Heath Kirchart Stories with Dave Swift

[@briansmith960]

Respect to Heath. Love watching him skate

[@Benw3790]

Swift looks like Kelly in 20 years dude. I can't unsee it

[@SYratherripped]

Heath was always my favorite skater. I remember rocking his Emerica shoes back in the day, the navy color line. Hearing his stories is the best.

[@ogfullmelt]

I will pay top dollar for a sice 9.5 black and red 1st Emerica model.

[@joshuasmith6346]

Heath was my 1st favotite skateboarder. I remember the way he was described in an old Transworld magazine. How he using the grease in his hair to wax the gnarly rails he takes out

[@eastcoastfilmzmedia]

@@ogfullmelt for real

[@HTRism]

@@joshuasmith6346would love to see that article

[@quarancine878]

lol I remember I bought a size too big just to get his shoes. good old days.

[@princequestly2218]

This is what nine club is about hearing all these these rad stories. So good !

[@mikesgarage18]

That The End part with J Klein and Heath still epic to this day

[@derrickallen2054]

After the first time watching Heath skate, he became my fav. Legend of legends

[@mikaellofgren7]

Heath is a skate God

[@reeltimegamer7708]

"He's a perfect example of Strictly Business Skateboarding..." -Reynolds describing Kirchart, Transworld Anthology (2000)

[@armin38822]

I think Reynolds kind off did the same with his parts.

[@jon5one7]

His focus was something I noticed when I was kid. Always the solo night missions. Sight unseen was my first video ann then older friends educated me.

[@STAYHUMBLE302]

Hey nine club been watching you guys since you started love it can’t get enough was curious if possible could you when talking about a specific shot like the Keith thanksgiving photo or clip maybe add that in for a min while talking about it haha I always find my self going to look up those shots Love you guys keep on pushing the nine club is needed in the culture 🙌❤️👊🤙

[@sean1852]

Skating needs more guys like Heath these days.

[@Notmatb]

I hella feel Heath about skating with no people around. Unless there my friends I skate with (which is pretty much zero people) but I skate best by myselg

[@808kicks2]

Can only skate with the homies I’ll send down when crowds form never understood how heads skate in front of mass lurkers

[@cheothegeo2742]

yea. seeing him eat/lose his shit over and over again all by his lonesome is so raw to me. and extremely relatable lmao

[@DeezzzzNutzzzz]

Bro, then you're pretty much just like Heath. You could say you're hella Heath bro.

[@skaterdad108]

9:50 the rail they're talking about is what Kelly says, The Avenue of the Stars. It's in Century City in Beverly Hills. Heath also fs noseslid it.

[@DoomSplitta]

Wish they showed the footage of all the Gnar tricks they talk about.

[@randumbfigyour7974]

They need to show more clips and pictures damn it!

[@JonasPolsky]

bro they're talking about an off-screen photo for 5 minutes, it made me crazy

[@tilen3870]

What I wouldn't give for Heath on Nine club...

[@highginx]

I got Heaths autograph on a Stay Gold poster from when I was a kid

[@jpippinator]

Heath, Reynolds, Leo Romero and Ed Templeton did a signing at my local surf shop. Reynolds signed my Reynolds 3's. Crazy to think that I saw them all together.

[@ryanhingorani4019]

damn that's LITERALLY gold

[@mattmendoza352]

I've got a birdhouse hat signed by Heath from a hookups tour

[@highginx]

@@jpippinator sick

[@highginx]

@@ryanhingorani4019 yup

[@blinkifyouhearme]

I love photographers’ and fibers’ stories! Dave’s are awesome 😆

[@damienbrockett898]

More heath!

[@turismoavenue]

i tthink it would lbe nice when you guys are talking about the footage, maybe a small video on the right bottom, or a link to video would be great, but that would be some eextra work :))) , any always greeaet videos

[@unknownsender6852]

Bah! I went to El Toro 1996-2000.. Skated there every single damn day from 1992-2000ish. I was skating the forum the day Heath rolled up solo to scope the rail a few months before he shot that lipslide. Just me and Heath.... The school administration played that clip of The End during morning announcements in 1999. Administrators were heated, I believe I heard that Birdhouse payed out some funds.

