Nuance of Jumping with DJ Shipley from GBRS Group

[@shanewilliams02]

Been waiting for y'all to break out the skateboards!

[@jonnyref3475]

OK…so we now need a film on DJ skateboarding!

[@icecreamalacarte]

YES, betting on him skating gaps and sets; at 39, I still see hittable spots and break them down

[@vernongriffith4]

he can definitely still ride, its impressive

[@ballisticintegrity9741]

Great stuff Thanks Vernon!💪🏾

[@vernongriffith4]

Appreciate it!

[@sincenom7569]

Dude I am the same fucking way. Obviously had to stop skating cause i can’t get hurt every other week on active duty but surfing and skating your whole life almost contradicts all athletic queues we’re taught but somehow still works.

[@vernongriffith4]

when that ah-hah moment hit I felt like an idiot when I realized what was happening.

[@russomiranda_official3754]

Jajajaja I just finished watching skateboarding athletes, is unreal.THEY DONT USE THEIR HANDS LOL, listen is all good if you can box jump 31" up without using your hands, dude KEEP DOING IT, 💪💪💪 STAY STRONG BOYS.

Can you talk a bit about footwear? I noticed DJ is wearing what looks like VIVO barefoot style shoes. I got into that about two years ago. I notice a huge difference. Curious about your thoughts.

[@vernongriffith4]

That is a great idea for a video. Thank you for the idea!

[@Danbarnes0311]

Dj skate part coming soon?

[@pearsonedmundo1357]

How much off time for recovery do both of you get

[@vernongriffith4]

we take the weekends off from lifting, still getting in walks and I have introduced some low level aerobic work on the weekends

[@WLRD757]

He still uses his arms. They go out to the side instead of forward during the ollie. Likely so the arms counterbalance one another, as opposed to up and forward for the box jump. Have him do another skate trick and tell me he doesnt look like a graceful bird.

[@BoilerBones03]

No substitute for natural athleticism. Training, technique…all important, but natural ability trumps both.

[@vernongriffith4]

thats the truth!

[@EdwardPetrillo-yh3cw]

Be a better coach Vernon! I’m so disappointed. I’ve increased hundreds of pounds in my main compound lifts in sub 2 years of being on your program. Do better V…… Haters gonna hate😂 context dictates content. Cheers brotha

[@vernongriffith4]

HAHAHA. So proud of your progress bro!

[@EdwardP1776]

Hell yeah likewise man! The tribe is growing🤙🏼
