You don’t know me John but I used to watch your videos about 6 years ago when I was 13 years old. You were my very first inspiration to do daily vlogs but there’s only so much I could do at 13. I’m in college now and finally vlogging. its so refreshing to see you doing well, and i’m glad you still upload. thank you for continuing to inspire me ❤
I've always loved mini decks I'd buy them every time I'd see them. It was 7.25 X 29.5 Those were so fun to skate. Did my first nollie down a 4 stair with it.
Ended with a fat banger love it , backside heel was my go too and you killed that boy with style . Requesting a saucy inward heel down something in the near future
I just got back into skating after 30+ years. Late 80s early 90s I skated. I bought 2 boards ( a 8.5 popsicle and a 9.35 shaped deck) and I love the old school shaped Santa cruz better ....
Noooo, I'm getting one and putting risers, cruiser wheels, and rails on that thing. I love riding short cruiser boards when I take my dog on runs and this would let me do tricks easier :D
my son and daughter both use a mini deck of powell, daughter is 4 years old and use the 7inch wide and 28 inch length of powell. And my son use the 7.5inch wide and 28.65inch length. Normal deck size was to big for them, and since my son use the smaller deck he can move the board better and my daughter do her drop ins with hands better then before as its less weight for them :)
Plot twist, the board sizes in the skate franchise is actually mini board size. The people who nerd out making realistic to scale parks in 3, figured it out when comparing sizes to get idea of park sizes.
when I was around 9 years old (now 27) I used a mini board for about a year because they were the cheapest option and couldn't get a full size one at the time. Honestly I enjoyed the f out of it lol.
im pretty sure that mini board was the same size that Rodney Mullen used in the old freestyle days lol also this would be perfect for getting kids into the sport.
Not to beat a dead horse, but unless your videos are posted way out of order I still haven’t seen a single pair of slip ons since the “why I only skate slip ons” video. What was the point
JOHN 3:16 God came to earth as Jesus Christ to wash away our sins with his blood and on the third day rose from the dead. God paid for our sins in full. Jesus Christ is Lord! ROMANS 10:9-10
Amen bother. Feel free to copy this ABC’s of SALVATION ADMIT: You’re a sinner, condemned to DEATH (physical & spiritual) . Romans 3:10, 23 There is none righteous, no, not one … For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Romans 6:23 & James 1:15 the wages of sin is death … sin, when it is finished bringeth forth death. (Spiritual death is eternity in HELL !) BELIEVE: that JESUS died, rose again, and that HE ALONE can save you from sin, death, and hell. Romans 10:9-10 if you: believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness. CONFESS: JESUS CHRIST, and nothing else, as your own Saviour. Romans 10:9, 10 & 13 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus … confession is made unto salvation … whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Before it’s too late, forever, DO IT NOW! God’s gift is FREE and as easy as A-B-C !
I must be getting old... this is the 3rd time minis have been cool in my lifetime.
i’m 19 and this is the second time, at least for me, i grew up on those cheap mini boards wrapped in plastic with hard wheels and bad bearings
Let’s be honest, Tech Deck fingerboards are the OG mini
Only an OG will know
No tech deck handboards were
Minis are the og minis lmao tech decks are tech decks 😆
Real tho
Naw the handboards. Playing games of skate at the park on a handboard during session breaks
You won John... You actually made me get back on a skateboard after 13 years
W🤧
It's fun just to skate something different sometimes... don't overthink it. It's way easier to do tricks on smaller boards. Hence 7.5's in the 90's.
I skate a 7.5 to this day. I feel like I can’t since that’s been my board size for the last 16/17 years. Stubborn I guess.

