Chris Haslam | The Nine Club With Chris Roberts - Episode 132

[@sageandstone]

You guys are documenting skateboard history that otherwise would never be known to most people, one week at a time. Thank you and keep killing it!

I quit skating 6 years ago when my Daughter was born, I’m a over the road truck driver now and The Nine Club is an EXCELLENT source of material for me to listen to while driving, THEE perfect podcast for me. You guys are doing great things!

[@thomasjevyak3603]

Get a board and put it in the semi and Cruz around v when u have a chance. Always fun just riding

[@davbradley23]

Im OTR as well. If you ever see me skating at the truck stop I always have numerous boards. Dont be afraid to ask me for one.

[@aronious291]

Do you guys get paid good as truck drivers? I might get my cdl to try and pay for college

[@reza_dc2]

@@aronious291 Decent money but away from home weeks at a time. Unless you do something local.

Gets to me when people quit. I was forced to quit through bad injury 18 years ago. I would give anything to just be able to cruise a skatepark. I get that kids can take your time though

His part in Almost Round 3 got me so pumped to skate when I was young!

[@thecraigpaul6799]

BroWithBigHeart same man, I used to watch it every single day!

[@nolliebags]

3 years later from your comment….. isn’t it insane? When I first saw that part I was like “this dude is elite” it’s so rad to hear the story of it all. He’s so humble

[@bennysnickers7886]

Haslam is way too humble about the progression he brings. Ps get Daewon on next

[@masonmcconnell9375]

If they could follow up with song that would be epic

[@LiamCuthbert]

it seems the almost trio are all so humble about how good they are, him Daewon and rodney

[@IDiggPattyMayonnaise]

@@LiamCuthbert Character definitely shows in your skating. Those three are three of the most creative skaters in history and three of the most humble, not a coincidence. Then you have people like Nyjah...

[@bennysnickers7886]

I think that's why Shane gets a lot of support, he's the closest to those 3 in wizardry but is humble af too.

I can't describe how much I enjoy this show. The sheer fact that you get to listen to your favorite skaters' life stories is just mind-blowing. The nine club deserves a lot more viewership, I really wish to see you guys grow more than ever. Thank you to the The nine club crew. Keep up that amazing work.

[@briandarabaca]

Chris Haslam is the ONE who inspired me to ride a skateboard! Thanks a lot, The Nine Club!

[@TIGERGUTS]

How can you not like this guy. What a champion!

[@fastdar]

I went for dinner with the indy team once in Bristol (Grosso, Steve Olson, French, Stu Graham and others who I cannot remember... Dressen maybe?) anyway Haslam was on this tour also and we all went to eat at Wagamama, which is a pretty nice Asian/noodle/japanese type joint and a really nice place to eat.. Haslam went off on his own and bought a Subway instead.. True Story....

[@LEdHeadW]

I just got off a long 12 hour shift at the hospital, hit the morning rush hour with tons of new snow and a slow commute. Didn't mind at all with this new episode. Amazing interview, Haslam is such a rad and interesting dude. Not even finished watching yet but no way I'm going to sleep before this is done. Thanks Nine Club, I love the show so much!

[@nanceydrew5932]

Hey, weird story, but at the end of Cheese and Crackers, after the credits, they did some tricks on an off-road skateboard.....that was my dad's company. I've been trying to find a hard copy of that video for years, but can't seem to track one down.

[@tomsandersjr.7637]

That was the Dirty Cheese section. I own that video, along with Almost Round 3 and Red Dragons, and would never part with them LOL. Those 4x4 boards were sick.

[@izbjacob]

Special guest after special guest... you guys are killing it! Love from Australia

[@FarmageddonRecordsOfficial]

I think it would be rad if you guys threw in pictures and short video clips here and there 🤙🏻

[@quinnmichael2657]

They do that on the experience. I think they just want a raw interview on here and it cuts down on editing time, since it's released weekly. I'd like it too though, I'm always pausing to google stuff during the episodes and half the time I can't even find it.

[@Dsaucey]

I love how this dude says moves instead of tricks. What a non-conformist

[@phxnigtmare]

People used to say moves all the time. Its not that he's a non-conformist. It's just how him and his friends spoke.

[@dumbstupid5065]

Old school.

[@meiphukingdiqq]

Probably has something to do with being Canadian. Different places have different lingo.

[@theman5221]

Yeah man, if you got the right moves, you can do that too

[@RLeezyDeezy]

well it is a movement

Omg Haslam has inspired me so much and he seems a nice guy, thank you nine club for bringing this legend. He is the most complete skateboarder EVER #respect

[@HAKKY2112]

Amazing!!! The Haslam! Chris from the Richmond park!!!! The sickest dark slide the other day. Wow. Chris flowed me so much gear, pants, wheels, etc. He was a figure at our skate park.

Saskatoon to Niagara Falls is only a 15 minute drive (25 minutes by dog sled, 40 by canoe) depending on the weather. Should have checked it out when you had the chance Chris Roberts.

