This show deserves an award, the way some of these skaters have bared their souls on the show, is a thing of beauty.

Yea the shits so awesome how they get it . 🍻🙋

[@MartinKohoutekchannel]

Seriously. This isn't just about "skateboarding". It way more than that in a sence. The value of this show is skyrocketing with every new episode. It's a legacy, chunk of important history preserved for future generations. I love it

[@drewfinn2]

agreed, skateboarders are very passionate and incredibly human individuals. it’s the nature of the sport in how its just you, the board and the obstacle ahead...

[@dudegerry9769]

Could not agree more

[@MichaeMichaelMichael]

For sure.

[@jonathansikes5200]

Around 2005 black label came through my local skate park for a demo (915 skate park greensboro nc). I asked ragdoll to do my voicemail on my phone. For at least 2 years. "Youve reached jonathans phone. Ive kidnapped him so hes not going to be picking up this piece of shit for a long time, you digg?" so epic

How could anyone have ever hated on is dude, he is flat out funny as hell. Big props to BA for making skaters share the love. Actual tears of laughter at the roller blade story. Pissed myself laughing again at almost being drowned and tugged to the bottom by his cinder block D3’s cliff diving. Legend making ragdolling with the Muska, The mini Muska, fake Muska, so many Muska’s, all aboard the Chadillac Muskalade! Great quote dude ‘own up to your arsehole-ism’ would be a great T-shirt. Crobin Hood, stories for days. And big props for sharing about fighting his demons. I would never have thought he had anxiety, he seemed really confident, and cool to see him in a much better place. It sometimes seems the hardest thing in the world, but talking is a really easy thing to do, don’t judge a book by its cover and don’t be afraid to live. Good words to live by. Oprah got nothing on the Nine Club. Hugs from London and keep riding the wave bro.

[@drewfinn2]

cheers mate and big ups to the skateboarding community...always gnarly whether it’s tricks, style, or sharing the love bc love wins !!!

Proud of you for talking about this shit man. Takes a brave person to jump down stairs and a brave person to talk about this. you've definitely helped folks by being open about it

This is my favorite Nine Club episode so far. Ragdoll seemed like a character, but in reality is a great dude. Loved watching him in his prime and loved listening to him talk here. Thanks Nine Club.

[@brothaclutch984]

When Ragdolls talking about his troubles and problems, I think that’s the most I’ve related to a skaters issue during the interview minus the bulimia. I’ve never been a big fan, but I was familiar with him before the episode and this episode gave me a new appreciation for the 9 club by providing a platform for him to show he’s just a normal person who has had his own issues and I appreciate him being brave enough to speak out on his issues he’s dealt.

[@AlexG1020]

Yeah I was not expecting to cry during a freaking nine club interview

[@thomasrainbow]

You know what... When you are open and do speak about your issues it lets people empathize with you and able to put together the pieces why you might be a certain way. We're all fascinating people especially because of our faults and how we overcome them.

[@joshmccrow7109]

Dude seriously, this episode had me in tears. I had no idea about Ragdoll. Just sort of wasn’t on my skate radar as I’m an older dude. To listen what he went through hit home with me and really struck a nerve. Thank you.

What I knew about Ragdoll before this was fairly vague. After this episode he's now one of my favorite dudes. I know depression and I know hard times. Something I've learned is that the sun still gonna shine. So shine with that shit and live. Him saying dont be afraid to live resonates with me heavily.

That’s cool they had the “Why So Sad” board in the back. Skateboarding is so cool how it connects people from every walk of life. I skated the Stanton park the other day with a dude from Costa Rica, a dude from Korea, a punk rock girl, and her boyfriend. We skated the park, took turns, shared laughs, and just had a great time. I can’t think of anything else that can connect people like skateboarding.

[@infamousink]

I’ve seen almost every episode. Some were of my favorite skaters and filmers growing up, and some that I don’t even know. Don’t really know Ragdoll but can say this is my favorite episode. Skateboarding brings us together. But it’s episodes like this that makes us feel like we’re not alone. Thanks.

Rewatching 6 months later, Ragdoll is such a positive force and his video parts are insane

My first video was “Digital All Stars” and I loved his part. Then I saw the black out video a couple years later, bought some checkered slip ons, and learned fire crackers. Easily one of the most influential skateboarders for me.

God damn, been watching the show just about since day one, actually listened to the podcast version of this one on a long drive (6 + hours (I’m from Texas)) home yesterday, and this one just hit different. What a sweet, genuine guy. Big love for you Anthony, takes a lot of balls to lay it on the line like that, and i can definitely say you helped at least one person to take a look on the brighter side. Very inspiring; and a very, VERY good listen, especially if you’ve ever felt disenchanted or just bummed on life in general. Good shit boys, killed it with this one.
