i went to a LIFE demo back in 1990 or 1991 ...Sheffey stayed on the phone with his old lady the entire time , Donger skated a bit , but Ron Allen skated his ass off and took time to talk to all of the kids and was super cool to all of us...hes the real deal as a person...the shop/park owner was bitching at some of the kids for talking to him outside in the parking lot without paying ...Ron straight up lit that old man's us up , lecturing him about these kids pay your bills and dont have to pay to talk to me outside the shop...Ron was so emotional going off on the old dude that he literally started crying himself while going off on the old dude ....i was already a huge fan of Ron's , but knowing hes legit as a human made him even cooler
31 years ago when I was 17 I met Ron Allen outside a skatepark in Columbus, Ohio. Me and a few buddies randomly went out of town for a week, and while we were crashing in Columbus heard there there was a demo going on at a local park. By the time we made it there the demo was over, but the park was so intimidating to me I opted to skate in the parking lot, trying to ollie over a little baby dirt gap into the adjoining lot. At one point Ron Allen came out of a side door, I think he was having a smoke. He could have minded his own business and ignored me, but instead he came over and introduced himself and asked if I liked the demo. I told him I missed it, and he was all that's too bad man, it was a lot of fun. He then watched me trying to ollie over this little gap, and was super encouraging saying stuff like you got this dude, don't give up bro! I don't remember if I made the trick or not, or exactly what Ron Allen said, but I'll always remember how positive he was and how he made me feel good about myself.
Lol this was over 30 years ago and it was my 1st time in Columbus. All I do remember is that some chick drove us there and it wasn't too far off the freeway.@@jessiemartinez3056
Ron Allen has always been 100% unapologetically himself, in his skating, his brands, his music, and everything else he does. That is why he isone of my top favorite skaters of all time. True legend through and through. Thank you guys so much for getting this one locked down!
Amazing, Ron has more energy than most everyone who has sat in that chair for an interview! Such a vibrant, appreciative, productive human being. This dude is not a carbon copy of anyone else. Beautiful soul.
What a treat! I grew up on h-street in the 80s and Ron was always a true inspiration. A talented skater and musician. Thanks! Get the rest of h-street and Life on the show too!
15 minutes in and Ron’s energy is insane. I’ve loved that dude my WHOLE life. My first H-Street was a Ron Allen no scratch. He’s been a part of my life since I was like 12 ❤ nothing but love!
Ron was the first pro I met at a demo at six flags, I was probably 13. My friend was got to skate in the demo and Ron just hyped us all up. Every time I saw him at Berkeley park or around the Bay he always remembered meeting us then and commented on how much me and my friends were growing up etc. Always hyped, always so positive and encouraging. Still ripping and unabashedly himself. Thanks Ron!
Ron Allen is the only pro street skater I was lucky enough to skate with when I was younger during his H-Street time because of the skate/surf shop I was sponsored by at the time & brought him down for a demo in Miami. Thank you for the memories & the amazing energy you still have today and all the OG stories.
There is a couple of the 9 Clubs that are just epic and this is top 5 of my favorites. Big up RON ALLEN. I think I speak for all skaters and say that this man is a LEGEND.
Back in the late 80's I was a young skater living in the burbs of North London, UK. Some of my skate crew went out skating mid week and who did they come across in our random part of North London suburbs.... none other than this man Ron Allen. This was the early H-Street era they took him skating around our local area and ended up at South Bank and they came back the next day to tell the tale that I missed out on. The big one was "ahh man Ron ollied a McDonalds trash bin" in our local town centre. I was so blown away and gutted that I unbelievably missed this experience especially as Ron stay literally half a mile from my house at some little random hotel in my part of North London. Had to share this story and big up Ron Allen still skating at 61!!! I didn't know how connected he was to Sheffey who I also met around the Life era at a skatepark in Leigh on Sea Essex. Good times man good times..... CMOON PUT LOTION ON YA FEET RON!!!!!! lol
