Very nice touch to have a picture of Justin's 180 fakie 5-0 grind at Commerce Court behind Chris. For those fortunate enough to witness skateboarding in the early to mid 90s in Toronto, this interview is an early holiday's present. I still remember the old Empire skate shop in the west end and the skatepark in Etobicoke. Bill was being super humble about his capabilities at street back then, as the dude tre flipped the Druxy's 4 stair at Queen and Bay, and still boggles my mind, as even an ollie down those 4 stairs was gnarly. Great interview, appreciated it.
i grew up in chicago, and finally made it to toronto one time during a "west 49 contest" in missisauga 2002ish?! awesome vibe. i skated downtown toronto and it felt like chicago...minus 10 degrees!! loved it!! ✍️🙏🎉
Mini ramp contests need to make a come back. Bowl contests are cool and all but watching rippers crushing a 5' or 6' mini ramp with 1' extensions would be mind blowing
The music and skateboarding dynamic has always been interesting to me. It seems very mutually beneficial. How many bands would you have never heard of without skateboarding? And how many parts wouldn’t been the same without the music? Really cool how it works
As a fellow Torontonian, I take great pride in what Weiss has accomplished throughout the 2000's, from revitalizing Blind with skaters like Morgan Smith, to TJ the destroyer, Micky Papa, Cody Mac to Sewa Kroetkov, the flatground perfectionist, manual destroyer and ledge God, and of course Romar, Nollie back three king.Just do yourself a favour and go watch bLind's video DAMN.
I thought it was really interesting when they discuss the pros versus the perceived cons of music exposure in skateboarding videos because I first heard of Ladytron by watching toy machines good and evil, and siouxsie and the banshees in foundations that's life, and naturally I went out and bought some CDs of said bands. I'm sure there were other skaters that had bought CDs of bands specifically because of watching skate videos, so the logic is definitely not foolproof on the legalities of having rights to songs.
Skateboard madness... I remember breaking both bones and ankle of my left leg. I was sobbing on the flat of the very ramp. No one knew what to do. I didn't cry. They thought I was in so much physical pain. I could barely feel it. I knew it was broken. I was crying cause I couldn't get up and take another run. I was crying cause I knew my parents would try and can skating all together. The good of skating is just so fuckin good. The bad just pales in comparison. I'm old now and the pain has become a real thing too... Anyways Weiss is so real. What a great episode. Cheers
I love the gratitude you all share with the guests for their contribution to skating. Thank you for that. We all do so appreciate the og’s in skating that keep it steered in the right direction 🙌🙌
Great interview. I'm 42 and love hearing the Bill Weiss perspective on the industry. "No one gives a fuck how many stairs you ollied." -Bill Weiss. So true, after stepping away for a while. Lol
Been hyped on this bLind team for a while. Hopefully they make a new full length or do king of the road again! Also Micky Papa needs to be on this show, guy rips
Hey Bill I remember you when we were kids. Duke of Canaught Adam Beck Hogtown Reams cycle Pasture Pete RIP. Dude I have always thought Frank Hawk took you and Pasture back to California with him. After skatewave we skated with Tony Kevin Harris Tony Magnusson. I don't remember seeing you after skatewave. Anyway good shit man proud of you. 416 for life!
The blind team is so chill I’ve met Romar tj yuto and sewa when he was on and Cody he has also sent me a box and hooked me up with gear at dewtour Long Beach a few years back he even kicked it down with his phone number they’re the GOAT
The first time I saw Bill in person was at Rudy's Skate Explosion in like 1992(??) Bright orange toque and hiked up pants, they were launching a bowling ball and almost took a dudes head off lol
I would like to see a nine Club all hosts play skate against each other now I think that would be an excellent episode and definitely interesting podcasts
I really don’t understand the logic when people say yuto won Olympics so ‘should he get soty?’ Yuto’s prize for winning Olympics was a goddamn gold medal.
This was an incredible interview, as always. But who was nose breathing into the mic for like the rest of the video at around the 46:00 mark? That you Kelly? Think we need to bring his button back.
@@TeeJayDoubleU OK good. I didn't see any other comments about it and thought that maybe I was losing it. But I also listen with good headphones, so it probably makes minor things louder.

Trinty Bellwoods! That plaque is because of us as kids at Commerce Court. LOL!
"You can't beat skateboarding" - Dubbs
What a great quote with double meaning!
madness is one of the best decks ive ever skated. visually appealing, easy to ride, great shape, tough as nails.
This dude a underground legend, old heads know 😝
💯
Old knobheads
100%
The Penny stories are blowing my mind right now.
thanks to Kelly for getting him to tell those rad Muska and Penny stories
" Partying like a Viking ". . . lmao. . .Bill is funny AF !!!!!
I 1000% see Bill Weiss as Chris’ older brother.
lol
Wow! It cannot be unseen!
A really nice episode, Weiss is O.G Legend.
At times, if you close your eyes , he sounds exactly like Grosso
This quickly became one of my favorite episodes and I’m still only one fourth through it! Such an epic guy!

FUCK YEAH. I live here in Canada near Toronto. When I was skating back in the day around 93 he was the Toronto Man. OG. Love this guy.
Holy trinity days 😁
You know you’re famous for something if it’s one of the first questions of your interview. "The Nude 540”
shout out to you, Kosik! Thanks for all that you've done for sk8ing
@@itmightgetdark Thank you..

