Improving Basic Mini Ramp Skateboard Techniques (Nose Stall Reclaim)

[@markpolitowicz5295]

Love the intro and outro. Totally slams I do. Starting up again after 41 years off the board. I'm 59 and learning stuff I couldn't do as a kid.

[@JonBishopSkate]

Great stuff !

[@y0urit]

Mate, those river dances look amazing. I can't even imagine dropping in like that, proper job!

[@johnny_jun_]

Yeah Jon!

[@klezmorim1980]

I am new to the channel, and been staking since Santa. And yes, my favourite skate channel easy. Keep up the great work.

[@JoelSimbrow]

[@matthewdawson1987]

[@JonBishopSkate]

It's always fun to watch your vids. I know exactly what you are going through after recovering from an injury. Mental blockades are a piece of sh.. to overcome. One point about your nose stall revert. You turned to late. The revert should mainly happen on your front truck. Reverting in the other direction is also a good practices to. It helps a lot to get the frontside rock 'n roll back. Keep on skating

[@JonBishopSkate]

Thanks dude, yeah, just getting them back and need to work on the tail version for sure, thanks for the input !

[@joaomiguel1988]

man you are really really improving! well done!

[@craigmeehan6988]

looks mint.

[@joeskull]

Never tried a Riverdance. Thanks for the idea!

[@JonBishopSkate]

Ha, it’s 80% commitment I recon, just have to trust in Newtons laws 😂

[@Joshua.Doyle89]

Bro you the man for purposely taking them falls just to add to the lesson.

[@JonBishopSkate]

Ha, I wish I was good enough to have to fall off deliberately 😂 Sadly I tried my best every time, I always leave in the cock ups as it’s more realistic ?!!

[@Joshua.Doyle89]

@@JonBishopSkate lol. I thought you were trying to show common ways to fall when trying those tricks. The one to the ribs on the spine looked butal. I’ve seen that happen to a lot of people.

[@Skate_48]

Nice work, the foot in the pocket is good advice. Watching I couldn't figure out which was which doing both together they looked as clean as each other. Never done a nose stall revert but I might give that a whirl. Keep rolling fella!

[@stephencrossskate2638]

I love nose/tail stalls .I do the relaxed nose stall but I prefer the more aggressive ones where I get the foot closer to the edge of the nose and the wheels go higher .Reverts I cannot do .Need to work on them.Good vid Ramp is pretty similar to what I skate.Same materials .4 ft?

[@JonBishopSkate]

Nice one dude, yeah just over 3ft I recon with a skatelite type surface?

[@Bowl_sessions]

Love your videos Jon. Great job on getting the nose stall reverts back. I just started getting tail stall reverts. I want to try and get them back side revert next. Have been doing a front side revert so far to come back in. As always your channel is inspirational for the next session. going to try and get the nose stalls when it stops raining here. Watching the process and your commentary that goes with it, always gives me ideas and confidence to try different tricks.

[@JonBishopSkate]

Great stuff, yeah I need to get on the tail reverts. Just got to be in the right mood, I know I’ll take a battering 😂

[@abbeyglencircle]

You are getting better everyday broh 🤙🤙🤙

[@NeilHesterSkateboarding]

Hello mate, fantastic vid’ and very timely , On Wednesday I also decided to try and reclaim the nose stalls , I’ve not had them on lock since the mid 90’s and only had a few lucky ones since getting back in the board. I’m definitely leaning forward too much as I over balance into the platform too often if I’m not under cooking the entry and bouncing off the coping. I absolutely need to try and relax a bit and stay in the ramp more like you did. You got to the point where it was hard to tell which was tail and which was nose which was awesome, well done ! And a hearty congratulations on the 1M that’s astonishing but very well deserved!👏🏼👊🏼

[@JonBishopSkate]

Cheers dude, looking forward to an insta clip of your nose action, are you back now?

