ollie into pogo is insane
All I could think of was "rip balls"
I am sure that many credit cards happened while learning how to do this
His son was doing great too. Among many tricks it looked like he did a 720 pop shove-it.
@@a.r.4822 Good job he already has kids then lol
That's my go to trick as well -- been doing it for 36 years off and on, and never credit carded myself (yet)
the fact that the dad looks so young makes it seem like they are best friends, but they are really father and son and i think thats so beautiful
Rarity!!! Many don’t have good relationships with their parents
Му parents могопс
HUGE props for putting yourself out there and not just Learning Japanese, but learning it well enough that you can conduct a basic interview with these two greats in their home language. Language learning is tough, and Japanese is quite difficult.
I agree, I was impressed. It's super respectful too. If you're going to go to another country I feel like you should at least try to learn a little of the language. Jonny did a great job. I'm currently learning Japanese on my own and I really appreciated the hiragana subtitles when they were doing the interview.
Actually literally every other language besides English is pretty easy. The only thing I heard about Japanese is the writing system but then it becomes a cheat code because kanji are kind of like emoji, they carry meaning instead of pronunciation
@@kylespevak6781 that may be true for writing/reading, but makes it harder to speak IMO
English is actually one of the easier languages to learn like Spanish. With the most difficult languages being sino Asian ones Slavic ones.@@kylespevak6781
Hardest languages are Korean, ukranian, Russian , Chinese especially if English is your first language.
@TheSkaterFriend you don't even have to be able to read Kanji to be able to learn or speak it
I’m also a 51 year old freestyler, and though I’m nowhere near as good as Masahiro, this video was SO inspiring! Never give up!
Honestly this is the most lovely video Ive seen of yours (and I watch most) - the connection you have with the people you're visiting and your understated desire to connect with them on their own ground by learning the langauge is a real testament to who you are as a person, let alone a skateboarder. Really loved this story dude x
100%
This was phenomenal, this is why I love this channel. So positive and no ego or agenda. Thank you. I've never seen anything like it. Brilliant.
Every skater dads dream, to skate with their children
100000%
I am living that dream.
I went without my 19yo son today though.
I also ate shit and am suffering right now.
Falling hurts so much worse at 41
@@herrerajoey2 I been trying to get my 7 year old daughter to pick up a skateboard, but she’s gotta have more of her polish mother in her because she has zero balance, lmfao. We keep working at it tho!
@@citystars1117 I had trouble getting my daughter to enjoy skating because she was so light. I got her a shorter 7.75 Santa Cruz deck, loosened truck, but turning was so difficult her her. She ended up putting down the board for a while. Lately I've been using my deck any moment I can. On our way from the school bus stop today I asked if she wanted to get on and I would help guide her. She got on, I held her hand, and a bright smile brightened her face. Just a casual stroll. It was very clear we both lit up the street because every passing driver had the biggest smiles on their faces as well. She asked me to set up her deck 🛹🤟
@@herrerajoey2 yeah it sure does. But don't forget, it sucked when you were a kid too. Never grow up. I'm 49 and still healing fine
This is some incredible footage Jonny. You should be proud of this video
Japanese being so natural in their approach to skateboarding is amazing to see. It warms my soul when they all join in for a session for fun.
Now Need to do a Duo with him and Rodney Together.
Also that kid reaction at 1:11 it's priceless🤣
Been steadily waiting for that one
skateboarding is so beautiful in slow mo! the proprioception of good skaters is perfection, poetry in motion. street art.
Proprioception? I think this is the first time I've ever seen or heard anyone outside of a classroom use this word. 😆 I predict some google searches coming.
Just looked it up and now I also understand kinesthesia better😂
How have i just found this channel. This was so incredible and the vibes were so positive i damn near teared up 😊 i hope Rodney sees this!
This is actually better than anything on Netflix today. Incredible content, incredible vibe!
It's good for UA-cam. Wouldn't cut it on netflix or any real production.
This was a really special video.
And GREAT editing.
Thank you 🙏🏽
You do not give yourself enough props man. I know some of these kids do crazy stuff, but you have to sit back sometimes and realize you have done stuff they might never do. Age happens. It happens to you everyone, but knowledge is infinite. Please never forget that. You are, and legitimately will always be a legend to many people. I know you will never stop doing crazy stuff, and that is inspirational to so many people. Thank you for all you do.
