UK Skatepark Tour 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Aberdeen (TX) - Transition Extreme

In this video I'm in sunny Aberdeen checking out TX skatepark. The facilities here are extraordinary and the 10ft bowl stretched my skills to the limit.

Mate I am massively impressed with how well you took to that bowl - that’s the closest indoor to me and that thing is INTIMIDATING. I’ve not even dropped in the deep end yet, got a wee back slash and that’s it. You’ve inspired me to pony up next time I’m there 👊🏼

[@JonBishopSkate]

Yeah dude, it’s proper scary, one of the most mental waterfalls I’ve ever skated ??

[@ottoball9372]

As someone who has grown up with TX as my go to local skatepark i can confirm just how scary that bowl is in person, mad respect for going straight at it 🤘 (ps my pfp is a really old photo from on the mini ramp you warmed up on)

[@tim.jenkins75]

not just me that marvels at the craftsmanship and engineering in the woodwork at skateparks then.... :)

[@namesurname8423]

Maaaaan! that was sick bowl!

[@JonBishopSkate]

It’s blimmin’ ace that one!

[@megaflux7144]

wow that place is beautiful!

[@user-ps2om6jr1h]

Cant believe I missed you at TX, would have come along for a skate! Hope you enjoyed TX!

[@JonBishopSkate]

It was ace 👍

[@anjinsanx44]

Love to go here

[@goofyfootgreg]

Amazing work they did to construct that park 🤯

[@TheTeaLordRBLX]

my family lives there and i might be visiting there soon. might bring my skateboard and try out this park!

[@JonBishopSkate]

Yeah dude, do it !!

[@markpolitowicz5295]

Wow! Nice rock-fakie to fakie carve! I'm still a little sketchy riding fakie. But I'm almost 60 now and couldn't ride fakie at all when I was 18.

[@winstonloh1051]

Impressive bowl riding, looks massive!

[@babelnow]

looks amazing

[@davidtrindade1858]

Love it dude. Your skating is so good, that bowl looked awesome and very scary. Would love to try some of that. 🤙🏼

[@Brusselsproutsk8]

Looks like a really well built park. Looks like a park with good flow too.

[@clarkkidny4213]

John I love watching you skateboard, I definitely sense you amassing a very large following in the future. Who is he doing what are you doing, I will definitely keep watching! KZbin unsubscribed me from you about a month ago by the way >:(

[@JonBishopSkate]

Many thanks for tuning in dude!

[@morphosis7655]

Nice bowl!

[@skater_scott]

Awesome brother!

[@GREGORonetwo]

Get into loading bay in Glasgow! Bowl there is a beauty

[@JonBishopSkate]

Yeah dude, I’ve been lucky to have a few goes at the loading bay, flows so nice 👌

[@lordsofdadtown2290]

Great vid again Jon. Great to see the home park getting some exposure. I find the big bowl here a bit more daunting than the Xpark big bowl. Think its just more enclosed and the waterfall is steeper. You find them much different?

[@JonBishopSkate]

Yeah, white knuckle for both, the shallow is easier at TX for me, but the waterfall is mental 😂 Both challenging, Love them both !

[@marcelboogaard3809]

Hi, my name is Jon Bishop and I’m clocking up air miles like no one’s business 😂

[@JonBishopSkate]

Ha ha !

[@blackisleskateboarding3716]

You need to come to inverness skatepark, one of the biggest concrete skatepark in scotland, even has a big nessie you can skate

[@JonBishopSkate]

Wicked, I like the sound of skating the Nessie !!!

[@blackisleskateboarding3716]

@@JonBishopSkate It basically starts at a drop in leading up to about a 7ft roll in the to a 5ft roll the to a massive vert type thing with the nessies head on it which is about 12ft, the bowls good aswell got a deep end and some bits without coping.

[@lordsofdadtown2290]

@@blackisleskateboarding3716 I love Inverness park, what an absolute gem it is! Always try to hit it when were home. The roll into and air the fun box takes some big boy pants :)

[@Trails_trout_surf]

sick bowl wish i could shred it rn

[@richyrichhopkins8214]

Looks awesome Jon! *by the way, I know that time is ticking on but are you no longer a “middle aged guy, learning how to skate” anymore? 😉

[@JonBishopSkate]

Ha, I’ve reserved that sign off for the vids where I learn a new trick. For the skate park tours it seems a little redundant. I’m 48 so out of interest, how long can I cling on to the middle aged tag do you recon ??

[@armchairproductions]

@@JonBishopSkate I'm 55 and skate 4 times a week at least. I'm still clinging to it.

[@miniramptricks1986]

Still progressing i see. Funny to think you're be hitting your skateboarding prime at about 50. Good job bro

[@JonBishopSkate]

Ha ha, you are probably right, there is a guy in his mid 50s at my local park, and he is continually progressing and skates to a high standard.

[@damonmcdougald2439]

These videos are awesome, thank you for producing them. How often do you skate per week and how long are your sessions?

[@JonBishopSkate]

Hey dude My sessions are usually around 90mins, I’d say I skate 4 to 5 times a week on average?

[@jameslowe2979]

Great vid Jon, just wondering if you or anyone else knows how they construct those bowls? Do they just eyeball the sheets of ply when they fit them to the transition or are computers involved? Just wondering

[@JonBishopSkate]

Good question, I have no idea, but it’s impressive to see, the transitions are fairly straightforward, but the bowl corners and hips must be tricky ?

[@jameslowe2979]

@@JonBishopSkate yeah definitely, how they get a fairly stiff bit of flat ply to fit perfectly into those curves without gaps is impressive

[@kieranbirch7622]

when are u posting the lsten vid

[@JonBishopSkate]

Hey dude This weekend with any luck !!
