Karl has always been an amazing person, skateboarder and just all around positive influence on the world. Blessed to have known him since 1989. He’s a legend.

Andrew Huberman is a pseudoscience grifter who gives faulty medical information to the masses while also maintaining close ties to alt-right fascists and Qanon/MAGA types like little man Jocko, Rogan, and J. Peterson, etc. Real medical professionals see Hubermans grift from a mile away. Disgraceful.

Nick's Dad is the man for noticing Karl could've gone down the wrong path and invited him in to a better life! So rad!

@blueboi.paints Месяц назад

The stories of him getting hyped for others, regardless of ability, are absolutely true. I remember being 12 years old at Pier 7 and doing a very “little kid” manual trick. Karl yelled out and clapped when I landed it. It made me so hyped. It’s a little gesture, but has a huge impact on others, especially when we’re young. His skating, style, and attitude are what make him a legend.

@CROWSLAW Месяц назад

I grew up in the bay and would see Carl everywhere. Then I went to Woodward Pennsylvania and he recognized me at Woodward as a camper. I felt so cool. Took me under his wing the whole week.

@amgone75dm Месяц назад

Karl is so down to earth and one of the nicest dudes out there. I remember back in 98 ,Alex Klein introduced me to Karl and he was working at a pizza joint. Karl hooked us up with pizza and just seeing him in person you can tell his energy is so pure. His skateboarding speaks for itself. Such a great dude!!

@alexrekzu4079 Месяц назад

I was in a bad mood before I watched this and Karl mellowed me out. ✊solid dude

@joeydlc Месяц назад

It's wonderful to witness Karl's optimistic attitude and enthusiasm towards life. I would like to extend my appreciation to Karl and the Nine Club for their consistently impressive episodes.

@js92css Месяц назад

Keep up the OG interviews! As much as i love the 90's World skaters, I'd love to also hear from the New Deal guys? Especially Ron Knigge, that dude is a competitive cake maker now? Thats a story right there!

@ryckgarcia9297 Месяц назад

@johnnypea43 Месяц назад

Great to hear Karl's stories. I also worked hard to get a passable switch push but I still look like it's my first day skating. I accept my place in the switch-mongo family.

@ReesgAnimator Месяц назад

Most anticipated guest! Thankyou big dawgs 👏

@redtelephone1 Месяц назад

Seems countless people have had the same sort of interaction with Karl - running into him at Pier 7 or 3rd & Army, and he makes a point of saying what's up, or giving props if he sees you land something you had been working on. I personally experienced that on 2 different trips to SF, and Mike York had the same sort of vibe - says hi to everyone at the spot and is just generally friendly. I remember Karl had his son with him skating an OG Tony Hawk Powell board with the crazy Lamar snowboard style nose one time at 3rd & Army, and he recognized my friend's brand on the tee I was wearing, was super hyped and told me to say hi for him. Best dude.

Karl Watson! The best skater and author! I read “My First Skateboard: When Jonas meets Jack” to my kids nearly every night! “On that day, Jonas was first to the spot…”

@aleclikespie19 Месяц назад

Met Karl skating Moraga Commons around 2017. Guy is one of the nicest pros I’ve ever met. He literally learned everybody’s name at the park and did not mind chatting it up with anyone who wanted to. Mans great.

@travisfrank2977 Месяц назад

Karl Watson is a real one. He stays true to his vision and maintaining an ethos of respect and camaraderie with skaters whom he receives inspiration from (and, in turn, he is held in the highest regard by all whom he inspires and has inspired over the decades which have paved the path to his eternal legacy). He will always be one of my favourite skaters of all time!

@genesung5589 Месяц назад

Pier 7 was kind of an intimidating place and the 90's was the era where skaters kept to themselves. I showed up by myself and see Karl sitting down on his skateboard amongst friends. We don't know each other all, but first thing he does is give a big smile and a hello. Legend and a great heart.

@eatassonthefirstdate Месяц назад

like if u rolled up and you were doing simple stuff, like 50-50 fs 180 out, would Pros hate on you n make u leave? or were they cool n let you learn? like back then u could mess up someone's 411 part or sum'm man😮

@alexc8533 Месяц назад

Karl just seems like the best dude. Some really philosophical moments in this episode about the unforeseeable impact of the seemingly small choices you make. This is an excellent episode!

I’ve only ever heard people say nice things about Karl. The first thing people say after his name is mentioned is what a cool dude he is. Even without all the accomplishments and legacy left in skateboarding, he’ll be remembered by many simply because he’s such a great human. That’s really cool.

@ROCKBOIENT Месяц назад

He'd roll up to the spot and greet everybody. Acknowledged all and shook their hands. Coolest human being for sure.

What a great Human. Thanks for having him on. Now can you please bring back the funny titles for Kelly? We all miss them

@GO-lh3rt Месяц назад

47:40 this is legitimately the best thing about skateboarding. Being hyped on your friends progress. It's so beautiful. You hang out with this same crew day in, day out, and you all know each others likes, dislikes, favourite skaters, favourite teams, style, their bangers, their funny little goofy tricks, you know what they can and can't do right now, and then they nail that trick they've been talking about and you're genuinely stoked, genuinely proud of them. Because they aren't in competition with you, they're your homies : )

My homie and I used to skate at Third and Army regularly, we would see Karl there a lot. One day for no reason he calls us over to his Audi TT and gives us each a new set of wheels with the most gracious face, and asks for nothing in return. One of the most humble and nicest dude in skateboarding, a small moment that I still think about over 10 years later.
