So glad I started watching you again. Your ability to process and articulate your emotions is next level and I love the life insights you give. You are a wise man.
As an almost 43 year-old near-beginner, I wish it were as easy for me to have such an attitude. It kinda sucks when you see someone you look up to quit a certain activity that you yourself are just trying to get into, especially when the barrier of entry is so damn high. Glad to see that you're giving skating another shot. And congrats on the baby. 🙂
This raw style is dope... Love to hear you talk, love to watch you skate... When 99% of the video is you doing both at the same time it's enjoyable. ( The parkour progression stuff is cool too )
I've loving these long form videos. Keep this up. 1 year of vlogging as much as you can. Let's go! Maybe capture some of your kid's early life. As an adult, I would have loved to see what my parents did when I was a kid. Let's go!
Same man, ironically just started getting the innocent love I have for skateboarding back, the love you have for it when you just started pushing around town and kinda popping ur tail. It was nice to see you, a pro I've followed for years, also getting that spark back, keep the vids up John, sad to see you move out of DFW but hope life is amazing bro🤝
I like these vlogs mixed with skating and everything else you do. Don't be so hard on yourself. I know LA is really competitive but just enjoy yourself man. These could be the best times in your life and you wouldnt even know.
This video had heavy commentary to it….I love it! I appreciate the way you let the audience “get to know you” through your videos. That’s something I want to begin doing in my videos as well…..just need to find out the best way? 🤷🏻♂️ haven’t finished the video yet, but it’s great so far! 17:56
yo john, amazing video as always. Maybe for the crook nollie flip and the nollie crook nollie flip you can watch joseph garbaccio's technique. he's almost flicking down when doing it. he's so good that he pulls this trick in every cintest in his runs.
Yo! I dig this format man, it kinda reminds me of when i started watching you way back when you were in Cali the first time. I also did TKD throughout my teenage years, definitely fond memories for me!
With a kid on the way, prepare yourself for a lot of those moments! Life becomes a massive cliche in all the absolutely best ways. Congrats John ridiculously stoked to be able to follow your adventure
34:39 you where born to experience that moment! The feeling of being lucky to be alive! We take it for granted. Here’s to many more or those moments. 🎉
Your kingpin dug into the flat bar off that feeble and you powered thru it. So dope homie 💪🏽 oh wow you were talking about the kingpin diggin in as I was leaving my comment. Hilarious 🤣
It took me a while to get to this one because the shorter videos suit my life better. Funny enough though, I know exactly what you were saying with kickflip crooks "feeling cringe". How you were saying too far on the ledge or too far off makes them feel awful... I've actually found switch flip switch crooks easier because there's something about landing "fakie" in a switch crooked stance that feels waaaay more comfortable. I've find when I switch flip I'm able to shift my body weight forward more to the nose much easier and that makes switch flip switch nose manuals/crooks way easier. I've actually never kickflip crooked normally because it feels so awkward for me but I have done them switch. xD
I hear you man.. I am always happiest at work.. losing my self and being able to escape my own head is only accomplished by me diving into my creative processes.. I’m 50.. I use all my “free” time skateboarding.. people tell me I have to find other things and I felt bad about it for a long time .. I am finally realizing this is what i do and people can just deal with it cause I’m fine..
i tweaked my knee and havent skated sice ( by that i mean done a trick. ive used it as transport like twice) but i think i was losing the drive to 1• learn and 2• push myself. maybe i was a bit disenchanted w skating for a minute and when i tweaked my knee it pushed me even further away. but insta gave me a random clip, then at work i got the feeling.. yanno like u look down at ur feet and u u imagine a trick, then you drop this.. and you make it look so fun, rudimentary, and vibey. Thankyou for making your videos. You really impact peoples lives. atleast me. I've missed you btw, im subscribed but youtube hasnt been sensing you my way as much.
needs a comma -Grammer Not Zee' sorry I'll stop now. I don't know what wrong with me. Yeah I like this guy too but I think I should be doing something else if you know what I mean.
And thus the ‘John hates skateboarding arc’ ends. Just in time for 2024! Stay tuned for the next episode where John is considering something that will impact his family’s future in major ways!
I agree you should work if you want and if you choose to not than don’t there is no right or wrong choice only happiness, and to each of us that’s very different!
It looks like the “plastic lumber” type composite material. It’s used for Patio/Decks, and I’ve also seen that material on outside chairs, etc. if you walk into Home Depot and wander around a bit I think you’d find it! (Also I could be wrong, that’s just what it looks like to me)
25yo female whose Been skating for 5 months now but month 2,3, and 4, ive been recovering from a severe high ankle sprain. One week in to injury, i was debating quitting and your videos helped me gain the motivation to push through pt and keep skating❤ thank you john... i will be buying that childrens book 📖... ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!
Idk if you know or not but at around 38:40 you said your daughter's name (i think i remember you guys were trying to keep it a secret in the reveal vid)
Loving these man! I know you know this and it is of course a massive challenge but it would be really valuable for you if you could cut out some of the negative self talk. You'd never say that stuff to another skater trying their best and you don't deserve that either
I am absolutely LOVING the longer type of videos.
Fr
Really enjoying the Sam Sulek format, a little car talk, food talk, skating and talking. too good!
Sam rips!
fr!
honestly love just watching you and your brother kick it
This video & last video last are your best formats. Keep these going.
Congrats John
So glad I started watching you again. Your ability to process and articulate your emotions is next level and I love the life insights you give. You are a wise man.
Skating is always fun, you just gotta have the right mindset
Technically when you get hurt you aren't skating you're falling so yeah skating is always fun : P
Well put! I experience this too. If my mindset is off it’s not the skating it’s me.
Ñice
i strongly agreed, can definitely shape ur skating potential lol

