Fear Factor, Learning Basic Skateboard Lip Tricks On Steeper Ramps (Return to Concrete Waves)

[@usnavyvet2002]

He's great, like the English version of Steve Irwin but instead of crocs, beautiful skateboards. Whoo!

[@markpolitowicz5295]

Way to GO FOR IT Jon!!! Great advice on how to progress and love the analysis on technique! Thanks for making these vids!

[@keelo-byte]

went from my 2ft quarantine mini to a 3ft concrete mini. back foot slipped out while I was sitting on a bs pivot and knee went into the flat. That's conquered my fear of wearing pads at the park.

[@JonBishopSkate]

Yeah for sure, 1 ft at a time is a good strategy I recon! concrete is another step up in terms of fear for me !!

[@jacobito1343]

I give you props for taking those tricks to such bigger transition so fast

[@100jev]

Good vid ... yeah man it’s all about learning on something small then taking it to the next level. Back in the 80’s everything was big so it was really a leap of faith haha!🤣

[@JonBishopSkate]

Wicked, yeah everything around my area has been just a touch too steep and big to learn on? I built my mini ramp for progression and it’s really helped. Now the mission is to transfer the tricks I have across to the local spots, it’s quite long winded, but I think it’d be fair to say I would never have learned the F/S axle on that 5ft from scratch, I’m just not skilled or brave enough!!!

[@alexmc69]

These are the best instructional videos I've found on YT, I really feel like I am learning with you!

[@JonBishopSkate]

Thanks dude, we are all in it together for sure !!

[@StONEMASON23]

thank you Brother! NC USA in the house!!( 53,riding Black Label,Deathwish/Baker)

[@JonBishopSkate]

Great stuff !! Many thanks for tuning in !

[@asawolfe_]

Taking a few hits for the team love it Jon!

[@JonBishopSkate]

Ha, managed to get away with it !!

[@TheJoseph001]

Man, you explain things beautifully! I’m 30 years old and recently started skating again (I was 10 the last time I was on the board) and loving every second of it! Your videos are so helpful and this is getting me stoked to try a more exaggerated rock to fakie tomorrow as I’m only just getting the front trucks over the coping on the 5ft at the moment, thanks dude! 🤙🏼

[@JonBishopSkate]

Yeah dude!! That’s ace, yeah believe it or not it’s safer to go further, just puts a bit more mechanics into clearing the front wheels!! Go for it !

[@LucasGonze]

Great, man. Really useful to break it down like this.

[@JonBishopSkate]

Thanks for tuning in!

[@AlecStansfieldMusic]

Love your videos! Love your attitude! And I'm loving watching your progress! Keep it up!

[@JonBishopSkate]

Many thanks for tuning in Alex !!

[@shaundavies314]

Great video again. I do love how your videos are so developmental. ‘This is how I made it work’ rather than ‘I’m brilliant at this but I’ll try to remember what it was like to be crap in order to make a video’. Great point at the end about how different it is on a different transition. I’ve been hitting rock fakies on my 2ft at home, trying the 3ft and 4ft at the park yesterday was TOTALLY different.

[@JonBishopSkate]

Hey dude, Many thanks for tuning in and for the kind words. Yeah, I seem to find any new ramp takes some getting use to? It’s probably just a confidence thing. But on my local spots I have the certain tricks I know you can do, and anything else takes some time and work to adapt ?!! Might just be me, but great to hear I’m not alone 😂

[@shaundavies314]

Sadly it’s probably an age and sensibility thing. Rubber kids just throw themselves at it and it’ll work... I start thinking about the difference in physics and talk myself out of it 🤣😂🤣 I really need to cane my qtr more often and take it to the park regularly.

[@Vekkzz]

hey jon, i found your channel just now because i wanted to learn to fly out and yours was the first video to come up! I remember you teaching me to strawberry milkshake no comply at duck lane the other day and i just wanted to say that your videos are very in depth and every manuver is very well explained. Hope to see you at duck soon!!

[@JonBishopSkate]

Ha, yeah that was a fun session ! Good luck with the fly out, there are some good spots to try them at the duck, the roll in is good to fly out on as there is no coping to hang up on!!

[@psywarltd.1984]

Nice Anderson board mate!

[@peter_king]

Love this, keep going JB ✊🏼

[@JonBishopSkate]

Many thanks for tuning in dude !!

[@Aaron-ul1gr]

Great videos man, they are really helpful to me! I grew up skating street and boxes but I’ve always wanted to get good at bowls and ramps (especially as I get older). I watched your video on rock to fakie and I’m gonna give it a shot!

[@JonBishopSkate]

Great stuff!

[@nw10photography]

Loving your videos mate. Especially as you also show when it doesn't work as that's as important as when it does.

[@JonBishopSkate]

Cheers man, yeah, I feel the process of talking through my mistakes and trying to find a remedy really helps me during the process of learning? Everyone is different though, I regard myself as having a below average aptitude for learning skate moves so you get your moneys worth of cock ups lol !!

[@nw10photography]

Jon Bishop Am similar to you in that regard. Ever been to bay66 in London? Fancy going to one of their senior citizen skate evenings. Skate, beer and voltarol.

[@nicolaasrupprecht]

Really like the videos, can see the progression! Love how detailed you are.

