[@armin38822]

Best episode yet. Jeremy Wray is a legend. I really don't know why he doesn't get mention when people talk about the best of all times.

[@jnutz4871]

I agree dude jeremy wray is one of my all time favorites hes skated shit dudes are still afraid to skate now and he made it look easy

[@AKtoTok]

Yeah hands down one of the greats.. I remember seeing his footage as a kid and rediscovered him back when this came out.. his style and gnarly factor are still legendary even to todays standards.

[@Painless1992]

Robbed by the industry and companies. Bums me out, especially because he is so willing to contribute and work, not just ride the status wave or keep milking.

[@patrick88suns]

still got my ADIO beyond VHS and it holds strong

[@theman5221]

Fuck yes! Every one needs to thumbs up your comment

[@kaiserdooder]

Transworld not including J. Wray in the 30th most influential skaters = Biggest travesty in skatelore history ever!

[@santiagomartinez410]

Paul Kaiser when i started skating. Second hand smoke just came out best video part ever.

[@chrisjr1247]

I agree 100%!

[@WesTheDeal]

Jeremy Wray's Starting Point...

[@JacobNorwood1]

Skater Logic: I didn't have a plan I just wanted to build a ramp for my birthday.

[@MidnightSkateVids]

No one is going to kickflip the water tower gap J Wray. No one is going to do anything over it again. Ever. You are in your own league, my friend.

[@MycoMatty]

Clive Dixon did the rail from a tower to another tower that was pretty buck.

[@cheothegeo2742]

@@MycoMatty that’s probably the closest anyone will come to matching the water tower Ollie

[@treny1962]

I've seen it in person and once you get up there it's insane

[@MycoMatty]

@@cheothegeo2742 agreed. And the Clive Dixon rail was not as gnarly as the J Wray water towers. Still super gnarly but the gap in between to two that J Wray did is just insane. And to think he had to jump across that thing three or four times whatever it was is crazy too. Again not taking anything away from Clive that rail was ballsy as hell. Just not the J Wray ollie that’s all.

[@Betweentheatoms]

He's so good at telling back the stories. I felt like i was at the water tower!

[@DylanHughesPhotoVideo]

Had anxiety the whole time he was talking about the water tower gap lol.

[@yeaitsmemikec.2018]

my feet sweating hahah

[@AKtoTok]

Yeah my gosh.. death defying

[@joeyjoey891]

Hahah so did i

[@BZA_]

the new generation does not know this dude redefined the word gnarly, a true legend, awesome episode, thank you Nine club

[@cheothegeo2742]

for whatever this is worth... i'm kinda of the new generation, but i'm not into much new gen anything. i like a lotta older era shit. seemed way more raw back then than wut it is now. when skaters had to be more innovative/crazy/or inhumanly persistent in the face of all the shit you had to take from people cuz skaters were not considered pro athletes with fuck loads of money. society was not nice to skaters. it seemed like if and why you skated, you were an outcast/loser to everybody else. at least that's why I gravitated towards skating. and you weren't drowning in an ocean of instagram/youtube skaters who can do everything but with shit styles and it passes you by as quickly as you saw it......... ok. rant over. thank you. go fuck yourselves 🖕🖕

[@andrewmclean9412]

Best one yet, respect Jeremy Wray.

[@envolcin]

This guys a real professional. Its sucks that its been rough for him getting older, his stories and the way he tells it is so good!!

[@DavidCampillofoto]

Almost 2 hours? you made my day!

[@MrSimondaniel3]

F yeah

[@cit1st]

Seriously. If anyone deserves a 2 hour 9 Club, it's J Wray.

[@408lurks]

definitely one of the more under rated, and still very influential skaters of all time. so sick, thanks 9 club.

[@WiiNESticles]

Thank you guys for not corn holing the show to a static time limit and just letting the conversation flow! Another great episode.

[@nollieflipcrook]

Such a good episode, he seems like such a good dude and fun guy to have a conversation with

[@PotatoPlop]

this is definitely, by far, the best episode yet. I say yet, because I know some how you guys will top this one. Amazing work as always. Jeremy's water tower ollie is one of the gnarliest tricks I've seen, and hearing the whole story about it had me sweating. Bravo.

