Nice vid bro! I am a 57 yr old with rheumatoid arthritis to boot and had not been in a bowl/pool type park since 1978 ...So last week I got up the courage to go to my local park and mess about and I did a small drop in and wrecked hard "no protective gear" I am going back tomorrow with gear and a board set up just for my old guy frame..lol Anyways thanks the vid will be very helpful!
@@JonBishopSkate absolutely!,and thanks for all your great information,it's a great contribution to the skate community and the older skate crowd in particular... you're an inspiration to a lot of folks.🤘💀🤘 Keep it up
@@LostintheHate definitely isn’t easy when you’re first starting out and try it first the first time, it can be intimidating when you put your tail on the coping and just do it but it’s all mentally, I would say start small before you try a bowl or very but just think of it as you are shifting your body forward and going straight downwards the way the bowl goes down. But that’s what helped me
“It was at that very moment I realized I needed a more considered approach.” 😂😅 …if I had a dollar for every time this was true for my life. Incredibly awesome skill you’ve learned. As for me, I just dropped in yesterday for the first time in a decade. Stoked. Thanks for the inspiration. Blessings and shalom.
When you bailed your upper body was trying to match the angle of the transition but when you made it your upper body was still in a balanced vertical position but your lower body adjusted to the transition.
I'm 45 n just got into surfskating n I'm having a blast I wish I was 30 years younger to enjoy it longer but I'm gonna enjoy it for as long as I can! So far I feel like I'm the only one as I haven't seen anyone else on a surfskate where I live
I'm mid 40's now and those roll in drops are also something I'm working on. I have the skills, but the fear and mind won't let me do it on many ramps. I'll get there, just like you did!
New camera looks great! I started working on these a few days ago (backside) and finally got it. In the past I’d get a couple then hang up and splat on the flat. An overly exaggerated manual was the key for me. Getting that nose high ensures that the back wheels would hit the coping and the extra time to get the nose back down while the wheels cleared, prevented the dreaded hang up.
There's a video on TH-cam where Omar Hassan explains roll-ins, and his technique for doing a small grind on your way in backside is really great for avoiding the risk of hang-up. Now that you have the acid drop roll-in, you've already learned the hardest one and learning backside/frontside/grinding roll-ins should all be easier than this first battle was!
Dude love ur stuff I’m 61 and back into skating and have crashed and burned trying these tricks and trying to do what you say it works I’ve learned to roll in kick turns dropping in now it roll8ng in on coping thanks for firing me up
This guy has so much enthusiasm for skating, and makes me want to work on my Rollins. Only on a about 2ft quarter so far, incredibly informative, helps me appreciate that even the seemingly easy "just commit" trick take a lot of technique! My mate tried it on a 4 - 5ft the day he learned them and cracked his helmet, hopefully this video will help to give him confidence to build back up like you did :)
nice job on the roll in Jon, always nerve racking do this for the first time, I still hang up and always a bit nervy when I attempt these........love your process for learning tricks....
Nice video Uncle Jon, never thought of looking at it as rolling off a curb will have to try it next time. Thank you for the vid, take care and stay safe.
Thanks so much for documenting your experience and providing tips!! I bought t-shirt removable shoulder pads and removable padded shorts for this reason. I'm goofy and I landed hard on my r shoulder and r hip after my trucks got caught 3 TIMES trying to roll in, in one session! Eek!
Thanks Jon for sharing your learning journey and breaking down the trick! Good point with rolling down a curb and I definitively need to practice to make myself/back foot lighter so that the back wheels don't get stuck.
Good stuff. I committed to learning them end of last year. Just need to get the frontside roll-in now. Friends say it's actually the most comfortable once you get them down. With backside being the hardest and many don't do acid drops anymore once they got the frontside roll-in down.
I am incredibly glad I found Jon Bishop's channel. The information and tips he gives are well explained helping me through some interesting challenges, and my motivation has excelled seeing his progress and determination. Big Thumbs Up Jon and Thank You!
Thanks man. I feel ya it gets ruff taking down new moves. Mine was backside axle drops even though it was 4 ft tall hanging up and falling to flat sucks!✌️👍
Being able to roll in would open up my local skate park a lot more,all the younger skaters have no issue with it but I'm terrified of it.....but if you can do it Jon I'll give it a go...great video again mate👍👍
Yeah, that’s the worst, just go fast and hold the manual and it can’t possibly happen. I found making it to the bottom with bent knees and going over the front was the best bail. I only hung up once and that was from too little speed so just didn’t do it again. If you follow the practice steps you’ll be fine, just keep going on kerbs and ledges till you’ve got the acid drop 100% Then try a flat bank and try to get the back wheels to air, then a small mellow quarter etc etc
i roll in at my local park all the time, even did the 5ft for the first time the other day, but there's no coping so it's okay if my trucks clip a bit. coping is so scary. thank you for the tips i want to try to do them with coping now!