[@JonBishopSkate]

Many thanks for tuning in !!

[@badsn]

@@JonBishopSkate lot's of progress man. Style is improving too. And perfect timing on that video - I just dialed in my axle stalls on the 4 footer and and wanted to take them to the big bowl tomorrow!

[@kolabboy]

Great video, Jon. Impressive progress, as always.

[@JonBishopSkate]

Nice one dude, I hope you are well!!

[@bonelessankles]

Fantastic progress, congratulations! Everything looked solid to me, especially those rock-to-fakies! Hope to reach the point you have reached myself some day.

[@JonBishopSkate]

Many thanks for tuning in dude !!

[@keithreynolds6359]

Looking good dude. Great progression. Inspiring stuff 🤙

[@JonBishopSkate]

Cheers dude, I might record a part two in a couple of weeks as I’m hooked on the adrenaline from the bigger ramp, it’ll help me focus on getting some more intermediate tricks on the steeper parts !!

[@robdapraia3486]

Gnarly, nice to see the progression, that fs axle stall really looked scary

[@JonBishopSkate]

Thanks dude! Yeah, went away with my head down and then came back 2 hours later as I couldn’t let it beat me !! It wasn’t hard, it felt good, but that first one is so scary to commit to!!

[@kudillo]

Cool vids bro!

[@georgemellors8724]

Another great video mate 🤙

[@JonBishopSkate]

Many thanks for tuning in dude !!

[@herberthill9984]

that was awesome as always 👏

[@JonBishopSkate]

Many thanks for tuning in dude !!

[@skateat4824]

Those first couple of slams in intro, geez. I take my share of slams on street, but never like that. Usually put slams at front of videos in my channel too LOL

[@JonBishopSkate]

Nice one dude, yeah the worst injury was a grazed knee on the street lol it got infected and puffed right up and took ages to heal. Luckily got all the pads on in the bowl !!

[@stace2953]

Great vid.. What wrist guards are you using... I'm wrecking the cheap pairs too easily....

[@mf8779]

Hey Jon..nice on the video and delivery/narrative...keep it up.. Are you wearing ankle supports?

[@JonBishopSkate]

Hey dude! I wear ankle protection from time to time, depending on what I’m up to. I wear the Vans half cab which provides a little bit of support also? The nitty gritty is in this video. The timings are pinned in the comments so you can go straight to the required segment! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZ6shKOjpb2gnNU

[@kawaiib2928]

I'll skate more nipples next time at the park :-) Dope videos, really instructive!

[@TheEckstarr]

Curious on your setup, obviously a PP Anderson, trucks look huge and those wheels look square AF

[@JonBishopSkate]

Hey dude, trucks are Indie 159, AA rides mini logo 159, wheels are OJ teamriders,

[@willsparis6157]

awesome!

[@bobbyrowe3344]

Hey dude I just started skating again after 22 years . ( I’m 45 ) love your videos !! been experimenting with different setups. What’s your exact setup in this vid? Anderson deck size ? Exact specs and brand of wheels and truck size and brand. Also bearings . Thx dude !!

[@JonBishopSkate]

Hey dude Many thanks for the kind words. I made a video talking through all of the setups. You may wish to skip to 10.50 which is the Anderson setup walkthrough. It’s sounds like it’s the bowl version you are after, Indy 159 hollow trucks, Bones big ball bearings, grizzly grip, bones medium bushings, OJ team rider 61mm wheels. I have since changed to 58mm Spitfire, OG Classics ! kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3y2poBqaKyUf5o

[@bobbyrowe3344]

@@JonBishopSkate thanks a ton !

[@timhills5695]

This is an excellent video, what size wheels and trucks on that deck?

[@JonBishopSkate]

Hey Tim I’ve got 159 trucks and 60mm wheels for bowl and 54mm for mini and street. I put together a little video on setups and the Anderson setup is at the end if you fancy a look? Many thanks for tuning in !!

[@stephenthedude4383]

Does that andy Anderson board feel good? I wanna get one but not sure if ill get use to it

[@JonBishopSkate]

Hey Dude, I really like it, it’s a big board, but I’m quite big also so it feels good. The concave is great, but is available in other Powell boards also, the biggest thing that may take some getting use to is the tail I guess, it’s big and square?? They do an 8.45 version, but I ride the 9.14 one AA does.

[@stephenthedude4383]

@@JonBishopSkate thanks! Might try the 8.45 👍👍👍

[@stevenbrown2522]

Who saw the D.o.f in the background AKA DANK OF ENGLAND tag!!!!

[@glenbrown345]

Hi, great vids, middle aged man learning too. Do you go early to the skate parks, all yours look empty. I ask because I am a bit self conscious because I'm not very good yet. Thanks.

[@JonBishopSkate]

Hi Glen, yes I go super early as I like to get in a rhythm when attempting new things, it’s also easier to get a clean audio track without others around. I also like not to broadcast others without their consent? Both the pool and 5 ft bowl sessions were started at 4.45am lol

[@justindavisphotography]

Jon Bishop impressive commitment Jon and it shows in your progress. I really appreciate the quality of video you are putting out. You do a great job of explaining and showing.

[@glenbrown345]

Thanks Jon, really appreciate your reply

[@SubieShiz]

When a 50-50 is actually just a feeble stall :/
