Havnt skated in close to 10 years. Watching your vids made me go pick up a board again.... I'm not as good at thirty as I was at twenty but the passion is back! Thanks jonny!

[@JonnyGiger]

glad to hear that man! this comment means a lot, seriously. Really appreciate it!

[@Christofur]

I'm with you too bro...I'm 32 in Sept. and it's basically been as long since I skated somewhat consistently with my buddies as the age I was WHEN I skated (15). That's 15 whole f*ck1ng years! Half a life ago... The funny part is how the stereotype back then had all these negative associations with living "hard and fast"... In reality, personally speaking, skating is a way for me to slow things down. It allows me to escape inwards and is such a great way to both expend energy and be energized at the same time. Untill you shin yourself of course.

[@sethprops4404]

So sick!

[@ricksanchez8573]

September what? I'll be 33 on the 3rd.

[@Christofur]

@@ricksanchez8573 23rd brother. I'll be 32 on the 23rd...32/23 and you'll be 33 on the 3rd 33/3! Numbers man...they are all around us. Happy way early birthday my man. May we all keep on truckin' as they say. I'm sure some people still say that. *KEEP ON (🚚) KEEPING ON!!!*

[@joopvanzeir3330]

This format of video is perfect, not only landing the trick but explaining how to get there is what everyone needs to learn these tricks. Keep it up!

[@sprinkleLPs]

My "dream" trick. One day I'll get it down. Just gotta get the ollie first 😂

[@DragonLord387]

You will be able to do it! Just keep keep practicing man :D

Everyone, make sure you watch 'till the end for a sick line from Jonny...Jonny Nollie in this case. Seriously though, your editing and overall, your videos as a whole, have gotten to a whole new level. I really admire your progression AV-wise, but you know your boy Chris is here for (the progression of) your skating. It inspires me so.

right 😄

Including the ollie and kickpflip?

@@thur9368 yeah it was impossible when he first invented it

[@joellouisfire]

They moment you realize.... they're ALL impossibles

[@maryseraphenon]

@@thur9368 i mean he didnt invent the ollie, Alan "ollie" gelfald did, but rodney just took it to flatground a few years later

[@bjjbrawler1]

Rodney Mullen did a small demo in the Ocean County Mall, in Toms River, NJ when I was a teen.. It was 1988 I believe. He is a legend, but at that time, it was absolutely mindblowing. Always a fan since. Skating is awesome, I still cruise around when I can!

[@ltrizzle12]

bjjbrawler1 Word up. I’m from the Dirty, too. Still cruise at 41. Cuz falling down hurts. 🤘

[@tontsyy]

Hell yeah! You smashed it. I haven't skated in 15 years, I've been thinking about starting again! I think you've given me the boost I've needed!

[@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid]

8:11 "Not good enough..." This is the video highlight for me, because it demonstrates your ability to evaluate yourself honestly. I've only seen a few of your videos, but it seems to me that you're an appropriately harsh critic of your own performance, and that's a trait shared by all greats from any sport or any activity - you don't seem to settle for anything less than bolts. That's as awesome as it is rare. Excellent video, Jonny! :)

[@Monkeyb00y]

Love all the Mullen vids. It's amazing that in 1980s, he retired because he didn't have any competition at all as a freestyle skater. Then the 90s happened and here we are today. He's still innovating too. Amazing job!

[@canceracar]

Loving this series, and frankly I’m glad you’re vlogging more. It is nice to here you talk, 🙏

[@JonnyGiger]

thanks man :D

[@nemo8416]

I wasn't skateboarding for maybe 15 years now... watching these videos brings back the magic. Skateboarding is magic... skateboarding, electric guitar, the setting sun reflecting on the street... SKATEBOARD MADNESS FOREVER!!!

[@BlackFaceTrudeau]

I’ve never put my feet on a skateboard in my life, but I’ve always been fascinated by the culture surrounding it and even more by skateboarders, the relentlessness, tenacity and sheer willingness to hurt themselves in order to perfect their craft is kinda motivating!

[@vanamutt43]

Skating is so dope...i used to skate as a kid, and i could even land a kickflip, but then i just stopped for some reason... Now almost 15 years later, I want to start skating again... Thanks for your vids man. Hopefully my old ass ankles can survive :D

[@Nibs333]

pohmakas33 just what I was thinking. Don’t break a hip lol

[@vanamutt43]

@@Nibs333 :D yes thats certainly a problem... as a kid, scratches and bangs will heal quickly but when youre older, shit takes so long to heal and aches for days...

[@algozb]

It's one of the greatest feeling ever! I used to practice all Mullen's tricks, the darkslide was the second that I learn (back in 2005 more or less) I know your feel. Congratulations for remember this awesome skater who Mullen was...

[@ozzzzy52]

Mullen is still alive yknow

[@whitetrashandhellbound6905]

Rodney Mullen is the guy that got me on a Board. I never was able to do a "Perfect" Dark Slide but man did I ever have fun trying lol I dedicate all the Broken Bones I had to Rodney Mullen, Tony Hawk and Rune Gilfberg. You guys are and will always be my Heroes lol

[@drexelsending]

Rodney Mullen is my idol. Was skeptical watching these but, you're killin it. Love these videos.