Could it have been in 90. I'm up near Liverpool, and one day in 90 I opened the local paper to see pic of Ron boardsliding back of a bench minutes from my local skate shop and my house. I phoned friends, on landlines obviously, and they didn't know what happened. Apparently the shop which was a windsurf shop that had plenty of skate stuff, had persuaded the distributors to send H Street team to my area, but it was quite short notice, and they either just didn't inform local skaters or didn't have time. It was pre mobile phone and they probably didn't have skaters numbers. The shop owner son was in my class at school but didn't skate, but I feel he could have told us. I think we may have been in school when they turned up too. It was a complete f#@k up and we were fuming. Couldn't believe it. I still have newspaper clipping of pic to remind me of what we missed. The shop didn't know where skate spots were also, so H Street team skated a bit of flatland with a crap bench that had arms, hence his boardslide on back of bench.
What a legend. Best 1 foot Ollies in the game. So funny. I loved all of it. I have 4 of his text decks on my wall so I think about Ron lots but I have been a fan since the early days and still today. Thank you for the Life video. That was epic and changed what we thought was possible on a skateboard. Ron is awesome
Hocus Pocus & Shackle ME Not are 2 of those videos that changed skateboarding. It had a lot to do with the riders and of course the tricks put down on these 2 classic skate vids... 1 more element that no one talks about the first 2 H -Street vids are the songs / bands chosen to be a part of the 2 projects. Those songs still hold up til this day....
Ok, i started skating in 03 04 my first 2 videos where Yeah Right and Dying to live. Im 32 now been skating over half of my life, I am so blessed to have a spot w old head homies just like the tenessee ramp he was tlkn about. My friend Cletus is 56 this year he has a backyard ramp they call "the senior center" I have been skating it every thursday since I was 18. It's the best session possible skating w OGs who love this shit! They have put me on to so many things and Ron is one who I really looked into and stood out to me . What a G this was so Inspiring im in love with skateboarding and Im not going to stop! YOU BETTER LOVE THIS SHIT
Satori, Yellow Brand, and Creation demo’d our hometown park when I first began skateboarding. I wasn’t there for the demo but every day of middle school, at the park that I skated, the place was still plastered with their promo stuff. I ended up riding a Creation board finally around 2014 for nostalgic purposes and it was so rad. Satori’s were on my first set up ever too. I’m pretty sure Delatorre was there for that first demo. Anyways, this episode is probably my favorite one. I’m 28 so I didn’t grow up on Ron Allen but you can help but be inspired by him. Thanks everyone
One of my favorite Nine Club episodes definitely. Could have listened to 10 hours of Ron telling stories. Ron is a super cool nice dude and street skate legend. His "Risk It" part and the Life video are classics for me that are embedded in my mind. I only wish I could obtain his awesome energy level. 🤩
Dis was 💯% my favorite interview on da Nine! Ron Allen is one of my favorite OG's. As a git, I was always compared to him and Sheffey but I'd deny Ron on da strength of a different generation not realizing until my teens how crucial his career was to skating. After hearing it in such detail, I know now I only got da half. Respect to Creation and Satori for reintroducing me to da Goat in da 2000's.
Someone encourage Ron to be a part of the H-street documentary so he can tell the stories of the dark times and make sure they tell the story the right way. The filmmakers weren’t there so they NEED the actual riders to properly tell the world how things were.
I was hanging with D way , Steve Ortega, Matt H, Brennan S,. Vista had so many dudes who could have done something with skateboarding!! VERY DARK TIMES tbh
So legendary!!! And so much energetic positive energy! I'm glad you just let him roll off the stories! Gotta have him back! What a good dude. Thanks guys!
"We were punk rock skate kids' ... Black Dress Theory - still one of the best tracks on a skate part! I still listen to that track, recorded direct off the video, lol, and as soon as it comes on and I hear it I just think of Ron and all I can see in my mind is his Shackle Me Not part. It's similar with Jeff's "Bird's Fly High" - I just see Danny Way's part as soon as it comes on, but I have a better recording of that and, as much as I LOVE Wonderful Broken Thing, it ain't Black Dress Theory - that just gives me goosebumps every time with that dirty bassline
