When I was growing up Dune lived down the street. He would skate the local school with me. I didn’t know who he was at the time but he was always super nice. Always giving me decks. Literally pulling over when he noticed me on the street. He would give me those bamboo decks stereo made. Best dude ever. Even still he’s always been the same and never changed his views or morals. I try to reciprocate the same kindness to kids now just as he did to me.
I think Dune deserves at least 4 specials before his intro. He's one of the most important people in the history of skating at least through the 90's. I've been hoping and waiting for this interview for a while. Thanks Nine Club!
That was so sick. You guys are killing it. Love this shit. Im 53 skate every day don't drive or have a license. Watching the nine club and experience and stop and chat give me fire to skate after doing it for 43 years. Keep it up guys. Roger rules. Slap the gap
Met Chris at the X Games as a youngster and had recognized him from The Daily Habit. My dad and I introduced ourselves and he invited us into his suite. So gracious and cool to my pops and I. legend
Was lucky enough to get a Dune’s Stereo deck designed by Alyasha. Dune even did a drawing of Thelonious Monk on the outside of the box it was shipped in. I’m never getting rid of that box by the way.
Pastras is a legend. Great episode! To keep it consistent with the announcer category, it would be cool to hear Selema (Sal) Masakela's story. Dude was the voice of actions sports for my generation in the late 90's - early 00's.
Amazing interview. I loved the focus on Stereo history. It seems like Stereo becomes a footnote to Jason’s movie career in most interviews and it’s a shame. I hope Dune was serious when he said Lee wants to come on the show. I’d love to hear him walk through his skate career.
Yo thank you to everybody who worked on making Home Depot and Costco skateable, ive spent so much alone time skating those places when I had nowhere else to go in the wee hours. It’s really cool that these random spots have whole scenes around them.. and the beach too! Fuck man., I really need skateboarding and it’s good to have a place to feel comfortable being yourself for a while even if it’s under a freeway or the back of a parking lot.
I thought he meant Dune was a satanist. Natas is the male version of Natasha is believe and it is his real name, he’s not a satanist. People always talk about Gonz but Natas will always be the king of street skating for me.
So dope, really loved the brotherhood story between him and Rodney Smith, how their parents were connected too. Lastly, so cool knowing Kareem was recruited for Blue early on before World. Motivated to run my own operation just like Dune.
Dune is seriously a huge inspo on following your dream and being TRUE to yourself no matter what. His vision never veered from what he wanted and he fought to keep it. I have the Home Depot graphic on the wall signed, in front of me while I work at my desk, above my Daewon Kill Bill graphic, for motivation. PS. LAVAR on the OG Stereo team is the BEST. Lotta love, Dune.
This was so refreshing to see this meeting of the minds, Chris Roberts is a great interviewer but Chris Pastras gave him and the boys a master class on how to do it lol
@@ambientjohnny His ability to have a face to face conversation with his guests, while being welcoming, conversational, and considerate at the same time
I remember those shut guys coming to the park in sayreville nj in around 88/89 Mike Keeper was doing lofty ollies in the mini ramp. Mike V came there that year too. I was fifteen.
First place that i seen Dune on was Bluetorch used to watch it/record it immediately after school before going out to skate! Seen Crob on there too! I still have that vhs and cant believe that was 20 years ago this Sept!🤘👽
Stereo better load up on boards cuz the Nine Club is one hell of a marketing platform. Which by the way is awesome for smaller Brands and Legacy brands. Where else can you advertise for free and you know that 100,000 skaters are going to see it.
Love Chris “Dune” Pastras, total legend. It was great to hear more about Blue > Stereo, but I wish they spent even more time on that period. It’s also still a “mystery” why Gonz left bLind and fell out with Rocco (I understand that it was because of Ternasky coming in and starting Plan B through World).
So good. The Tortoise-heavy soundtrack, the editing, etc. It’s amazing. I remember watching it a bunch in my college dorm room in 1996-1997. A Visual Sound is better in regards to the skating, but the music and vibe of Tincan Folklore is a lot more interesting.
@@bennyshambles yeah dude it's more of an art piece. Low fi and raw. I was always into raw Street runs just pushing and taking it as it comes. The whole thing just clicks for me.
Not only do thing like curb clips speak to someone like me, but to see curb clips from like, crob and bagley, and dudes I admire so much is so fucking rad because it is stuff i can do. Just because you post clips/skate curbs doesn't mean you can't ALSO post other stuff too. Seeing stuff from people that stoke me out so much that I can actually do makes it that much more meaningful to me.
I had Lavar wheels. 38 mm. Also, had a Jason Lee Stereo deck. Race car type graphic with yellow background, but I can never find a picture of it. Damn I wish I kept that board.
Fuck Yeah! Dune gave props to Duck Tran & John Orlanes! The 2 mentioned & Wilbur should’ve had some kind of spot on LA Boys. That whole Rene’s Records/Skate Shop(Melrose) Crew was super heavy!
i am a recent amputee,lost my right leg to pyoderma gangrenosum,a rare skin disease.been surfing & skating since 1967 and soon i am hoping to get back up on my skateboard,thats my goal but i am still in alot of pain and discomfort.how can i get on the nine club???
Twist is the illest, but I don’t think he did any graphics for Stereo. I’m pretty sure he meant Krush aka Jeremy Nathan (RIP), who was a staff artist at Deluxe back then

