Yo, try to make collab videos with your heroes on each trick you wanna learn that you can’t figure out on your own. Like that back 360. Would be super cool!

indeed, get Johnny into helping

[@ander5917]

back 360 is such a cool trick to just have on lock. They way people just throw them down stairs like nothing looks so good.

[@zoeconley4114]

Mathew Davis broke my ankle doing a rock to fakie after I had just learned it a few tried ago. Also it was on a 5 foot ramp and before that day I wouldn’t touch anything above 4 foot because when I was learning to drop in I was smart and tried on a six foot vert ramp and hit my elbow so hard

[@tanapsycho1008]

I’ve been trying to learn to kick flip and it was so hard but I finally got the flick down half way so it flips onto the bottom part of the deck but your slogan helped me because I progressed today 😊🛹

[@over-uz3pq]

Sick! Try the trick at least thirty minutes a day it helps your muscle memory more than doing it in one long sesh

[@highanglelarry]

If you work on doing it just like an ollie but right before the your lead foot would level out bring it forward and to the corner between the nose and backside of your board. You really don't have to flick and it'll level out better.

[@highanglelarry]

My heelflips were clean but never more than a foot off the ground. I changed the method to do the opposite of a kickflip. I later learned that it was a toeflip. The kick and toe also should be almost as high as your ollie. Ive heard toeflip used for another trick too.

[@lionelinx7]

Love you John, its been a while since I watched a vlog but You inspire me a lot still and I think of how I can start my own creative career

[@siiiiiiiiiimo]

I was lookin for this comment hahaha #skategod for life

[@truecuckoo]

I’ve seen kinda two ways people make back360. The coolest being when they tweak them down with their front foot and let the front foot seemingly take the lead and kinda twirl the board all the way around, like a sort of Ollying over something very high and multi dimensional. The more laid back looking type is when they actually loose contact with the board with the front foot (almost like Ollie north) and seemingly let the back foot lead the board around, more like a mid air pirouette.

[@highanglelarry]

Like a cab?

[@bovedli]

16 years of skating and here are my top 10 tricks I can’t figure out: Inward heels in any stance Effortless Switch heels (not like the one that pops high but flips so slow I can’t land it) Hardflip but the proper way not thru the legs Back 3 Front 3 Laser flips proper back biggies Nice 3 shuvs with pop and control Bigflips Properly flicked nollie flips

[@daveyosh88]

This is me to a T!

I can't do them either, but I can teach you how to do them 😁 inward heels are fun and look cool in any stance 👍

If I'm ollieing OFF of something like a box or a curb I have a wicked snappy pop and effortless height, but ollieing ONTO or OVER something is like a science I can't master. Now I approach every obstacle like I was ollieing off a cliff and it helps. Brains eh.

[@thehumblepundit9790]

I've only been skating 10 weeks. Never been on a skateboard in my life, and I'm 47. I don't understand any tricks yet...

[@beemelonhead1]

Wow 47 and you're just starting? That's very bold and brave my friend. Props to you! I've been skating for 20yrs since I was 10 and if you want some advice, I'd stay with not worrying about tricks for a long while.. when you're starting out the most important thing is to just skate and get used to your board to improve board control. Instead of driving down the street to the corner store, skate there (that's just one example). Learning to be comfortable and gaining board control is the most important thing before trying Ollieing etc.. I think a lot of people focus too much on tricks in the beginning which leads to discouragement and just looking awkward on a board.. but anyways I'll stop ranting. Keep at it yo if it makes you happy!

[@thehumblepundit9790]

@@beemelonhead1 thanks! Your advice is excellent. Right now, I have a parking lot at a church I go to 3-4 times a week and am still just learning to push myself around. Getting faster and more stable on my board. I go to skate parks too, just to get a different place to hang and am now learning to roll fakie off of small quarter pipes. I'm having so much fun with, I don't really care about tricks. It's great exercise, too.

Yes sir! I was at this skate park while I was in queens for a week, I’m from Florida and I was really hoping too see you at a skatepark, I didn’t.... but you backed me up :)

[@Spookrider100]

As a life long skater and instructor (ok snowboards, but helps with analysis I think) my observation especially on the kickflip FS 360s: work on bigger pop and suck up to land, ie the flip is done by the time youre at the top of your jump comes up to your feet, instead of your feet catching in when its going down . Bigger pop will surely help with the multi flip tricks too? Easier said than done I know...great vids thanks.

[@nieznuts7038]

For me it’s definitely just fixing my heelflips, I recently switched to slip ons because I feel way more in tune with my tricks and the board itself...with the exception of heelflip tricks. Not sure why but those are my weakest right now so for the next week I’m gonna be focusing on heels, varial heels, and fakie front heels to try to get them back again

[@rayvindawkins5304]

I've been trying frontside flips. I didn't really try them until yesterday and I got super close a lot. Eventually I landed it in the same day. I've always been more of heelflip person so front heels came to me in like 4 days. My only problem with fs flips is me flicking to hard or in the wrong spot.

[@Jonathan-ih9sm]

I’m confused by the frontside flip should I do them like a hard flip with a body variable or a kick flip with a 180 degree pivot

Random idea John !! There’s a lot of skating “tutorials” on tik tok so maybe try and do a video about trying to learn from those videos ? Could be a fun challenge ! Love your videos man and can’t wait to pick up that grip

[@larryjimbob]

Was the best "keep killin' it!" yet dude 😂😂😂

[@kc_jones_gaming]

If you unlock the secret of the flat ground hardflip, you will unlock the frontside 360 kickflip. Those were my killer tricks. Try putting your pop foot on the opposite side of the frontside rotation. Like right where the tail meets the flat for that side pressure pop. It will automatically flip the hardflip with the same foot motion in full. Add a 180 and stomp the 2nd 180 for the front 3
