I Went Street Skating ALONE At Night

[@AndrewSchrock]

Solo night skating is one of the most therapeutic things of all time. Skate on brother. I feel this

[@robertborden2666]

I’ve been tempted to go to my all night street spot alone a few times. But it’s nice to have a few skaters along with me so I can count on a rescue if I hurt myself.

[@javiertuberaw5127]

hi

[@samuelemeryjiujitsu]

I'm feeling it so much. Thanks Andrew. I love you and John's content. It's cool.

When I was working midnights that’s all I did was skate at night

[@joe_sabella]

6:20 Random lady: "Aren't you scared of falling on your butt?" John: "no, I've conquered that fear." John 2 seconds later *falls on butt* beautiful

[@ghostplayzbusters]

it truly was beautiful

[@MrJayOkane]

I agree

[@nairdasmoych]

"I wanna go skate like right now" *late at night* "...Is that too much?" "Noo, go do it" ❤ keep fucking progressing everyone!🤟🏽

[@DavidSno]

Dude, love the message. I wish I grew up with friends like you but grateful you put content out like this for yourself and everyone here. I feel like I’ve hit my quarter life moment of questioning everything and trying to to navigate how to leave my draining work and fill with with things actually love like spending time with family and not stressing about work projects, skating to good music and making art. Anyway..you’re an awesome human dude… i wish you the best in everything you’re doing 🤙🏽

[@eggshells7514]

Same dude I got no homies to skate with

[@Codymfhoward]

I felt this message. Work is SO draining but SUCH a necessity. Many times have I screamed at my steering wheel out of pure frustration. Working in management learning that all the work I do is for the benefit of a company that doesn't care about me. A company that will take me out for ANYBODY Willing to help customers. Employees showing up for a paycheck not for the benefit of the team. The BIGGEST thing I learned is. I AM ME. I AM DIFFERENT. I am meant to CREATE. I'm not meant for this 9-5.

[@mtparkourartist]

Dude holy fuck we are in the same position. I have been so fucking confused for the past 6 months. I recently picked up skating again, started reading more books, been doing a lot of painting. I just broke up with my gf of 3 years because I felt like she was holding me back. I lost my job 8 months ago and havent had consistent work since. Not because Im unemployable, but because its soul sucking. I worked construction for 4 years and thought it was my career. I worked 40-60 hours a week, its labor, so i get home completely swamped and had no energy for anything except tv, xbox, weed, and cigs. I was dead but breathing. Since I got fired, I have been much happier and motivated to use what precious time we have in this life for me. Of course im in lala land, i owe like 10 grand in loans and unsettled debt. My electricity got turned off 2 weeks ago and my toilet flushes with a bucket. I feel so free, I am trying to experiment with living outside and only off the essentials; food, water, shelter- whilst entertaining myself with what I mentioned in the first paragraph. Its very unconventional, and I question myself everyday but i have no other options besides getting a job.. what a drag

[@Jacobunny]

I love night skating, though for me it is mostly cruising streets and hills (I'm generally pretty terrible/beginner, but I love being on my board). Going out for night skates has helped keep me in a happier space during our recent COVID lockdown period. Shot out around midnight on Mon/Tue this week and cruised 4 new mild suburban hills. So nice.

[@TheAtoll]

Excellent video! one of the best on the channel!

[@samuelemeryjiujitsu]

This is a beautiful example and execution of the fact that not all areas/places/people/environments are negative and violent. I love the world and country I live in. Thanks John.

[@ReneGBoscio]

Loved this night session video. I've slowly started skating again after 20 years (I'm 33 now) and your videos have been hugely inspiring. There's definitely a heightened sense of fear and responsibility at this age (being a dad and all) which keeps me from getting all my old tricks back as quickly as I'd like, but my wife got me a PD/KR Slap Pad for my birthday and it's been a blast. So thank you for that as well!

[@robertborden2666]

I’m like you, but add 10 years to the 20 off. But approaching 45 I am skating with an urgency to progress while my body and lifestyle still allow it. I have to be smart about what I try for the same reasons (breadwinner) but I’m compelled to battle tricks and try new stuff. I have to give myself permission to plow through. It’s teaching me things about myself I never would have known otherwise. Keep at it!

[@carsoncronkhite7594]

So happy he's back on the board for the solo sessions

[@zakkziegler111]

Right on, brother. Always nice when you have such a supportive partner that doesn't berate you for doing the things that you love to do. Amazing stuff, as always.

[@arnv9]

Bro, this vid, it’s almost therapeutic, if that makes any sense? Keep killing it dude!

[@Codymfhoward]

Yes! I agree. This is what I needed at the end of my day. Thank you John!

