Being someone who stopped watching your videos for a good while, I really think these longer form videos are a step forward for you as a creator. I'm honestly sick of you catching so much slack within the skateboarding community, these new videos are putting some respect on your name and I think its extremely admirable for you to make such a content shift.

[@bradshuby]

The longer videos are so dope! Knowing that you are enjoying and documenting this time will be so rewarding later on to look back at and enjoy all over again!

[@surfntrucks]

John Hill, I hope you see this and take the advice. You are aware that things are not as safe as they used to be. Go with that gut feeling and never feel bad about it. Also, record on an old camera. It could be a Sony a7S with the cheapest 24mm or 50mm lens. 1080p video is fine since most of your audience is watching at 720p or 1080p. You can upscale to 4k. Do not bring anything that you're not afraid to lose with you. An old iPhone that you're not worried about it getting stolen. Also, use an old iPhone as your backup phone. If it gets stolen, fine, you have iCloud you can get the settings back. Cheap cameras with good quality and unlimited record time, 1080p is fine. upscale to 4k. Stay safe man, I completely understand where you're coming from and do not feel bad. Your gut is usually right and don't apologize for it. You only get one chance.

That dude standin around was sketch af

[@JohnHill]

yeah i've been skating for 22 years, i understand the vibes and how to navigate them. preciate the advice though 👊

[@themoog924]

Would noticing a pattern about these sketchy incidents I keep seeing in skate videos be racist?

[@user-th7on3jc5l]

Do not adapt

[@josiahamaze]

Booo, why not just quit and stay inside all the time?

[@jeffmanna4199]

John Hill back with another 45 minute banger LETSS GOO🔥

[@DWBsk8s]

I’m loving these long videos! You always have some good and eye opening stuff to say I really enjoy the skating and the talking it feels so relatable 🙏

[@sethusk]

As an introvert, I love these vlogs so much. I think when I watch videos I (falsely) feel like I'm friends with whoever I'm watching. These vlogs just seem like we all get to hang out with you even more. That's sounds worse than I mean it too, but it's super fun is all I'm saying. Keep killin' it!

[@VortexFTW123]

the term is "parasocial"

[@sethusk]

@@VortexFTW123Thank you, that's exactly it. TIL.

[@ian.barton.]

I appreciate been struggling with time management but I do need to accept choosing a friend for a day becomes that day this was some insight I really needed I appreciate you my man!

[@antonywood3253]

I enjoyed this video so much John! These raw videos are definitely my favourite from you! Glad you had a great time with your brother

[@greengonzonz]

Yes, love to see the Fam. We can tell you love having the bro around.

[@junkulerr]

These longer videos are so good man, also it was great meeting you the other day at westchester it was so cool talking to you!

[@chaos9533]

Love the long form vids man, shits been helping me out that’s Fs

[@nofxorbust]

Had to put my two cents in too John - LOVE these new video's. The format is so vicarious. Thanks John, respect from the UK.

[@jonathanyoungblood8676]

Omg bro you’re a savage I can’t believe you knocked that tail slide biggie out . Those switch front and backside flips where beautiful definitely a solid sesh with some mangers 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@ryanmclean2394]

Yo! I’ve been watching since 2016 or something and seldom comment, but I just wanted to let you know that these longer, life-vlog videos have been great. Keep it up! (Skate DC one weekend, feel like I never see that!)

[@clottedcream164]

the way that you talk to yourself while youre skating is so relatable, im the exact same way, gotta constantly remind myself to no be so hard on myself, you wouldnt tell your friend they suck, so why say it about yourself

[@DLivingston]

These long videos are too good. Put this on and go through my 2000 images from basketball. Such a vibe. Also, seeing your progression is sick.

[@hellaflushhonda]

The fact that you recorded your 10 bails back to back on that stair is awesome lol really shows the grind 🔥🔥

[@_tokii__]

Really loving these long videos

[@alpoLand]

Guess we know why no one goes to that park anymore lol. Stay safe brother!!

[@hidlow]

Hey John I don’t know if you’ll see this but I just would love to say I am loving these new videos and I love the long videos so much because as someone who loves commentary and vlog ish type videos and my favorite- skateboarding it’s truly a match made in heaven so keep it up man I am loving these killer videos. ❤🙏

[@justinleviner464]

I LOVE the vlogs dude, keep it up!

