Nice one
Bruh this so tru though
Hehe

I love that this guy doesn't blindly hate scooterers. Like kids on Scooters can be annoying but not everyone is bad.
Is that his BF? Lol
i don't hate scooters just cuz they scoot. i think scoots are lame and usually people who ride them kinda are too.
@@hypurban Dude, that would be a pretty couple.
They litter glass bottles all over my local park.
@@apeapeape999 weirdly skill wise the best craziest people I seen are scootin
I’ll probably never get into vert skating as it is absolutely terrifying to me, but I definitely agree that there should be way more pipes for my vert skaters.
Honestly I think you're safer skating a half pipe than jumping down a set of stairs.
Why should we pay for that though?
@@cjrouse9508 Because it makes a tangible positive difference to a community. Why pay for any park or public attraction? It makes people happy, it spreads joy. It gives kids something to do and a place to challenge themselves. Trust me, your tax dollars go to MUCH more unsavory things than some skateparks you don't want.
@@haikat4 i don't think investing in specific vert half pipes are a wise investment. An overall skatepark maybe, but that would be like putting up speed circle for cycling rather than putting bike lanes on existing roads.
@@cjrouse9508 why pay for public parks at All?
“no skating here”
“but... it’s a scooter”
Trust me that won't work
If I ever own a place with spots that skaters like, I'm putting "skateboarding ENCOURAGED" signs all over it.
blackcorvo I’m gonna do the same thing.People get way too offended over a piece of wood
I'd MUCH rather have all kinds of people hanging out and sharing an experience together than keeping some old slab of concrete intact.
And then when a 8 year olds parents sue you because their dumb kid got injured you'll promptly take the sign down.
@@shatterpointgames that only happens in the US, I'm in Brazil. If a kid here did that, their parents would scold them for not paying attention and promptly ground them from skateboarding for a while.
We don't have that "I'LL SUE EVERYONE" culture you have there.
@@shatterpointgames Actually you can't get sued for that it's not like a lack of a wet floor sign there's no law saying you can't let people skate an area you if they fall, it's on them
im glad im not alone as someone who is completely drenched in sweat after like 10 mins lol
I start sweating in like 5 minutes. You gotta make sure you have electrolytes and salt to go along with your water intake. My friend and I use coconut water, it work great.
Seth Maxwell I start sweating going down a ramp
I start sweating when i l leave my house
I start sweating after waking up
I sweat
The people at 5:23 froze until he finished the trick like waaaaaaa
Ahhaha
It’s the magic of.... *standing still*
5:23 looked like Stan the salesman from Monkey Island. With prices like these you can't afford not to buy a coffin!
wtf
lol I didnt even see them.
I landed my first kickflip today just in time before school starts and i'm so happy
Edit: Follow my instagram @regekalle to see my progress!
I just learned Ollie's so good job.
Wow congrats
I just landed a 50/50 by accident
Welp wish me luck @ 2am bout to also try to land my first kickflip!
Congrats man 👍
Im a grind guy not a ramp
*I totally haven't fell while droping in and I am not scared of them AT ALL*
Lol
Psssshhhhh I know right?? Totally not, at all, just too cool for vert ramps 😎 hahahahaha...haha....ha 👀 yes
But with halfpipes you can grind endlessly from one coping to the next. You make no sense.
@@ischotty3611 r/woosh
Tried dropping in for the first time ab two weeks ago, still have a busted head and concussion😂😭wear a helmet!!
The thing is, you need there to be terrain for different types of skating to exist.
There was literally one vert ramp and you're like "nobody skates vert!"
Go to a city where all the ledges are stoppered and see how many ledge skaters you find.
Is it 2?
1, with a hammer
exactly!
Security guard: no skating
Jon: it’s a scoter
DESTRUCTION: 100

Ape Nation no
@@c0mp ITS A SCOTER MATE LOLOLOLOL
Im sorry i had i too
I think vert is extremely underrated. It's an entirely different skill set. I wish there was more focus on vert, but trends are trends and right now that's concrete skateparks that mimic street spots with a few bowls thrown in here and there. Gotta follow the money to stay relevant.
Myron Mosley i agree with it being under rated but I love almost anything I can get to skate
I think for development of skating the different types/styles of skating are SO important. When all people that skate always do the same things, the only way to improve is going bigger and faster. The whole creative aspect gets forgotten...
There's abundance of transition skating just depends on where your looking at but imo "vert" is transitioning to more different transitions then just str8 up back and fourth vert.