[@baware9087]

Thank you for this guys. Wray is and always been one of the greatest. Never forget the Color video!

[@MobileInstinct]

Always love hearing Jeremy Wray's stories. This was so good!

[@thinglizzy2718]

RIP Jonas Wray, I started rewatching this episode before I even knew his brother died

[@Emceeh123]

He's just a stand up guy. Great skater, honest person

[@ryancurfman]

Element has a giant store at Universal Studios... I think that's all that needs to be said.

[@sKyWIperzzz]

florida, its actually really sick i have been, not sure why dude is hating, you can go on a rollercoaster drunk as hell then get a new fucking deck, whats better than that?

[@m0431]

Paying Jeremy Wray would be way better than that.

[@robertcrawford8797]

thank you.

[@mitchhoxbymedia558]

hahaha!

[@junkfiles8751]

sKyWIperzzz because that's not what skating is. Skateboarding has always been a counter culture to mainstream culture. You can like what ever you want but sometimes it just shouldn't be mixed. That's how we got skateboarding reality shows and watered down bubble gum punk rock

[@BattleBornBrandon]

water tower gap story was so epic!! I always wanted to know the story behind it. I had to go back and watch the footy again. amazing episode!! love you guys! nine club makes me Mondays less lame :)

[@GetHappy25]

Jeremy Wray's Element departure story is a huge reason why I do not care for that company. I dig some of their current riders but not the brand/ ownership. I suppose that is stuff you pay attention to when your older.

[@crazycarlsadventures5983]

Nick elements lame brand ..their brand save the earth when your riding a board torn down from a tree lol so stupid ..brands Come and go and now elements doing MLB boards , stupid

[@two2five5one1]

trees are farmed.. like corn.. they're not decimating old growth forests to make skateboards.

[@crazycarlsadventures5983]

two2five5one1 trees take like 10-15 years to grow , some even 20 years ...they are not grown as simple as corn ..

[@two2five5one1]

huh? they're still farmed.. not sure why them taking longer means they can't be farmed ?? also, trees are grown more simply than corn... growing yearly crops ruin the land after multiple years so the soil needs constant treatment with nutrients and polymers... tree farming doesn't ruin the land like that nor require nearly as much irrigation.. like, it's easier to grow trees than corn (and wheat and soy etc.) .. not the other way around.

[@crazycarlsadventures5983]

two2five5one1 the only tree farming I ever see is marijuana or x-mas trees lol ...

[@jeremydavis4585]

So good!! I would have been glad to listen to two more hours with Jeremy Wray!! Classy dude!!!

[@t1dal509]

I never knew who Jeremy Wray was growing up. I just always had his Adio's and just skated them. Then I started following his kickflip a day challenge on instagram and decided to check out his video parts finally. This dude is the ballsiest skater on the planet old and current. Love the story of the sidewalk gap and the water tower gap. I just wish I could of been around when skaters were discovering and testing the possibilities of street skating. So fucking sick. Thank you Nine Club for giving us this awesome content every episode.

[@FrankieScavone]

Love learning skate history 🙌🏻

[@michaelcardoso7987]

that water tower story is that most insane shit I have ever heard...he tells is like it's no big shit.

[@cheothegeo2742]

a badass of the fucking highest order. makes 99.99% of all skaters new and old look like soft little pussies.

[@PatDeezy]

my hands got sweaty just listening to it

[@MrFowlancer]

right? I cant even bare to listen anymore. I'm terrified, rocks, the part where he explains its even gnarlier without board. Oh my fucken god man.

[@Terriblegolfer16]

Michael Cardoso dude I looked the trick up its fucking insane

[@michaelcardoso286]

Dude, imagine if you don't have enough speed or change your mind...hospital or dead.

[@Ladera1017]

jeremy wray helped me build a pillow fort in my living room. always been a good guy

[@Maostodon]

Please do have him back!!! I wanna hear more about his present and future.

[@delnord9148]

it's hard to get more real than Jeremy Wray, sooo much respect!