[@kakigaijin]

loved this episode bro, keep it up

[@user-ke1mh5ml9h]

this was sick love this new style was a bit long and i didnt watch the whole thing but it was definitely fun to watch like a edited live stream

[@red_rose_redemption]

good seeing you and your bro spar and explore!

[@LuckyBunz]

Been really enjoying the longer form content

[@midnightcs1482]

love the vids so far!

[@patrickpetrelli535]

"This sucks. I do not like this environment" Lmao

[@Honeybadger-le1zr]

Thank you John.

[@Sketchyskateboards2007]

Damn this videos long. It’s finna be a banger I Alr know

[@tutrlespam]

The insanity quote is actually "the definition of insanity is doing the exact same thing over and over again and expecting different results" The beauty of skating is that it is so close to that but you always make minor adjustments

[@daniel_yeager]

Skatepark is underrated the obstacles are pretty perfect

[@stefanomulas9461]

Beautiful that you are training with your brother , i love martial arts

[@coopermaddox4494]

Yo John just love this style of video the miced is amazing

[@Kogre.]

love your vids bro

[@FishnFlipsATL]

Great vid John! 🛹🙏

[@breyes6996]

18:56 “ EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHH 🏆💯

[@JoeyC4D]

bro in the white shirt was so happy to watch you skate I love seeing the background people get hyped for you

[@Perseus07av]

Definitely need to find out where this park is. I would rather skate a flat rail, as I've never touched a ledge before. Keep shredding in whatever you put your hand to John. Always appreciate the content. Also, if you ever needed some to help set up a meet and greet at one of the parks, i'm more than happy to help!🤙😂

[@DanielRuizVideos]

The vlogs are dope!!!

[@beanguru6838]

I'm willing to be that creepy dude lurking around the park is the sole reason why no one goes there lol.

[@seniknine]

Holy shit, that park is so nice! You should start showing the full parks you visit for us outta towners. Lol but, the hubba's, the square handrails, the big 3 in the center; California is the perfect place to develop as a skater. I see why everyone moves out there.

[@wingfieldoutdoors3200]

congrats on the baby

[@10flores10]

I love to see the brother bonding

[@SwitchFBproductions]

you guys make boxing look fun!

[@quinnwatterson4145]

I've not skated in nearly a year just cuz of life and UK weather getting in the way. These longer format videos are juicing me bro! I got get back out there.

[@ericmcgowan06]

shoutout to David at Bluetile! best dude best shop

[@shaun8062]

This is my favorite video of yours so far.

[@Dave3rdEyeArt]

Im pretty sure you're about to get a big box of boards. You Just had a new board come out! Rad Graphic!!! Super Sick!

[@chriskelly6019]

John you got no reason to apologize for the weirdos lurking at the park, you got expensive equipment on you and your literally doing your job. People be weird don’t apologize for feeling uncomfortable. Dudes probably on drugs

[@pepesucks9271]

that throw down is sick

[@staytuned8736]

man hearing ur raw mind in this video made me like u even more ur a real ass dude

[@michaeldavis3913]

I don't really skate much anymore but I've been trying to get back into it for my kid. But I'm a vibe skater, I get hyped up and feed off the energy of those around me. Same with my raps. I don't really rap anymore, but put me in a room filled with rappers and it's gonna happen. 😂

[@stevenjutras2701]

NEVER thought I'd see you put on boxing gloves on this channel!!! I love how you don't just keep on skateboarding as much as I love your skateboarding! ❤💯🤘

[@Fly3vr]

Nice vid man😊

[@richardturner8215]

Switch frontside bails were my favorite part, lol.

[@mikemulrooney4574]

Love watching you and your bro!! I think he needs to reciprocate and do some par core or skate with you!!

[@1800papa_trick]

John I just want to say thank you for the long videos. I need these to help me sleep ❤️ dealing with something that requires me to be in bed

[@glancevincent]

Really enjoying it, from an international perspective it's nice seeing vlogs. Takes me into a different country its just interesting because its different to my own life. I think streaming services provide "entertainment".

[@kermster]

i enjoy how it feels like u took off the filter of extensive cutting to fit into a typical 10-20. feels more raw idfk what raw means but ya feel me

[@MichaelBullins]

When I clicked like it went from 1.5 to 1.6 so that was cool haha. Love your content John!

[@mkvader1165]

bob ross of skateboarding

[@Simon0103]

I love the "F*CK" compilations

[@alfredellis8549]

Its wild how much cardio boxing is. Makes skating feel like childs play frfr.

