I rode hamilton park with boff sharpy hicksey alex tom ian herm in the 90's and early 2000's, they made me a better rider and were utterly awesome riders, became friends. Hope you read this lads and it was special riding with you lads, my name is luke from bridgwater.
Hi from Canada! Thank for the vid and cant wait to build a vert ramp!
that ramps a monster! no ladder.... damn!
The enthusiasm absolutely makes theses vids
Cheers dude, I really like skateboarding so I try to tone it down believe it or not 😂
Super vid as always
Nice wide mini! Looks super fun
Love those guitar grooves mate, reminds me of 80s Hawaii/pipeline surf vhs.
I enjoy thease videos an i respect everything your doing with the Sk8n
Many thanks for tuning in dude !
I can hear a wife yelling in the background..WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY TOWELS !!!! lol mine would...
Ha, yeah, learned my lesson there. I’ve got a special one all signed off and above board 😂
You're like a semi-pro skater niw! Love the channel love the stoke. Keep charing
Many thanks for the kind words dude!
Looks like a fun warm up on the Vert ramp, with no stairs or ladder.
Was waiting for a boardslide on the miniramp..lol. wish i had that ramp close to me..no ramps anywhere or small bowls either..
Those ramps are dope. I don't have close access to anything like that; so jealous. I really cannot get over how well you continue to progress with your skills and comfort on the board. I've said it before and will say it again, you give me hope. If I can be where you are at before my 50's I'll be super happy.
Great stuff !!
Man I am so jealous the only ramps within a 2 hour drive are all mini. I’d love for there to be a nice bowl or half pipe close by.
Awesome looking ramps 🙏
Great Video.
This was a great skatepark tour, I appreciate the level of detail and effort put into this video.
Thank you Jon.
Your latest offering was ace, you nailed the blend of reflective appraisal and skate challenges.
Good job with that big half pipe!!! I am 48 I tried a smaller one. I almost broke my back . But still love skateboarding. Keep it up!! Your amazing 👏.
Good video Jon
Hope you are well dude !
That mini looks so good! Man I’m jelly of how many skatelite ramps you guys have over there it’s mostly concrete in Aus
Good video dude
Many thanks for tuning in!!
"We have room for 2 skateboarding obstacles in the space by the kids' playground and the depressing basketball hoop. Let's do one mini ramp and... um... one full-sized suicidal f***ing vert ramp."
Ha, yeah I did wonder how they got it pass the powers that be, but I’m glad they did, it’s ace !
Ya got some sweet ramps in the UK.
Most of our parks are concrete with rails and ledges street stuff with the odd decent bowl here and there.
I guess there's more money in the kitty for all these great ramps in the UK.
Had a thought, why don't you watch Chad Carusos 50 grinds and slides and see if you can learn some new grind variations on a mini.
I love doing long 50/50s
5 0 s are fun too only took me a day to get these dialed in roughly.
See what you can do maybe a long ally oop 50/50.
What are you working on currently.
Mine is backside disasters, cleaner and faster in one motion rather than stopping, adjusting and then coming back in . Mine look messy currently.
Great content as usual.
Brendan from NZ
The biggest we have locally is the big pool at Campbell/St Pete Skatepark in St Petersburg, Florida. USA. Way too big for me. They keep a ladder on had to help folks get out 😬
Ha, sounds mental!!
Brendan here again check out Thompson park bowl jam 2021 full compition I'm skating in this at 134:45 in the masters, got second in this my boys skated in it too in the under 16s. Was a sweet day walked away with $500 and some merch.
This particular bowl is 13 years old in Christchurch NZ .
It's hard to skate as it's vertical at the six foot end almost.
Just thought you'd like to see what others get up to who watch your channel and stay motivated with all your malarkey.
Keep shreding fella!
Many thanks for the share dude!
@@JonBishopSkate no problem see what you think. Love the channel
Was this Taunton MA? Sure is a nice skatepark
My street bmx ass could never sesh that vert ramp 😂
Another great skatepark review! Mentioning the how to get there, access to the park and onto the ramps is ideal. Where you going next?
Would be great to have a UK map picture within the video with colour pin in where’ve you been and the park you’re currently doing the review on :)
Many thanks for the input dude! Great stuff
Not sure on the next one?? Could be Caterham?
@@JonBishopSkate Good shout. Folkestone51 caught your eye?
@@Alexalexdave that’d be an amazing video, but the commute is enough to bring me out in a rash 😂 it’s a 6 hour dive 😟
@@JonBishopSkate Ha! Not to mention by the time you get back petrol price will have gone up another 4p
That mini looks beautiful, nice graffiti aswell
It’s a cracker!
Great vid! by any chance are there any skaters from around the Nailsea area (North Somerset) or further afield that would be up for a skate, as I'm not sure if I'm the only person in Nailsea that skates over 40 but it certainly feels like it. I'm pretty much a newbie to mini ramp (started last Summer) and it would be pretty cool to meet up with some skaters and hit some ramps? cheers
Cheers Jon! you don't happen to know of any forums which are good for getting skaters together in local(ish) areas?
What is the name of the skatepark that has a spine in the beginning of the video?
The one that nearly chopped me in half is called Bourne Valley. It’s fricken ace if you like that sort of thing 😂
@@JonBishopSkate 🤣 yeah that one.
@@JonBishopSkate I'm using it as inspiration.
Are there ever any big vert sessions there?
Get Dave Allen and Todd Twist there!
I’ve seen videos of dudes ripping on it. Every time I’ve been though it’s just me on my own, tucked away in the corner 😂
@@JonBishopSkate Sean Goff AKA "Todd Twist"
@@joeskull hell yeah, how rad would that be !!
when drying two large ramps isnt enough warm up...hahaha and the poms make fun of us prison colony aussies!
😂 lots of warming up opportunities in this one