[@City2x]

Guys. I just wanna say I'm thankful for what you're doing! The world of skateboarding is so deep and fascinating. It's so dope to get these interviews and hear all the backstories etc.... Salute!

[@MartinKohoutekchannel]

His mindset seems to be just like the one skaters had when I was starting to skate. I mean like really thinking about skating, analyzing it almost, discussing it with friends, and doing all just for the sake of it. For the fun. I love Chris Haslam. And fun (and maybe little wierd) side note - he is the only one pro skater, that appeard in my dream once. We skated the mini ramp obviously, but I'm thinkig of that dream like it's some kind of real and cool memory from my childhood. So yeah, he has a special place in my heart! :) Thank you Nine club, you've done it again!

[@erichanhauser3190]

Two weeks in a row with people i really wanted to hear from! killing it with the interviews

[@Poserinc]

Who remembers him skating Richmond park in van city!?!?

[@jasondashney]

10:00 . Chris, hell no. You have it so wrong. When Chris moved to Vancouver there'd be these rumours of this kid who was so good from Singapore just destroying it. I remember the first time seeing him skate and was one, really surprised he was white and two, blown away. Somebody pointed him out and the first trick he did was a really good flip back lip on this pyramid with a big bar on top and it went from there. He was fucking amazing. He may have felt out of place but he was the goods, make no mistake. I've filmed him do some NBD's and he just lands, smiles and doesn't think it's a big deal. He's a great guy to skate with, especially if you suck. I'm awful at mini but I've skated with him and he didn't make me feel like I was anything but a peer. You don't feel self conscious when skating with him even though he's so much better than you. Great guy. Update: 31:35 Funny he mentions the flip back lip flip out because I filmed that (was thinking about that one as one of the NBD's I filmed of him). Then at 32:58 he talks about Deca and I was bummed because I was going to get him on Maple but he said he was just getting a good feel with Deca and was probably going to get on, so we just barely missed out on Haslam after all his struggles to get on somebody for so long.

[@mr.surprise2341]

I think Haslam inspired alot of the new generations street skating among a few other people. Stoked to see him on the show!

[@JaymzMorrow]

Feels weird hearing Chris Roberts talk about Ontario.. super cool love the mix love the show! Chris Haslam very cool

great talk + props for having his dog leash always with him.... ;) ps. how isn t any company giving this guy money ???!!!

[@MartinKohoutekchannel]

Thank you for this, sincerely!

[@thriftstoredan5828]

Me: I've always loved how Chris has that homeless guy aesthetic. Me at 50:10: oh my God it's not an aesthetic, it's a lifestyle.

[@carlospereiravazquez1032]

I only watched 5 minutes and I already know this is gold

[@tim1309]

I love how Wizard master Haslam calls his tricks "Moves".

[@rickliu1404]

He snapped his board when he filmed in my college in China about ten years ago , he gave it to someone and that guy sold it to me. Remember there was a shinny huge Indy round sticker at back, and it’s a 8.2 deck I think, I was skating 7.5 then. And every time I did a trick I got to check if the board was okay. I skated it for two months. Best time.

[@Napelius]

get arto saari on!!!

[@davidwasneverthere8149]

That would be sick!

[@theman5221]

[@Napelius]

yeah, probably true. major bummer

[@oz-1037]

In sorry they say he almost died twice filming that video. We all know the one story but I've always wanted to hear the other

[@NickCADA]

I met Chris back in 2008. He is honestly an incredibly nice guy, very willing to sign my skateboard.

[@livibam]

Ive always called a darkslide with one foot in the middle a Rowley darkslide unless it has another name.

He's definitely one of those skaters that always brings something badass to the world, he's like a mad scientist.

[@concreteexplodergun]

Haslam came to Kamloops BC Canada in his "Tear away" days. One man demo with a couple of shop kids back in 2003 or 2004. The crowd were asked to call out tricks, and one kid called out a 360 flip tailgrab...Yeah right. Haslam drops in on a vert wall quarter pipe towards a kicker to kicker setup. He was going so fast he cleared the second kicker to flat 15 ft 360 flip tailgrab first try. I couldn't believe it. Truly can not understand the raw talent until you see this guy rip in person. Absolutely incredible ledgedary skateboarder.

[@skatechatham]

It's funny that he mentioned Pizza Hut, back in the late 90's my friend lived near the Pizza Hut on Wonderland in London, we used to occasionally skate a gap there and one day he was there and a dude showed up that had moved from somewhere to go to school, and was ollieing it with ease. I think he may have skated with him another time as well. I ran into Chris at Slam City 2001 and got a picture with him (shaved head period) and we chatted a bit about the area (he had lived in Byron right beside London) but I never put together the Pizza Hut thing till later. I'm guessing it was him though. A couple of the London homies had heard stories of Chris doing stuff like 360 flipping off the Vic Park stage barefoot, sort of an urban legend in those days lol.
