Jason Adams | The Nine Club With Chris Roberts - Episode 268

[@drippyscratchcat]

SUCH a difference between "needing" to get sober and actually WANTING to. It definitely took me years to go from needing to wanting to. Then it all changed. BEST decision ever. Props to Jason for being rigorously honest and vulnerable about such personal issues. Great attitude and very positive dude, in general. And of course, a GREAT skater.

His part in label kills was the first part I ever saw. It still sticks with me. And you can see his style seeping back into skating nowadays which I think is the coolest development in the gen z skate world

[@c1dtl39]

His “Label Kills” part was doooope and the song tied so well with it! I’d love to hear him and Lucero go into the backstories for that part.

[@beardandhat]

Just need Lucero on.

[@Bye_Good]

Yesss and Ben Gilleys part with the slayer song. Such an iconic film. Worshipped that VHS. Wish I still had it. Can you buy it on DVD anyone know?

[@c1dtl39]

@@Bye_Good idk if they made a DVD version honestly man. I think some parts if not the full video is on KZbin

at the 1:30.00 mark and on....i love you guys...been a nine club fan since day one....been a skateboarder since 86 and im 44 now....been a addict since the age of 12 but sober now for quite some time....and yes...this podcast and these conversations help so many including myself....people feel alone alot and like they are the only ones dealing with struggle so its magic listening to others of your kind and mindset to speak about real issues...much love to everyone...stay rad dudes and dudettes

[@njgrind]

I remember when Bag of Suck came out, I was in middle school and a couple years into skating, and Enjoi was coming to Sayreville NJ for a demo. Jay Adam’s came through and shredded the hardest while being everywhere with every kid, including myself getting a photo and encouragement to continue skating. Dude was a professional as it gets that day and I’ll always remember

[@dneck]

not to correct you but did Jason ever go as Jay? Or are you confusing him with the Dogtown Venice guy?

[@danthegeetarman]

My favorite skater!! So much style!! Skateboarding & punk rock 🖤 glad to see him doing great 🙏🙏🙏💪💪💪

[@tunelowplayslow5623]

Radical acceptance and action in the right direction is one of life's most difficult challenges. Right on Jason.

[@xn-triq7607]

It's so great to hear from someone relatable & honest! I've been here, and tbh I'm still swapping substance for substance... Literally everything he's saying is absolute truth! Any youth's out there, don't even start using anything! Even drinking on the weekend, or a cheeky little..😳.. Just have fun with your own personality! Don't ever start getting messed up to fit in, be more fun, or confident, happy, brave, fearless, etc, etc.... Nothing is more important or interesting than the real you! No matter how much you think you're more fun & confident when buzzed... trust me, nobody else is agreeing with you!!

[@ittwsasvi]

Best two weeks in a row of the show, Glen and now Jason again is a combo of awesome people.

[@sergeyrumyantsev7063]

same thoughts here man, what an inspiiring two

[@mattsharkeyoutside]

Best dude. Always has been. Never chased a trend, just brought his version of skateboarding to all of us and stamped it as uniquely his. Thanks for decades of inspiration Kid, great to see you thriving.

[@johnnypea43]

So inspiring to see Jason back. I also really enjoyed Chris speaking with Jason about their mutual passion for curbs. This was a good one.

[@Josehernandezpga]

JASON LOOKS AWESOME

[@708Drojo]

The kid!!! His Label Kills part inspired me so much as a kid and as someone who went sober about 5 years ago he continues to inspire!! We love you Jason!!

[@dave_waite]

So good to see Jason happy and healthy! Slappy hour!

[@nathanskates98]

It's always amazing to hear about the success stories of people overcoming addiction, so many shows and articles etc of ppl who fail to addiction, they need more success stories to positively influence ppl. His episode and others like it will help people.