3 and a half hours, I loved every minute of it. Ron Allen was one of my favorites. I enjoy learning about the new kids but more interviews from the 80's era please!
Ron let me and my mates crash in his hotel room after a demo in England in late 80s He told awesome stories all night We were just grommets, it was amazing Coolest guy ever
absolute legend. so hilarious to hear him tell the broken windshield story. Me and my friends were driving in the car behind them when that happened and was there to witness it first hand.We were on the way to skate with them after the demo, that was in annapolis if I remember right. I'll never forget it.
Visalia up in da hizzy! You will never meet a more genuine person than Ron Allen! Remember that weird board shape Bobby G was trying to sell us? Awesome episode guys!
This episode was really hit home for me ❤🙏 First off i was 8 or 9 when i saw Ron Allen blast the massive crosswalk ollie on Shackle Me Not we were in disbelief. I know there were pros starting to do 360 kickflips back then already but in my neighborhood of Los Angeles we just weren't able to comprehend that yet so how we rated each other was by who could ollie the most boards stacked up. I was able to ollie 4 boards in 4th grade and that was pretty unheard of back then. So when i saw Rons power ollies and the way H-street was changing the game from the nerdy Powell videos it was on!!! My first true skate clothing was an H-street hoodie. I ordered one in black and it took like six months to come and it came in a weird red color. I tried to return it but the customer service back then was non-existent. So i rocked that sweater proudly anyways and got made fun of at school by the rest of the Mexicans. Second no one really understands this but i tell people growing up latino i really have to strain my brain to recall any racism from white folks but from my fellow latinos it was DAILY. It was pretty much who was darker, poorer, tougher, more mexican etc. And yes the cholos would beat you up for skating so you had to keep it on the downlow because skating was considered 'selling out.' It was hella tough to be a skater in the 80s in LA. I'm so glad Ron related to that being a challenge for a person of color..ignorance is ignorance smh
@2:18:00 LoL Out of the million stories this homie said... This was the most RAW and DEEP story I have ever heard on here. That shit had me bustin up!!!! You gotta keep listening till at least 2:19:20.... You will laugh I promise hahahaha "They stuck it deep dawg!"🤣😂🤣
I love skateboarding! This is a beautiful episode. Great energy and the stories take you back down that lane. Especially if you been through the progress of it all. Nice job fellas!
This was hands down one of the best episodes I have had the pleasure to watch and listen to. Ron is the GOAT! So stoked to skate later today gonna keep that love in my heart and not worry about not landing shit :) 👊
I was just wondering if Matt Hensley would ever be on the show. This is just as sick! So stoked on Ron Allen! His Shackle and Hocus parts are so good. I had his American Dream board. Looking forward to this one.
I waited for other dudes interviews to then ending up shutting youtube off because they bored me. my favorite skateboarders. but I'm locked in with Ron's charisma. a lot of experience and knowledge. super cool dude
Ron is a testament to Skateboarding being a fountain of youth, he is and looks beyond sharp for his age and I learned so much from this episode about being a good human and respecting others in skateboarding and in life
i went to a LIFE demo back in 1990 or 1991 ...Sheffey stayed on the phone with his old lady the entire time , Donger skated a bit , but Ron Allen skated his ass off and took time to talk to all of the kids and was super cool to all of us...hes the real deal as a person...the shop/park owner was bitching at some of the kids for talking to him outside in the parking lot without paying ...Ron straight up lit that old man's us up , lecturing him about these kids pay your bills and dont have to pay to talk to me outside the shop...Ron was so emotional going off on the old dude that he literally started crying himself while going off on the old dude ....i was already a huge fan of Ron's , but knowing hes legit as a human made him even cooler
Cool story. So Sheffey was in the phone booth or was he using a brick phone?
Awesome story, thanks for sharing 👍
@@episodebeats2817 I'm not even sure the old school Motorola bag phones that used to be in our rich friends dads convertibles were around in '91.

