UK Skatepark Tour - XC Hemel Hempstead

[@The508ranger]

Cheers from US mate. It’s all about having fun! 👍🏾

That's a nice park. That kidney bowl looks mean. Well done on your session. Indoor skate parks in NZ aren't really a thing but we need some. Generally they don't stay open if there's ever one opens. Keep shredding fella

[@scottpskating]

Hey Jon, great to see you skating somewhere local to me (Hertfordshire) I'm more of a street skater, but you've made me want to go back to xc this winter for a session or two! Keep up the great work 👍

[@jonozero1]

Love that bowl at XC, good stuff!

[@TheBaller67]

Got to skate that pool in 2016 with Trevor Purser! Loved it!

[@obieplayz5255]

I was there with my son the day you filmed this ❤️

[@JonBishopSkate]

Wicked, it was a fun session !!

[@obieplayz5255]

@@JonBishopSkate I use to ride and teach BMX there until my knee issues, my boy and his mate loved it

[@TheFloridaBikeVlogger]

that waterfall looked super steep!

[@scottiewardle]

owned it Jon

[@danm_journey]

Went here on Sunday with my son, skated the flow bowl for all of 5 minutes, even with conical 97a 56s my board keep sliding out. Slide out on a tight front side carve slammed me on my back, that was enough of that. Tried the pool, a little better but overall still really struggled for grip.

Hey Jon! New subscriber here! I am just back to skateboarding after a few years not riding. I just turned 47 and found your channel after looking at some tips to overcome mind barriers. Great content here!

[@JonBishopSkate]

Great stuff!

[@george_scootz6]

You’re very cool

[@robbeaton]

Wow, that one seems pretty pool-authentic. Have you ever skated an actual empty swimming pool? I’d love to see how your skills translate to a real pool. Still searching for one myself, hopefully I can scratch that one off my list someday soon

[@JonBishopSkate]

Yeah dude, it’s top of my list. I’d imagine it’s night and day in terms of hectic ness and difficulty. That said the coping here is pretty gnarly??!

[@tim.jenkins75]

I spend ages in these large parks.....and mostly I never leave the micro ramps..... should have a note up saying.....for over 40s 🤪

[@anjinsanx44]

Very cool t a ever go there? Or grasso?

[@JonBishopSkate]

Hey Dude, Not sure? It’d be ace if they have!

[@williammadray7818]

UK skate parks are just so much more elaborate than here in America as a general rule.

[@useless_fella]

How long you have been skating?

[@JonBishopSkate]

Hey dude I started from scratch in 2019

[@useless_fella]

@@JonBishopSkate You are an inspiration. I am trying to follow you. I will be glad even if I become 30% as good as you are. I am 37, have been skating a lot since last 4 months. Before that I barely skated. Can do a couple of tricks. I started transition only 4 months ago.

[@JonBishopSkate]

@@useless_fella great, well you have a 10 years advantage cause I’m 48, I would love to have started at 37 !! Good luck with it !!

[@useless_fella]

@@JonBishopSkate Thanks man!! Keep it coming!!
