Don you drew some crazy picture and signed it on the back of my hoodie at Expo 86...we were sitting in the stands watching the vert Contest And you were So rad to me....I was 12.

[@esskateboarding]

hahaha... that's rad! i still have a TWS bag from that contest!

[@robfromvan]

I saw the run where Rodney Mullen got 100% in his run at Expo 86, Steve Rocco, primo desiderio, Gogo Spreiter, Per Welinder were other freestylers there.

[@dealt]

Love those classic és kicks in the background. Don Brown is definitely a skateboarding paragon. much love to The Nine Club for another fine episode.

[@digitaljerm9501]

The Christmas Party story part was amazing. He really portrayed having a genuine love for the skateboard community. I own a shop Street Science in Livermore California (near Bay Area) and there are phases where you come across jaded skaters etc that only have complaints about their peers or the industry but if you just look at the big picture Skateboarding is just awesome. There is nothing like it and this includes the community. This show brings constant reminders of that. Thanks.

[@PatDeezy]

I'll never forget wild in the streets in New York city, Brooklyn banks, think it was 2007. Taking over the streets with Reynolds skating right next to you was such an awesome feeling

[@ohhimark2130]

Re: go boarding day - I went snowboarding July 4th this year. Mammoth is open till August this year.

[@Steezo_Romero]

As if everything we learned about Don Brown wasn't epic enough. He had to ender the show with a tough guy shot. That was bad ass!!

[@michaelswanson6677]

I'm on I-40 in NC, and had to pull over to see the Tough Guy Shot go down.. insane !! Good show guys, again!

[@hussy6662]

Aye I'm from nc to! haha.

[@ssbsts1239]

Don is the man! Him and Kelly flow so many kids

[@urtfoodwater]

best ending by far don is a boss lol

[@thebigbeesknees]

I had no idea who Don was. I now love this man.

[@anthonystull787]

that was epic. this is the best show on youtube.

[@sKyWIperzzz]

You guys are killing it with this, keep it up, the formula of the show is perfect and makes my monday commute dope.

[@nick88xx]

best show ever

[@EvrybodySurf]

love that actions make things transparent

[@Kilgore_Trout_]

Tough guy shot side, this has got to be the best episode yet. Very informative, interesting and entertaining. Get Don on again.

[@CafeHueyLong]

It's been 3 long years without a Don Brown appearance. I hit him up on IG sometimes he's such a class act. He has the perfect mix of arrogance and humility. He needs to be on some Nine Club Experience episodes. I want to hear him talk about the Scheme's, Tribo's, and Sparta's.

[@skatehead5494]

Hell yeah Don is the man! Skating ES as a kid in the late nineties was a blessing. Accel brown and gum and K3. Get Andy Jenkins!

[@7egg34]

I'm so hyped on es I just got a pair last week. They make skateboarding feel brand new again

[@dannyphillips3375]

random fucking question...I seen the guy below ask..but I swear to god and on my mom I've seen every single episode 10 times each..this is sooo addicting.. I'm a die hard skater..meet Kelly at Street league love him shout out to rbag too... I looooove this show..please from the bottom of my heart keep going with it...crob you have literally mad me cry laughing..literally your fucking hilarious.. great interviewer..love you guys as a skater:)))

[@sologuitardeath]

Happy to be watching this while wearing a pair of 'eS Sal's. Thanks Don Brown and Kelly Hart for giving 'eS a presence in present day skateboarding.

[@themanofNeil]

The way Don Brown snorted that salt was no joke.

[@RogerBagley]

like a pro!

[@childrenofthegrove]

one of my favorite episodes

[@ilikeemerica9619]

I remember one time at school I had a pair of square ones and I heard this girl say oh Es he has Spanish shoes.

[@codydennings8264]

This was a great b-day present! "scoring knobs" hahaha you guys kill it every week.

[@shanewelch3629]

Don Brown: Legend

[@bradpeterson7340]

you should get Don Brown on the show.

[@LinkMassing]

Wowwwwww! What a beautiful lesson in skateboarding. Thank you Don and again thank you all @the9. Roger, your humble knowledge of skating reflected in every episode is full blown creepy.

[@schulernoah]

Keep up the good work, this show is so good! Favorite part of the week hands down!

[@otjunior]

I have learn so much because of this show thank you so much guys!! Keep it up!

[@RowanClark]

What a fucking train wreck of an ending. Loved it. Great episode

[@ethandavidson72]

Very informative. Great episode guys. The best skateboarding show out there!

[@mattmckeel2955]

Did anyone else notice PJ Ladd and Maldonado's tapes magically switching places? Mandela effect?

[@lowbudgetproductions1290]

this was the greatest episode ever haha

[@hollylopez1898]

absolutely my favorite episode!! definitely brings me back. still need mayhem on the show!!!

[@VibeWheels]

Another great episode fellas!

[@pizza4siri]

The9Club theeeeee best. Hello from Slovenia

[@ebyanrezgui88]

watching this on wearing my es hoodie and og accels, big love for eS!

[@speedhead]

them OGs are indestructible eh?

[@ebyanrezgui88]

best shoes ever, when they start dying a bit of glue gives them another few months life

[@sotsadboy671]

I was actually surprised about the whole section about the insurance, keep up the good work Crob, Rbag, and KHar!!! Monday's aren't such a drag since the Nine Club started....

[@hauss]

100👏

[@johnnyj95]

Keep up the shows love watching them

[@88katanas]

Don is just simply the man isn't he

[@mariomiller2545]

Dude, Don went for that Lime!

[@codsallbob]

Great stuff!! Don's a don!