[@bendingriver7101]

Recently, so much of what you've been doing feels right on the edge of a coming of age mid 90sesque Wes Anderson style vlog and idk anyone else doing that.

[@ryonmcdermott6087]

I love skating at night. You captured the spirit of it perfectly with these clips. Nice work!

[@teenylank]

I am loving your videos my dude! On both channels seeing you work through what you’ve got going on and continuing to make dope content is super inspiring!

[@user-lg3sw8kq8u]

Just watching you enjoy skating is awesome. No pressure, just good music, good vibes. Thanks x

[@Clarke1982]

Thank you for sharing. I love evening/night sessions. During winter it helps ease the, sometimes, uneasy, feeling of long dark nights… At least here in Scotland.

[@avgpiece]

I learnt to ollie well and started my kickflips a year ago but havent skated since. I use my dodgy neighbourhood as an excuse and its just cold in winter but i rly need to start again

[@noahcwb]

i used to regularly take my longboard out in my chill neighborhood around 12-2am and just ride and feel the cool summer breeze or brisk autumn wind. i miss those days

[@bigbeanzzz]

Front side flip switch manny was pretty dope

[@TommyCrossen]

Love both your channels. Seeing you skate makes me happy and seeing you do art that makes you happy also makes me happy.

[@aragonezg]

These videos are awesome. And no pressure on putting out content continuously. The community loves you and will be here for you if and when you need breaks.

[@EthanSeymour]

Thank you John for this therapeutic night skate session!

[@liam_dawson]

i love the ethereal vibe of you skating at night.

[@lukerathbone6035]

Love this! The music, the skating, the message, your face!

[@AdrianBilladeau]

It is always nice to just go cruise around and get a few tricks. My pressure always came from getting the next big trick. But the more I grew and developed in skating that faded. I progressed the most when it all became simply fun again. Love the videos boss! Cheers!

[@eaglehdz2123]

yo man keep doing what you love! definitely love the direction you’re going with the channels. it’s so therapeutic to just listen and see you do what’s making you happy!!

[@jordancasola8605]

Due to my job and family commitments, this it the only type of skating I can do right now. I love this and can relate

[@Quendin_08]

This is skating at its best!! Loved this vid so much

[@Matt-jo4nz]

love you content john great message as always! true fans are here for you throughout the channel name switch. u the man so inspirational

[@DzSwipe]

This video was so incredibly calming and nice to watch. Absolutely loved the chill atmosphere. Glad you're back on the board!

[@diazspd17]

So genuine and I love it

[@Mrmannycalvera]

I do it often as I work all day from the morning until the early evening, and I skate at night when I can, unless I am too tired and it doesn't get too cold and and nor too late .

[@Propstew]

This video is exactly what I needed right now. Thanks dude!

[@AustinHartwig]

Bro it's so refreshing to see someone Master the KZbin skate vlog aesthetic. Congrats John, you receive master placque from me

[@nathangirardot1718]

skated the other day for the first time in 3 weeks, cuz I really dont have time with school + work, I was really happy to just skate with friends, finding them and them hyping me up for comming to skate was really gratefull of the few hours i had to skate that day

[@bomesar]

Good man. You make things feel so positive. You and Giger, one of the few left.

[@rccollin7699]

Man it has been a couple weeks since i haven't skated. I think it is mostly the weather, but i need to go out and have a little session.

[@Dumpyyling]

the aesthetic of the night skating is beautiful

[@nocrab]

This was my fave vid in a long time! It really shines through that you did this for yourself :)

[@n4tcf]

That last part fucked me up. You’re a legend🏆

[@j.a.c3154]

love the vibe of this video

[@JackCalvinRoss]

"Skateboarding is always there for you when you want it." Good stuff.

[@Randa16-Kota17]

Dude I vibe with this vid so much not even the skating tho just the vibe of the video is getting me lol looking forward to that video you was talking about at the end about getting back on the board and the pressure it can have I feel that too

[@BullOfWallstreet153]

I always come back to your content. Even after some breaks from watching KZbin. 🙂 keeping making these awesome videos man! I used to skate/bike/run at night all the time when I’d get stressed over life. I might give it a shot sometime again. It’s therapeutic 🙂

[@TheFnSpot]

i highly enjoy watching your videos, John. i can no longer skate because of my bum knees (and wasnt any good when i did lol). You, johnny Giger, The Nine Club guys are my windows into the skate world beyond my fingerboarding scene. youre legit one of the few skaters i genuinely try to somewhat emulate on a fingerboard. keep up the videos and art my dude, much love.

[@flckvanse]

6:20 the nicest people to meet when skating are those who don't get mad show interest and let you do your own thing

[@savannahp3339]

Love your videos! Do you have any tips for beginners like me that are afraid of skating alone?

