The Dressen episode was good. Gotta watch the Natas episode. Grosso's love letters is another great one to watch. Nobody rants so awesomely like he does.
The SkateOne video was too cool! Proud to support what they do.
Interesting that Natas backed away from skating because he couldn't get a big shaped deck and didn't want to ride small decks with small wheels. Crazy that Natas couldn't get the style of deck that he wanted to skate.
It's funny, I saw that pop up on Youtube and thought "Mike V, this should be interesting.....probably be really long though because that dude likes to talk." Sure enough, 5 hours.
I'm only 44 minutes in, listening on my drive to work. The guys commented that he has such vivid memories and I can't help but think "Of course they seem vivid, he's making them up as he goes along.". Maybe the story will change as he gets more into detail, but when he released the Jeff Philips Breakout tribute deck he talked about how it was his first board, even on his website it mentions that was his first board and...I quote from his site. "Naturally, Vallely decorated it by cutting Black Flag bars into the grip.". Yet here he is saying he picked out a Craig Johnson and the dude who ordered the deck is the one who cut the bars into the griptape.
I know I'm super critical of the guy, but I just can't help it.
This episode or the Nine Club in general? The Lance episode was awesome. 3 hours of Lance telling stories.
I've listened to a few of them, honestly most of them are so-so. Lance is awesome as always, the Hawk one was good. I figure the Mike V one will be entertaining if nothing else.
Lol yea. But I can't pass up Mike V talking about Mike V for 5 hours. The level of bullshit entertainment is going to be off the charts. By the 3 hour mark I expect him to talk about how he formed Black Flag and taught Tony how to skate.
@Chris@WakeInFright I though the episode was really good. Maybe cause I always wondered about the Virginia Beach part of his story. And he talked about that in depth. Also seems he is still down with George Powell.

Here's a nice little table talk interview with Lance Mountain. Lance is the man. I never get tired of watching him skate or listening to an interview. http://theridechannel.com/news/2016/08/lance-mountain-table-talk