[@jessemoynahan]

Holy shit I wanna party with Don

[@speedhead]

es is such a dope brand with simple, clean ascetics

[@MycoMatty]

They are a super dope brand but I wouldn’t exactly call them simple. They are supposed to be the “techy” brand out of the 3 under that umbrella. Even going back to the Koston 1s and 2s were super tech for that era.

[@cit1st]

I'd rock the shit out of a Nine Club shirt!

[@chrisnobles8114]

Damm I had that same exact brown es shoe in the background back in 6th grade. I wore that shoe until they bottomed out. So nostalgic!

[@youngunz0928]

dat history story rite there. dope

[@RelicswithAlex]

This was hilarious and informative. That jetski crash video just traumatized me.

[@felipe.cvl89]

Great as usual. For us here in Brazil a big part of that skateboarding history don't come, so it's good to learn a lil bit! És Justin Eldridge model was dope! Keep it up guys.

[@OtBe]

I had a great pair of Sheep Shoes that looked like White leather back in the mid 90's.. Rocked the shit out those! So good, was sad to see them go. I had just discovered them & then they were gone.

[@jimmytaylor1118]

You dudes are killing it you should have a million subs. Anybody who's sleepin on this show is a fool. Keep up the good guests it's appreciated.

[@thenineclub]

spread the word, help us get our subs up! :)

[@deckmonkey1459]

I'm in. Roger was looking smart again at the end with the Bull Durham wisdom.

[@tomf4087]

Yeah, they won't last

[@fullyflared27]

I wish eS would bring back the Square 2's. Best skate shoes I ever had.

[@esskateboarding]

Try the Square 2 combination of the 1 + 2

[@nickengelsman]

My god, Monday's are the best!!! Big fan

[@7egg34]

I'm a firm believer in the cup sole. Vulcanized shoes are weak. Although I do miss the Reynolds threes with the diamond stud

[@mikefinnegan6766]

You know he just left emerica right? Can't believe it

[@CafeHueyLong]

Yep vulcs are hot trash. Vulcanized shoes look okay but they aren't built for skating.

[@bberke1994]

Holy shit this episode was entertaining!!!! Don Brown is the man

[@212thmedia]

Nine Club!!! Get AVE on this show!!! Best part of Monday

[@okcmpter]

I have to say Roger, the beard works.

[@sdkt411]

"go boarding day" lol

[@hussy6662]

if sheep were to be brought back it would be so fucking dope. Imagine the team line up and the newer designs. I could see sheep having a lot of potential.

[@davidpatterson2906]

I had white Koston 1's back in the day they were fucking amazing to skate. Thank you Don Brown and Eric Koston for that!

[@lloyddean3007]

So cool hearing all these old story about e's, reminds me of the good old days in my white and blue and accels 😌

[@FumblesRX78]

Es accel are the best!

[@PotatoPlop]

amazing. Don is a G.

[@blastgordon]

Nine club shirts 👍

[@JerryRiceBall]

Raj knows his schtufff!!! Ooooweeee

[@JazzholeSlim]

I remember hearing about the first go skate day on that news show that was on fuel tv back in the day. I was like whaaaa!? National go skate day!? Haha.

[@macnguyen2431]

I knew Don when he used to come into TWS with Yogi. Best event was the Booze and Ping Pong Tourni at the Etnies Office.

[@BenjaminParisot]

I’m f*cking crying laughing during the tough man shot part. Keep it up boys.

[@D_Lopez]

Great episode.

[@bladecontreras6165]

The most raddest ending ever! Dude! Don snorted the fuck out of that salt. He’s such a legend on and off the board! Sick Rog!

[@adventureswithchristinaand1996]

great interview

[@ralphemerson8919]

"The show that has skaters snorting salt and dripping lime in their eyes."

[@brianna5366]

[@SkateBoardVideos99]

[@ajperry92]

The eS x Sheep collab shoe was so sick! Would love another pair.

[@kreekybones]

good call roger....def go for the PPO....if you can afford it

[@cedricborero4677]

You know, I've seen just about every episode of Nine Club and I just now notice that Roger has a man bun or a ponytail.

[@RogerBagley]

neither...i just need a haircut, so i tuck my hair up into the sides of my hat.

[@cedricborero4677]

Roger Bagley oh okay my apologies man

[@bearhughes3213]

anotha sick show

[@FiveeyesSkateboarding]

A true English gent !

[@johnjunior6650]

“A very shell toe’y type of shoe..” 🤔lmaoo I just realized im wearing MuskaIII’s supras blacked out at work. Doing security rite now lol🤣

[@preusbs]

I want to do a tuffguy shot with Don Brown 🤩 I still have an ès hoodie from the 90’s that’s still one of my favorites. The shoes are still awesome to skate

[@sw111lol]

I'd buy a nine club shirt

[@gwmoomey]

Muskas!!!! Those were my joints!!!

[@OPanda569]

[@TheFutureIsPrimitive]

[@RogerBagley]

"Disposable" by Sean Cliver

[@TheFutureIsPrimitive]

Thank you Roger!

[@myousickoflife]

Don is such a funny guy makes me happy buying eS!

[@LiveLoveSour]

Fucking killing it with this show !

[@acidhalfman7902]

és Accel Og is the only shoe model I'm buying since the last 10 years. Probably bought like 14-15 pairs. ✊🌋

[@armin38822]

So...When is Tom Penny getting on this ?

[@alexcorona]

armin38822 when he doesn't live on the other side of the planet.

[@CafeHueyLong]

He's a total recluse. He's like a unicorn. Some people claim to have seen him but nobody really knows.