[@baware9087]

Please for the love of skateboarding, make the Day in the life of Jeremy Wray happen.

[@circa54]

Such a good episode, wish this one was longer, or definitely need to have him back asap!

[@Pacificpaw]

in my opinion one of the best episodes yet

[@MrOuest]

One of the best episodes...so far

[@chepesent]

this pod made my rush hour, thanks jeremy!

[@Garf2O]

wray talking about kickflips is better than any shitty ride channel how to videos ive ever watched

[@tonycorolla2012]

Without even listening I can already tell: This one must be great!! Much love from Germany.

[@EdPoster]

Jeremy Wray is the biggest inspiration in skateboarding!! Can't believe nearly 2hrs flew by 🙈 Great episode!

[@juanitosb]

Have the water tower Ollie on repeat next to your switch manny

[@AKtoTok]

great video, jeremy wray is and was such a ripper. appreciate the lengthy video too, keep them over an hour and half pleaseeeee hahaha

[@michaelswanson6677]

Hey nine club, thanks for sharing links to what's mentioned in these episodes. I keep forgetting to say. Cheers! Jeremy Wray everybody!!!!

[@Inkdrawing66]

So sad the wsy how Element treated one of the most influential skater of all the time :( That's one of the reasons why l will never use their products.

[@christophersawyer253]

iuppi appa I had soooo many JW boards.......but agree....no more Element. They treated him so badly

[@doctorworm3735]

Best tre flip ever, the way he wraps his back foot up and around the board and just STOMPS THEM.

[@MartinKohoutekchannel]

Jeremy Wray is the man! I'm really interested in everything what he says. Really great episode so far! Well... back to the video to watch the rest hehe :-D

[@slimnics]

Great episode again, thanks guys.

[@jasonlandry4416]

Put in work watching all the episodes up to date, by far the best platform to get to know some of our skater heroes. Keep up the good work dudes.

[@thenineclub]

thanks :)

[@MarvinEhlers]

If you got Mark Gonzalez on the show I think I'd die

[@evan0316]

The Starting Point was literally the first skate video I ever saw! Glad yall interviewed this guy.

[@RickKosickFilms]

Keep up the good work. You guys have a good thing going.

[@lets7121]

Im Learning so Much about skateboarding from These Episodes. This Has been long needed. Thanks guys

[@dubcoder]

Such an amazing and influential skater

[@GeorgeB514]

Top 5 episode right here, boys. Part 2's gonna be a treat!

[@supernewuser]

This is probably my favorite episode yet. I think Roger should help Jeremy put out a video about his life in the same vein as Waiting For Lightning or one of the other docs and put it up for sale on itunes etc. In my opinion Jeremy is easily up there with Danny in terms of the ground he broke and he's definitely had more of an impact on my style of skating. I would actually like one on Jonas as well. Maybe combine them and make it 1.5x longer. I ended up getting an hour of sleep before work because I saw this in my feed at like 4am..

[@SergioBosatra]

How can anyone hit dislike on such an EPIC character?! One of the best episodes, great stuff!

[@mathieulb1672]

Amazing interview, thxs guys.

[@codyray2914]

yoooo best video yet..... you need to get Darrell Stanton on here.

[@collintheshots9265]

Cody Ray touche.

[@jamier6742]

HelgeStrichen yeah you know I hate it too when I watch an interview and the person has the balls to tell it like it is.how dare Mr. Wray come on this podcast and answer questions truthfully and confidently.

[@codyray2914]

Jamie R that video was great what are u talking about?

[@jamier6742]

Cody Ray sarcasm. There was a douche bag that was being a hater. Since my last comment he seems to have erased his comments and disappeared.that's too bad I was just getting started on him.

[@codyray2914]

Jamie R I feel u .... I glad u spoke up about how shady shit is in the skate industry. I'm from the east I went to the west n if u don't kiss ass u get banned

[@SuperSteinin]

Wray is a modern gentleman and a beast all at the same time! Would love a marc/wray show thing.

