honestly one of my favorite episodes. So refreshing to hear someone talk uncensored instead of trying not to hurt any feelings. Not to worry Captain Kelly is here to save the day hahaha

Don't even need to listen to a second and I know this one is gonna be good. All those old Philly stories. Fuck yes these are the episodes that got me stoked on the Nine Club to begin with. Fuck yes.

So glad I watched this. He's got some Mike V story telling skills. I never heard of him but that's on me not skating thru the 90's. The man has got some great stories and he's rubbed shoulders with the best of the best. I loved the Love Park stuff. Something tells me he's appreciated within the industry. Proper humble bloke.

Great episode! Gotta bring him back for more stories!!! Need part 2! Like Crob says I think the industry ones are even more fascinating than a pro's story! Also someone in comments said it's so refreshing to hear someone talk off the cuff without censoring themselves in this too sensitive culture! I agree so much! Thanks guys

I bought my first set of ceramic swiss at age 37. My setup now is Powell madness. Swiss ceramics. Flight deck. Dragon Wheels. Bones rails. It had always been my dream as a kid to own the ceramic bearings just because it seemed so out of reach. They are the best. Smooth, fast, and they sound amazing. The ultimate dad setup. $350 setup and just rolling around doing shitty kickflips with my dad boobs waving in the breeze.
