The Dangers Of Street Skating Alone

[@theshredquest]

Dude... fully committing to a 360 flip on a small rock like you did at 3:14 holy moly that is scary lol. Props and much love keep up the videos

[@Faceplanttt]

Your reaction to that guy is what I'm striving towards - you have no enemies my friend ❤

[@r0binIsntAmish1669]

I remember growing up skating & stuff. I feel like I had this one friend who tried stuff he was never ever going to land bc he wasn’t as good as he thought he was. And I was a filmer so for me it was pretty frustrating back then. Especially with having tapes and everything. I wish I had friends like you & your skill level growing up. You have such a good attitude too with skating. The ppl I knew thought they were better than everyone all the time. It was weird.

[@TuckerPearce]

11:10 hell of a landing John. Interesting how every building seems to have security to run skateboarders off, it’s a shame. Also sad to see the homelessness but it’s a reality until this country addresses mental health and other issues. Great video!

[@shinywalrus8856]

I love your style. I prefer smooth skating over crazy flip tricks and big air. It is just so smooth and satisfying

[@Shmancyfancy536]

Style > stunts

[@larsfinlay7325]

my Texas family members got really defensive when I informed them that Dallas was a dump. I'm not surprised you were sketched out. you need to roll around strapped if you're gonna go filming there. it's an open carry state. I know it seems extreme but so many people there are either packing heat or are mentally unwell. .380 is a good self defense caliber. one love

[@mikeberrios1859]

The downtown/plaza footage is so much more appealing than the skatepark stuff

[@williammadray7818]

In a lot of those Urban environments, the people don't see a skateboarder, they see an opportunity.

[@apchaghi2979]

0:06 bro i like how jhon is so calm john could f that man up but decided to not respect💪

[@michaeldavis3913]

I enjoy watching your videos. And that Nollie flip felt so good because it was absolutely perfect. Everything about it was textbook. Good stuff!

[@GemRollemProductions207]

I hate that one of the hardest parts of skating is dealing with other people, great video!

[@skizzarz]

0:11 beautifully candid

[@souzsifu]

that fakie flip at the last stair set was mad enjoyable to see

[@WolfKrime33]

Been a fan since the glass wheels video. Good to come back and see you're still bringing quality skateboarding content years later. Much love and respect john.

[@GeoffGorman08]

The white building (w/ stairs) on the left side in the shot at 2:17 is the former Dallas City Hall/Police Headquarters. It was in the basement of that building where Jack Ruby murdered Lee Harvey Oswald as he was being escorted to an armored vehicle for transportation to the county jail, two days after Oswald was accused of the assassination of President JFK.

[@battleboard9185]

Hi! You handled the aggressor perfectly! You skillfully avoided confrontation and prevented violence! That's a real win! This is what noble people do. Be healthy and God bless you!

[@ZackDowdy]

Always wanted to skate that spot, I'll come fix it!

[@spun8389]

Yea man I always tell myself life has already sorted us out to a degree so if someone gets to me I think they probably have their own issues and usually end up just moving on quickly sometimes I get caught up as we do but for the most part it helps to keep me positive

[@naturesglamour2337]

You have no idea how much it messes with my head to see you skate that six stair with that arch, I was visiting Dallas just a month ago to see my girlfriend and I took a picture there, crazy seeing it in one of your videos, love your stuff man

[@ryancorry8619]

Bro this brought back so many memories of skating downtown with the homies. We used to go to Eisenbergs skatepark in plano and take the train downtown and skate there all day while our parents thought we were at Eisenbergs!

[@libraofdeath]

man i been on a binge watching skate videos because its been raining almost for 2 weeks now here in Maine and hasnt been dry when im not working

[@fastbreak0822]

[@Rare_Skele]

I always used to prefer street skating even with friends but as an adult alone I’m always worried about getting bothered or charged/a ticket. Luckily there’s a good small park in my area but prefer to go when it’s empty since most there are teens with bmx or scooter kids. Back in another city when younger I was encouraged & taught to go down big ramps by an older skater tho

[@clayscloset2618]

I’ve watched a couple of your videos since I drove you home from DFW the other night. When you told me your channel and I looked and saw how big it is, blew me away and is cool to have met a normal guy but who is that popular! Now I just need you to teach a 50 year old how to skateboard haha

[@SO-ym3zs]

Word to the wise re: your interaction with the guy trying to get a light: Don't let sympathy, generosity, or a sense of nobility get you in trouble. Don't ever get within arm's reach of a stranger in a situation like that. Homelessness, crime, drugs, mental illness, and violence can swirl together in a sad, ugly stew, especially in city centers, and you can find yourself robbed or attacked in a heartbeat.

[@tylerrudd5461]

It’s sad that people can’t just leave others alone in big cities. I live outside STL and not only will I not skate the city anymore, I won’t even go there to eat, festivals or ball games. To sketchy, easily robbed or worse.

[@steelokey]

Those tricks down that 6 was insane bro 😮 you’re wild

[@adamcisneros9702]

I had personal experience with this and talked to a few cops about that. Yes it’s a nice way to say stop. Not only that but when is was driving I was going a bit fast but because I was aware of surroundings I moved over but noticed the cop was still in the left lane just behind me watching but I stayed under the limit and they passed me later.

[@steelokey]

Bout to go skate by myself in downtown haha, appreciate this. 🎉

[@TimmySCVM]

That may be one of the best sw fs flips I’ve ever seen. So dope.

[@markymarkthemag]

A similar thing happened to bridge spot in DC, dope DIY ramps under a bridge 10-15 years ago, homeless encampment now. Sad to lose an awesome DIY skate spot like that, obviously even sadder that homelessness is even a thing of course.

[@businessrips]

I feel this hard, I was in San Antonio filming at a ledge by the river and somebody grabbed my cell phone and took off on a bicycle and I had to grab the camera, skate full speed after him and physically confront the dude to get my phone.

[@oochiewallie93]

Come to San Angelo, there’s a lot of spots that are not touched and has a lot of potential

[@ace4evr]

Dude I had the shittiest session today, it was like I forgot how to kickflip or something. I landed only a handful, I was high key bummed. Watching your vids always helps me feel better though, very humbel and professional. Switch is the devil though, I refuse to touch it lol

Filming ourselves while skating, doesn't feel as alone though, somehow. But skating alone without filming takes a lot of motivation I find.

[@JohnAvillaHerpetocultural]

If the cops don’t say anything I skate until they do. You’re style of dealing with people is great. Stay mellow and de escalate. Good strategy. That said you should do like me and be prepared for anything just in case. Train practical martial arts to the point that only another trained fighter or a very lucky punch is going to be a problem. Then do whatever you need to do in your state to be able to carry a weapon, get trained and carry everywhere. You already do in a way but the fact is that a skateboard is actually a terrible weapon for a number of reasons. I think you said you were in Texas? All you need there (and most states actually) is to attain the age of 18 and have a clean record. It can be a pain to skate with a weapon but with a compact and the right holster it can be done. It’s one of the few cases where an Urban Carry Holster makes sense. Even a basic kydex holster is doable. I’ve skated that way with no issues. I still prefer a group but If I have no one to skate with I still skate where I want.
