UK Skatepark Tour - Duck Lane - Bournemouth

[@BlackMarketHoney]

That pointy hip opposite the deep bowl is right up my alley! Mmmmmm hiiiipps!!!

[@JonBishopSkate]

It’s a cracker, I forgot to say about it, I’ve gone for a Burton many times on that 😂

[@joshuaflippence1635]

The pocket of death!! It's a rites of passage. Shanked my shins on there good and proper too. Great coverage of the duck. What a park

[@JonBishopSkate]

We’ve had a lot of fun there dude 😂

[@cryp3292]

I'm very jealous that you have access to a park like this. Everything is mostly street obstacle oriented where I live. Thanks for the tour!

[@jkm3297]

Wow you're lucky! That park looks so fun!

[@martynrandall7652]

Wow another great spot. Great bit of guitar to sounds like a strat to me cant beat it.

[@JonBishopSkate]

Good ears, a Strat indeed !

[@Markycky]

Soundtrack at the end was sick!

[@JonBishopSkate]

Thanks dude!

[@safeword_dartmouth]

Always enjoy your observations!

[@TrucksandFins]

Awesome bowl!! Just added it to my map. :)

[@primalrockart1520]

nice vid cool bowl looks v challenging🤙

[@markrivers4179]

Duck Lane is a fab place for a skate but also extremely challenging and that deepend is just plain scary! I've loved having a couple of spins round that place and the locals are definitely a great bunch and can seriously skate!

[@JonBishopSkate]

Yeah dude, you did amazing and we had a right hoot !!

[@marc-andrechenier5488]

Jon, your passion is contagious, looks like a great bowl. Def. an history

[@luca715]

Fantastico !! Solo in Italia gli skatepark sono popolati da bimbi con biciclette con e senza pedali e genitori che gli insegnano a infrangere le regole !? Guardare i tuoi video in giro per il mondo, sembra che il mio paese sia davvero il peggiore di tutti. Continua così, buona vita amico...

[@NeilHesterSkateboarding]

Amazing place to have as your training ground mate, So much going on there.

[@jonozero1]

Looks amazing! I need a trip down to Duck Lane.

[@greenthirteen1234]

Looks amazing 🤩

[@marcelboogaard3809]

Nice one Jon. Can’t skate due to having gout so your vid was a welcome relief.

[@JonBishopSkate]

Sorry to hear about the no skate situation dude!

[@marcelboogaard3809]

@@JonBishopSkate yeah it’s a shame cause the weather is glorious. Naproxen will kick in soon so hopefully the swelling goes down.

[@Brusselsproutsk8]

Need to get myself there at some point. Been wanting to for ages.

[@leestammers3832]

Love it, inspired to learn my local bowl

[@oscarcavalcanti1640]

Very good skate park , perfect , what place.

[@elpadre4202]

Bournemouth! My home town during my youth! Ever get over to slades farm skate park? is it still there.

[@JonBishopSkate]

Yeah dude! It’s pretty crusty now, I used to take the surf skate over for a potter round with the big soft wheels 🛞

[@littledevilchris666]

Slades farm used to be amazing as well, that’s a shame!

[@Quickrex]

My god you really pay attention to every little detail. You got good story telling skills too. Enjoying watching your video contents. Bishop I got a questions for you. What type of wheels do you prefer when skating bowls and transition both standard and the carver C5 trucks. I been skating on Surf Rodz with surf keys inserts for some years and actually got a little disappointed when I recently got a set of Carver C5 didn’t feel much of difference in in turning vs leaning except the carver is more challenging riding fakie 🙃 probably have to play around with the wheelbase length and the bushings of the Carvers. I got the Carver CX’s but they are way to high off the ground.

[@JonBishopSkate]

Yeah dude! I like Spitfire 99a formula four in 60mm for the vert ramp, 58mm for the bowl and 55mm for street. My C5 setup has 61mm OJ team riders on and they work a treat also?

[@Quickrex]

@@JonBishopSkate yeah the spitfire you can’t really fault them. I’m on the Oj 57mm 95a Nomads right now and they work a treat but still think the are a bit slower than the spitfire 99a my case the 56mm.

[@jameslowe2979]

Another enjoyable video, nice one Jon. Got a question for you re. Injuries, you seem to take some pretty decent slams but not suffer too badly from injuries? Do you have any good tips on falling properly? My problem is everytime I go down I seem to screw my elbow up.

[@JonBishopSkate]

Hey Dude, yeah I got a bit of a feel for it out of sheer practice 😂 I sort of go limp and try to crumple and spread my weight? I think the yoga, gym and kale 🥬 eating helps too?

[@jameslowe2979]

Good tips, I think not using hands to break fall is also key

[@ezrhino100]

Does Prince Harry skate here?

[@JonBishopSkate]

Na, he’s strictly street only !

[@ezrhino100]

@@JonBishopSkate the delicate ones always are. Our precious little Harry.

[@justspacegoatfarts]

spat coffee everywhere when you said "my ocd made me measure it " , great vids as always

[@JonBishopSkate]

Ha 😂
