bAhT!!! One of my favorite video parts ever ❤️

[@Nightspeeds]

That last trick is unbelievable 🔥

[@carlosnario1869]

Yep so creative

[@ratscavage]

And it’s keeping with the theme of his enders in the last four AHMs

[@nate_feag8044]

Yeah I mean who would ever even think to attempt that besides him

[@burnspll103]

hit straight in the childhood with that song selection 😢

[@marcusrosales3344]

Me too. Sad since all my friends I grew up watching this with are now selfish drug addicts :(

[@daddydanko1189]

For real love itttt

[@daddydanko1189]

Marcus Rosales you need new friends homie

[@snowshark117]

YEP.

[@marcusrosales3344]

@@daddydanko1189 True that. Got some new friends but still alot has changed in the last 12 years :/

[@rahmanpermana4741]

feels like every trick is a dream trick, like he actually worked for every trick, it's not like he does something he already knows how to do. that ending made my jaw drop

[@PlaceSkateboardCulture]

John Motta is the "nutty" professor that influenced so much of what is going on today but never quite got all the shine for it. We love him for it!

[@thelostbobby7]

i agree

[@SYCHO-DELIC]

Glad someone else notice.

[@avery94onabase]

it legitimately fucking warms my heart and gives me chills to hear the song from the first happy medium promo in here.

[@SupreMeFilm]

the song made this come full circle

[@humanpart2]

when i recognized it a wave of emotions came over me

[@annievelenovsky925]

Inspiring me since I was like ten years old. I swear skaters from Arizona are just the gnarliest

[@jmz2144]

Idk why but I knew he was from Arizona, I remember watching a video of his from 10 years ago with some really cool spots from Arizona

[@donttalktome425]

This part was so refreshing that ender hit me just like the first happy medium

[@samtabor]

Last trick is bonkers

[@GolbezaDK]

i used to skate with a lot of these guys when I was a kid. John was always such a nice guy, this part is so sick!

[@Jeremyramone]

Great comment, i love nice people. Cheers from san Diego

[@falcosk8]

that last trick blew my mind!!

[@EricJKuhns]

This video makes me miss huggin the bros 😭

[@RanderBobanders]

Music and trick selection hit me right in the feels!!

[@tylerforrest2115]

Are you kidding me with that last trick

[@baggytony]

Boundless creativity, shortest 6 minutes of my life!!! This is the shit that hypes me up to skate.

[@daddydanko1189]

I love the fact you guys use the song from the og happy medium promo from way back! I Yuv you motta

[@lastingeyedamage]

What a fricking hero ! Everyone loves Motta

[@kevo3985]

Man it’s been along time since I’ve watched John skate I used to watch his first happy medium part everyday after school before going skating so cool to see him still skating I should have known he still rips but unfortunately don’t follow things like I once did

[@kacalllove2914]

I haven’t been skating for about 5 years due to studies/work.. but now I came back and watching John is so inspiring.. he just having super fun skating, so do I once again!

[@michaelknoth2352]

That song was absolutely perfect for that part

[@CarlosFreire]

with that beginning.. i could not stop smiling and freaking throughout the video!! 💥

[@chasepotter2376]

There’s something about Arizona skate spots and this like, distinctive style every good skater has here. Very dear to any Arizona raised skateboarder’s heart, I would say ❤️

[@WheelMarks]

That part was amazing!! John Motta is a straight up legend of the skate game! Inventive tricks, crazy spots, fun skating, this absolutely rules! Respect and love to this dude, thank you for skateboarding sir :)

[@leejordan5937]

Happy medium makes me happy extra large. Easily the best video series out there. Anyone who thumbed down wishes they could but they can't so they won't

[@jacobhiers]

I know how important that hardflip wallride was. John is the best and I ❤ you dudes 🙂

[@Stickiestboi]

John Motta is my new favorite skater!

[@dreamjackson5483]

[@idontwantone132]

I never thought I'd see the day where the o'shea brothers recycle a song lol amazing part by one of my favs. hope john is doing good

[@mouman]

I feel like ive grown up and john has always been there, like ever since i saw his tuck knee tutorial on transworld trick tips. Like to see this part cements his legend status in skating. From day one John, you have been a huge inspiration to me, to see this part brings tears to my eyes.

[@gmsthisvilekingdom3390]

The music brings me back to 08...for the promo

[@petepete3657]

I’ve always saw something special in his skating. Definitely one of my favs and so underrated 🎈

[@DanielIvan707]

This is what skateboarding is all about! It sucks to see skateboarding getting away from this. Pure stoke. it doesn’t matter where you are born you can be creative with your environment. ❤

[@uzielvillatoro4872]

One of his best part. Love his skateboarding.

[@nate_feag8044]

He has always made sketchy look so good, was always my favorite since pvwhl

[@mattcopeland8833]

John is great. The music and editing is not only amazing on John’s part, but all the teams parts

[@smokedipjew]

Using the same song from their first promo punches you right in the stomach - in a good way.

[@manual.focus1]

This is the type of video part that makes a grown ass man cry.

[@avery94onabase]

[@freddyphillips1810]

Holly crap!! Hardflip to friggin wall ride??!!!? Only John Motta ...

[@AlgerLapitan]

Back when I used to skate every single day, I would watch happy medium and John Motta was literally my inspiration. Don’t skate anymore, but watching this brought back memories and nostalgia. Inspired me to pick a skateboard back up and just have fun. Thank you for this. ❤️

[@Slaughterhousesean87]

[@d.klotzzz1383]

Ooooof too real.

[@getradvideo]

Hardflip wallride? Im done.

[@nikomyorobinson8147]

I was watching AHM1 and identifying with Johns Frequency, his soul: Well all that time since then I have been in multiple mental hospitals, jail for 8 months, Now I'm calling the shots on earth ya know, Don't worry John, the heart will never be anywhere apart from the Nature that is the Love your friends and everyone else has for YOU! (America was a bad place, you did the right thing, I will take anything you don't feel you can, we are ALL in this together)

Hard flip wall ride was just fricking kooky dood

[@misspretty8969]

AFTER SO LONG THIS MADE ME TEAR UP. I MISS THE DAYS WHEN I DIDNT HVE TO WORK AT A STUPID FUCKIN JOB AND DIDNT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF BEING AN ADULT. I STILL SKATE, BUT THOSE DAYS WERE UNBEATABLE. WAKING UP EATING A LITTLE SNACK THEN JUST SKATING ALL DAY WITH THE DAY 1 HOMIES. ONLY WORRY WAS IF I WAS GONNA LAND THE TRICK I TRIED A BILLION TIMES THE DAY BEFORE....