Was this at dodge skatepark near downtown CBus

Ron just became the skater I want to hang out with the most. Awesome interview
Thank you Ron for all of your stories and years of skateboarding!
Thanks everyone at The Nine Club for getting the OG Skaters on the show 🛹🛹🛹 Ron Allen is the GOAT.

The way he tells a story makes you visualize what was happening.. killer episode
I miss skating with Ron at the Berkeley park. Dude was always into talking about the history and stories of skateboarding.
An amazing episode - great stories from every era. As someone who started skating in the mid 70s - I thank you and Ron for this one.
Ron is the OG king of pop
Ron Allen working with farm workers is amazing. Unity baby 🇲🇽🇺🇸🤝
The legend 🎉doesn’t take long into this to realize it’s one the the greatest episodes!

Soldier Story.
Both banging videos. Those were my childhood. I’m wanting to see Natas on here and Matt Hensley.
@@crazycatman5928Matt too busy 😂
Grew up skating with Alf , and spent time with Ron in Oak via Matt H ...❤ 89 special time
The older the guest the better the show is.
You are correct sir. This is a great interview.
Yes it's true...
I starting to notice that, more wisdom and stories to share
Ron Allen gave us this episode, and I am so stoked!
Nothing better than an energy that keeps you engaged. This was awesome!

Ron's Energy is unbelievable.Much Love.
So legendary!!! And so much energetic positive energy! I'm glad you just let him roll off the stories! Gotta have him back! What a good dude. Thanks guys!
man...2 minutes in and it's already GOLD.
Such a sick dude! Met him at Spot and had the best time shredding with this legend 😤
Ron Allen rules in so many different ways.
This dude is so rad! I love him already, never heard of him until today so TY for bringing Ron Allen to my attention 🤘
He’s a street skating legend
This was so much fun to listen to. Ron has super good energy!
Ron hasn’t changed one bit since I met him back in 1986. Same infectious energy !
Amazing Episode. RON ALLEN , Straight OG🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Like a great classic rock song that never gets old and paves the way for everything to come 🙌🔥
This guys energy is infectious!
Ron Allen is one of the coolest people ever. Shout out to Fun, Life, and the almighty American Dream!
I was lucky enough to ride with the H-Street team in 87 or 88 in Ohio of all places lol. Shout out to the Berea skate park
Ron Allen is the GOAT, always been that way too.
Growing up in Bakersfield this all tracks. We all loved H-Street and Ron especially!
Do you know Splinter ?
this was amazing, so much good energy.
I was there at the 2nd & 3rd Visalia Skate Camp! Good Times!
Ron taught me about golden seal root to pass my drug test for my very 1st job it worked!!! Worst job ever! Thanks Ron! True legend!
hands down the best 9club EP. Need him back ASAP
Loving seeing a skater with such enthusiasm. That's what it was all about. Thank you Ron.
"We were punk rock skate kids' ... Black Dress Theory - still one of the best tracks on a skate part! I still listen to that track, recorded direct off the video, lol, and as soon as it comes on and I hear it I just think of Ron and all I can see in my mind is his Shackle Me Not part. It's similar with Jeff's "Bird's Fly High" - I just see Danny Way's part as soon as it comes on, but I have a better recording of that and, as much as I LOVE Wonderful Broken Thing, it ain't Black Dress Theory - that just gives me goosebumps every time with that dirty bassline
Possibly the best episode yet!
3 and a half hours, I loved every minute of it. Ron Allen was one of my favorites. I enjoy learning about the new kids but more interviews from the 80's era please!
I already love this dudes energy !!!
Word to SKATE MOMS
Ron Allen is the best! 🙏🏼🖤
True Skateboarding Spirit!!! Thanks Ron!!!!
This has been one of the most entertaining episodes ever. A little part of skate history 🛹🛹🛹🛹
Ron let me and my mates crash in his hotel room after a demo in England in late 80s
He told awesome stories all night
We were just grommets, it was amazing
Coolest guy ever
absolute legend. so hilarious to hear him tell the broken windshield story. Me and my friends were driving in the car behind them when that happened and was there to witness it first hand.We were on the way to skate with them after the demo, that was in annapolis if I remember right. I'll never forget it.
Absolute legend.
Visalia up in da hizzy! You will never meet a more genuine person than Ron Allen! Remember that weird board shape Bobby G was trying to sell us? Awesome episode guys!
I love the fact that Ron mentioned Noah Selasnek. And then didn’t elaborate.
Rons energy is infectious huh, explains his skating a bunch. great episode thank you

LONG LIVE RON ALLEN
One of my favorites. I loved his board tail was huge

but I'm locked in with Ron's charisma. a lot of experience and knowledge. super cool dude
Ron used to stay at my crib in NYC with the Fun team all the time. We had some great times in the early 90s.
Ron is a testament to Skateboarding being a fountain of youth, he is and looks beyond sharp for his age and I learned so much from this episode about being a good human and respecting others in skateboarding and in life
Old school... those days were rad. This is a great interview.
best interview ever !