i actually like this style with a filmer , feels more casual
So HILARIOUSLY STUPID how good you are on this mini board 😂
I've always loved mini decks I'd buy them every time I'd see them. It was 7.25 X 29.5
Those were so fun to skate. Did my first nollie down a 4 stair with it.
John, watching you skate is always such a treat!
3:20 Best laugh ever! That laugh makes me want to get a short board just to mess around on with friends at the park.
If anything they’re getting wider but definitely more compact. The sk8 mafia mini is like a novelty. I’d want one for my kid but he is too scared.
In the early 2000s me and my friends stayed at the 7.5 range then my one buddy pulled up with a 8.25 foundation and we were amazed!
My son has a cheap mini board and I love how light it is makes it easy to do flat ground tricks
I feel like college skaters would love these cause they can prolly fit in backpacks
I was just thinking the same thing
I never thought of that that's fucking genius if only i had the money to spare
Nah I feel like with the small board it would feel off putting to push for long distance, especially pushing around a college campus
I love your long format videos!
You need to film a video with one of our BrakeBoards! People are loving them.
Dude you are sooo underrated Not just the content. You are soo structured
I like the new filmer. This style of filming is very fun. Dudes got a good energy too.
I personally think this is one of your best videos to date! Amazing!!!
Ended with a fat banger love it , backside heel was my go too and you killed that boy with style . Requesting a saucy inward heel down something in the near future
bro it's insane how the sk8mafua guys are doin kickflip backtails on that thing
now I want to see you do this on the mini boards from like 5below/walmart lol
Dope vid and dope trucks i dream to be like u one day bro
Your commentary is funny. I like it a lot. Also it looks like having a filmer is good for your motivation.
I just got back into skating after 30+ years. Late 80s early 90s I skated. I bought 2 boards ( a 8.5 popsicle and a 9.35 shaped deck) and I love the old school shaped Santa cruz better ....
What Santa Cruz board did you get
Noooo, I'm getting one and putting risers, cruiser wheels, and rails on that thing. I love riding short cruiser boards when I take my dog on runs and this would let me do tricks easier :D
Really wanted to see a 360 over the stairs, but super cool over all
Peeping them sick Obey shorts daddy J 👀
That's tight man, I probably couldn't land anything on that tiny board
I watch every vid and learn from you
my son and daughter both use a mini deck of powell, daughter is 4 years old and use the 7inch wide and 28 inch length of powell. And my son use the 7.5inch wide and 28.65inch length.

Love a John hill video

Where can I find one
Imagine trying to get better with a regular board and you see this.... can y'all wait sheeeesh!!
Nice work John
That was a fire video john!
Switch ollie was 🔥
How much of a difference is it between it and a penny board?
sooooo different. this feels like a normal board, penny boards are essentially almost imposslbe to ollie even haha
bro my foot covers the entire board. I aint bombin hills on that. 💀
Homie really tried a wee man board
7.25 x 29.2 inch boards make a good modern freestyle board
I gotta ask … John did you feel like a giant on that board ??? Lol
Sick vid man I wanna try one now 😂
It’s fun to change up skating every now and then
That's a cool park. Where is this?
Good work
more videos like this
john do you know what hats are
What park / spot is this?
When i first saw the tj rogers video I was like "why the fuck are tj's pants so damn baggy" only to realize the mini was making it look that way 😂
when I was around 9 years old (now 27) I used a mini board for about a year because they were the cheapest option and couldn't get a full size one at the time. Honestly I enjoyed the f out of it lol.
Had no idea they were popular…I just sk8 what I like.
BRO THE BEST THING ABOUT THESE MINI SKATEBOARDS IS THE FACT THAT U CAN U GET THEM INSIDE UR BACKPACK AND GO TO SCHOOL, WORK, ETC LMAO
My first board was a mini board. I got it when I was six.
I've been seeing 27" mini boards online, nothing this small though.
Front tail big heel out for sure you have it
Should I get this for my 4 year old? She would probably love it 🙂
Ive literally never seen a mini board other than penny's , didnt know they exist.
i don't what you did but the audio was so crisp
You seem to have a good energy latelyMe too
Keep killin shit
bro popped out to the hood
im pretty sure that mini board was the same size that Rodney Mullen used in the old freestyle days lol also this would be perfect for getting kids into the sport.
Which park is this?
Do cruiser setup now
What’s this skatepark ? Looks amazing
I was about tp comment the ssme thing 😂
Sheldon
Where is this park?
Try downhill freeride. Tech slides are sick when street skaters get into it.
John skateboard good.
Good video
teach a kid with the mini vs regular
yess mini boards are tbh realy fun but not worth the money
You should have had someone small give this a try 😂😂
Only 100? Br you can get a budget complete for that price.
john
It’s for like those 5 year old skaters in japan
I thought it was an average sized board 😔
the pop of the board is what counts not the size of the deck
You’re already skating a handboard
8.0 boards are already too small for what I skate let alone a 6.o !
Sooo... what was the conclusion? Did I miss it?
you kilt it
I guess more people are starting to skate with tiny feet? lol
Average board size in 1995
It’s a shame that park has so much graffiti, I remember when it just opened it was beautiful
It's better with the graffiti.
It's supposed to be a popsicle penny board.. smh what has society come to!?
lmaoo it looks like a toy
Not to beat a dead horse, but unless your videos are posted way out of order I still haven’t seen a single pair of slip ons since the “why I only skate slip ons” video. What was the point
I think many boards are just dumbnot as comfortableare they standard board they are more little kids not adults 😂
popular?
Im so dizzy from ur videographer
fart
go metric dude
STOP.