An interesting event! Thank you for using our product and sharing the skating experience of Chris Pastras.
Hook these guys up(if you haven't already!?) The show has been going from strength to strength over the years. Be rad if you guys got onboard 👍
Agreed with George Crooke. Hook up the nine club team, please! 🙏🏾
Jason Lee if you see this PLEASE do the show!
Hell yeah 🤘🤘😂😆😆
That is the one I am waiting for....him and of course Gonz. They must do it!
Sheffey tooo!
Hey max it’s Jason, sure I’ll do the show simply Venmo me a bit a cash for the trouble my freind?
ding ding!

What a epic episode!!! Chris has been such a inspiration in everything he has done. From skating to being a announcer. True legend of the sport!!!

hope this helps Stereo get a bump this last quarter
Stereo was at the Olympics
Slappy tips are seriously much appreciated! What a great, intelligent dude
You guys have been on fire with the guest lineup. I am waiting for the day Natas makes it on the show.
Screw that satanist hes evil.
@@jamesmata2945 any proof to back up that comment?
Natas might accidently end up on the show

I'm so glad you mentioned Mondo Vision with Gonz 50-50 in New York

Lol the Gonz impression was spot on😂
37:40 REAL HIGH
Love how he knows in the beginning he’s monopolizing the vibe Love Dune
It's good to hear the story of how Stereo all started,great interview,thank you guy's.

I too kept old boards from when I was ripping. Definitely kept the ones I enjoyed the most.

Maybe Timing is Everything... that’s words to live by right there
I would lose my mind if y'all could get Jason Lee on the show. Holy shit the stories that dude has to have.
🤘🤘🤘🤘
Anybody ever heard of 2 plus fish?
@@connordios1105 Can't say I have. Now I want to know?

One of my favorite ones yet. Love me some Chris Pastras. Get J. Lee on. Epic.
I can honestly say Dunes' artwork has inspired me. With my own stuff.
I had that Kareem Blue Deck… Wish I still had that board
Monday morning Dune shit yeah,love Stereo great brand ,so miss the 90's...
Carnegie Mellon is a great school. Chris was a generation of skaters after us 86-87. I also love how Chris and Jason are such great friends.
Dune, your artwork on some of our stereo orders inspired my own artwork on my orders. Much love.
Thank you! Much love right back at ya!
Rad! I’ll do more!
I still have 2 shirts that Chris had thrown to me on the Aftermath tour in Europe (the Netherlands) It was sooo epic! Got a lot of autographs too.
edit: exceptional episode, thank you! Dune rules. Thanks for the slappy tips!!!!
Tincan Folklore is the greatest skate video ever made. It's informed my whole life.
So good. The Tortoise-heavy soundtrack, the editing, etc. It’s amazing. I remember watching it a bunch in my college dorm room in 1996-1997. A Visual Sound is better in regards to the skating, but the music and vibe of Tincan Folklore is a lot more interesting.

