@@NkaVidsSkateboarding really enjoyed this episode tho homie. I’ve been peepin all the work you been puttin in on Powell’s channel but I had no clue it was a new partnership. Congrats man keep doing your thing🤙

@user-xm6ro1ep5d Год назад

Nigel was one of the first out there pushing skateboarding into the RU-vid scene, he deserved all the credit Also that he's been able to give spotlight to a lot of upcoming skaters

@Unlockingparadoxes Год назад

Nigel is a legendary human, skateboarder and filmer and he is a gift to humanity and skateboarding.

@mossie7920 10 месяцев назад

Exactly man, he gives spotlight to people that are really fucking good but also are doing their own thing. Different styles can be seen on his channel. I am happy he was able to open up his comment section again. Cuz he received so much hate and had to close it for a while. He is a great skateboarder himself. But he started to broadcast others and that is what life has become eventually. Such a great soul. I love this man for giving controversial and text book skaters a playform ❤ he knows greatness when he sees it. No matter if the masses agrees.

@NicolasPignoux Год назад

NKA should be in every Nine Club episode. He has so much history with every skater!

@johnnyresin Год назад

Nigel's channel was one of the main ones that got me back into skateboarding after many years of basically trying to ignore it because I couldn't afford to get hurt. Thanks to him, and of course y'all at the Nine Club I'm proud to say I've since torn 3 muscles and messed up my knees even worse than they already were! 🤣 Worth it 💚

@Miadaskate Год назад

A long time coming. Nigel is such a legend and he is helping a lot of talented skateboarders get recognized on his channel, and now some of them are on Powell! I discovered John Bradford through Nigel’s channel. It’s really cool to see someone’s talent grow exponentially in skateboarding. Nigel is a total class act.

@SuriSanJose Год назад

Nigel is a legend! Super cool dude. He deserves way more recognition.

@scottgolds7065 11 месяцев назад

Dude Nigel deserves so much respect and thanks. Hes so good for the skateboard community and has done things that has helped push skateboarding to where it is today. Not only humble but truthfully loves it and wants to see others who do as well succeed in it.

@nikkanon Год назад

Nigel is such a down to earth dude, with the biggest heart for skateboarding!

@asuintrototheatre4317 11 месяцев назад

The Powell Peralta marketing approach is 1000% effective. I religiously watch every video uploaded from that ecosystem, and when they talked me back into skateboarding after 15 years, that Andy Anderson board was the first thing I bought. Completely changed my life for the better. Thank you guys.

@landonowens889 8 месяцев назад

All these guys made me wish I never quit! Who knows where my life would be right now if I just kept skating and being part of the culture

@DylanHughesPhotoVideo Год назад

Nigel put up my first full length video “Hullabaloo” on his channel in 2012… Florida video with no big name skaters at the time, although Jamie Foy has a part and went on to be known. Anyway, he was down to post it, and for me at the time that meant a lot. Respect to him for that 🫡

This was such a good episode. Ive been watching Nka for years now, I now have watch so many skaters i would have never known about because of him. Also was cool to see them mention the benches in Oxnard. I would skate them with my homies all the time as a kid.

@box3y Год назад

Nigel is the man!!! He’s been in the game for a while and I love his content. Also major props to the Powell Peralta team as mentioned. Their cross-pollinated content lifts everyone. Andy is great, Nigel is talented, and I’ve been able to find and enjoy Dan, Zach, Chris Hiett, etc by extension.

I met Nigel at the courthouse ledges in 2018 when i was 16. It was my first and only trip to California so far but getting to meet him even just saying hi for a secound and seeing how he is exactly the same on and off camera was the highlight of my trip. Watching his videos for years to get hyped before skating it is cool to know how genuine he his.
