Getting Over Larger Spines - Full Process

In this video I take on my biggest spine ramp to date. My main goal was to get over the top and ride away and I tested out three different methods. The rock over, the blunt over and the Axle over.

With you Jon, inspirational as always. Happy birthday young-un. I'm relearning rock-fakies at 61.

[@JonBishopSkate]

[@namesurname8423]

[@JonBishopSkate]

Many thanks for tuning in!

[@KOL630]

I love that special bar joke! 😅👍🏻

[@aldeuchar780]

Happy 50th. Nice way to celebrate it..staying radical!

[@rickbrummer3628]

congratulations for conquering the spine, and happy birthday !

[@JonnyDIY]

Great job Jon, Bravo! 💕👏👍 It makes you wonder how they did the rock spine transfers back in the day with no kick noses and not clip their back wheels? 🤔 PS- I remember eating it so hard on local concrete spine blunt transfering. My wheels got stuck in middle of very large oversized coping of the two sides 🤣 felt that one for a long while after

[@marcelboogaard3809]

A bit late to the party but welcome to the club. It’s all downhill from here 😂. Impressive as ever👊🏻

[@bigdaddy1115]

rockin the ramp john,thats what you been doin m8

[@darude]

Happy 50th mate! Easy peasy Maestro! Next time fakie over to rock fakie, fakie bs axle to fs axle in, half cab to switch rock and nollie 180 to rock fakie. And regular to fs axle to bs axle in and the other way around. YOU CAN DO IT! 🙌🏻

[@JonBishopSkate]

Great stuff, thanks for the input dude, I think I’ve tried most of those on the smaller spines, I think I’d need a fair few sessions to want to come back in Fakie or front side on this one 😂

[@darude]

@@JonBishopSkate I know my man, but you got this! I actually am WAY more comfortable doing fakie to rock fakie than regular to switch rock over a spine. 🤷🏻‍♂

[@davidtrindade1858]

Outstanding skate good sir. The size of that spine and you’ve just got it down! Great birthday present from skateboarding to you. Happy 50. 🤘🏼

[@ltrain022]

Awesome job! I am finding that going faster, squatting and bending the knees more is helping me with learning new tricks as well. Happy Birthday, and keep up the great work!

[@bonadio60]

Well done! Inspiring !!!

[@danielsenovillahernandez9302]

Hats off Jon. What a comittment ! Fakie front stall first try, that's not joke. Impressed

[@JonBishopSkate]

Thanks dude, pure luck, next one I went flying 😂

[@markdavey4727]

[@bambamsounds]

very inspiring Jon.

[@rogersjunner9395]

Happy birthday! Thanks for a great vid and great inspiration!

[@mvarnzo5709]

Great job man.Happy Birthday!

[@Skate_48]

Happy birthday mate! The BIG 5 0 ! Let the battle begin .... FIGHT! What a great battle you'd be stoked with that run at 50. Hats off to you to give it what's for. You've got a great nack for learning and understanding what needs to be done in order to land tricks which is great for those watching. That spine is no joke, the biggest I've seen apart from one Steve Caballero road back in the day. Well done yet again. Did you have three cameras set up that day it was great with all the angles. Your productions have really come along way. Keep safe shredding and go hard !🔥🔥💯💯🛹🛹.

[@JonBishopSkate]

Many thanks for tuning in dude, yeah, I use the GoPro for the closer stuff, and the iPhone for the wide angle. At the end, I just changed the position of both to get a few different angles of the makes. The body of the video is recorded with the two cameras in one position. I’ve got a radio mic 🎤 that plugs into the iPhone Which helps to cut out a lot of the ambience and background noise, especially when I’m inside?

[@LawrenceNavarro-xh3bv]

Happy Birthday! As always, very impressed with what you do, your always pushing the envelope! Love every video. Keep up the amazing skating!

[@JonBishopSkate]

Many thanks for the feedback dude !!

[@friscotecsk8s119]

This is so mental that I had to stop at 2:55. Will be back to resume the watch later. Jon Bishop- you're an animal. Spines = ☠

[@Oldguysgoskating]

Next on my list, after watching this I’m definitely giving it a go tomorrow at adrenaline alley, Great video man 🤙🏻🤙🏻

Great vid John, And Happy Birthday!

[@JonBishopSkate]

[@BagelDaze]

[@JonBishopSkate]

Yeah, as usual the footage doesn’t capture how big and scary it feels 😢

[@molotovbatradio]

WTH man!! This is down the road from me, would have been great to see you there 🔥

[@bdtransport321]

Rad Jon . Happy 50 🎯

[@sneekinaboutom9450]

Happy Birthday Mate!!

[@DragonSpiritworldwide]

Happy birthday, Jon , nice blunt man.

[@Brusselsproutsk8]

That spine is no joke, probably the biggest in the UK at about 6ft, steep transition too.

[@Adrian-rn1ym]

Happy birthday brother ! Keep on rippin

[@JonBishopSkate]

Thanks dude !!

[@brianmccracken7000]

Dude that was sick! I loved all three transfers! I'm super impressed at 51YO you can skate that huge spine! You are willing to take the risks and reap the rewards even though you were dealing with other pains. What back pain are you having? I'm asking because I'm 47YO and deal with lower back (sciatica) pain on a regular basis.

[@JonBishopSkate]

Thanks for tuning in, lower back is better now !!

[@simongord]

Happy Birthday JB 🥳

[@havingfunhero]

[@cameraop8210]

[@cameraop8210]

[@joeskull]

Solid transfers bro!🤘🏽

[@DelilahT10]

Nice work as always Jon and Happy 50th🎉. Where was this?

[@JonBishopSkate]

Thanks dude, this is rampworld in Cardiff

[@Skate_48]

You may need to learn the backside 5 0 for your birthday on a mini. Thats a challenge for you if your up for it.😁 I've done a few but it takes a bit to learn that one . The trick is the pinch on the heal side and not over rotating the shoulders till your really to come in. Chad has a good tutorial on them. I think I'll Start learning them again too. You up for it?

[@JonBishopSkate]

Ha ha, yes the 5-0 😂 good idea

[@leifbennett1354]

You're in the half century skate club now We should welcome any survivors. Tony Hawk is a few years older. Skate club is tough.

[@natooo8312]

Epic stuff! Any tips on getting into the blunt over?

[@JonBishopSkate]

Hey dude Yeah I find I have to commit over the top which is the hardest thing. Not lean back, but pump up and tuck the knees up, the rest is just a drop in?

[@tim.jenkins75]

this video doesn't show how hard that spine is !!!! its a monster !!!!

[@JonBishopSkate]

Many thanks for the comment, yeah, the footage always seems to look a bit underwhelming 😢 Especially the GoPro, it flattens everything out somewhat !

[@TakeItToTheGround]

50 - Literally a "middle age guy" on the way to a 100.

[@JonBishopSkate]

Ha! 100 tricks at a 100 😂

[@StupidOldSkaters]

Interesting to see your process and how you break things down. You're a completely different type of skater to me as i like ledges and banks... but it's cool how us older skaters break things down😊. Enjoyed this