[@rkulla]

Awesome! Can't believe it's been 4 years since his last Nine Club interview already

[@Arkansauce76]

Kulla...send $500 to the nine club. Thanks. Fart

[@Bonabice]

I went back to check the episode from 4 years ago. Im really happy with the progress his doing to be sober

[@thomasbambrick1162]

Jason has been a skater I've been inspired by ever since '91 when I got into skateboarding. Im 37 now and haven't quit skating and skate with my kids. Its awesome to still be inspired by Jason. And congratulations to him for conquering alcoholism👏👍

[@MASTAKILLA909]

OGGG still get stoked to see this guy skate. Happy to hear that he’s healthy 🙌🏽💪🏽 congrats Jason. One day at a time

[@BobWeaver3000]

Lucero w/ Jason Adams-hand holding LFG!!!!! thanks fellers, enjoyed the hell outta this one!

[@psarekt4591]

good on him to be so open. nine club tackling real life things 1000. now have him review his bag of suck part!

[@Doubleshuv]

Tony Larson and Evan Hecox are legends. Girl and Chocolate were lucky to have such amazing artists cranking out graphics. They had some incredible deck series over the years: Mid Century, Sunset, Modern chair, modern home, City.

[@erichanhauser3190]

The Hecox graphics are exceptional. First thing I thought of when Crob mentioned boards and value.

[@greenripper420]

I Love You Jason Adams 408 represent!!

[@spencermocassin]

It all about being stylish....cant wait to watch Lucero and Hensley episode 👌👌👌

[@amoeba_x]

Yo honestly s/o to the ol’buddies who donate. As someone who can do way better financially than I am currently, I really admire those actions because they’re basically the people putting their money into something pure that makes them feel good and happy to pay for. I love the nine club & friends so much.

[@xDEATHbySTEREOxX]

the love shown for andy anderson is amazing too....skateboarding is about being free and expressing yourself in anyway you see fit with no judgements and andy is the face of that...he is "love of skateboarding" in the fullest

[@bummerflip]

Holy shit man. I’m 28. Went to rehab at 25 a few times but have 2.5 years now. Was up to a handle jug of vodka too. Hospital stays. All that stuff. I needed to hear this today man! Thanks guys

[@cromag_jetlag9079]

So much love to Jason Adams man. This dude is one of my childhood heroes. Disturb not the sleep of death was one of the first videos that I actually owned and as soon as The Damned kicked on for Jason's part I was hooked. Such a legend to me. Love this interview and seeing the change in him over the past 4 years.

[@adamsunderland0823]

Love Jason Adams. Such a real and pure skater.

[@HaveUseenHim]

What a rad conversation that was ✌🏻❤️🛹

[@Camnok]

Jason is the man!!! ❤🎉

[@artytheonemanparty]

So I’m 40 and haven’t skated in 10 years. In the 235 lbs. it’s so hard to skateboard these days but I want to get back to it so bad. I’ve been trying, I miss it. Shout out to the dudes that are trying to make that self come back 👊🏽🛹

[@BentMode1989]

Thanks! Shout out to The Nine Club!!

[@thenineclub]

Thank you SO MUCH for the support!!!

[@marcobottari4257]

Great episode especially for someone with manic depression and substance abuse problems. You guys have gotten me threw plenty of tough spots

[@justinlewis4376]

This episode was fantastic. That section where y'all talked about inspiring people to skate...100% spot on. The Lance Mountain Nine Club episode was the reason I got back into skating and watching Jason Adams got me so hyped on curbs and just skating as an older dude. And yeah, because of all that I am skating with my kids and trying to pass on that joy. Props

[@___cvrlo9947]

Drinking Has Slowly Become Somewhat Of An Issue Recently/Again. Didn't Know He Would Be Talking About Sobriety & I Didn't Know That It Would Be A Discussion I Needed To Hear. Gotta Love That Kinda Perfect Timing. Thanks For The Episode. Sidebar, A Brandon Novak Episode Would Be Incredible Now That I'm Thinkin About It

[@SlobZombie]

Dude it hit me as therapeutic too God Bless bro

[@Leslie-n4g]