Bro I'm not in the skateboarding scene anymore but I'm seeing the board be used in new and inventive ways in this video in terms of freestyle that makes me so, so excited that the skill ceiling for a piece of wood with 4 wheels is literally non-existent. Thank you for this Jonny.
すごない？
フリースタイルのシーン追っかけてるわけじゃないけど、シンプルにレベルの高さにびっくりした。
そんなことよりすっげー良いフィルムだ。
I’ve been skateboarding for 40 years and my son for 20 years. One of the best gifts to receive in this world, a father and son skating together! Blessings to you all! ❤
This is the best video you have done on your channel so far in my humble opinion. Incredible skating throughout and the people featured were all incredible too.
What a wholesome father and son relationship. Many of us barely know/knew our dads, myself included. Japan is also always +1 in my book.
This kind of skating has always been my favourite. While the flipidipedy 360's that they do at the Berrics are super tough and require a lot of work and talent to pull off, these odd ball tricks are so much more fun for me. Seeing a trick and going "wait........ what???" is what I love in skate videos. These guys, Rodney Mullen, Alexander Rademaker, Richie Jackson is what I love to see. Thanks for sharing what these guys do.
Their vibes are just so warming, japanese freestyle is on another level and its amazing to watch
Ive never replayed so many parts over and over in a youtube video. Even with the slow mo it was hard at first to see the complexity of those tricks. I really like all of their individual styles, they seem like super cool and good folks. Great vid!
and this is why I continue skating. thanks for sharing this!
Living the dream.
Beautiful video Jonny. The caliber of skating in this video is beyond phenomenal
Great vid, I love the creativity these japanese skaters bring, many years ago I got into Gou Miyagi and he had me looking at skating in a whole new way!
The production values and editing on the channel have only gotten better over time, Jonny!
Thanks for all you do, love ya, man!❤
Japan is absolutely a bucket list place to visit for me. And let me tell ya, it's _preeeeetty_ high up on that list! Everything from the people, food, cities, wildlife, and the way of life in general over there is so intriguing and downright serene.
I grew up as a city boy, but I think have this desire to be a mixture of the country & city mouse. There's advantages to enjoying the city lifestyle, but nothing will ever beat the magnificence of mother nature. Japan, like a handful of other countries in this world, does a spectacular job of maintaining a great balance between them both.
Go, it's incredibly accessible. Hotels and food at local spots is super affordable. Stay in Yokohama tho, way more affordable and chill than tokyo and like 15 to 20 minutes on the train to anywhere in Tokyo. Airfare is the worst part, but obsess about checking travel sites and you'll find a deal.
@@delbomb3131 You seem fairly knowledgeable, is there any advice you could give about overcoming the language barrier? Did you have someone to translate?
@@PoeticallyTwizted it's not an issue mostly. All signage and labels and ordering machines are in English or have English options.
Japanesepod101 has some good survival stuff, but really just on a vacation there all you'll need is sumimasen lol, over and over again sumimasen.
The best advice i can give anyone is to not over plan and not over think. Anywhere you stay is gonna be nice so pick a place in that 30 to 40 a night range. Any place you eat is going to be tasty, so don't worry about specific restaurants. Just search a food you wanna eat like ramen or gyudon and find one in your budget and go enjoy. Just don't stress about things
Nicht nur das Video an sich ist nice, sondern auch wie gut hier gefilmt, geschitten und bearbeitet wurde. Hat zwar 'n anderer Kommentar schon gesagt, aber du kannst echt stolz auf den Upload hier sein, Jonny.
LG ausm Allgäu
I'm here for the Masahiro vs. Mullen freestyle video 😎 But your dedication to learning the language is impressive. Once again, you killed it 🙌
i absolutely love these types of videos from you Jonny. the Japanese are such wonderful people. and freestyle skating is and always has been my favorite kind of skating. amazing video man
Jonny thank you for your videos. I'm grateful to be aware of these incredible skateboarders you often showcase. 🙏
This is a fantastic video . I couldn't contain my grin . I love Japan !! . Great camerawork . Subscribed !!
The amount of times I've rewound this video is nuts. These guys are bonkers
I’m sure like others but you’re bringing and showing other boarders. Everyone is so chill. You’re bringing people together!
