Geoff Rowley | The Nine Club With Chris Roberts - Episode 140

[@bipstern]

I love when dudes who are complete legends speak with humility. This dude has accomplished so much but he speaks from a place of gratitude not ego.

[@theeturnone]

absolutely . his skating has been at such a high level, and he has constantly kept up with the times. . plus all the stuff he has done off the board. . All the while, he has always been a really down to earth dude !!! . Ive had the pleasure of meeting him a couple times, and he was more than gracious to get into a conversation. So; I def agree, just a really good, humble dude that has accomplished so much and doesn't wave it in the faces of people. . .peace, Eric

Humility? Did you mean humble? He is a legend, from my city too. It's great seeing how far he's come from where he started, these streets here are so unforgiving.

[@BrianPayne-ef6kn]

Anyone else love the way these episodes just go on forever!? I love it personally.

[@kukko83]

Absolutely! I have probably skated for about two hours during my life time, but I have always had a general interest in skating. I just think the whole culture is cool. I love watching these interviews, and I also love how they just go on for hours. There seems to be no filler, or awkward pauses, it's just passionate people talking about what they enjoy. One of the most positive YT channels there is.

I'll never forget skating HB skatepark late one night with my friends-we were all terrible at that time. Rowley popped in for a quick session and my friend asked him to play skate, completely egoless and friendly he said sure. Rowley whipped my friend's ass without question, but he was one of the most down to earth skater's I had ever met. I had posters of Rowley in my room and it was amazing to see he was actually quite human and humble. Thanks for the years of inspo Rowley!

[@tiefighter3445]

[@scopeh2006]

Loads of respect for Geoff. Im from Liverpool too, I wish it was how Geoff describes it (im about 10 years behind Geoff in age) and by the time I was learning to skate I can vouch for the fact skate culture was massively frowned upon by just about everyone in the late 90's/early 2000's, especially by other youths as it was misunderstood as a "mosher/goth/emo" thing and therefore weird and met with hostility. Kids would get together to skate in the city centre a mere 10 minute walk away from where Geoff bought his first skateboard at Probe Records, and all of the tracksuit wearing hoodlums would turn up to fight the skaters and steal their boards even though they were doing no harm... just like the mods with their scooters being attacked by teddyboys back in the 50's and 60's. Needless to say I never did learn to skate as it just painted a target on your back 😒 Best thing Geoff ever did for his career was move away from Liverpool. Otherwise we may not even know who he is today. Lots of love for my city but it was narrow minded and wouldn't accept trends which were seen as being... overly american Unless of course it involved guns or violence 😡 which is cool

[@gowkie3940]

I was a skater in Liverpool at that time and yeah, it was rough. We had abuse daily but we were all close knit and looked out for one another, you could always find a mate at the pier head.
