In 1999 my friends and I flew out of Omaha NE heading to the X Games in San Fran. Kanten was on our flight and gave us directions to Hubba Hideout, other spots to skate, and just chatted about skating with us. He’s definitely a stand up guy.

Rad episode. I grew up east county SD (graduated Granite Hills '96). It was cool to hear about Jason Carter. I remember seeing him skate in Alpine, cruising down the sidewalk and busting a hefty nollie down a seven stair...around '93; mohawk and no socks. Thanks Kanten for telling all those SD memories. Stoked!

This dude helped design and coordinate the upcoming skate park in my small town in California. Such a rad dude to meet and a genius at skatepark design. Knew he was a former pro but didnt realize the impact he had on skateboarding. Im blown away. Great episode! Nipomo, CA skatepark coming at the end of this year!

But they'll teach you how to do basic math and bake a crossaint with a piece of chocolate. School is where class really comes. The richer kids with trust funds are going to Ivy League schools, whether they earned it or not. The rest of us either go for a certificate, go into the workforce, or take on huge debt to get a degree that might you m, it might not. Luckily, Massachusetts is at the head of the curve, legal Cannabis, they're working on decriminalizing psychedelics, 99% universal health coverage + the 2nd best healthcare system in the country per state, and now we have free college tuition to get an Associates Degree. The Cannabis products have a 20% exercise, so there's a multi-billion dollar windfall of money to put back into infrastructure. Red states take note. If it wasn't for ignorance, greed, and regressiveness in the GOP, we would be living in a practical progressive utopia like the Nordic countries, The British Iles, and Western Europe. We are well known as the worst 1st world country because we keep backsliding.

this is SO dope bro!! I love it!!

Been waiting soooo long for this one, and it was soooo worth the wait! Been a life long fan, but had no idea of how deep his history in skateboarding really was/is so many great stories, and what a great story teller, he needs to come back for sure!

Hopefully they talked about his alley-oop bs flip over the 13 stair rail in troubleshooters.

Thank you for this one! Big fan of Kanten. A great skater and advocate for skaters. Stoked to see his impact continues through building great skateboard parks.

Dude wasn't ready to stop story-tellin and I wasn't ready to stop listenin. GJ 9 Club!

Remember he came to my shop when I was younger. It was during the Osiris southern comfort tour. Osiris was giving out free tshirts. I had a big poster signed by him on my bedroom wall. Good times

i enjoyed this way more than i thought i would. wasn’t a fan of his skating back in the day but i like him as a person now. goes to show you can’t skip any episodes!

That’s dope how the clip plays while he talks about it! OG’s just listen and remember though.

Get Josh Kasper on!

I met Kanten Russell in an Osiris demo in Málaga, Spain! He did a big 360 ollie in the park. I could talk to him and he was very nice. Later he was throwing stickers to the crowd, and he pointed at me and handed me an ELENEX cap! I could not be happier :)

This has got to be one of the best episodes in a while, probably bc I am involved with kanten on a new park for my area. Super stoked on his expectations on parks and his design, can’t wait to skate his park he’s working on!

Huge congrats to both the Nine Club on an excellent interview and to Mr. Kanten Russell for his legacy and to be able to still give back and still contribute to the skate scene to this day! Kanten was very laidback, informative and you could tell from since his formative years, he has gathered a few notches of wisdom on his belt. Nothing but good vibes on this interview and really loving the time stamp and video clip additions, guys! Keep it up guys and look forward to the next one!

Bigg up KR for blessing California with amazing skate architecture. The shaft vid was my ish too 📼💥🤛

This was great! Thank you guys!

First time I met Kanten all the E.C crew snuck into a movie theater to make fun of that Vanilla Ice movie. And my great friend R.R went in front and started dancing. Kanten and BFF Chris all yelling, go R.R, Carter was there.Don't know if they kicked us out or after we laughed out asses off just walked out.I think we walked out. Good memories man.

The angle of Carlsbad when Andrew reynolds fakie fs flipped it in stay gold was marvelous

Out of all the amazing footage he's put out in his career, this interview is probably where his knees are bent the most!

This was a full trip down memory lane, thank you The Nine Club and Kanten. I went to high school with Kevin Davis and used to jump the fence at Santee skatepark before they finished the park. The Storm Premier... what a party!

luv the story about lil B trying to live up to Tom P.

This episode is 🔥🔥 great stories dude 🤘

Whatever happened he made an impact and impression. I remember the first time I saw him in a vid. It was a backside flip down like a 18 stair. Effortless. Never seen anyone do it quite like that before. Many jaws were on the floor.

I saw vid of a kid ollie a huge double set, i comment "thats some Kanten Russell stuff" algo pops this in my feed. i miss those days. i worked at a skate shop 2000-2009 and the escalation from then is wild. kids are wild these days. its fun to watch, but my knees hurt lol

So cool to hear about the Shakle me not time. I would like to hear more about the 86 til 90's time!!

His video part with in troubleshooters with smolik and the gangstarr beat is legendary

Skateboards bought at the swap meet combined with the story of the random launch ramp really resonated with me growing up in So Cal in the 80s. Also, ditch skating..