Beautiful Country, great video, absoultely legendary skaters 😭🔥 Awesome guys !
The joy in that young man is what everyone in the world deserves to have 💪💪💪❤️❤️❤️
Visually astounding but it's also the sounds of the sliding and wheel clicks that gets me 💯🙏🏼
What a beautiful experience. Thanks for sharing, Jonny.
Notice how his head never moves from centered and looking down at his board. Sounds easy, but he’s mastered it
Jonny these videos are incredible, from the skating to editing . Everything incredible. Beautiful . Thank you.
Such joyful, passionate, and wholesome people. They look like such a blast to be around.
this channel is the best in quality of shoots! the angle, the slowmo, the stabilized shoots.
it is beautiful filming, high skill flatground, and great editing. gj to all in the team and the skaters. Art with Less Disturbance.
Ths is amzing. I have never seen one of your videos before and I hope whatever ailments you’re feeling keep getting much more healed! Cause you are lookin smooth as heck here.
But….of course you know I’m gonna say, these father and son are carving up the streets like a jackhammer team.
Amazing how inventive masahiro is and also tho he sneaks in a couple like straight up 80s Tony hawk spins and flat ground stuff …if you catch it!
This is just amazing! At least I can play music pretty well, which, gave me excuse to not skateboard as much because I either did both . . .and broke bones, then could do neither (really it was rollerblading doing a 540 off a plastic ramp and broke my elbow bad…😮) ! Or, play music professionally and let the naturals at skating do their thing and go cheer you all on. Not that drumming 6 hrs a day can’t give you carpal tunnel or arthritis if you don’t also do stretches , learn proper technique, and respect your body and your instrument…..
And your elders and mentors!!! 😁
Cheers from Philadelphia, USA! (Home of what used to be Love Park where that “L-O-V-E” statue you filmed is originally from and th park was in Tony hawk pro skater 2!!
I was 10 when I went to my first riot and protest and it was for them trying to demolish the park!…..they eventually did.
Okay. History lesson, over.
たくさんの愛：ジョーダン
This was incredible to see. It’s awesome to see that you guys are keeping the freestyle scene alive!!! My son and I want to go to Japan so bad.
The precision they both land with is mind blowing. Mad props.
That was some amazing skating! Great video!
So much joy in such a short video. Wonderful.
I came across this video by chance, amazing content. I can't wait to see more.
This video deserve way more likes, OMG!
the videography, music, editing, storytelling, you sir were born to be a creator
Love how cool, laid back and warm/welcoming they both are. Great vibes here!
Possibly the best friendship a young man could have with his father ! And man, can these guys skate……. Respect ✊🏾
Your videos are put together so well... this is one of the best.
I love that dolphin to pogo stand too! First time I've seen that actually landed
Very impressive, lovely it's father and son. Good video production too!
This makes me want to learn tons more freestyle skate tricks. Just hit my first FS nollie bigspin yesterday 😁 working up to nollie gazelle, one day I will land it lol
It has Been a while since i have last watched your videos. I blame the algorythm. But wow this was such a good time! Thank you💚
Amazing level of respect, education and how humble they are! 🫶🏻 great video man
Huge props to father and son. Both insanely skilled.
Watching freestyle skateboarding is so beautiful
The skating in this video was beyond mind blowing amazing 👏
Next level stuff, thank you for sharing, brings inspiration indeed
Johhny speaking Japanese to break the launguage barrier was awesome, 👍👍👍 i didn't expect that!!! Seems like a very hard launguage to pick up on!!!
Dad and son skating togather. Can't get anymore epic than that.
Amazing! I love the Japanese culture. They are so humble and gracious. They both have incredible talent.
Come for the good vibes, stay for the joy, inclusivity, insane skills, respect, humbleness… and smooth video production skills. 10/10 Jonny. Thank you for inspiring skaters and non-skaters alike 🙏
Is that an airwalk that Yuta is doing? The slow motion shots of it are so gorgeous, he makes it look so crazy!
I love to see one of my fav freestyle skaters (and a big inspiration of mine) get a bit more mainstream recognition. Masahiro is a beast.
Thank you for sharing this gem of a video and your Japan trip.
