[@LLusion]

this is the only podcast i like to sit and watch, rather than just listen. Especially when Mike V is here. great episode 🙏🏻

[@quackapatth]

gotta see their expressions and stuff great video podcast

[@travispassmore7093]

Can Mike just be a monthly guest? He's such a great guy and I could listen to his stories every day.

[@SkinnySkates]

Hey. Mike is a businessman man now. Ask if he can be a guest 3 times per fiscal quarter. 😂

[@danstheworst]

Jeron is such a friendly face, he really carries himself well and i really enjoy hearing what he has to say

[@marcmartinez8233]

The most humble dude that is one of the best to ever do it!

[@jordanballard8527]

[@gigipus50meier21]

The love Mike has for skateboarding is above and beyond.

[@scottishinglish331]

Facts. Amen

[@sethmichaelpinder]

I had the pleasure of seeing Mike V on the Bones Brigade tour in 88 in upstate NY. He did this 10 foot wallride off a launch ramp. Then wallied off the side only to level his board out for the most flush landing! It was the most athletic move I've ever seen live. That move has stuck with me for 34 years. Dude was just so far ahead of everyone else there skating. Super nice as well. He just talked and hung out with every skater there. Glad you're doing well kind sir.🤙🤙

[@pauliewalnuts5241]

I saw Mike V live and he's a beast

[@tetheredstar3987]

Mike Vallely is an absolute legend. Love this guy & everything he has done for skateboarding

[@stevecokonis80]

Mike V was the best skate demo I ever want to in my hometown. He skated the entire park and the parking lot. He broke his arm in the demo and even kept skating. LEGEND.

[@dcross8382]

Questions from the discord is a genius move, really great way to connect the viewers and the guests and dig into some new topics. Great stuff!

[@carsoncalhoun6196]

9.5 total hours of Mike V on Nine Club. Hell yeah.

[@MrOuest]

I was half expecting another 5hr marathon with Mike Vallely.

[@Rand_al_Thor372]

I was hoping but, alas, not this time.

[@solidrock6524]

[@fiore_adriano]

Mike V is the best. Such a good outlook on life and great energy.

[@Rand_al_Thor372]

Always a guaranteed good time when Mike V is in the hot seat, such a legendary career in skating and took zero shit from security guards. Love this guy.

[@jeffrittenour8202]

Mike V is easily one of the best story tellers in all of skateboarding. These conversations are so important bc once all the founding fathers are gone, these recordings and videos are all we will have left to teach the history of skateboarding.

[@sbshoemaker5768]

Love Mike’s stories… such a solid, but humble point of view. I’ll support him in anything he does! Getting a pair of his shoes for sure. Next episode should be 6 hours!

[@rkulla]

Mike V episodes are always on another level. Please do that collab board!

[@armin38822]

This man is 51 years old and looks great. I'm inspired. I'm 28 and the idea of growing old scares the shit out of me.

[@UrbanOutlawsSk8Co]

I'm 35 and I still skate everyday. I even still do big drops. Just don't ever let off the gas and old age will never catch up to you

[@armin38822]

@@UrbanOutlawsSk8Co I'm 28 and if I don't stretch,sleep right and actually take time to warm up with my skating,then I basicly can't skate.

[@jimcsax]

Mike is the man. Love that he mentions Hosoi. I always thought his style translated to street really well, and he had a real creative and natural approach/ability to skating it. I love watching the 80;s streetstyle contests...Savannah etc...

[@carolynberge2919]

Mike, my dude, anytime you’re willing to talk, we will ALL be out here listening. Ain’t no Nine Club like a Mile V. Nine Club ❤️

[@subSB]

That's so weird, Chris! I flipped over a car as well when I saw the Mike V stop n chat thumbnail! So excited to watch this.

[@bryanmatos5472]

I literally JUST finished watching Mikes 5 hours video for the first time, and looked down to see this being posted 1 hour before. Amazing day.

[@Bigwheel414]

That street plant x 9 club collab should really go down. I know for a fact that it would sell!

[@abbeyglencircle]

Nice to see OG skater (s) on this channel.

[@Beardy319]

On the team skating into a wall 😂 Always love to hear Mike V talk 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@bricemenaugh4828]

I have so many street plant boards. I love these boards so much!! Great quality and great customer service.

[@HansDC]

One of my favourite skaters for life since I discovered skateboarding in the late 80's. Mike V forever!

[@susanwojcicki5714]

just discovered this guy cause of BATB (new skater) it was a treat watching that crazy battle and i like this guys company. this is why skaters need to work together cause one vid can change my life

[@spoot0590]

11 year old me was thrilled to see Mike V. on the Tony Hawk tour at Woodward. I still have the poster hanging on the wall in my garage with Mike's and many others Autographs

What???? LFG so stoked 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🍻

Christian was the first to go over the wall??? Crazy, I did not expect that

Mike Vallely: Longest Nine Club in show history! ☑️ Mike Vallely: Most appearances on the show to date! Working on it!

[@featurescreatures]

I second getting Svitak on. He’s a really fucking down to earth and interesting dude

[@burger1113]

This might be one of the only "hangout" type of podcasts that works. The chill+cool factor is multiplied by 10 with guys like Mike V, obviously.

[@peterrichter3174]

Love the show! Mike V is just the best... and he truly represent what core skate was, is and should always be! Nineclub should make him a co-host

[@markvincent5127]

I know a lot of people will be as disappointed as me that this is "only" 2hrs long. Mike - we are more than happy to hear from you. Such great tales, so committed to the sport.

