello's board and wrote her name on it... don't worry, I'll hit the dislike button on my own.
Shane was always one of my favorite skaters 🔥 love this guy 🤘🏻
Shane is so straight forward, no bs with him.
real G for helping his friends out like that
Awesome to see shane O'Neill starting his own board company..i would skate it
You guys gotta get Josiah Gatlyn on the podcast. Dude was absolutely insane on a skateboard and ultimately had to step away because the industry did him dirty. Very interesting story and would be a super solid guest
I second this notion. His switch heels used to blow my mind haha
He was better that some pro’s I’ve seen. It sucks zero didn’t made him pro
they wont give him the platform it would step on too many toes
As a noob, what happened long story short?
His mentality reminds me of shakejunts motto, by the homie for the homies ! Much respect ❤️
14:55 the best advice I’ve heard. Sticking with me for life.
April O'Neil was the first thing that I thought of...this dude should just lie and say it's TMNT cause that is too dope
Love how he asked why he left primitive and every time he went to talk he kept asking again lol
So motivational, keeps old ppl like me still skating
I have an April 8.12 and 8.5 and they're both great boards. April is one of the few companies these days making shapes that I actually like.
Every kid in Hong Kong has an April deck. Word. Skateboarding has exploded in Asia . Word yuto !
7:58 Damn his accent did him dirty there 🤣
No wonder he's so good at skating... just look at his attitude to everyone in his life!
I'm glad he started April cuz it's one of the most aesthetically pleasing brands ever
Fa tho
@@FLTHYFCKGAMING every deck has a clean design
Facts, I love the simple outline. Makes the board look so clean and snappy
@@williamvuitton3063 exactly, I bought one just to hang as a wall piece
What a humble bloke
Everybody knows he named it April so he could have a skateboard that said April O'Neill. Hes a huge ninja turtles fan..
Nice to see you again in this studio
Shane O'Neil you are the Dali Lama of skateboarding. Observation, Execution, Experience, Opertunity, love and after watching this i now know why you have the style and flow you do when you skate... It's because you are a deadset fucking top bloke whom truly cares about others and wants to help make a difference and bring freedom to others whom have the passion
Someone adressed the flow issue. Finally...
What is flow?
@@ArrozConHector Skaters getting free skateboarding products.
what's the issue with it?
GorillionDollarExtreme not getting anywhere further
Hector It’s like the introduction to a company. They think you’re good and like you so they send you stuff. The idea is if things work out you might become an am on the team, etc.
That’s the *idea* anyway.
That April Video is sick, glad he came on hear cause I would of slept on it.
Shane is the modern day stacy peralta, hes gonna change the game soon!!
I want kader on the nine club so bad.
Not by my approvemsnt it is not gonne happen ok?!
@@soundsociety7420 what 💀
Shane is a clever a sane person. He is somehow the reflect of his skating : square, rational, clean. Why I am not surprised at all !?
@thenineclub what do you guys think of highlighting certain topics within the same podcast???, almost like timestamping chapters, except you'd be marking major topics of interest, I think that would help grow the channel by having skaters who want to watch certain topics but not necessarily the whole podcast, could lead to people watching different shows they might not have originally watched.
We’re tryin to do all that... we’re overworked and understaffed haha!
The Nine Club Highlights good luck to you three.
@@nineclubclips I'll do it!
Hire me
April O’Neil
April reminds me of the NY shop “Autumn” 🍂 best time of the year to skate. 💯
Shane should go on Slides and Grinds.
Man that would be epic. I think Carlos Ribiero would get him though.
William Farmer nah Shane is too tech him and Carlos skate together a bunch tho so maybe he knows his tricks hahah
His Australian accent keeps coming and going 😂
I’ve seen too many ppl be flow when they should’ve been am and eventually just fizzle out
Shane made it to where other companies noticed his riders because of the care he takes of his riders. ❤
Traditional street skating is the best. Go out and get it!