Very entertaining and mad skills on skates 🍹🍀♥️
really appreciate your content, nice to see other amazing skaters from other country's
This video highlights how wholesome skating is -- just hanging out with some friends and doing tricks. As a 51 year old myself, I have some find memories of skating in the 80s. May be time to pick up a freestyle board. Cheers. ;)
It took 40+ years for skateboarding to catch up to Rodney Mullen. He was doing these tricks in the 80's and 90's. He was crazy ahead of his time. Did he ever lose a freestyle comp?
He got 2nd place in one pro contest. I think Per Welinder got 1st in that one. We’re talking like 10 comps a year for 10 years! Crazy.
And he lost on purpose I believe to irk his dad.
@@businesspartners619 Nah, in his autobiography he said after he lost he thought, “Are my parents going to think I’m a failure now?” “The sense of loss I felt was because I had failed to do what I set out to do” And “A few seconds after the results were announced, the thought of ending my career with failure sank in” That was supposed to be his second to last comp but then he started competing again after a break.
@@brandonmason388 thanks and very interesting, I could have sworn he said in an interview he meant to lose or something like that, I'm going to try to find it. But doing some research, he got 2nd place because he was sick so it might be that he shouldn't entered or expected not to be perfect. My memory is old so If you heard the interview, I definitely need to refresh my memory.
Cant imagine how cool it would be to have been raised by a skate legend passing on knowledge and coaching all yer life. Thats amazing
So impressive! ...and yeah, my knees are still broken regardless how techy Masahiro gets haha!
Such a fun watch, thank you.
the handstand flip outs where absolutely nuts - im no where near doing something like that, but damn if that's not goals
Some amazing tricks went down for sure super awesome and man I hope you start feeling feeling better, you’re a legend with some mad steez 🙌🏼🙌🏼
HE IS AMAZING 4 SURE. YOU ARE STILL MY FAVORITE SKATER JOHNNY. I AM GLAD YOU HAD A CHANCE TO SKATE WITH SUCH A PROLIFIC SKATER.
This video made my already great day even better! Thx a lot Jonny for the always amazing content!
It's been awhile to see your videos show up back into my algorithm but man the music choice is great (also the skateboarding is great as well).
The fact that you're learning kanji and Japanese conversation is impressive, Jonny. Keep it up!
I'm 37 and thinking I need to ease up my skating but this just inspires me to get back into it like I used to
Hammer Video Jonny! So ne geniali vibe wo Du übere bringsch! 👊🏻
That was epic. Insane riding & those Japanese people just look like lovely people . Insane skills!! Love watching freestyle skate!!
Incredible skating from Masahiro (and Jonny); love the creativity.
Can we start a petition to get @RodneyMullen on the Jonny Giger show? Invite Masahiro too
The most incredible thing for me is how low he gets. His centre of gravity is almost below the board, his body position is insanely compact especially when he lands tricks. Something we all should learn from this guy i think.
The fact that Jonny attempted to learn the Japanese language says a lot. What a respectful dude.
Kicked out of the skate park for filming tricks. Well, that sounds so ironic. At least, insane footage you got there. Father and the son had really some magical skills.
Japan has a law regarding recording video of people in public where it's one thing to have the people in the shot that have agreed to it, but if you have others in it that you don't have permission from you can be fined for it if it shows their face in it. Since he's a foreigner, they just had him leave.
That's amazing ! seeing father and son skate
What a cute family. Respect and best wishes for the future. Nice job jonny, really good work
They're all correct. Your film work has improved leaps and bounds. I'd show this to anyone. Well done.
This was rad to see! They both are kill'n it! I'm 50 and still skate regularly. Def helps keep us young and healthy! From mind to body.
I love his creativity ... This kind of freestyle-ish skateboarding is like BMW Flatland ... More dancing than just skateing... Great
Too many tricks made me shake my head in disbelief. Also Johnny is so wholesome. Love it
damn! absolute legends! great video, content and skaters!
great material 😊
He is so graceful. Unreal.
I love the girls reaction when she makes her trick. Guessing it was the first time she landed that and her joy is genuine
As someone who grew up without a dad, watching father and son skate like this is too cool.
Awesome learning Japanese and trying to interview. It's a lot harder to speak in practice than when studying, but Japanese people are always cool and will help
