The Actual WORST PEOPLE At Skateparks

@@TheOnlySoe not every one is trying to live there best life. I am finding that a lot of people are trying to get away with what every they can. its not about kids skating. its about kids in gangs tormenting others and parents not wanting there own kids around so they dump children at a park full of strangers that could quite easily snatch and molest them. really this shit happens and the parents that allow it to should be f'en shot. if the kids have there parents with them and the parents are taking the time to keep there kids safe in an environment that could quite easily see them brake there necks or someone elses I am all for it. but from what I have seen this is only the minority of cases. to be honest it just seems to me that parents could not give to shits about there kids and there presence there alone an unminded is proof that they are not trying to live there best lives. more like they are trying to forget about there responsibilities and not have to live there life. hell even john has said in a few of his videos who do you belong to too a kid that looks under 8. there is an organisation that was made in my country just for this kind of abuse. its called child protective services.

[@adam_nathan]

I’m 26 and I took up skating during COVID lockdown because I needed to exercise and the gyms were closed (the lockdown in Brisbane, Australia at its worst still allowed people to leave the house to exercise and essential stuff). I started out cruising around a lot before I touched a skate park, mainly because of horror stories like “If you do literally anything that makes you look like a noob people will judge you”. I discovered that, at the skateparks I went to at least, that it just wasn’t true. I made some great friends there and I mentioned how I’d been worried that if I did something like a mall grab people would laugh at me and guess what? A lot of the skaters I talked to didn’t even know what a mall grab was. I think that the skating culture, in America at least, sounds like a much meaner scene than in Australia. That’s not me saying it’s a bad scene, just that it sounds meaner specifically, and I might be wrong about that. Nobody made fun of me for wearing pads at the start, or not being able to do this or that. The worst I got was some people being pushy and trying to get me to drop in from a high ramp before I felt comfortable doing so. Mainly because they wanted me to progress though, so they meant well at least. Maybe I’m wrong about American skate parks, but I’m just letting you know how it sounds from a different perspective since there seems to be a constant discussion about toxic elements of skate parks on skating youtube (which is largely American) that I just haven’t seen present anywhere near the same degree in my city at least. Also there’s an older American guy (by older I mean over 30) at my skate park who constantly talks about how much more freedom to fail he has at Australian parks, like he can try stuff that he might not land and people don’t think less of him for it.

[@moe9097]

I’m from Melbourne and have a very similar story I took up skating during COVID and when I went to skateparks everyone just wanted to help and skaters and scooters got along very well I think it’s an American thing to hate on scooters but I’m not sure

[@cjpccelerity29]

I’ve had the same experience at my local park. We all get along with the scooter kids and to their credit, they’re actually pretty good. I approach people who are skating all the time on the street and never had anything but friendly interactions

[@imosoawesome]

I completely agree, when I started skating my friend got me in to it who is basically a 13 year old prodigy and everyone at the park was supportive and all cheered when I got a pop shuvit for the first time. I have run in to some people who make fun of me for not being good but most of the time everyone is really nice

[@kakimotoK20]

Nah man I’m from Texas and parks are normally chill. I’ve seen douche bags at times, but overall most people don’t care... everyone starts somewhere and we all know skating isn’t easy.

[@blackduckhomestead398]

i think its more the internet skate culture vs real skate culture, they seem to be seperate. ive seen so much bullying online over this and that and its usually just kids 13-17 being dicks online, none of the people that call others posers or diss you for mall grabbing would say shit to skaters in person. ive seen kids being bullys to other kids at parks sometimes but unlike on the internet one stern "hey cut it out kid nobody likes bullys" from anyone over 18 usually stops the bullshit right there lol as a skate dad ive had to do this a few times to scooter kids being dicks to my son but thats about it

thats completely different. people pretend to be "gamers" anymore based JUST on sucking at actual sports. nobody ever applied a bandaid and started declaring themselves a "doctor", nobody professes to be a "chef" because they can make their own poptarts for breakfast, and you dont see people claiming to be marathon runners just because they went jogging once 4 months ago... but play farmville, candy crush, or the sims for 20 minutes one day and all the sudden people think they are "gamers".. youre NOT. these arent people claiming to be pro skaters either, they are just PEOPLE who are skating. to me it sounds more like a "locals only" mentality honestly (all 5 complaints are probably about the same douche), NOT someone trying to come off as more skilled. theres nothing wrong with being a PERSON who plays video games, but you start calling yourself a "gamer" you better be able to throw down on multiple genres and NOT just fortnite or some bullshit. i had better not be able to turn my back to the screen and destroy you at any fighting games (happens more than you may think), beat you at racing games with one hand (..ditto), or land combos worth literally 50 times more than yours.. or you are just a poser. theres no reason to identify AS a "gamer" or "skater" for that matter outside of the professional sphere, just be a person doing something and most people are fine with it, its when you start bullshitting about being a "war hero", "gamer", or "gangster" that you are going to get your card pulled repeatedly because at that point you are LYING to people about what you are.