[@Ketacah]

Heath Kirchart is the personification of a switchblade knife… in the best way.

[@Alexketchem]

Heath basically kickstarted the EL TORO arms race. Thats insane to think about.

[@WhatisReal11]

not basically, he did

[@MartinAston00]

It’s how a lot of us are. Some guys don’t care, sloppy is cool as long as it’s landed. Guy’s like Heath, it doesn’t count if it’s not “CLEAN”. If you skate, you know what I mean.

[@patsherman5542]

much respect to Swifto !!

[@edwardscheve7317]

"Oh, no. He had his own lock"

[@alexguzman2802]

Why hasn’t heath came on?

[@popnmusicNC]

He doesn’t like to talk about skating .. he went to something else

[@thinglizzy2718]

Heath straight up quit skating after stay gold. Even TONY HAWK had to twist his arm to reinvent the van scenes from The End in the transworld skate and create last year. I’m not expecting to see him on here at all

[@pennyhemens478]

@@thinglizzy2718 he skates still. Theres footage around. He's shown up at events.

[@thinglizzy2718]

@@pennyhemens478 Yeah but he said he took a huge break after stay gold. And he’s not skating for anyone. He works at Emerica still I believe. It’s not like he’s pro or sponsored anymore

[@Talby926]

@@thinglizzy2718 He didn't quit skating, he quit pro skating. There is tons of footage out there since his retirement. He mostly quit video parts. They stressed him out.

[@prestonpage4206]

Why has Heath never been on the show

[@trainwreck2k2]

I have been waiting forever for Heath!!

[@joshbowers9863]

It's not surprising due to the fact he's a pretty private person

[@atbta]

Why does the sun shine? Why do rivers flow?

[@trainwreck2k2]

Maybe if they do the interview at 2 am with flood lights they can get him to come to an interview??

[@GregMuniz7]

I wish he would. Maybe someone will convince him sometime.

[@iarwainthabombadil7724]

someone please tell me who painted that portrait of Chris? and dont say it was my Mom she dont paint anymore.

[@supernewuser]

It took them 2 hours before they found the body of mike the pepsi delivery guy behind the dumpsters.

[@MartinAston00]

Omg.. I want that “ és “ mug ! ! Where did he get that !??

[@thinkforyourself5672]

He's the team manager so I'm sure he has access to things we don't.

[@snakefinger]

University California Heath. Let’s not kid ourselves that place is officially his.

[@SchnellVITALVINYLVLOG]

Awesome

[@sicksenseskates8317]

🔥🔥

[@andrew3371]

*sigh* Kelly’s Questions…

[@23sopower]

🙏

[@innol8318]

Hel yah

[@netnavigator3264]

Wait, can anyone paraphrase the thing about the El Toro being “staged”?

[@HTRism]

He meant the van entrance,and going down the stairs

[@JoseGarcia-ks6tt]

That explains the night stalker graphics .Lol...bc he like to be alone at night.

[@ezgezg8618]

🍻🇨🇦

[@juniormints6454]

idk the context but its weird wearing another man's uniform shirt, imo

[@jbball647]

Dude is liking his shine, blowing up heaths spot tho

[@pennyhemens478]

Ur trippin.

[@Mordorer]

Heath will still be the first. That’s what makes Heath, Heath.

[@WhatisReal11]

you are confused.

[@Badmadworld90]

Wish they talked about Barbarians at the gate whenre Heath was invloved filing underage naked 14 year old girs with Steve Rocco or how when Heath was 28 he assaulted and tortured James Hardy who was 15 at the time, or the time punched Patrick O'dell for no reason other than O'dell saying that I've never been in a fight before. All these stories are true you can do a quick fact check if you want to see what your skate god really is like

[@HTRism]

From what I can tell HE was 17 at the time and if somebody was to Blame was rocco. Also no one’s here talking how good of a person he is,it’s how rad he is skateboarding wise.

[@fuckcensorship69]

James Hardy RIP. Ride the Sky brother