@@the.littlest.toaster well possibly that transition is happening because less people actually have access to the traditional vert ramp. They have to make due. Although that might not be a bad thing because it might stimulate creativity (thereby contradicting myself)
I’m not good at street skating but love vert
John Hill can you also do a video of La street spots versus New York city streets parts
ninja guy6565 but he lives in nyc
@@owenrhodes9209 could drum up old footage though
ninja guy6565 that would be pretty sick bro
similar thing happened in my city
at a park where a soccer field was
i guess ppl didn’t like seeing mexicans play soccer
city put 3 big boulders in the center of the field
crazy
thats fucked
thats so stupid. literally no reason for that and it probably costed tax money because it was done through the city
f in the chat
They took down my basketball hoops because of all the black people coming
Wait... Who else plays soccer in America besides Mexicans? Why did they even build it if they didn't want any darker skin folk playing on it?
We need more street sessionairs
Lol
I gotchu
IMO vert bowls are good enough for free parks, with half pipes as well. Good vert ramps are more of a cost to maintain out doors, where a deep concrete bowl will last years of neglect.
But don't they get full of tree leaves ans shit?
@@Anthonybrother Every park deserves a broom lying around.
@@Anthonybrother People who wanna skate will clean
Maybe they thought since it was a halfpipe it also needed a full pipe LOL
I hate puns
@@ross5631 lmao
I'm a female skater from Nevada and honestly just want to thank you for all of the inspiration you give me. I'm so new to skating, but your flow helps me feel and understand skating better so I can improve myself.
After doing scooters for 10 years, ive gained a interest in vert skating.
I've messed around with alittle transition but not much.
My home town just opend up a very very nice park!
This park being mostly transition has a 12+ ft vert bowl at the end.
I'm buying a new setup to skate this!
@john hill you have to at least google this park!!!
Lake Elsinore CA
Mcvicker skatepark
You have to check out the most recent photos, as our old park was wooden.
I'm sure you won't be disappointed in this park 🤙
Were you park or street on the scoot?
Watching this guy is like therapy, was so stressed in my own life until I watched this and forgot about everything
I like how you blurred his face out but not when you filmed Jon’s screen😂😂
Problem is with the lack of vert ramps its hard for new skaters to get into it hence the lack of interest
Bones Brigade DON’T FORGET. Vert will always be KING 👑.
I cannot emphasize how much I love your videos man. It just makes me want to go out and skateboard more. I might not be able to Ollie while rolling yet but u make me more hyped on progressing and having fun because that’s what skateboarding is all about
U gotta learn to land softer,
-Ur knees
Love how you time your skating vids to the songs
One thing that I picked up on that you said and I say this too..."I appreciate you!" Often people say " I appreciate it." I like to recognize the person for the effort and not just "it" and I think that it really shows respect more than anything. Keep up the good work John.
I’m a little late in the comments but I’ve been watching you for a year and a half now and I love how you skate with scooters and show the peace. I know some scooters don’t have park technique but that’s just as many as skaters and I love how you burry the hatchet with scooters and skaters and just show the love. I’ll keep watching and liking as long as you stay positive. thanks man✊🏽
I'm partial to street skating. When I started skating in the 90's my hometown didnt have any parks so we rode around town looking for good spots. We skated a lot of churchs cause they always had the best stair sets and most of the time they didnt mind as long as it wasnt during services.
7:28 he is not taking his pants off, he's whipping our the belt 😂
I love your videos and I love all of your wallpapers stickers fingerboards and everything thank you so much for always making my day progress daily
Love to see the chillness yo so much fun seeing other people being happy and being able to be happy for them. You are so consistant it makes me mad. And john on the scooter is for like "how do I like watching someone scoot"? But John and John has legit broke the barrier between skaters and scooterers
"Can I skate here ? "
Security "No?"
When you question reality 😂🤣
When he was doing a manual it looked like the ppl in the background were frozen and he had to land it for them unfreeze
I love how John always plays jazz as background music it’s just amazing idk
I remember this channel from awhile ago. Glad its growing in popularity. The content is always cool, entertaining, well shot and edited. I hope you quit your day job already and are getting by skating and doing this. Continued success in the future and keep grinding.
