I just had to pause it at 17:39 to comment about why the fuck are they dogging the shit out of you and the Osiris guys right to your face on some weird passive aggressive shit. That's gotta be what these kids are talking about when they say "micro aggressions". You are a fucking LEGEND my G! You were one of the best skaters at that time, period. And so was your whole squad. I'm legit pissed at how they're on the low dogging you and your squad right to your face. WTF is that about??? SMFH
I was at Woodward that same week hanging with Danny and Mike! I was in Donnie's cabin. I remember you backside 360'n everything. Danny actually talked to my mom on the phone asking if I could stay longer at camp with them. She said yes, but Ozzie said no. Haha.
A Maple Knight Deck was my first skateboard & will Never forget it! It was the one with knight across the bottom with chess pieces at the nose & tail. 🤘👽👽👽
Working at a skateshop in Madison - I felt that some kids found their brand and went with it. I don't think anyone was talking shit if you liked a certain brand. Another great interview. Storm was good. Kids would want it watch it on the TV in the shop.
i love the chunky shoe era, the globe chet IV was the best. dc boxers. never had osiris, but i saw a guy at the park recently skating some. saw a lot of d3s in the wild but not usually skaters.
Chad Knight is a legend, he destroyed all the S.D. spots back in the day and showed bigger dudes like me that you can still rip on a skateboard and look good doing it! Props to you Chad!💯👊
Wow, awesome interview guys. I remember watching The Storm for the first time with my friends on VHS in my basement. I'm glad to see Chad is doing well.
Idk how people think the bunt is the best the 9 club is Mike's ahead of thoes guys not to say they can't get better but the 9 club is easily the best skate pod hate them or love them it's facts
Being someone who has been doing game development and 3d art I found this so interesting knowing the tools and processes Chad talked about. Inspiring episodes!
It's not nardwuar-esque; these guys obviously clowned on Chad and his San Diego crew back in the day and he's just throwing out all the shit he and his homies talked for validation. The whole interview felt like a prank that Chad wasn't in on and I feel bad for him. He's thinking "we're all grown ups now; we can talk about this stuff like it's the past" while jeron and Chris keep looking at each other like, "holy shit he's actually TALKING about this! how far can we go before he realizes that we're making fun of him?". Really disappointed in the three hosts for this one. Chad Knight got more clips in his day than all three of them combined.
I met Chad at Desert West back in ‘97 I believe. He was super cool. A dude I knew was acting like a total douche at the park and Chad rolled up to us and said “that guy’s a dick.” He wasn’t wrong.
I remember as a kid in Maine we'd hear about Roger and this kid named Tim Battle. They were kinda known of by people that never met them. Some others too
They kind of left out a huge detail about NFTs... let's use that GTA 6 analogy.... say Rockstar creates a special weapon that can be purchased-but only 1,000 gamers (out of a population of millions) are lucky enough to get it. Yes, everyone can see it when I use it, can see it in pictures and video-but only 1,000 people ACTUALLY have it. What's more, each of the 1,000 weapons is issued a number 1-1,000... so yes, they are the same weapon, but their own uniquely IDd assets that the gamer actually owns that numbered weapon. That's what Chad was discussing about "the Blockchain"-which is like a giant database of who owns all these uniquely IDd assets. That's what an NFT is, except it's not a weapon in GTA, it's a piece of digital art or a digitized version of existing art. YES, it may look like the same picture you could print out or look at in pictures, but every NFT has it's own unique ID so you actually own it. In the case of a company like Funko or ABD collectibles, you buy packs of digital cards (the cards are the NFTs and each have a unique ID... yes, they look like the same piece of digital art as the next, but on the Blockchain they are different and can be owned/sold by different people)-but if you pull certain NFTs, ABD sends you a physical "reward" such as a real card from that set, Funko sends you a special POP you can't buy in stores. Now, moving away from video games and into that virtual reality Chad was describing. Imagine owning one of @chadknight5791 's MASSIVE digital art pieces (which have scope and size that span continents) and in that virtual world (whether something like Occulus or even a neural implant) you could enter that 3d space and move around in it-but ONLY if you possessed that uniquely IDd, limited piece of virtual art. Not trying to shill for NFTs (some people believe they are a scam... and some are), just providing a bit more context
Hsu 1's and Graff were my two favorite shoes. Went through 5+ pairs of Hsu's but only had the chance to get one pair of Graffs. Just saw that they reissued the Graffs and got goosebumps immediately after seeing that. There's been nothing like it. I remember how narrow they felt to other shoes and loving them so much that they were pretty much shoe goo by the time I was done with them.
2:05:38 I was laughing so hard!!! This Guy Chad effing Knight has elevated this episode so much!! I had to cancel my Debit and it cancelled my subscription!! Thank you Nine Club!
Just sold that the knight chess peice deck behind chris to obtain a 91 blind d way bladerunner 😢 went to a sick collector though and Chad knight is a beast!
@@obiseankenobi2056 hopefully that’s not what you got out of what I said. What I was intending to say was that AI can be used as part of the creative process during concepting to discover new perspectives. Definitely would never imply that clicking some buttons makes you a designer.
@@chadknight5791 ahh yeah. hey man, good to see you doing well... was a pleasant surprise to see you here on The Nine Club. I was the kid at the park (Sunsports) who was the unofficial employee helping Kenny. Keep rolling Chad! Thanks for the memories!
Yo why are yall dogging the shit out of Chad Knight and the Osirus guys? Is this what the kids call "micro aggressions"? Yall literally dogging the shit out of him and his whole crew right to his face on some weak ass passive aggressive shit. That man is a fucking legend! He was one of the best skateboarders at that time, and so was everyone else on that squad. WTF???
Would you rather than lie to his face? They were honest in that they were on team Girl/Chocolate. Very few people were in both camps at that time. I rode for Osiris back then and I was Chad's team manager on Maple. I definitely got made fun of for skating D3's. The Osiris crew had this very boisterous feel to it, and a lot of people rolled their eyes at it and didn't like it at all. The skate industry was very fragmented back then. Massive politics behind the scenes. They could've been a little more gentle about it, like awkwardly laughing about it instead of borderline sneering, but I feel for the most part they were just being honest. I would way rather have that than them retroactively pretending they were down for some thing that they weren't, ya know?
@@jasondashney They ain't on team jack shit. They're a podcast doing interviews of skaters from every generation and who rode for every team imaginable. And they literally never pulled this shit on anyone before. Unlike you, I was actually around for that era, and NO, there was never any Osiris/Girl Chocolate beef. And a LOT of companies had that "boisterous" feel in the 90's. It was the hiphop era for fuck's sake. They literally just had Muska on recently and didn't pull that shit on him. What the hell is the matter with you?
Thanks for the love friends! 🙌