Imagine how many skaters could have reached the next level if they had a company owner like Shane , this guy has the intellect to run a company properly.
Shane is a overall good dude it seems like
12:15. "FOR US.... UH . WITH US" HAHAHAH Yeah
marissac870 lol, “you’ll be paid in opportunity and life experience, son.”
Go Shane street skating is a different art. A beautiful thing.❤
Get you a man that looks at you the way Rog looks at Shane
The Minato of skating
Zaire Karaitiana dude, that so true
Minato who? Narutos dad? Lmao
im glad he grabbed the people he did. dude's being stuck on flow or just being shelved for no reason sucks. i couldn't even remember who Ish cepeda was riding for at one point, but now he's making new moves and its great.
He is always so smart in his shirts
“Kelly you said you were on flow”
This dude is the best abs April is one of my favorite teams
RESPECT! He seems like the best dude
First time ever hearing Shane talk 😂
Drama Alert bro same
That glass of milk 😂😂
10:16 is really why he left primitive skateboards he said it with out saying it
good looking thanks
Dont get it ?
Makes sense, but its gotta be hard running a company and trying to make everyone happy. You would almost have to keep your team small to pay everyone fairly unless your brand blows up
Letting the pro talk 😁 love you guys Xxxx
Shane is so chilled
Shane's mind contains so many viable reasons to bring his corp into another level. They're different. Watta lowkey beast
He sounds like Rocko from Rockos Modern Life!
Melvin the Mop Boy I can’t unhear this
He doesn't sound anything like Rocko 😂
Scott Stephens has never seen Rockos Modern Life. SPUNKYYY! SPUNKYYYYYYYY!
BRUH
Had to cop an April deck. Shit riiips
Shane doesn't fuck around he seems like a very serious dude. Not in a bad way he just knows his shit that's why April Skateboards is going to make it and be huge
He needs to embrace the TMNT angle xD That's the first thing I thought of.
My hope is that one of those days Shane starts uploading more content...like on youtube...just for the hell of it
Loved this clip , I'm buying an April board now
not sure why he reminds me so much of the Geico gecko...
😂😂😂
lol
I have to say, I always thought he was conceded because he didn't speak. And he is beyond clinical with his style. I was mistaken, he sounds really chill.
So glad it wasn't April O'Neill. Not that it matters. My name is Will. My wife's name is Kate. I get that crap too.
You guys need to put out more of these tid bits out of the hole interview.
Please
This is the content I fuck with. Diego Najera is a beast.
I genuinely had no idea this guy was Australian. Seen a lot of sick skating from him but never heard him speak till now.
Shane Legend. Number 1. Peace, LOVE, Unity, and Hapiness and Skateboarding is not a crime, and Hapiness, and Hapiness and Having Fun. God bless You all. 😇😇😇😇😇😇❤❤❤❤❤❤
He seems like a super cool cat to be around.
A priceless relic in life
Can’t believe he left primitive still
april is going to be fucking huge!
Shane is amazing.
Nugget!
Tommy Fynn not in the team?
I started a company called May skateboards, we got June trucks and July wheels donkey names
Very well spoken
Bro sitting there talking like he a human
😂
Skateboarding is fun but there is politics behind closed doors! Beef between Shane and Paul @13:19 his change of tone and delivery...
Looooovve my April deck
How is it ?hows the pop?
i wouldnt be surprised with suddenly some skater started to clip his own instagram shots and post montages on youtube with the same tricks over and over again on several different channels, those videos with royaltie free songs "best of 20xx instagram" are getting lots of views
Shane “it’s all good” O’Neill
What's the piece of equipment with the dial that Kelly uses?
Id see Shane for years back in the day around Melbourne, at comps and he was always wayyyyyy ahead of the pack...I use to think he was a bit of a prick, now I see hes just focused n determined
ur the man Shane!
Now we got “The Shane’s”
April "FOOLS"
I'd get one.... Or 2
Hey he said something about street skater that’s out in the streets how about that one kid Cody Davis
