Learn to Surf Skate Pt5 Bert Slides (Bertlemann Turns on a Carver)

[@andrewpotter3995]

Love the ‘Bert’ slide, absolutely classic 🛹

[@paulbridgman3437]

Sliding is the best! Burt, Power slides/Cess slides, speed checks! Just pure fun. Onya Jon..... love watching you improve.....And you ARE! Your childish enthusiasm is infectious bro. 😉😎🤙

[@mygoldfishdrown5178]

Larry would be proud

[@charlottebishopmusicandyog1164]

This looks ace fun! I need to learn these !!

[@michagardea7253]

Great tutorial as always! Thank you :)

[@BlackMarketHoney]

Dude! Point that other arm to the sky and wiggle that disco finger! 😁 That looks like a great bank spot.

[@FoulworksTV]

Thanks for the enlightenment

[@JonBishopSkate]

Many thanks for tuning in!!

Looks so fun

[@patchleeh5036]

Good summer vibes in this one. 🤙

[@JonBishopSkate]

Nice one dude! Yeah, Lucky with the weather for this one!! It was a belter of a day !!

[@SunriseSessions]

Yess keep those surfskate vids coming!!

[@JonBishopSkate]

Not half, it’s surf skate weather at the mo for sure !!

[@skatterpro]

Your attention to improvement both on and off the board is commendable! Regarding feedback on the audio levels - a suggestion would be to pump up the speech audio in post production, or perhaps just bump the music down slightly! Here, you're not putting much music over the skating, but we all love to hear those wheels screech and trucks grind even when you do! For that super high end spoken word production, look into compressing the audio in whatever editor you're using, the results will be grade A+ for sure! Thanks again!

[@Nandox7]

It would be my favorite trick as well if I Could do it. :D Tried so many times and still no luck, board shoots no sliding.

[@mes2cents]

You're a quick learner and you transmit your knowledge remarkably well! Thanks to your experience, I'm gonna get the Bert slide! You're right! We're back on a surfskate!

[@MarktheLandlockedSurfer]

Nicely done!

[@darrensquibb4817]

U rip! I try & visit my UK reloes in Dorsett every couple of yrs. Next time i come up I’ll bring my Sector 9 & maybe we can hit some bowls. 🤙

[@JonBishopSkate]

Nice one dude !!

[@kerryclarke4497]

Gday Jon. Great Videos mate! I ride an Old School Madrid Retro...Ace 66 trucks and 60mm Powell Rat Bones. They are amazing wheels for power slides..they release perfectly but are still buttery soft for my 40year old knees. I am always on the lookout for similar wheels to Rat bones. What are the wheels you are rocking in this Video as they look similar?.. Cheers from NZ

[@JonBishopSkate]

Hey dude Yeah these are Slimeballs, I think they are called Big Balls 😂 60mm and I think 92 ish duro, they are quite old, I’m not sure you can get them anymore??

[@gnarlycharlie1701]

Hi Jon great Channel. I am from Bournemouth and Kingspark is close to where I live. I have never skateboarded but I have snowboarded. Thinking of getting a Surfskate to ride some bowls. Two bare feet do a Surfskate for £80. Do you think it’s worth getting that one to start?

[@gnarlycharlie1701]

Or would it be worth spending more on a Carver? Any tips would be great 🏄‍♂️ 🙏

[@JonBishopSkate]

Hey dude I recon they all work and are fun!! The Carver has nice bits on !! Never looked into Two Bare Feet?

[@gnarlycharlie1701]

@@JonBishopSkate thanks mate looking forward to starting. I’m 38 so no spring chicken but got some Balance from Snowboarding 🏂. Looking to stay fit whilst having fun so hopefully a Surfskate will help 🙌

[@illustrativetutor]

Great video and love the location for the Bert slides. Props to Larry Bertlemann! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertslide

[@POLPO_WOOD]

Any recommendation for surfskate wheels on the street to make some decent slides but remain grip when needed?

[@JonBishopSkate]

Hey dude I’m using 60mm 90a duro Slimeballs here. I find they work well for grip, speed and sliding?!!

[@POLPO_WOOD]

@@JonBishopSkate Thanks dude, gonne give it a try!

[@darnell_lorenzo7771]

Hey, I noticed you have the Daniel Vargas, welcome effigy board! I’ve been eying that one for a bit. How does it ride?

[@JonBishopSkate]

Hey dude Yeah I really like it! It’s got a shorter Wheelbase so I can run the trucks slightly tighter. I love the Andy Anderson, but they are getting harder to find, so I was on the look out for a more readily available alternative. I’m also feeling ready for something a touch smaller and this is 8.8 as opposed to the Anderson at 9.13??

[@darnell_lorenzo7771]

@@JonBishopSkate Nice! I'll definitely have to pick one up soon! Also, thanks for all of your great content! I've been trying to learn to skate transition and all of your videos have been such a big help!

[@andrewthompsonx]

Thanks for a cracking instalment Jon! Gotta love a good Bert! Great tip with the powerslides warm up, will be trying that.

[@JonBishopSkate]

Yeah man. The Bert is one of my favourites. I should practice them more often for sure!

[@doxmandude8820]

Another good one, thank you sir.

[@JonBishopSkate]

Many thanks for the kind words dude!!

[@Internetuganda]

[@Internetuganda]

Tnks... check out mine also and see how we do it in Africa

[@ronaldoribeiro8798]

Ótimo

[@michaelmlue]

Wicked Man👊 Inspiring.

[@JonBishopSkate]

Many thanks for tuning in dude!!

[@shaundavies314]

These used to be my go to back in the 70’s so I ought to give them a try. Not sure about the surf skate though. I bought one recently after watching one of your other videos and it’s just bloody weird. Feels like it needs to be a foot longer 😄

[@JonBishopSkate]

Nice one dude, yeah the surf skates are a bit different for sure 😂

[@shaundavies314]

@@JonBishopSkate It was a pretty cheap one I bought by Two Bare Feet with their ‘A Frame’ front truck. I’m going to get a 40” longboard and see how it feels on that. Any excuse to buy a new board eh? 🤣

[@middleagedshred]

Got some padded shorts to work on these..and slide gloves just in case.....do you think it best to master powerslides before bert slides?

[@JonBishopSkate]

Hey Dude, many thanks for tuning in. You can just go straight into the Bert practice I recon? The power slide is good to get a feel for how the foot pressures work without having to worry about doing the layback aspect. As soon as you get the feel of pumping up and loading the front foot while looking with the head, you should find both start happening??!

[@middleagedshred]

@@JonBishopSkate yea it,s quite a leap of faith with having to do it with speed.

[@JonBishopSkate]

@@middleagedshred yeah man, I find the getting down low and committing back in creates the fear. Getting down close to the danger really gets the heart pumping 😂

[@middleagedshred]

@@JonBishopSkate Yea man..I,m slowly easing myself into it..next time my hand may even touch the ground...)

[@hughwilla4744]

Your getting bendier! For sure.

[@JonBishopSkate]

Been going for some post skate swimming and stretching. Seems to keep things looser, but this is still far from being the leg set I would order from a catalogue 😂