One Love

I’m feeling totally washed up. I’m 29 I broke my foot on the mini ramp at spot last year doing a f***ing axle stall to fakie. Everything scary now. These videos are gonna get me back out there though 🍻
make a video about moving to NYC!!! I'm from Australia and thinking about doing it! your da best john keep shredding :))
I love seeing the couple in the background all smiles watching you manual the corners!
My boy John hill back at it again with a banger video, love you man keep it up💯💯
Oh man riverside was a level in Thrasher skate and destroy on playstation1!! Awesome place :)
Appreciate ya.... there's that Carolina lingo. Shout out from the 803
Solid Rock 803 in the house!!!
Its actually rlly cool that you also include fails, i started like 2 months ago, its actually refreshing seeing someone fsileven tho thrir rlly good at skating
It makes me upset that this park is gone. I love the new one but this was my skatepark growing up, and I learned skating by skating VERT. I remember the first time I ever stepped on a board it was dropping in on the half pipe there. RIP BLUE RIVER PARK 😭
I enjoy carving bowls and snake runs. For instance, Grant Park in Chicago could have been way better if they incorporated more vert into their park. They literally built an all street park in the city that supports real street skating.
I like Jon, can we keep him?
I used to skate vert in my younger days. Finding a decent public ramp was always a massive challenge as a) wood works best but requires lots of upkeep and b) they have to be build on as low gradient as possible or you get massive air on one side and yet struggle to reach the lip on the other.
Great vid dude , enjoyed it , cool to see the real street spots 👍😎
Riverside Skatepark is not new. it's also barely ever open. That was the first skatepark i went to as a kid in middle school (which was a couple blocks away). Got my first skate-related concussion there too haha. Ripe age of 11!
Hey John Hill can you do a video of slides vs grinds
ninja guy6565 when it’s metal it’s a grind. When it’s wood it’s a slide.
@@hunterignatius3798 not true a grind is when you do it with your truck a slide is when you do it with your board like a board slide or nose slide blunt and lip Etc
ninja guy6565 first off, I’m talking about the material on the board, second why do you care for John to make the video? Your clearly well aware of the difference🤦♀️
@@hunterignatius3798 for him to tell us which is better for like distance and stuff
ninja guy6565 think for yourself
I love the riverside park, used to skate the old one a ton when I was a kid. I learned to drop in on the mini pipe that was there and the first half pipe that actually had vert that I dropped in on was there
Haha. Love that you made a new friend shooting this video.
Hey John, what kind of lakai’s are those? (Please like so he can respond lol.)
Hey i figured it out the answer is idk imsosorryandI hopeyoufindwhatyour lookingforthisisntahatecommentitsjusttobefunny
The Red ones look like Bristol burgundy and the White are most likely flaco 2
Red = Bristol
White = Flaco 2
They are the Vans clone kind.
@@ipissed Bruh they are not like vans at all
What I’m watching: Sloths fighting
UA-cam Recommendations: Wanna watch some people skate?
Shouldn't it be the other way around
I like how he adds in questions so we can watch what we like, john hill for president.
Bowls and Vert Ramps is WHAT drew me to skateboarding.
What skate board would you recommend because I wanna try something different instead of scooters

I watch your vids during physical therapy to stay motivated
Sølo keep going you’re gonna recover and get better from what happens
@@hugo.bonillas2826 thank you
whahahhahah man I love the atmosphere and the chemistry between the two johns. so funny to see them killing it together and having a great time. even made me laugh a little:)
Nice video keep us updated on riverside will be nice to see it progress . Do they have completion date in mind ?
No one:
Me: OMG he has a RJ pop socket!

It is always a pleasure to see you skate, John.
Vert skating sounds so fun, so I built a quarter pipe and put a piece of plywood at the bottom, my wheel caught, and the downward motion made me eat shit, it hurt like hell but I can’t wait to be able to roll away
Hey John Hill can you also do a video of vert vs. Street
Do your airpods ever fall out while skating?
I doubt it, because if your normal iphone earpods don't fall out airpods won't
Just buy a pair like jabras that actually fit
Bro I’m hype I did my first ollies today!!
Dude I grew up skating this park. The only person I knew that skated that ramp back in the days was the homie Elliot Sloan. They forced pads and helmets and even made up pay to skate. Few things got moved around but it was chained up mostly. Grants tomb and riverbank are all in the loop. Nice vid! Takes me back.
Cool
00:40 They've made such process
I'd take vert over street any day, way too many street / scooter parks popping up with zero bigger ramps being built.
