Neal Mims | The Nine Club With Chris Roberts - Episode 183

[@typ044]

Big respect to Neal for being so open with his story, and congrats for turning your life around

[@lynfieldryda]

if you might be drinking too much , listen to this guy .

[@DFunct905]

😆 seriously though…, Neal hit bottom pretty hard, but that doesn’t mean someone has to lose it all before they can call it a problem.

[@edwintroy6957]

No shit

[@terriblehappytalks]

Again, it is sincerely refreshing to hear another skateboarder talk openly about their sobriety. Mental illness is a global epidemic, with alcohol being the self-medicator of choice for many. Respect Neal Mims and the Nine Club for advocating.

[@DFunct905]

I think too many skaters (and a lot of others too) normalize drunkenness. Having some beer is one thing, but getting drunk multiple times a week isn’t anything to be proud of.

[@masonmcconnell9375]

We need Tom penny.

[@billjordan3952]

I don't think tom will do it but Rocco is a possibility 😎🤘

[@zezty4295]

He still can't come to the states

[@TobiasHeinzle]

and of course Jim Greco

[@JFryed420]

Awesome! I love hearing stories of guys I never heard of. I used to just skip the ones of the guys I never heard. Glad I learned to watch them all!

[@Bryan-kl5rr]

You guys rock. Nine club podcasts give me something to look forward to.

[@mattstevenson1334]

I think if Mims can quit drinking, I can ditch the cigarettes... Shit was heavy! Congrats Dude on turning things around. Great episode

[@worstse]

hopefully you have by now!

[@arthurhatten]

So hyped about this episode! One of my favorite skaters. I'm from Tallahassee. Skated with Caine and Neal a lot in '92/'93. Caine was dating my girlfriend's dorm room roommate. I remember thinking how much better Neal was than Caine because he was 360ing up onto Business Block at FSU. Caine was on Prime and because of my girlfriend's roommate, I got a few free boards... reminiscing...

[@MichaelaBrooke18]

Bro that is a dope story!!! Its crazy how they are superheros and legends and then become friends or friends to legends!!

[@ScamLikely9327]

Episodes that are this honest are what make me love this show. Like all of them are honest but this episode is so bare bones about his alcoholism. Legend thank you MIMS.

[@JoshTrainsReyesBfmv]

Early access making Sundays better. Please join and thank you Nine Club!

[@FuzzyDancingBear]

Finally my area is getting nice enough and dry enough to skate outside. And then I get home and see this???? YES

[@AdventuresInSkateboarding]

This was great. I don't have the right words to express how I feel about this. It is an important topic and I hope people that need to hear this take something from it. I didn't know who Neal was but I know now. Respect Sir.

[@Cryptvk]

Finally joined the club

[@sheriffmiggy6885]

Best podcast to ever exist!

[@anthnyalxndr]

Thank you Nine Club and Neal. This kind of honesty is rare to see, and I'm sure it's benefited a lot of people.

[@tinosmo1]

Dude 3 hrs! This is the best skate podcast in the world.

[@richsoryu]

Great episode. I really emjoyed listening to Mims' stories. This is up there with Grosso and his turn around. Great life story. Also, that ending was pure gold. LMAO

[@keirandavid4077]

Awesome show. I can really relate to this awesome man,alcoholism does really grab you. Skateboarding helped me get sober. Haven't touched a drink in two years. DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP

[@ST-cv4vn]

mims is an awesome dude. did his academy back in the day and it was a great memorable experience. glad to see hes still doing well

[@younevershould1798]

Holy shit. The most honest, humble and entertaining episode yet. Incredible watch and super worthy of your time.

[@antihero898]

Dammit you guys, Nine Club is absolutely slaying shit right now. So much good content.

[@jbtownsend9535]

What a rollercoaster. Thanks fellas.

[@radiojulez7225]

This was a great interview. . It goes to show that everybody can make choices to improve your life , no matter how bad you think things have gotten. ..peace

[@JoaquinVolpe_]

We need the interview with Milton Martinez🙏

[@DFunct905]

Joaquín Volpe Milton’s English is still a work in progress.

[@vgrepairs]

Let's wait for the cory kennedy interview....

[@marcot5386]

Just shows what you can achieve .. no matter what

[@iangray678]

Stoked he turned it round, some of that stuff was gnarly. Rad episode

[@THEBIGLEBOTSKI74]

I never would’ve thought that Kyle Bernard and Neal Mimms episodes would be in my top 5, but just goes to show how important and fucking awesome thus show is and it’s endless list of interesting personalities that are brought on. Kudos Nine Club🙏🏼

[@jwill55kings]

Got my one year badge today!! just commenting so I can see it haha. Thank you guys for all the hard work and amazing content

[@CoreyHague]

Dan Clark good on you dude, booze is a tough one for sure. Stay strong.

[@GregMuniz7]

It’s cool to hear about Caine gayle and the axion/city stars days. That’s when I first started skating. Miss those days.

[@MichaelaBrooke18]

City stars and axion was my sh*t!! I grew up on da street most of my life and they were juugin and it made a huge impact on everything i do with skating!!

[@Stefan.X.]

It's pretty cool to see how far the 9 club has come. From their humble beginnings, to now, salute Crob, Roger, Kelly, Justin, steezus and their occasional other hosts. Keep rocking

[@austinegy]

these podcasts continue to leave me wowed and inspired.