I love Bill Weiss! he has always been cool and straight up anytime I ever meet him no attitude or stuck up crap at all.
Yup that’s exactly how he has always been. Super cool and a legit stand up dude!
Thats why these kids are so good all the skateparks and not getting kicked from spot to spot...being able to literally train its gnarly.
I remember skating with him, Bouma, Corbett, Morgan, Sheppard, abd there's of the old school skaters...90s were awesome

Great episode! Would love to see Jason Ellis on the show! Happy Holidays old buddies!
Loved the honesty, such a good guest!
One of the most entertaining episodes.thanks for that.
I love so many songs because I heard them in parts. Songs I probably never would have heard. I wasn’t into placebo but that appleyard part goes.
This is great. Weiss is a class act.
Would also like to say that, though I knew Jeron was an excellent addition to the conversation, I appreciate him more all the time.
Man this is one of the best episodes, Bill is an awesome dude!
Best episode yet!!! Such a humble smart dude who's been through the trenches and sounds like he's doing great. Mad props!
Loved this episode. Some great stories from a rad dude. Somehow I didn't know that he owned Madness. Such a sick company!
I love the gratitude you all share with the guests for their contribution to skating. Thank you for that.
We all do so appreciate the og’s in skating that keep it steered in the right direction 🙌🙌
I love this so much. Thank Bill.
I have the ghetto blaster 540 on video. That was amazing.
LEGEND! 🤘🔥
absolute legend!

I wonder who won between Kelly & CROB at BATB12? I bet Kelly
For sure, Kelly's been skating playground and Crobs been skating curbs
@@dillonu.4975 I just hope its an entertaining game 😊
If "Tommy To" refereed, you know Kelly won, LMAO!!!!!!
Kelly posts himself skating flat every once and awhile so I'm pretty sure he wins
Amazing attitude. He just loves helping people in the form of skateboarding. What a rad guy.
what an incredibly interesting guy, i was absolutely glued to this interview the whole way through
the best interviews are always the OG's
07:36 "You know, '95 or '96. Sheffey with the saxophone." Greatest line right here!
Really enjoyed this one, humble, down to earth & genuine. Respect Bill W!
“There’s been so many Sheffey with the saxophone”
That’s so good....
That was a good watch
“Roam “ was the B 52s
Great episode, wicked chill, honest and funny dude. Rad.
42:20 Judas Priest to 3 Six Mafia
im loving this so far, 1hr10 mntss in
Hey Bill I remember you when we were kids. Duke of Canaught Adam Beck Hogtown Reams cycle Pasture Pete RIP. Dude I have always thought Frank Hawk took you and Pasture back to California with him.

Had an amazing session with Bill in Harrow halfpipe back in the day - top man
That digital with who let the dogs out was my first vhs as a kid. Digital #4
The blind team is so chill I’ve met Romar tj yuto and sewa when he was on and Cody he has also sent me a box and hooked me up with gear at dewtour Long Beach a few years back he even kicked it down with his phone number they’re the GOAT
yes shoutout to Hogtown...also I think there was a place called Surfers Paradise down on the lakeshore back then too - got boards there as well.
“It felt like an 🐘 stood on my 🥜 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❗️
By the thumbnail I almost thought you guys had SKIP BAYLESS 💀 on here haha
The first time I saw Bill in person was at Rudy's Skate Explosion in like 1992(??) Bright orange toque and hiked up pants, they were launching a bowling ball and almost took a dudes head off lol
Haha I was there too
Top guy and a Raptors mug on the table in front of him as well. Perfect interview!
Digital "everyday" is in my top 5 all time
russ and gallant had my fav parts in that
@@worstse rg is my favorite skater. I used to put sweatbands on my forearms just like him😂
Bring Bill back 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
A very interesting épisode ... One of my favorites
I never met Bill but I love that dude total legend
Mike skated to Judas Priest as the first song in Fully Flared
Madness is gonna inspire a new generation of transition beasts.
Fantastic episode. So many great stories. 🙌
Classic Weiss🤠🤠
I would like to see a nine Club all hosts play skate against each other now I think that would be an excellent episode and definitely interesting podcasts
someone should have brought up the whole Creager episode
What's that?
Damn...didn't expect this.
Loving Madness decks sooooo much 🤤
best episode in a while . thanks lads
I love to see people win.
I really don’t understand the logic when people say yuto won Olympics so ‘should he get soty?’ Yuto’s prize for winning Olympics was a goddamn gold medal.
peter smolik, caine gayle, tom penny, sean sheffey, ryan denman, kareem campbell, get these guys on the show
These guys will be reviewing the new Ryan Decenzo 1990 part very soon.

shoutout the big north regina and saskatoon
Yo nine club,please review martino's madness part as bill weiss suggested...it is something out of the ordinary! A hug from rome,italy
good interview - whats the time stamp for when he talks about Tom Penny?
My shop in El Cajon in 86 definitely had shoes though only Vans and Vision street wear
I will always first and foremost associate this guy with the naked 540
This was super sick.
Those Madness Decks are the real deal.
Please get Franky Villani On
Seen the naked 540 many times back in the day lol
Great episode!
Crazy seeing how passionate Bill is about progressing skateboarding n knowing he was fired for absolutely nothing. Will never buy another dwindle deck
Please get mike crum on he does amazing things for the Dallas community at 4dwn
I still have the Digital with Apples on it! Absolutely Love that Vid! Jake Browns part kicks too! 🤘🇨🇦
what a fun guy XD
You guys are crazy the best song MC skated to was group home.
Born in 89 Huntsville Alabama. Myself and nude 540s. Sick.
Put Christopher Hiett on the show!
Has great as this was. I couldnt stop hyper focusing on, what sounds like, Kelly breathing real close to the mic..
this is great and I am just 25min in :D
This was an incredible interview, as always. But who was nose breathing into the mic for like the rest of the video at around the 46:00 mark? That you Kelly? Think we need to bring his button back.
Dude thank you… I heard it the entire episode.
@@TeeJayDoubleU OK good. I didn't see any other comments about it and thought that maybe I was losing it. But I also listen with good headphones, so it probably makes minor things louder.