[@88katanas]

Jeremy is definitely one of the best to ever step on a board. I can totally picture him as a very old man, he has this awesome Grandpa vibe. I will also say how depressing it is to hear that even HE isn't exempt from getting dissed and screwed over by certain - very misguided - skate companies. Yeesh :( The only thing more frustrating than hearing that someone as massively multi-talented (and positive) as Jeremy was treated poorly -- would be hearing the bullshit excuses of the people responsible for that treatment.

[@caseyaylward8853]

If you think about it every big gap from back in the day by now somebody has kickflipped it or done something, El Toro, UC Davis etc... No one has even tried fucking with the water tower gap. Thats why Jeremy Wray is a Goddamn Legend

[@habitat245]

You guys should get Bam on the show. You get really in depth in your interviews which is cool and there has never been an interview with Bam where it gets into detail about his actual skating career. The interview always focuses so much on the MTV stuff.

[@5CYL_BTLSHIP]

Watching these videos makes sitting at my desk all day at work so much easier. Jeremy is insane and really entertaining to listen to. I miss Adio so much. That was one of those brands I truly loved back in the day

[@nathanrupley]

Great episode. Seriously bring him back for another one!

[@adamcarpenter1869]

Fun watching this again after 5 years. JWray is one of my favorite skaters of all time. I modeled a lot of my skating and trick selections after him.

[@skulleagletartat]

do a day in the life with Jeremy Wray!!!

[@00010075]

This makes me want to support Wray Bros way more now

[@AmericaHighFive]

Holy shit! What an episode! Wray is so fucking gnarly. Beyond underrated, the dude has pulled off some of the craziest shit ever. Did most of it over a decade ago. Absolute legend. Thanks guys.

[@_jeanshepherd]

Jeremy Wray explaining the way he does front flips is monumental! Love this show!

[@turnert2005]

Awesome video, Jeremy Wray is the man!! I vote for the next episode to be Kelly interviewing Chris, what do you think???? I want to learn some more about Chris Roberts!!

[@MrRholt3]

Some of the coolest shoes I ever had wear those Adio Wrays! I think i was in 6th grade then, fat laces and fatter tongues were a must. set that shoe as my background screen saver on the home computer before i got black and red ones that christmas

[@xavierrivera9130]

What a time

[@okcmpter]

best one yet for sure.

[@AKtoTok]

Watching the 4th time since it came out... Wray is such a talent and storyteller.

[@BoBskates]

such a great episode! jeremy has done so much for skateboarding. could you get mark oblow on here?

[@nikokaapa]

Relistening to this it's crazy how often Chris interrupts Jeremy. Especially dureing the watertower story.

[@sup_jammin]

Yo C-rob! I'm a big fan from long Island new york.watched every episode... i was going to comment last week that you guys should have Jeremy Wray on ..so stoked to hear this interview..that Jeremy wray How To video taught me to skate .. you guys are killing it with the nine club..

[@implosionsinapie]

This might be favorite episode yet!

[@jbtownsend9535]

I forgot how much information I have stored in my brain about 90's skateboarding. Trying to kickflip with your foot way over because of J Wray, while wearing a pair of Duffs, was a real thing. To hear the details and back stories now, is really really cool. Keep it up dudes.

[@RuskaBeats]

I feel like I've been waiting since second hand smoke to see this! J DUBS Represent!!!!!

[@themasudi]

such an amazing episode

[@brianwagner8010]

Jeremy was my first favorite skater. Started skating in 10th grade in 92-93. I had the (first?) 411 where the first trick is a slow-mo kickflip over a curb gap on a sidewalk. I was enthralled. I showed my dad. He said it was trick photography. I even sketched a pic of one of his backsides down stairs that was in a Thrasher. This was a great interview

[@larijaakkola8510]

Smart dude and such good stories. I could really relate to the stories about seeing tricks for the first time and trying to learn them. It brought me back to the first times I was skating. Very good episode!

[@Regulo.calo.]

Yesss!!! 🙌🏼 Just when I said to myself "what could I watch".

[@brashadams804]

Have to be at the DMV in a few hours. Gonna save some of this episode to pass time. Thank you for the lengthy interview NineClub!