[@joes.4149]

Dope John. In little Tokyo.

[@ryanrowe1975]

Buttery

[@BenaiahArt]

When you didnt put new wheels on I was thinking dont his wheels have flat spots? then you started skating and mentioned it. Long vlogs help you get to know a person lolol love em.

[@Alex2sick]

No one really skates 41st is because of the gangs out there but it shouldn’t be an issue

[@LevelUpDaily434]

It's better to have longer videos, most people are multitasking anyway so the longer the vid the less I have to attend my phone. Plus you're always good money to listen to bro, even better watching you skate for real

[@jonathanyoungblood8676]

And bro Matt gots some skills like for real man got some hands

[@linfois1771]

I went to Dallas fw area and every park I went to was a extremely comfortable, watching these long videos makes me realize how sketchy some of these parks you go to are

[@williamvillanueva1540]

Valley skatepark(Burbank ) . Transition park , show up before 3 and hope the fence because they charge and require helmet to skate .

[@mike6207]

14:16 🧈

[@wyajoejoe]

me every time john posts: 😏

[@MarkFunJones]

As a longtime viewer, I like the longer format. Also, where you jabbed yourself in the eye with your thumb, it looked like that should become a KZbin short just my thoughts keep killing it.

[@kack7130]

u make tricks look so easy. backside tail slide is really hard

[@zdedesigns_gliders]

Nice line about skating contradicting the popular saying "repeating and expecting different results is insanity".

[@blanesowen]

Noooo I knew it was gonna be Voodoo Doughnut too. I worked for them for a period of time doing social media and they’re such good doughnuts but such awful people that run that place.

[@jasminexk]

Do you still sell the green progress daily boards?

[@qahiko_]

bro i love that book store in little tokyo , i got a bunch of legend of zelda manga from there

[@Ernie_Creates]

What mic are you using for these videos?

[@CamBrowne]

the boxing section was so fun to watch.

[@Dave3rdEyeArt]

Switch backsideflip was so nice

[@rataatata]

Duuude I miss Brodie Penrod so much! I use to skate with him out in UT

[@aaronvicente5028]

*YES*

[@CognitiveDissident.]

That's not the definition of insanity, it's the definition of persistence.

[@michaeldavis3913]

Yo, also, Rosetta Stone. I hear it's really easy to learn another language with it. Also Babel is another way to learn another language. I was thinking about learning Spanish being in AZ, it would be super helpful. I just wish I had paid attention back in Spanish class, but my teacher was way too hot to be a teacher and well, I didn't learn much. Lol😅

[@Dannyssb]

This is my local skate park been coming here for years it’s the best skate park to me 🙌🏼

[@joes.4149]

Americana! Lol trip that John hill is there

[@BINGOBALL111222]

Hey John what pants are you wearing at 9:30? I need some new ones and yours look cool

[@ca1gz]

I always think that when your trucks stick with anything its maybe because the metals are still roughed out and grip to each other and when you repeatedly do a trick it smooths out and becomes slick

[@STXi]

I'm loving the new longer vlogs, and seeing this side of John!

[@Sk8Comeback]

I feel you that was sketch… sometimes I don’t care if people are weird and stare or get too close but sometimes it just makes me leave… also just wanted to say I’ve got a little 3 year old and yes you will struggle with time but you’ll still manage mate! Inevitably I’ll look forward to the moaning about time videos in the future 😆 but mate… you’ll need skating even more when she’s here! Getting out for an hour or two when you can will give you the mental break you need. You’ll go home feeling better than you left and that will only make you a better father 👊

[@blubberb3rnd]

When i became a father, i also unintentionally stopped skateing due to lack of time. My mental health went south over the last few years and last year i was diagnosed with double depression (it was a long journey to realize that something is off). But today, 10 years later, i grabbed my board again. Somehow my skateboarding-mindset never disappeared. I still see spots around me, feel the excitement in my guts while watching skate videos. At first it felt weird. After so many years and i had to overcome the feeling that i am too old for skateboarding (I'm now 35), but now i think it was one of the best decisions i've made. My depression symptoms are getting better and somehow it feels like that skateboarding is the missing puzzle piece for my mental health. Also my son (6y) wants to learn to skate, which makes me pretty happy and proud and I look forward to share this world with him.

[@Sk8Comeback]

@@blubberb3rnd mate ❤️

[@BAM.33]

My og Progress Daily socks are finally getting holes. I know you haven't done socks or things in a bit but I would love to buy more