I'd also take vert over street as it's easier to find random ledges / benches than something resembling a vert ramp
@@dennisthemenace5078 absolutely, street was always about "the streets" quite literally, as kids in the 80's we never had street skate parks, watch videos like Santa Cruz Speed Freaks or Powell Peralta's Ban This and Public Domain the whole world is a street skate spot you just have to use your eyes and imagination. unless you are lucky enough to have a 1960's/1970's backyard pool you need to have vert built for purpose which is money far better spent imho.
something interesting that I just realized is that I feel like John's videos now instead of his old normal vlogs they are now just behind the scene videos of how he gets his Instagram story videos and I love that
I live in Memphis TN and I have 3 parks near me. the indoor one I go to most has a 13 ft vert ramp that Ive seen about 3 people in total ever skating. most people just like there 3 ft mini ramp, but they still don't take it out because there are some who do still like skating it with me included (tho I suck)
Vert skating is 100000% better.
i agree
Allround skating is the best
"Vert is dying"... what are you smoking, couldnt be more wrong
Ben Wilson I’m a street skater and I literally have dreams of riding vert and I wake up wishing I was good at vert
I might be moving up to that side of the country next year so I hope to skate the new park when it opens!
In my town we only have very skaters. Not many skaters are nearby though. We have a lot of people with scooters who also onl6 do vert. As for me I don’t skate street. Perhaps the odd flat ground trick but I am new and have focused on building my way up to vert by dropping off of the blocks and soon the smaller ramps. I also go back and forth with the quarter pipes and end up about half way up.
No offence to vert but if you had to choose just one: STREET > VERT
No offense but that’s a stupid opinion. Look at John Cardiel.
@@Souran123 Ok? He's a legendary skater. I was responding to John Hills question. The reason why you're getting so emotional is because vert is gradually becoming less popular than street over the years which is why more skateparks being made are moving towards street skating instead of vert.
And I said "if I had to choose" obviously, as a skater I would enjoy both if being offered simultaneously when given the option
Rip riverside. I'm a Blader who doesn't skate vert but I def appreciate a vert ramp and love to skate it whenever I'm at Woodward. I think it's cool to have the option, not everyone should skate curbs. I can see how the city would see it as a hazard since kids could hit their heads from 13ft trying to drop in. I dig your vids man, keep them coming
John and jon together give me a fox and the hound type feel
Such a fun video dude
I’ve never skated in my life before but I watch every single video you post. I love the content.
u whole skate it’s so fun
I have never gone skateboarding or ever will but I love this channel.
Hey john, that park is pretty close to my apartment and it is almost done now! I’m so excited to start skating more park!
Just started skating and I love just doing clean lines in the bowl, just pumping up and gaining speed and going up and down. I think I’d love vert skating I just gotta get better.
Such a good video. Editing is nice.
2:26 that’s the park i used to go to haven’t been there in a min soccer, football, track ,indoor basketball and outside college parties
it’s strange to see ur point of u on it i live in san diego california and vert and bowl skating are super common and tons of kids adults and old dudes do it , but of course the east coast is not known for vert or bowl, awesome video showing s different point of view , i’m a long time viewer but never have heard u talk about it
My parents took my friend and I to riverside probably 20 years ago and the vert ramp was chained then too.
I love it when my local skatepark makes such process
I LOVE THE SMILES IN PEOPLES FACES WHEN THEY WALK BY
my first memories were at that exact skatepark as a little kid. visited new york recently and wanted to go back there and saw that it was all torn up
5:23 I love the way you shake your arms lol
Omg iv seen that place so many times when I lived in Brooklyn
5:22 shout out to those lovely people in the back 😊
I love skating VERT!! It's so sad that it is a scarcity.. My nerest vert is over an hour away with my car. And when you have kids on your own and a full time job, you basically never skate Vert.... 😭
Dang, I can’t believe you were actually in my area of manhattan. I haven’t been to riverside park in so long. hope you had a good time there. Woah you even went up my hill
I love how you cut the landing with the music haha
I fell in love with vert skating a few years ago after years of not really skating. Vert made me get back into skating again! That street park looks amazing and I wouldn't complain about it. Why don't they just keep that already existing half pipe in the corner where it looks like there is going to be an area with trees in the top right side of that picture at 0:59?
Dude huge shoutout to this for not trashing scooting. I skate, and I’ve never got the hate between the communities!?
Is every ledge that smooth??? Like dang my dude your Smith grinds are structured as hell!!! Much love from okc