I always thought it was from the book or movie Dune. Like he was obsessed with it as a kid. Way better story on how he got it lol.
So sick you guys put the dudes boards up on the wall depending on the guests keep killin it!!!
Happy 200k Nine club!
Much love from Washington
1000 🤘🤘🤘
Great episode! Love the stories. God bless yall 9 club family
s/o 2 the cheapskates reference. grew up skating that place. R.I.P. sean miller n tom boyle

Prince sign o times is fantastic!!! Haha
I love seeing guys on here with water instead of alcohol as their beverage. The healthier you are the LONGER you can skate.❤
DUNE !!!! great stuff
Thank you Nine Club.
About time, love this guy!
Let's move on from the Olympic criticism. Well documented.
For real, we got it Chris…
🧂
Please get Jason lee
I'll never forget Fuel TV LOLLL
200k! That's a lotta ol' buddies!
damn name dropping onyx cafe! lita was so fine lol
rupert safkin from 'hittin the streets'!
Gratz on the 200k subs!
Dune gave me a yOsiris sticker 20 years ago in Wellington New Zealand. He was tour manager of Boulala, Hsu, his bf Barletta and James Brockman.
first pro I seen that looked like me. In hindsight as an adult that has an affect on you. I even had the green world industries T-shirt !
DUNE4LIFE
I had Lavar wheels. 38 mm. Also, had a Jason Lee Stereo deck. Race car type graphic with yellow background, but I can never find a picture of it. Damn I wish I kept that board.
Jason Lee interview next??
Sick episode! Loved hearing Chris & Chris talk about commentating. Andrew Cannon & Paul Zitzer next please!
Yes Dune ♥️
No mention of the dune baby graphic?
Dune is so sick
Slappies are rad. Salba sauce.
Not sure what "hay day" means, but Dune was part of mine for sure!
"heyday" means "prime"
@@nikokaapa I know, I just mean why do they call it that.
@@RicosTinFoilSombrero
Well, apparently "Heyday comes from the old Germanic word 'heida' meaning 'hurrah!'"
@@nikokaapa oh wow. That's cool! I guess I could've looked it up. I'm 44 so my 1st instinct isnt always Google. Haha
Thanks!
Stand up guy. This man had a life worth emulating
Jason Lee is the most underrated skater in history...he invented modern skating
Get John Lucero on
I always wondered about the Dune name. I remember you could hear someone say Mardune! In Tincan Folklore. Cool to hear the origin story ;)
Love these... fills in the blanks we always never knew about
Pastras loves Jazz!! That's awesome
can someone put a shim under Kellys table leg please?
you guys should turn Jeron's mic up a bit
I noticed this during the Suciu ep too.
Dude looked faded on this episode
Chris's last name implies some sort of event called the "Ras" and I just wonder when it happened and when he was Preras.
Pastras is the man!
i remember this homie from the Fuel tv days
The Legend DUNE
Fuck Yeah! Dune gave props to Duck Tran & John Orlanes! The 2 mentioned & Wilbur should’ve had some kind of spot on LA Boys. That whole Rene’s Records/Skate Shop(Melrose) Crew was super heavy!
This was awesome. I want to hear from Ray Barbee
damn!!! the boards behind Kelly!!! wow
dude....I remember buying stereo boards here in Croatia in 1997....had no idea those were 3 year old boards
This episode is so good! Thanks guys…
Gotta get Jim Greco on
Great episode
Give runs one extra attempt then make one of those scores count. Final would be 1 RUN - 3 best tricks
HERO !
Love Letters...Curbs
Chris should listen to his interview advice. He’s always answering the questions he asks instead of waiting for the answer
Has anyone seen C Robb and Mr Burns in the same room? Just like no one has ever seen Bruce Wayne and Batman in the same place.🤔
after overt 20 year break from skating i got a stero board love it
i am a recent amputee,lost my right leg to pyoderma gangrenosum,a rare skin disease.been surfing & skating since 1967 and soon i am hoping to get back up on my skateboard,thats my goal but i am still in alot of pain and discomfort.how can i get on the nine club???
You guys should get Tony Trujillo
Is Jeremy Klein ever gonna get on?
Love this 🔥
Legend Chris Pastras🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dune is the man.
Big up the twist mention !
Twist is the illest, but I don’t think he did any graphics for Stereo. I’m pretty sure he meant Krush aka Jeremy Nathan (RIP), who was a staff artist at Deluxe back then
@@Halluciskation he must be remembering some other shit man, thanks for the info! Love it when a tattoo artist or graff writer makes a graphic
another banger !!🔥
now we need Jason!