Early mid 2000s I saw Jason and Tony T on a Vans trip I think it was. I was blown away watching them in person. They definitely made you remember the 70s and 80s style of skateboarding. They had the style flow and aggression from those eras that you did not see at the time. Jasons a classic original stylemaster

[@danieldeville7813]

Labelkills is my favorite part of jason adams cuz he hits all my hometown spots. Seaside. Monterey. Salinas. It made me realize that we had shit here at home and made me love skateboarding here

[@P1Brand]

Hell yes...Jason, thanks for talking about your struggles and recovery. It might inspire others to seek the support they need...I'm stoked your friends stepped up to help you. Looking forward to the next curb session!

[@scottieskatan4219]

Great show lads and please please get Matt on...

[@adamconstantine1984]

Thanks for sharing another great inspirational video guy's. Jason your skateboarding and art has always been a driving force in the community of artist's

[@jasonschwartz9443]

Hensley playing the Nine Club music with a accordion comment by Kelly brought tears of laughter. 😂

[@ToddJackson-hg8px]

Inspired 110% ... I was born I San jose but went to high-school in Vacaville in the 80s and can relate to the SC and valley rub and also with sobriety. I'm sober for 5years in April and life is better and have become the best version of myself. Slappy hour for life !!! Never stop sk8in

Pig Wheels "all systems go!" was such a great way to get introduced to your skateboarding as a kid. Been such a fan ever since. Your Label Kills part is still one of my favorite parts of all time.

[@B0NGERSON]

Jason Adams is the man, also please please have him do a board set up video for the more nine club channel.

[@erichanhauser3190]

You all are definitely an inspiration. We thank you for the greatness & stoke. No joke. To quote Brian Wenning, "For The Culture". All my tattoos are Skatboarding Skars. For life. Rolling or not, it's a big part of my life. Keep rolling.

This is inspiring! Jason Adams rules! Once again Nine club you do not disappoint!

When the skaters would bring in present and the 9 would give back. That was a in great spirit

god, talking about feeling like he couldn't compete with the Zero days, becoming a parent. i'm not a parent but i'm 37, no longer skateboard, and have no idea to feel about the progression happening now. this interview was a gift

[@OutwestPanAndProspect]

Just want to add this, benzo (Xanax) withdrawals can kill you as well. Benzo's are also used to treat alcohol withdrawals. Be sure to be under medical supervision while detoxing from either of them.

[@WoodPusher18]

This is true as I personally was addicted for 4-5 years , decided to get sober 3 months back cold turkey, definitely don't suggest doing color turkey but it's better than continuing on and not having motivation to skate, best three months I've had on my board out of the last 4 years and I don't plan on returning to that stuff ever again💪

[@OutwestPanAndProspect]

@@WoodPusher18 Glad you are doing well now. I just wanted to say NO to quitting benzo's or alcohol cold turkey. It is dangerous as fuck. If someone is having severe alcohol withdrawals and calls 911 they will tell you to drink beer or whatever other alcohol on hand until the ambulance shows up. Personally I almost died twice from alcohol withdrawals. The first time was while under medical supervision in a detox facility, the second I was home alone. I fortunately had the knowledge to put some Xanax under my tongue and chug beer until help arrived.

[@DirtySk8RatStaney]

Love me some Jason Adams

[@tonyvolume666]

As a Sailor, hearing them describe being on the sea was hilarious. Yes, you can feel everything shift back and forth. I work on Container ships and military supply ships.

[@eek412]

Growing up Jason Adams was my favorite skater his style was like no other I swear he was doing Wally's and feeble grinds before most a true punk rocker

[@zentient1117]

Damn, I love this dude.

[@mitchelviolins210]

"I don't like your attitude, chris" 😂😂

[@danthegeetarman]

Would love a part 3 where he talks about the scarecrow and creature days. That was my favorite era of skating so hearing the history of how that all happened would be very cool 👍

[@edwintroy6957]

Always listen to this while I'm painting houses ..