[@Menschenleser]

I think your videos are the best I've ever seen! Watching you skate raises the desire to start skateboarding again. Thanks for letting us take part of your journeys. Regards from Germany!

[@goatthemad]

Just found your channel the other day. Like your commentary and content. Subscribed! I'm a 40 year old ex skater, i just got to say while Tony hawk has always been the guy to watch, Rodney Mullen has always been the MAN

[@nickbisceglie2973]

I love seeing these classic tricks in the modern world of skating! Rodney Mullen is my favorite skater and this series is extremely satisfying to watch. Keep it up my dude!

[@irmasil3]

I love this series!! Keep it up!! Rodney overkill 9000...damn right!!! Try to land THAT primo!!!

[@SnakeyJakey]

Love your channel mate! So inspirational after 12 years+ of the board. Started again a few weeks back and found your channel some days ago! Keep it up!

[@joshuanicely8722]

Hey Jonny, I was a skater many years ago, mid 80's, and remember when many of the tricks you make videos on were invented. I remember seeing Natas doing an Ollie over a dumpster in a Thrasher spread. I COULDN'T BELIEVE the Ollie's that guy could pull. I'm too old and fragile to skate now but I really enjoy your stuff man, thanks for posting. Stay safe brother!

[@betterthanthelast]

I love how you show all the failed attempts. Really puts into perspective that even pros have to try a trick a shit load of times.

[@mattmchenry6835]

Mullen was my inspiration to skate in the first place. Watching the Mullen vs song videos as a kid completely set my style, it was all about flipping the board in the strangest way possible and figuring out how to get back on lol. I haven't skated in a few years because of work and life but I can't wait to get out and shred again. Skate or Die!

[@TheBiscuitFactory]

I’m loving this series!!!! I don’t think learning all of his tricks is an impossible feat for you jonny

[@Nardath]

i honestly get super hyped watching your progress throughout the vids man. loving this series already!

[@OddJames]

The black and gray flashbacks had me dying lmao the underside hitting the ledge is definitely like hitting the brakes lmao dwam!

[@MrHogzor]

This guy looks like hes 16 and 40 at the same time! xD

[@calebbean3658]

So does Rodney Mullen ha

[@lemevlonemane6526]

😂 Deadass

[@khalil4978]

he probably is

[@mikemaz6121]

The funny part is I'm pretty sure his age is like dead nuts in the middle of 16 and 40

[@BiggsLife]

I just found these vids and i'm for sure subscribing and already liked pretty much all videos. Makes me want to get back on a board. Started when I was 10 stopped at 17 and I miss it. I seriously wish I could afford a board to teach my son. I miss the days of building a deck with independents, reds, world industry wheels etc. I miss it man. Love the videos keep it up bro!

[@TenThumbsProductions]

Great video, I really enjoyed that!

[@Biltospill]

Badasss video and edit. LOVE the little cuta where you call yourself out.. ie.. dont need qax cut away!!!! SO FUNNY.

This is so awesome watching you recreate the greatest tricks ever made. As a skateboarder I definitely needed to subscribe I’m out on an injury right now and can’t skate for 6 months but when I get back I will be uploading videos!!!

Love the editing extras in this vid, Jonny! Top notch!

[@jarridlavios4182]

You show the skill and perseverance in learning skateboarding like every trick I know....goes to show the hard work it takes n no one is natrual better, just dared to try ;).

[@Neomax25]

Enjoying this series and I'm not even a skater. Keep it up 👍🏻

[@PartyOnMyBlock]

Just recently started back skating again and these videos are very inspiring. I want to learn darkslides now :) great vidoes man.

[@Sendtheshutter]

Props for you not settling for anything less than perfection. You the man!

[@daydreamsandnightmares9843]

Sick sick trick! The Dark Slide! An awesome name for the amazing trick. Good Job on landing it and the video. Not a skater, but I admire the hell outta anyone who comes up with such creative ideas.

[@alexanderbertallo1995]

This new series is pretty (&) sweet. Also nice that you make some longer videos again. Keep'em coming

Thanks for the positive feedback! :)

[@rynjy0921]

your videos are worth watching. i can see the hardwork, struggle and dedication. keep it up sir. 🙏

[@kenshigo3833]

i only clicked because i ALWAYS picked Mullen when i played the Tony Hawk games, the real life clips they showed in the game were so good and this guy was the best!

[@user-iz7zy7rx9t]

Was good to watch but more fun to close my eyes and imagine the greatest supervillan Gru learning the darkslide.

[@chrisevans212]

I immediately laughed at 8:15, then you said "MULLEN OVERKILL 9000" and I laughed even harder lol

[@AdventuresInSkateboarding]

Awesome Job as always. Loving the series. And a really good edit on top of it all.

[@energ8t]

Great job learning and landing these! That takes a ton of skill

[@sk8_bort]

Even though this is not supposed to be a trick tip, it's actually more helpful than most of them. Keep doing this kind of in depth videos, jonny!
