Dude so true. I remember when he switched heel flipped over that slide in one of the first 411s I was trippin! Couldn’t believe it was switch. Lol

One of the most talented, and underrated skaters in the history of this thing.

Dude back in like ‘99 at the skatepark of Tampa he was throwing down huge shit. Everybody was doing tricks over the flat top of the pyramid, then Creager threw down a hard flip LATE kickflip wayyy out to FLAT. The whole Ronnie just stays low to the ground thing is kinda false. Maybe now as an older guy. But I’m his prime he was fairly gnarly as well.

He was one of my idol’s when I was a kid trying to skate. His video parts were the most watched amongst my friends and me. Fast forward 20 years later, I’m golfing with my older brother and one of his friends, turns out it’s Ronnie. Everyone says that you should never meet your heros, that doesn’t apply to him. The dude was one of the nicest, most humble, down to earth dudes I’ve ever met. The dude is a genuine legend.

I'll never forget in early 2000s when Ronnie commented in some magazine how he quit ES because they told him he had to start doing big rails and stairs and he felt like he was being brainwashed. And also politely telling fans he appreciates the offer, but doesn't want to smoke their weed

Ronnie is so soft spoken, seems like the best mentor you can have being in this industry. Always loved his skating baggy pants and bucket hats FTW

Dude looks high as heck

Ronnie Creager was one of the best street skaters for along time . And help design a street style that formed a lot of tricks through a couple different eras. This dude needs his flowers big time . I watched his skating just mesmerized for yrs.

So glad these are back, and what a way to bring them back with this legend.

One time after Blind What If .. I messaged him on MySpace to say how much I liked his part and he totally replied said thank you and Happy Skateboarding ..it really stoked me out !

What an amazing person to have the show return with. Ronnie's skating was always so fluid and clean. Mad respect to the OG.

Ronnie deserves so much more from skating. Straight up. Put him back on blind, reissue all the old boards and pay the man!!! Even if it's for only 2 or 3 years. Just do it, look at how well the old blind reissues are doing. That money could be going to Ronnie

Great guest to start off the Nine Club episodes with again.

Stoked y’all are officially back!👏👏👏

Ronnie Creager was the epitome of "wayyy ahead of the curve" for a loooooong time. everything he did was exactly how i envisioned tech skating was...a lil bit of surf meets precision and almost tom penny-like non chalance..but with that daewon level of tech. thank you for the decades of mindblowing skating.

Superconductor Supercollider was one of the first videos I saw. Ronnie's effortless back and forth between goofy and switchstance blew my mind, and inspired me to learn to skate switchstance. Thanks Ronnie!

Ronnie's timeless style has remained consistent over the years. An absolute legend!

Nice Ronnie you are doing the right thing, never give up on the ideas. Great, honest, humble dude.

My first real board was the Ronnie Creager mix master deck. It was so bad ass I wish I could find it. And recently a homeless guy saw me on my board at the gas station, he had the reaper tat and said he knew at one point Rocco. I gave him a old complete and a 40.

One of my favorite skaters ever. No doubt RC is one of the top most skilled people on a skateboard ever. Doesn't matter how much skateboarding progresses, his skills are timeless. Great interview.

Creager is such a humble O.G. 20 SHOTS & TRILOGY... eS' days and lucky to have a board and a few things from him and the og eS' BLESSED... THANKS RONNIE EVEN WHEN YOU SIGNED MY HOMIES MAG AND WE TALKED AS VANS OG SKATE CONTEST🙌🏾👊🏽🖤🛹🙏🏽💰🥃

I always loved watching Ronnie, thanks for all the great skating. Seems Blind dropped the ball, and thanks Nine Club for coming up with this podcast idea, I love watching them and it's like I get to hang out with you guys and my favourite skaters all the time. You guys ROCK!

Ronnie doesn't give himself enough credit, the impact he made, how ahead of his time he was and he still rips. He was doing shit as hard or harder than the top tech guys are doing now, but he was doing it 20 years ago.

I’m Ronnie’s age and grew up with him since 9 and have to say he’s probably the most real, genuine, giving, nicest dude I’ve been blessed to know. He skated in my driveway at 12 launching over trash cans from janky launch ramps built from scraps and became pro. 🤣 He invented the word buttery

Can't be more honest than Ronnie said "...how bad my flip is..." Man, trully an underrated skater you ever see.

Ronnie Creager is the damn dude.. He's been killing it for so long.

I used to work in the movie industry. I've had so many conversations with some of the biggest "superstars" and never even cared and actually found most of them to be pretty boreing... The one time I finally got to meet Ronnie, I was like a stuttering wierdo. Star struck as fuck...such a fan of this dude...

I remember signing up to his happyskateboarding website as a young kid, Couple weeks later i got a real letter from america with stickers in it. 10 years later i somehow got first at a manny mania contest and got too meet ronnie in real life , the most humble dude! ❤️❤️ thx @nineclub!