[@NeilHesterSkateboarding]

@@JonBishopSkate cool cheers 👍🏻 yeah got back on Monday , definitely feeling to post holiday blues 😔

[@nigelhunt7087]

Hey man! Great vid. Where is that mini? It looks great for learning on… ps still loving the baby Taylor. It goes everywhere with me 🤩

[@winstonloh1051]

that riverdance looks terrifying! oh yeah, you arent "learning how to skate" you are a middle ages guy SHREDDING!

[@JonBishopSkate]

Cheers dude

[@nekro9t2]

Jon, can you recommend any companies that sell quarter pipes? I don't have the skills or time to build one myself. I'm looking for a 2ft high ramp to fit in my parents garden so I can practice some tricks whilst not at the skatepark. I've googled some but not sure about the design or quality. cheers

[@JonBishopSkate]

Hey Dude No idea I’m afraid? I’ve seen a few on eBay, but no idea what is what?

[@lastdance29]

Hi Jon, hope you are well. Just a quick question I live near Roche, but the mini ramp is 4ft there, I'm looking for a 2ft or 3ft mini to practice basic tricks? Are there any close by as haven't visited all the skate parks around. Thsnks for your time much appreciated!

[@JonBishopSkate]

Hey Dude, Yeah, there are a couple of sections at concrete waves 🌊 that are small. Also Probus has a mini ramp that is pretty mellow?!

[@lastdance29]

@@JonBishopSkate Okay thank you, I will try probus at some point, as a rock2faki at Roche got me feeling like my hips gonna get a good battering lol! Small steps

[@tim.jenkins75]

slick !!! :) hahah.... hay jon where is that mini your on ???

[@enerian4525]

Hey jon thanks for the Video! just in case you run out of ideas. maybe you could make a video about your "skate life balance ". Im in my very late 30tees and father of two children i find it super hard to get some free time for skating and if i do i run out of energy very fast and my muscles hurt for weeks..Also i recognize after 3 days skating my Performance goes rapidly down: tricks i had on lock are then giving me a hard time.. anyhow i Was just wondering how much time do you spend for a Session, how offten per week. any food advise? stuff like this .. would be super interesting to know your secrets how you can get so much skating done! :))) thank you !!!

[@JonBishopSkate]

That’s a great idea dude. I’ve been thinking of doing something like that, I’ve sort of skirted around various topics of that nature. It’s a hard subject to cover without sounding like a preacher 😂

[@enerian4525]

@@JonBishopSkate Not big of a churchgoer but looking forwoard to that one ;)

[@hoopershoes]

Any guesses what the radius is on this ramp? I’m building one and this looks perfect

[@JonBishopSkate]

Hey Dude Yeah it’s great to learn on, but it is a touch too mellow I’d say? My backyard ramp was similar and had a 6’10” radius? I recon about 6’ to 6.5’ radius would feel pretty standard up to about 3.5 ft high. The indoor mini is a 5 foot ramp with a 7’ radius and that feels pretty steep in comparison ?!

[@davehollin6477]

Its perfect for learning new tricks. I love this ramp.

[@hoopershoes]

Thanks! I feel better about committing to a 6.5 radius now. I’m building a concrete bowl so there is no turning back😅

[@JonBishopSkate]

@@hoopershoes crikey! Yeah defo wouldn’t go mellow for a bowl!

[@natooo8312]

Is riverdance also known as a Kamakazi? Don't forget to bend those knees! You would stuck some of those first ones if you had more bendage!

[@JonBishopSkate]

Yeah dude, I guess there are all sorts of names, my mate calls it ‘the pink chicken’ 😂 it’s a constant battle with the knees, 6’3” with the legs of a stork 😂

[@lxlKHARMAlxl]

Your energy feels a little down in this one. Hope you are ok! You are beautifully charismatic. Never lose that.

[@JonBishopSkate]

Thanks for checking in dude! Yeah all good this end !

[@carloscosta1975]

Hey man, to use your language, it looks way more economical. They really make you look more "proper".

[@JonBishopSkate]

Cheers dude!