This was so fun to watch. Bummed I missed those years at Sunsports. Peace, Chad.
@@meiphukingdiqqwhat are you talking about? Get off your wierd pedestal, theyre talking about the past, which IS THE PAST
Thanks for doing what you did on a board 💪🏼
I was at Woodward that same week hanging with Danny and Mike! I was in Donnie's cabin. I remember you backside 360'n everything. Danny actually talked to my mom on the phone asking if I could stay longer at camp with them. She said yes, but Ozzie said no. Haha.
Hell yeah. Chad was a powerhouse back in the day. Such a rad dude.
Need Smollik more than ever!!
Jim greco too
Hell yeah bring on ODS
get Scott Pazelt on the cast, hows that for a Storm deepcut. One of the best parts
Or Chris Dobstaff.
Was the GURU no Cassius
"Blackcat" was my 1st video ,. And Chad's part was a motivator for sure
I was at the premiere! Super underrated video.
Dude first video I bought and I still own that same tape 24 years later. Such a rad video and the animation was funny 🤘. Jerry's part was my favorite
@normanl.6891 La Paloma FTW. 🕊️
@@fatdumplinsyup! seen so many premiers there. The best.
@@alberthernandez4040I have it still and I still watch.
Sorry Kelly but your Osiris were the Cassius Josh Kaspers 😂
A Maple Knight Deck was my first skateboard & will Never forget it! It was the one with knight across the bottom with chess pieces at the nose & tail. 🤘👽👽👽
Dave Coyne next week i hope :)
Such a cool guy and amazing skateboarder! Would be cool if he fills in for a live show! Thanks guys
That Ollie at sports arena is SOOOOOO next level The Kasper Ollie is also one of the gnarliest Ollie's ever done !! Have stood next to both spots❤
I used to see Chad around Mira Costa college around 2008, he’s the man!
Working at a skateshop in Madison - I felt that some kids found their brand and went with it. I don't think anyone was talking shit if you liked a certain brand. Another great interview. Storm was good. Kids would want it watch it on the TV in the shop.
Lmao hellllla kids talked shit about literally everything
the storm skate video was epic for its time.the music,the skaters, the chad knight hardflips.been a fan since then
The storm changed my life! Thanks chad
The 6 stair rail chad did the big flip board is Montgomery middle school. It’s kinda by the kinda vista park.
I want another episode with Chad talking about design. God damn that was great.
I don't remember Chad being such a good skater the clips they showed of him were insane skills!
i love the chunky shoe era, the globe chet IV was the best. dc boxers. never had osiris, but i saw a guy at the park recently skating some. saw a lot of d3s in the wild but not usually skaters.
The Tyrones they kicked off with were sick, great design!
Actually skated a contest with this dude. Replica of the sports arena double and this dude was straight killin it with huge pop everytime
Hell yeah. Chad is a powerhouse.
Such a rad dude
At 39 its awesome getting to see all these pros candidly I looked up to as a grom
Chad Knight is a legend, he destroyed all the S.D. spots back in the day and showed bigger dudes like me that you can still rip on a skateboard and look good doing it! Props to you Chad!💯👊
Legend! Second to last part in "Seven steps to heaven" as far as i remember. One of the best skatevideos of all time!
Wow, awesome interview guys. I remember watching The Storm for the first time with my friends on VHS in my basement. I'm glad to see Chad is doing well.
Ohio stand up! This was such a good episode! Chad is sick!
Dude nine club seriously rules. Thank you guys so much for holding it down every fucking week. ❤
Idk how people think the bunt is the best the 9 club is Mike's ahead of thoes guys not to say they can't get better but the 9 club is easily the best skate pod hate them or love them it's facts
Hell yea. Looking forward to this. Possible Kristin Svitak episode in the future?
Need that
Bro yall are putting it out faster than I can get it! Love it thanks mane. The storm krew was my ish. That video was nuts!
Being someone who has been doing game development and 3d art I found this so interesting knowing the tools and processes Chad talked about. Inspiring episodes!
Big flip to fakie blew my mind in The Storm
All Systems Go!!! was one of my favorite videos growing up.
I also enjoyed you on American Gladiators.
Awesome interview! Wasn’t expecting the direction it took, but it only got better + loved his Pink sneakers
23:55 Love how Crob's been dropping these Nardwuar-esque questions during interviews! - Leveling up your already great interviewing skills!
I’m Cris Roberts I have to know these things 😂 That’s what he shoulda said 😂