[@Dave3rdEyeArt]

Agree with Andy! Street skating at night is my chi! Its how I learned to Kickflip, IV even learned some of my tricks on the same kinda spots! An ATM bank manny pad is perf for night

[@AdventuresInSkateboarding]

Moments like this remind me why I watch the channel.

[@DLivingston]

Keep Killing It!

[@thepancakemann]

Used to skate at night as a teenager when I was fucking raging. It kept me from directing my anger towards others. I still go out for night skates when I'm angry or frustrated in my life 8 years later. Instant relief.

[@dilonpedro6413]

Straight up loved this video so much just such a influential homie

[@NeedGT3]

“ is that too much”. I love it

[@ooVlad]

One of the most relatable and inspirational people

[@johnsonliu2455]

Love this. Makes me wanna go set up a tripod and skate

[@JAXIPRODUCTIONS]

i really like the angle 5:16 i was not sure if there was a mannie pad behind that yellow thing or if it goes down

[@bobburbanks7718]

Solo night skating is great if you just want to drift off and get absorbed into skating. Almost like meditation sometimes. Great visuals btw.

[@bakedbeings]

That's bananas, I've never lived anywhere (in Australia) you couldn't go night skating fairy safely, the bigger issue is being super loud and the night security. Glad you found a spot!

[@jakethelittlesnake6258]

Great video John, Keep Killing It!

[@medardovazquez3893]

I'm glad that you are glad that we have faith in you. Progress daily and keep killing it :)

[@Kazperian]

I get you man, when I started uploading stuff I was too worried about the numbers and at a moment I was so tired of not having fun at what I loved and stopped doing it completely I just let it all go for a long time, then I switched from gaming to skateboarding (if you can call it that... lol) and I feel exactly as you described it, just something to keep safe in time for myself to watch at a later time in life.

[@IncelopeMori]

the sound he made when the board hit him in the chest 😂💁🏻‍♀️✨

[@mikaelv5086]

Keep killing it! 🤙🏽

[@scoobyskate2349]

This video makes me miss my friends when we were all skating at night making memories love it.

[@goldleader6169]

This was great, best vid in a while tbh

[@jok6173]

[@SnowyBlizzard]

[@redadriver7674]

[@kingzero7645]

[@rafael-rivera]

I am starting to skateboard again at 39yo and enjoy being outside. Anyways, I love both your art and skateboarding videos!

[@josuecheves187]

Make a video about your injuries and how to recover from them

[@romanscalph374]

Yo! Do more videos like this! I used to follow Sarah's channel and just started skating again and remembered you guys dated and you had a cool skating channel. Sick stuff bro! Also I just moved to the Dallas FW area! Sick to hear about that.

[@skateorhate9123]

DUDE I LITERALLY SAID DO A NO COMPLY 180 and literally the next trick was a no comply 180! Also John hill if you see this, do you have any skateboard tips for a pop shuv it? I’ve been trying to land one but I can’t seem to get my back foot on. Anyways, thanks for posting all of you awesome content and I honestly think your the best skateboard channel I’ve like watched ever! Your always so positive it makes me jealous and when I see other skate channels they are so angry so thanks for making this content!

[@lyndellt]

Keep killing it ❤️

[@mcjennydeath1874]

Guys need help, getting back to skate I’m 26 and I havebt skate for the last 2 years or 3 I feel so afraid not sure how to gain confidence again and get my pop back, feeling soooo heavy any tips?

[@dantebazzea782]

This video had a nice vibe to it!

[@yack7403]

Crazy that ur in dallas rn, had no idea. Hope its treating you well! One of the best cities ive lived in for sure

[@TheAnimeist]

@0:10 "Is that too much" It depends on your audience. :) As a skater it's never enough. As a spouse it's always enough.

[@souperdave2009]

Used to skate all night in Fla to avoid the heat and traffic. Some pretty cool vibes 🔨

[@marqcorrigan8262]

John I realy enjoy your videos they take me back to when I skated before you were born I still dabble once and a while but not as much as I should. Your encouragement helps just keep telling me to get back at it, I love this kind of video great music calm visually beautiful your the best at what you do. Please relax skate for you don't worry about us because what ever you create will be great.

[@diablodan1459]

Wow the ending was great and the words were very inspiring

[@the1jessebrown]

Skateboarding is there for you whenever you want it

[@lightning3605]

Not first but I just wanna thank you John for inspiring me to skate, I'm so close to a kickflip so yeah

[@KodyWalker]

Banks always have the best manny pads to hit. Especially at night when theyre closed.

[@cromag_jetlag9079]

[@Godwhyrhys]

I feel like John would love loving in Japan, skate scene there and all the opportunities for art with anime and the creators there, just full on do a Loui mora