[@wallacebv6909]

Love seeing Mike stop by. One of the greats.

[@PokeZodiac]

How do i not immediately stop what im doing and dedicate all my attention to this.. i do

[@Outtallectuals]

The only other thing I know from Des Moines now except Mike V is Slipknot. Fits the bill!

Probably one of the best story tellers of all time

definitely a stretch lol so many good authors and speakers, shakespeare, 2pac, the BIBLE, stanley kubrick, etc....

Mike V should actually working at Thé Nine Club. He's always my fav guest.

[@johnnyresin]

Pleeeeeease get Svitak on the show! His and Mike's parts in "Label Kills" are my favorite skate video parts ever. So much so that I currently ride a Mike V/Svitak Friendship deck from Streetplant 💚

[@RevanMartinez]

His Black Out part is one my favorites!!! The only skate vhs I had for a while and watched it on repeat. That long ass board slide at the end is sick as fuck

[@Mathertron]

"Hey Dude, Come over here and unlock me!" Class :D

[@Frank.E.Valley]

"Everyone I've talked to has a face."

[@ragnarsilverboard6803]

Man I feel better, Mike V doesn't even know who half the current skaters are. That is DEFINITELY the biggest change. No way we didn't know everyone at a contest 10 yrs ago. The Olympics - who the fuck are 90% of these people?

[@EduardoSantos-eu7eq]

Hands down best storyteller in Skateboarding. I just got his new shoes and they skate amazing. Congrats Mike... much respect!

[@conorprovan9435]

Thanks to the 9 club for having Mike on. The first time i thot heres mr angry. After hearing i went out and bought 2 of his boards from Powell. I am 50 and starting skating again. And respect the stories the drive the life the man.

[@ou95grad]

You should do a Nine Club tour...I'm sure there's tons of people (like me) that would pay to hear you talk live. Mike V would definitely have to be a part of it.

[@Frank.E.Valley]

I want a joint Nine Club and Comedy Bang Bang tour. And they never let you know which people are from what side

[@realhatchethead]

Holy crap. that foot injury. I feel your pain. I did that exact same thing to my left foot. Then one year later did it to my right foot. toes down, heel up and sat on it both times. My left foot is still weird sometimes. Makes some gnarly pops and aches. It's all good tho'. 51 and still skating!.

[@jacklingenfelter7765]

count me in on the collab board! haha I want one, take my money

[@saughs]

Mike V living in Des Moines made me want to do a little road trip there. Only like 4 hours from me, so I’m planning on checking it out next month.

[@a_squuared7530]

Sick dude. Have fun.

[@about80crickets]

7.5 total hours without a beverage (so far) Mike V is a man of integrity and determination

[@jaymccolister607]

Love when Vallely is on. I liked his show Drive

[@RevanMartinez]

Yeah that was a really cool show. Seemed down to earth

[@mitch3384]

Mike, your Suburban Diners part was like my training manual as a grom man. Don't think I saw it here in New Zealand till '96, it made me stop spending all my time practicing tricks and just go out and ride, and appreciate the street. I'm stoked life is good for you bro.

[@SkinnySkates]

Mike's Cariuma shoe is the greatest skate shoe I've ever had. I hit the skatepark for 3 hours on the first day, and my skating was instantly better. Like, noticably. Consistency and stylistically, everything felt better. SUPER comfortable and supportive, everything you need with nothing extra to get in the way. Also, I probably did 150 flip tricks and attempts, and there was barely even a scuff. No holes. No rips. No severed shoelaces. I got home and ordered 2 more pairs immediately (they're 50% off right now, which is the same as buy 1 get 1 free).

[@BobWeaver3000]

only 30min in.... god dam this is great episode! Mike V rules!!! Future Primitive 4lyphe!!!

[@Rand_al_Thor372]

Wore that vhs tape out TWICE from over watching it, especially the Tommy G part!!! Lance's part got pretty abused as well just cuz Lance rules.

[@itburnswhenip.7217]

His part in New deal 1281 hands down just AMAZING!!! I love his vert skills too Don't sleep on it.

[@oraziohall2969]

I love Mike V. I hated him for no reason as a teen, love him for many reasons now as an adult.

[@xfaded1x]

I was the same way In jr high around 98-99.. It wasnt till years and years later i could see how cool of a dude he actually is and hilarious too

[@oraziohall2969]

Nice I was in jr high around 06 -07. Hes been around for as long as street skating has existed so no wonder he had 5 hours of gold to tell last time

[@joshgotter4922]

I know I’m not the only one praying this 9club streetplant collaborator happens oh fuck!

[@srvmotoman]

Seriously, that Barnyard graphic with The Nine Club and MikeV...HELLZ YEEEEW! There are soooooooooooooo many skaters that could barnyard characters. HOLY CRAPPERS!!! What a great idea!! I reeeeeeeeeally hope that comes to be.

I remember the Mastership in Dortmund/Germany in 99. There was an awesome concert with Rollins Band and Motorhead. In the middle of Rollins Band Mike V. suddenly stood next to me. In the pit carrying his daughter. He had a clear circle of 2 meters around him. Nobody came close. His look and appearance were really amazing. Damn that was nuts 😄✌️

[@bartlomiejmilczarek223]

Love that! I'm a big fan of Mike V since beginning. Big inspiration.

[@robertparsons7627]

I’m buying the nine club barn yard if ya make it.

[@VicVegaTW]

It warmed my heart the first time I saw Mike 1v4, mostly because as a skater all my friends were such pacifists and would get pushed around by everyone. It was nice to see the shoe on the other foot for once.