[@forre09arre]

i would way try to learn some basic transition tricks on small quarterpipes before going for actual flatground tricks. It helps you get very comfortable on your board, and along comes better flow and you eventually gain a better style than some1 who went for flatground tricks right away. The reason you're scared is because you're not comfortable on your board enough. Keep skating, it took me a year to learn kickflips. Remember it's not a competition, and you will get better with time, you just gotta put that work in. BTW, you listen to a lot of peep? I've been listening to peep for about two years now. You gonna have a lotta fun skating.

I've been Longboarding for about a year and boy has it been a rollercoaster. On one hand the Longboarding community has been super supportive which is awesome- but I've also had some bad experiences with skaters. I focused on hand tricks and no complys at first as I had 0 knowledge of regular skating. But the moment I started posting just for the sake of tracking my progress I got a ton of hate just for being on a longboard. It bothered me at first but I kept at it, learned fakie pop shuvits, kickflip, fakie flip, tons of shuvit variations, a few ledge grinds, etc and suddenly the hate went away. I think people should be able to skate whatever they want however they want. So no hate towards the skate community because I've genuinely met some amazing skaters who have inspired me, so don't give up on being the best you I suppose. Cheers 🤙🏾

When I go to skate parks, I am usually the oldest person there and I am not very good at skating (yet). In my case, I usually encounter a few toxic teenagers or people in their early twenties, who laugh at me and act entitled, like they own the park because they can skate better than me. They act like I am taking up space in their universe and I feel that I don't belong there at all until I've passed a proficiency test and received my skaters license. But most other people at skate parks completely ignore me, and I feel utterly invisible. I don't know what feels worse. Is it so difficult for people to smile these days or say hello? I'm not asking to be your friend, but a modicum of friendliness and human decency wouldn't kill them. (Maybe it would.) Basically I feel like I am inhabiting this planet with an alternate species of which I am not a part of. So be it. I'm going to keep skating.

[@ltamha]

Keep skating no matter what others say (as long as it's still healthy for you). I felt the same at my local skatepark every time I went but once I met a cool older guy who was happy to encourage me to try new things. I think younger people look at older people like us like we've no right to be there but skating is for everyone. No matter your skill level, if you're enjoying it then stick with it and keep practicing. I wish you well in your skate journey and I hope you won't let close minded people stop you enjoying it :)!

[@vanguardcycle]

The 'mouth of the south' is our very own Charleston/ Hangar bowl native, Jimmy Leaphart. And while he can seem opinionated and sometimes overwhelming, he's got a heart of gold and means well. And he's in his 50's and still absolutely rips anything over 8'. Being an older skateboarder who grew up skating in the 90s I can totally understand both sides of the coin. In the early / mid-90s we had to fight for everything. Every jock wanted to fist fight us, every cop wanted to arrest us, girls wanted nothing to do with us, all of our friends parents thought we were complete dirtbags and there was pretty much absolutely nothing to skate. so we either had to find natural terrain, or build our own spots. This led to the attitude that if you didn't come help build the spot, donate money or supplies or at least bring beers then you pretty much weren't welcome to skate. This attitude still permeates the sk8 community and was simply born out of the love of protecting skateboarding and the thing that so many of us gave our lives to. That being said if someone at the spot is in the way it's your duty to let them know, but without being a complete dickabout it. Yelling at kids and cool guying them just pushes people away and alienates them. Come to Charleston soon, John.. we've got so much RAD shit going on. DIY spots, multiple backyard bowls and ramps, the city park, mini ramps everywhere and a thriving street sk8 scene.

Loving the vids bro I learned a new trick because of one of your videos😤

[@jackroyal9255]

Damn John hill, I’ve been a huge fan since 2015-2016 timeframe, your one of the first people I watched getting into skating, such great content over the years and when I’m not skating I’m watching your videos and they just make me wanna skate and try new things, such great content

Dude thankyou for clickbaiting me into this. That opening edit is amazing. Really inspirational, great music and so so clean.

[@linkthekid4367]

man i love this guy

[@jobasti98]

just came across your videos.. I like your video style quite a lot! I have a little tip to improve them even further (at least in my opinion): match up the volume of your talking parts and the music under the skating bits. :) Just an idea tho.. do with it whatever you want! And: Thanks for always adding in a story and/or bits of advice and experience! Very helpful and with its own charm^^

It’s been a couple months that I’ve watched a video John. HOLY SMOKES YOU ALWAYS IMPRESS ME

[@ThePoofdiggins]

John is on fire 🔥

[@squejj3568]

I’ve actually experienced this in Texas Waymore than Colorado. When I came to skate in Colorado for a few weeks the older skaters were actually extremely supportive even the older guys got hyped on someone learning their first drop in

What I love that in my life is when John Hill came on my recommendations
