[@bendegros]

Cool! Those must be the new Chris Roberts Signature Thunder Indy’s👍

No way you designed this! I just skated my first one and its literally the best board Ive ever skated, thanks man

[@keithrandt7]

Man those indys look way better than any indys I've ever seen.

[@maxochavez5854]

Can we get his 7.75 set up next ? Love from Vegas love these set up videos from everyone!

Those sure look like thunders

[@chadstruzynski]

i can never tell when he's joking or not LOL "yeah i ride indies" xD

[@iamhanssolo]

My theory is he's been getting NHS/Indy checks for a while even though he's been skating other trucks for a minute. He's covering himself in the even they follow up on it lol. Either way still funny.

[@ashleyphillips9481]

Wouldn’t have him any other way lol

[@Peter-ff1tp]

@Idontcar33 😂 Wrong. Skateboarding is a business, if they didn’t pay their pros they wouldn’t have pros. Plain and simple.

[@dariusduvall4170]

Crob is the man!!! Also I love that switch flip manny!!!! That steez is insane… I love how it looks like a nose manual more than switch manual so damn sick!!!!!!❤🎉

[@yunglifty]

would love to have a series where the dudes set up their boards. kinda remember you guys doing a couple in the green room back in the day

[@johnbraukman4413]

I’ve skated two of these twin paddles and I absolutely love it.

[@wilbert-oppegard]

Love this!!!

[@johndoug4794]

Curious to find out Chris's backstory on Thunders being Indys Lol

[@ibookboyuk]

I absolutely love twin boards and can't wait to try Chris's. I have a town down the road that sells them so I'll support that skate shop. Always Indy. I'll try Spitfires this year.

[@Danny.Perez3204]

Just started trying out symmetrical shapes! Started with the Welcome Evil Twin 8.5, now on to the Crob 8.5! So far it’s been good! Has a very snappy pop!

[@gromitmitten7803]

Skating the 8.5 version right now. LOVE IT! 😁

[@foreroa]

Yeah me too. One of the very few 8.5s with a 14 inch wheelbase I've been able to find. Really like it.

[@stucat]

loved hearing this and hope we can get Chris talking about some of his past parts. Was wondering how long the bearing spin was going to sit hahaha

[@OmnikouraBB]

Lmao this reminded me of Bam in 411 trying to pretend he didn't have independent trucks on his board instead of destructo, too fucking funny.

[@astreet339]

Santa brought me one of these boards for you bday this past year. I love it! Super fun board.

[@thedudefmcdh6719]

I miss the old bridge bolts. I used put 1 right to left in the front and regular hardware on the rest. I used to think it helped grab the shoe for big Ollie's

[@ashleyphillips9481]

Hm maybe the cam angle was off but i didn’t catch the TNC logo on the grip. But damn those wheels/bearings sounded extra buttery. I loved seeing the Live Chris did a couple months ago where he did a chat and set up a new board. He showed us the rails trick he mentioned in this video. Loveeeee watching these videos. Keep ‘em coming! 🧡 Much love!

[@Myrrhoej]

Awesome video guys! Please do more of this!

[@Avilamatt86]

Show me the base plate lol 😂 .. I was like wait when did Indy start making clear bushings lol

[@amyp792]

Love you chris!! You're the man! 🤙😜

[@brokenoutline]

Love the switch flip switch manny in the intro ! Chris has gotten more miles out of that 5 second clip …than Kenny Anderson’s kick flip nose manual from Las Vegas to California. #Onestepbeyond

[@Kefacrow]

"Scroll back,you'll find the clips..." My new mantra!

[@RobertMaz]

You got me on the floor with your delivery on the trucks. 🤣

[@about80crickets]

Been skating only Indys for 18 years and I've never seen that word on my trucks before, so strange. Maybe I'll try some of those if my Independent Indys ever wear out. Definitely going to try a twin paddle at some point, just looking at them makes me want to skate

[@duffel567]

Those are the sickest Indy’s I’ve ever seen

[@m.e.5313]

This is what i been waiting for, daddies whip.

[@diplenski]

i use drywall screws for rails too, but i do them after the grip. and i grind down any high spots after snapping off the screws

[@oscarsalazar7658]

It says “in….duhpendent” Hahaha

[@r3ignt3rr0r]

Tip to try for the rails as well! Try using some heavy duty double sided tape. Put the tape on the rails, cut it to be flush with the size of the rail all the way around. Then peel the tape, place them on your deck, then screw them in!

[@nile1212]

LOVE that indy truck! one of a kind!

[@Undaoath]

I wanna try that twin paddle

[@recklesstoboggan]

"Independent" 🤣 Legendary.

[@wellsaidgoodheadfred9843]

I really want to try a twin board but I’m scared to deviate from what my bodies used to : dwindle decks. I tried a verb deck I got on sale, and it’s kicks were way higher than what I normally ride and it threw me off like crazy.

[@mariocristobalcolladoavile448]

Indies "Thunder" 😅

[@roryedmonds439]

I think he’s gonna say independent until Jim thiebaud comes on the show lol

[@MegaAppl3]

I did the same thing for my speaking class. So fun !