I usually can't watch long videos but for some reason I can with your commentary and skating.
yess i'm so glad you're doing more of the longer form videos

No idea John Hill is a Black Belt koo-rah-tay, no wonder he has those ninja kickflips.
Maybe sand bags to stabilize the rail/ box?
It was always fun
i tweaked my knee and havent skated sice ( by that i mean done a trick. ive used it as transport like twice) but i think i was losing the drive to 1• learn and 2• push myself. maybe i was a bit disenchanted w skating for a minute and when i tweaked my knee it pushed me even further away. but insta gave me a random clip, then at work i got the feeling.. yanno like u look down at ur feet and u u imagine a trick, then you drop this.. and you make it look so fun, rudimentary, and vibey.

The lady in the background watching you was probably more sketched out from you lol seems that way 😂
I know you don’t think I know you. But I’ve been watching you for 5 years.
I love you John Hill. You’re dope.
needs a comma
-Grammer Not Zee'
sorry I'll stop now. I don't know what wrong with me. Yeah I like this guy too but I think I should be doing something else if you know what I mean.
6:55 is it called yips?
And thus the ‘John hates skateboarding arc’ ends. Just in time for 2024! Stay tuned for the next episode where John is considering something that will impact his family’s future in major ways!

I agree you should work if you want and if you choose to not than don’t there is no right or wrong choice only happiness, and to each of us that’s very different!
I clapped irl when you landed the krook nollie flip xD

Try a 12ft switch drop in THEN tell me how fun this all is💀
Make time for your Daughter though. Workaholic Regrets...
John whats the material of the surface of that grind box of yours?
It looks like the “plastic lumber” type composite material. It’s used for Patio/Decks, and I’ve also seen that material on outside chairs, etc.
if you walk into Home Depot and wander around a bit I think you’d find it! (Also I could be wrong, that’s just what it looks like to me)
Didn't he say like a week ago he was taking a break from skating? Shortest break in UA-camr history lmao
Glad to have more content tho