I love these interviews. Growing up only seeing these dudes in mags and vids on the other side of the world we had no idea what was really going on behind the lens. Getting to know them now in these long formats is such a gift from the past. Thanks guys

It was funny seeing crob try to contain his excitement at the start of the episode 😅. Great show boys

So great to hear the classic "Well...... We are back..." Hell Yeah! And with a true legend.

Mid-90s… Creager was on bLind from 94’ into the 2010’s, but I wouldn’t say he was part of the “Early Blind days.” He wasn’t even their first “Ronnie.” Early bLind (1989-1991) was Gonz, J. Lee, Jovante Turner (for six months), Danny Way (for 6-8 months), Rudy Johnson, Guy Mariano and Jordan Richter. You could also say the next bLind era “early” with Tim Gavin, Henry Sanchez, Brian Lotti, Ronnie Bertino and Jeron Wilson. After the big GIRL defection/upheaval, bLind got Ronnie Creager on (and Bertino moved over to Plan B).

The OG Shane O'neill

AHH YEEEEEAAAAAAHHH!! RONNIE'S THE OG! HYPED ON THIS

One of my favorite episodes to date. The term legend gets thrown around a lot but Ronnie is an absolute legend and a star while I was growing up and his part in Trilogy was mind-blowing. Thank you Kelly for asking some of those questions I've wanted to know for years like that famous day of tail slides at Dwyer.

Ronnie deserves more recognition!

Ronnie is a GOAT. This episode was what I was waiting for forever. It was great. 🔥

He should be legend status for Blind. Seriously, what are they doing? Look at the Santa Cruz model, they kill it. Their team is stacked with rippers, but they still have (and respect) the OG's in the mix.

Love when you guys have North OC legends on ! Jeremy Wray, Ronnie Creager, James Craig, Danny Garcia. Etc..

My friend Johnny Hill once told me that he saw Ronnie Creager switch backside flip over a bench WITH a back (in San Bernardino).He’s been my favorite skater from that day forward.

Being a old skater from Orange, I was stoked to hear Ronnie mention some the names of a few forgotten talented skaters who skated for Hot Skates. And it is weird that some filmer is named after Josh Beagle too?

Yes, been waiting i years for a Ronnie creager Interview!! Bucket hats and nose blunts and nollie hard flip late flip! Ronnie is one of the goats in skateboarding and underrated!

Ronnie’s part in Menikmati was so good. His style, especially on the backtail flip out, backtail 270 shove on the bench gap. He just has the perfect look to his tricks. Such a rad dude.

TSA + Trilogy Parts = Timeless 🏆 Thanx for all inspiration through decades 👊 😎

What a great guest to start the show back up!!! Ps. Kelly we need those es creagers back! Lol

I never felt like he was less than the other és guys. He and Daewon don't do big rails and stairs but they're still some of the best. Everybody was tripping on how his relationship with Blind ended. Wish things didn't go down like that for him.

I had the pleasure of meeting Ronnie many times in Arizona from ages 16-24! He’s a great dude and will sesh a obstacle with anyone and just have fun while doing insanely technical tricks !

First of all glad yall back, 2nd finally have been waiting 5 years to see creager on here, my favorite skater of all time, when I started skating round 2 blind section was my jam, THANK YOU NINE CLUB

My eyes won't stop looking at the creagers shoes in background. 👀👀👀I miss them

First real pro board back in late summer of 99 was the blind reaper mushroom slick deck complete!!!!! Loved it ! One of my favorite boards ! I was in the 5th grade

Thanks, Chris and company. This shit rules.

ES Team in Limburg Skatepark Germany 98, i don´t know....had no clue they were there.Rolled over to the small quaterpipe in the corner.Ronny was there by himself,no one really noticed him in that moment.I was so damn stoked ,he is so calm & relaxed.He was " just " a part of the session,no big deal !

Ronnie is a living legend! Mr. Consistent. Continues to inspire.

Ronnie was the first dude I remember being able to flip in and out and make it look so easy. Others were doing it but Ronnie had a smooth operator feeling on tech shit. My first real skateboard was a blind reaper board. Shit went when I was 10 in ‘03, 04’

Tim sent me here.

This guy is the goat for Blind skateboard original team

Great episode, love the stop and chat. All the guests are great 🔥

Yes Ronnie, love your skating bro!!

Was a big Creager fan growing up, so I was waiting for this and it didn’t disappoint. This episode was everything I wanted and more!

We used to skate a spine in the neighborhood with Ronnie. I’d work on a trick for a month and when we’d play SKATE and he’d land it first try. You could tell then as a kid that his career was going to take off. Stoked for him that it did.

clearly one of the best episode so far, Ronnie is an inspiration for all of us. He seems like such a nice guy.

Somebody else probably already chimed in, but the Fisher Price kids video camera ran on a cassette tape that's what he's talking about was a music cassette playing cassette could be used to do the video ,It had a trippy up video grainy old school kind of look like a super 8 from 1970s