[@WingsBanquet]

where can i get this specific deck???

[@terenceflynn5125]

Was that a switch flip switch manny in the intro? It’s really cool, you should talk about it some time

[@SanDiego_VDubLife]

The best board set up video ever. I love hearing the mind of Roberts cuz we only hear him ask all the questions. As a matter of factly when are we gonna get a Nine Club episode of Roberts? Thanks for sharing dude, you don't seem like the type that likes to talk about himself, so I appreciate the courage to do this dude. Even though my handle is VW Life, I am actually a skater too, but I don't post enough skate content to change my handle to San Diego Skate Life. jaaa

[@r3ignt3rr0r]

Episode 500 or something like that should be him LOL

[@bakedbeings]

I use 1mm foam mounting tape under the rails. It makes them easier to position+screw, and even if a screw or two loosens it won't rattle.

[@pvtcantrell74d]

When are these going to be back in stock?

[@andrewdobosz3682]

That board got lovely little lumps... Check it out. 😆

[@DarwinBoys1]

Roger should do some tutorial video on how to put rail, how to fix spot etc, that would be very good contents

[@philtucker3429]

Dude! Until this video I assumed Chris was Rick McCrank. I haven't skateboarded for almost 20 years now. I have been watching The Nines Club clips on youtube lately and I was like wow thats so cool he is on a podcast now lol

[@LucasSilva-jq1ty]

YO IM DEAD THEY DO KINDA LOOK SIMILAR

[@adampaterson6784]

i love when he says he rides independent and you can literally see it say THUNDER

[@sk8erx0877]

I Skate Autobahns because of Chris 🙏🙏👊🏽

[@jcsk8]

This seems the perfect board. A twin with a nose/tail in between. Nice idea, Chris.

[@nick_stack37]

I think Koston used to be sponsored by Indy but would rides thunders, hence Crob saying he wants to be “just like koston”

[@ihaveaguylawnservices]

I ride "Indys" 🤣

[@a_lame_person_]

When i back into skating after surgery, I want to get into slappy's and shit too, but ngl those Indy's, they do the magic i bet

[@ryanrowe1975]

Cool setup!

[@knal8748]

I saw many skaters riding Chris Roberts twin puddle board in New York!

[@IvAn-jt2op]

This G069 shape is missing a bit of concave for me but I keep using it as it just work great for me. I am also big fan of twin givenoshit about if it is the nose or the tail. Both sides and trucks used equally.

[@frankcastle3827]

I would love to have the same set up but more concave

[@wmichelin93]

lmao the bushings

[@5ylan]

You got to remake the switch flip manual every birthday from now on

[@kekke8685]

Best guy ever

[@iamupinacloud]

CRob: "As for the trucks I ride um.. Independents." Camera: **slowly zooms in on the THUNDER base plate** At 6:26 - You know how some people listen to whale songs or a form of white noise to help them sleep? I would much prefer this sound on loop. It's soothing AF.. like ear Ativan. So props, Chris! I completely agree.

[@minilogoguy18]

Hopefully this board or at least it's shape stays in production for a long time. It's definitely one of the best boards I've ever ridden. No need to get used to it when it's new or anything, skates good right out of the box.

[@jaankungrockman1633]

[@408lurks]

[@slayer66t6]

Little tiny bit of shoe goo on the rails works instead of drywall screws

[@Joshua_Ott]

he rides thunder trucks but is more hyped for indy it seems, however if you're on crailtap you could possible get on royal if you don't get them indy's. keep rocking, love 9 club!!

[@crazycarlsadventures5983]

No body wants royals lol .. I used to ride them back in like 2004-2007 and I broke many pairs

[@Joshua_Ott]

@@crazycarlsadventures5983 i just recommended them to Crob simply because it seems he's looking for a truck sponsor and if he's on team crailtap he could get on the royal trucks since they are crailtap brand.🙂

Am i the only one who saw THUNDER on the baseplate but not independent

[@StumpyMason_]

Ahhhhhhh nice.

[@ResidenceRescueLLC]

Greatest board I've ever setup...I mean it was exactly the same...nose and tail!!

[@eval7952]

About the rails, do u have to get dry wall screws that go through the board, or can we just get smaller screws?

[@Brycethesk8r]

Honestly I'd use double sided tape under the whole length of the rail and then use the screws the rails come with

[@raskassputin7408]

I love that rails are cool now when i started I was called a poser for having them

[@powerboon2k]

This was so funny.

[@NikkyLickitung]

Blue poster tack works better for non rattling rails just a dab betweethe screws but not at the tips.

[@theoriginalrabbithole]

I put a layer of narrow foam, two-sided mounting tape on the bottom of my side rails and then just screw 'em down. The foam tape kills the vibration.

[@thinglizzy2718]

I could never skate the twin tail. My front truck is looser than my back truck. The grooves in my trucks are different too. It would be nice to not have to pop Nollie tricks off my tail sometimes though

[@gabrielherrera4643]

Note for crob. If your wheelbase is the same as the boards you skate then you shouldn’t have a problem skating a bigger board