As a street skater, the guy did a blunt fakie flip on vert. I salute you.
Spent some time skating with him when I was a kid, when 1031 came to Maine on the turn up the hell tour
Seems like a cool genuine dude!
Good episode
Great episode. What a guy....
I remember as a kid in Maine we'd hear about Roger and this kid named Tim Battle. They were kinda known of by people that never met them. Some others too
Chad with the bleached tips! These kids want to bring back the 90s but they ain't doin that shit. Haha
Chad was an absolute monster on 4 wheels back in the day... Always had killer photos and ads too.....

super sic combo of old and new so dope
One of the first skaters I ever looked up too , loved this dude !!
Bros I love the shoe talk. This was so interesting 💯👌🏼
The Graff was a great shoe, might have to grab some of the reissues
Hsu 1's and Graff were my two favorite shoes. Went through 5+ pairs of Hsu's but only had the chance to get one pair of Graffs. Just saw that they reissued the Graffs and got goosebumps immediately after seeing that. There's been nothing like it.

Loved Maple Black Cat growing up! Wasn't Lavar wearing The Gammas in Trilogy?
The rail he big flip Fs boarded is at Montgomery elementary in Linda vista (it’s close to the Linda vista skatepark)
Chad Knight in Black Cat was my jam, that video is bomb.
Chad rips, I remember when he got on 1031, I was psyched. Loved that company.
loved this episode , month of legends thanks again 🎉
Great episode! Keep up the hard work!! Nine Club 4 Life!!!
The absolute king of mini ramp.
2:05:38 I was laughing so hard!!! This Guy Chad effing Knight has elevated this episode so much!! I had to cancel my Debit and it cancelled my subscription!! Thank you Nine Club!
It’s that day of the week.
Sunsports, one of the best memories of my youth. And Kenny was the man.
He was super rad and this interview was great
that was amazing, with the footwear design and stuff!
black cat still one of my favorite skate vhs!
My first skate video I ever watched was Pig Wheels All Systems Go, Chad had last part, doing 360s down stairs 🤩
He even bleached his hair to bring back that early 2000 look 😆
The most SD dude ever. Lance Bass called…
@@650AFTERHOURSOC unintentional grown out 😂
Here we go
had no idea you skateboarded Chad! You were a decent manager though. 😃
This sounded more like a marketing podcast than a skateboarding podcast
2:19:51 I love the collaboration 🤟🏽🤟🏽
Holy Shit! The Maple deck I had is behind Crob! 🤘😬👽👽👽
A good fill in for the live show 👌
Chad could participate on Kasso, the japanese skateboarding wipeout tv show. Pretty fun to watch!
Buh….buh…buh…. Buttery!
Finna see every old skater in Cbus wearing the Fontanka
Didn’t Heath Kirchart do a Kickflip front board on a rail in 1994 on 411 issue 9?
Sick episode!!!! Loved it thank you guys!
Just sold that the knight chess peice deck behind chris to obtain a 91 blind d way bladerunner 😢 went to a sick collector though and Chad knight is a beast!
@@The-skate-collector very wise. I support this.
Yeah Chad
one of my og favorites !
I think maybe he didn't feel like he fit in with The Storm as it was bro'd out and kinda Jock vibes, and he seems like a super intelligent dude.
FYI; evol was J Strickland’s tag. Tony Mag bought the name from him.
Really?
Hopefully Muska did an episode while he was there
Man Chad is Such a Rad Guy Man!
Get the rest of the baker crew on here !!
Great episode
It's about time!!
2:11:48 NBD Chad Knight, he slid and rolled away 🤟🏽
Gonna leave a comment before even watching and say this one farking rocked shite yeah top shelf again lads..... .....
Big fan!
freaking awesome!
Get skate nomad on the podcast.
I asked for this one! Awesome
if 'creating' a shoe with ai makes you a designer then ordering pizza makes you a chef.

Watching Kelly working to comprehend these shoe samples and design terms is just kinda telling about what's happening at Soletech.
Killer tips son!!!
Sunsports remembers Chad Knight! 614 in the house. Chad Knight, Tim Simmons, Rob Case, Tony... ahhh the 90s
What was Tony's last name? I've completely forgotten.