[@DuffmanOhNo]

Big up 9 club. The Monday morning ritual! You make my work day more enjoyable!

[@jamesrooney4106]

Stoked to see this episode. Neal is a great dude. I met him while coaching for a high school skateboarding league called the OCSL(later became the NSSL) I was hoping they would have brought that up but they never touched on it. The league had some amazing kids, some of which went on to have skate careers(most notably Franky Villani). Glad to see Neal sobered up and is doing so well.

[@NealMimsSkateAcademy]

Yeah James!

[@thisismusic5105]

I always thought Neal Mims was a vert skater, I just remembered him being on World when I first started skating. Just watched his feedback part and was surprised and impressed. Luh da Nine Club

[@mesohunt704]

ThisIsMusic I thought the same exact thing. Then I figured I might be confusing him with Neal Hendrix. I saw feedback 10+ years ago but don’t remember much. Need to peep it again.

[@mesohunt704]

ThisIsMusic damn actually way more then 10 years ago. I’m almost 30. Sometimes I forget I’m not 18.

[@leejordan5937]

I'm may not comment every Monday or Wednesday but I'm always watching thanks guys. Thank you Neil. Where would I be without you nine Club

[@biosfearmag]

Another good Nine Club Therapy session. Thank you.

[@8k38]

Good dudes interviewing good dudes !

[@maartenderyck1]

this episode tells people to never give up ,no matter what! great stories, can't wait for that arto saari episode ;)! well done again guys! nine club fan from day 1

[@MichaelaBrooke18]

I have been skating for almost 20 years and i just now figured out that skating by yourself without filming and expectaion and ego is the only way!! Thats why there isnt room for two on a skatboard or a rail or stairs or ledges etc. I hope you still try and shed everyday gg!! #Independce #ITSaTOY #loveitorleaveit

[@augormasterson9312]

When you see an ex XYZ rider doing an interview, you click it knowing you’re in for a great of great stories and awesome skating.

[@DFunct905]

XYZ? Is that an old skate team?

[@kryptichands968]

Feel like I'm listening to myself talk during parts of this, thank you 9 club

[@brokenoutline]

Such a great episode guys ! We need a Rodney episode in 2020 🙏🏻

[@Dashynene]

[@johncarmine516]

Damn dude helluva story... from one addict/alcoholic to another, glad you made it out of that hell. It's so baffling how deep we'll go. Super stoked on you man ❤

[@JBlack-i6e]

Sick episode. I loved all his World industry boards growing up. Not I know the back story to them... FLORIDA MAN.

[@franciscooliveira4149]

Trying to do a 50-50 grind on a rail... Instead got 50-50 stitches in the face... 😶

[@SeanDaRyan]

100 stitches!

[@NealMimsSkateAcademy]

I actually never thought of that myself, but damn…the universe works in mysterious ways.

[@buildingyourbrand7832]

One of the raddest interviews! Neal Mims is definitely one of the most awesome skaters of our time!!

[@jasonfiveash7454]

A true friend..amazing athlete...set bar so high in skating threw the 80s 90s 2000s .Neil's accomplishments in obtaining his dreams to be one of the best ever on a board has made him a street skate legend...

[@torisanders9150]

Thank you for every episode though!

[@retrosmodernlife8705]

Thank you guys so much for another amazing episode! You guys always make great sh!t but to be bringing awareness to addiction & mental health like you guys do is just so sick. Really dope having back to back episodes that really reach out with these guys telling stories and life experiences, that can't be easy for them to talk about but are also super inspiring just listening to them talk about real life. Sometimes people just need to know they're not alone in what ever they're struggling with. Again I say thanks fellas & a special, special, special 😉 thanks to Neal!!

[@kalebvanniel1724]

Love you neal! About 10 years ago or so Neal would give me private lessons, I felt fortunate enough to learn from him.

[@neal-mims]

Love you too my man. Proud of you!

[@Thurston86]

Feedback was a big deal for me because it was my first skateboarding vid! I still have it and watch it fairly often especially before going out for a session.

[@stp91-78]

Helps me a lot I go back to this nights I ponder having a drink, no thanks. Thank you Neal

[@robypatterson]

Another great one ! Keep it coming. Thank you

[@retrosmodernlife8705]

That ending was priceless, Crob's face 🤣🤣🤣

[@Elraurko]

Was at the black label v deca demo in Perth. One of the best demos of all time

[@matthewwilson8897]

Dude - one of the best episodes ever man this was so real and genuine. Sometimes when you see the new episode of the Nine Club on your feed its a big name you recognize and sometimes its one your less familiar with, but you check it out anyways. I remember Neal Mims from Feedback but didnt know anything about his story and man this episode was just so engaging from the second it started. Thank you for sharing your story Neal and thanks for giving him a platform Nine Club. Tons to take from this for skateboarding fans and just for life in general

[@brettdonahue876]

Check out his feedback part. Still holds up to this day.. beast.. 9 club best podcast ever, need more merch, it's all selling out but that's a good thing too....

Transworld The Reason I think was the one where he got stuck on that 50-50 down a big ass steep rail. Straight to the face. Gnarliest wipe out to see at my early days of skating. Edit...commented just before they said “was that in The Reason?……” haha. Hell Yeah.