Outstanding! It took me plenty of attempts and crashes to learn it in a small bowl some time ago but now I am seriously thinking on trying in a 7feet tall one although it is fu** scarry. What it helped me most was to keep my eyes looking to the wheels at all times to make sure I cleared them (or be ready to jump otherwise). As you said, it is about 80% commitment.
great advice! thank you for illustrating the stages. I did a full commitment mode roll-in (don't think, just go) a month or so ago and fell twice, thought to myself "risk isn't worth the reward," but now I know the stages and will implement a stages, skill-based, calculated approach. Cheers to ya!
great tute Jon! your progression inspires me. I can’t even summon up the courage to drop in yet but ive been practicing on the flat slope ramp to build up my confidence 👍
love the presentation in this dude, absolutley nailed it, crisp, well narrated great story mode from start to finish. I've learnt the roll in slowly without the maunual and the hop, learnt not to get hung up with a tiny nose manual as tail trucks come over coping but still scary. watching this though just raised the bar again. thanks for the how to guide to follow. feel like its time to pad up hahaha
Yeah dude, I found the ‘rock in’ is a good low speed option and I should have included it in this vid. I recently learned the proper Fakey rock, where you nose manual back in and totally clear the back wheels, and I found it’s the same technique for the rock in without the Fakey approach obviously 😂
@@JonBishopSkate to be honest I think you surpassed it, handy stepping stone but watching this almost wish id skipped learning it haha. + sounds like the best way to do it. {fakie Rock} landef frist few feeble drop ins recentley loving the little hop as back trucks clear coping, but favourite thing at the moment is that tiny disconnect and reconnect as the board drops from under your feet then land back on it. must feel awesome rolling in to the ramps properly. :)'=]:
Skillz to pay the billz Jon! now you got that dialled you could try levelling up on you mini by a fly out to manualing to roll in - that's on my to do list
I want to try new stuff so badly but it's a super slow process at 50, self employed and no health insurance 🤣 Even if I think I can do it, my heart just starts pounding.
'Bobby spooner!' Awesome vid. I cant remember when I first learned these, maybe when I was 15 or somethin, 30 years ago. It's a good one to have an then take it to bigger transitions, I think 5ft is my limit tho!
This scares me everytime, after 1 year of doing it I'm still a bit nervous. The progression for me will be doing it with just one push at a snails pace, my friends do it this way on the 3ft, 4ft and 5ft, but they've all been skating since childhood, I started at 48.
@@JonBishopSkate yeah my friends do it at super high speed with several pushes or about 1 metre from the coping with just a small push. I can only dream. I need to approach the coping at the perfect speed, not too fast, not too slow. I'm looking forward to seeing you move this up to bigger quarters, I'm still too scared to go above 3ft, you'll be my motivation for going bigger. I was brave enough to try rocking over the coping (not rolling) on a 5ft today, did it about 20 times but on one of them I got complacent and didn't move my foot fully onto the nose, back trucks hung up and went from high up on the 5ft to flat, it hurt, elbow badly bruised and tender, hip bruised and tender, bloody gash on side of knee, I'm 52 what the hell am I doing? Fun times. Completely happy though as I can now rock in on something higher than 3ft, it's been a goal since I started 4 years ago.
Yeah it’s the falling to the flat that is unpleasant. I managed to get a roll in on the 5 ft after filming this. Sort of a F/S and straight over the top hybrid. The impact was noticeably bigger, I’m hoping that it’s one of those, once you get it dialled in, it’s there for life 😀 that said I still don’t really enjoy the regular drop in.
what park is that one you tried in your first attempt mate...that slightly bowled corner looks killer! love the videos and progression mate keep it comin
been speculating about roll-in for some time, great vid. Where is the park at 2:56 ? there's a similar setup in Folkestone F51 where i learned to drop-in
Jon, awesome & can totally see the logic here, but what about your typical half pipe with minimal roll in space, have you tried? Utter sci-fi terror for me but totally want it.
You're my hero dude!!! I'm 46, been skating on and off for the past 25 years but haven't focused on progression. Now is the time. Thanks for the helpful vids. Quick question. What's your go to set up now for park considering the C5 surfskate truck options that you reviewed earlier?
Hey Dude Many thanks for tuning in. I ride a 9 inch Andy Anderson deck with 159 indys and 58mm wheels. I did a video on setups you might like th-cam.com/video/aKSuM43GaI8/w-d-xo.html
Lovely stuff Jon ,love that you keep pushing yourself. I roll in like I do a kick turn ,always felt more secure doing so (parallel with the coping) Great stuff mate Edit saw that you also did that
Yeah, I explored those also (good for mini ramps with tight platforms) I just got the knack back of going straight over the top. It’s one of those I have to do regularly to keep it up. I Hadn’t attempted it for 5 months as I tore my hamstring, but it all came flooding back today 😂
@@JonBishopSkate ouch , yeah being middle aged (I'm 50) the body takes so long to heal. How's the injury now? Man ,those straight roll ins are scary as hell ,so cool you nailed it ,really ballsy. I've discovered the joy of skating from A to B aot nowadays ,learn how to do a proper Ollie ,really opens up a lot of fun. Keep up the good work mate and hope you'll be injury free from now on
Yeah, it’s one of those that’s ok as long as I do it every session, as soon as I leave it for a bit, I have to go back to square one to build up the confidence. I recently re-visited them on the pool coping. I have to be honest and say it’s one I only start to enjoy about 2 seconds after I successfully complete it 😂
Many thanks for the heads up dude. Been trying out a new app on my usual iphone 11 that I use for all the vids.The app allows you to change the aperture and create the old fuzzy background?
OOOOOH is that shirt from mind control products? Love it. Every day that i ride my 8.4 Andy deck I love it more and more. Getting my 9.13 this Friday. Did you prefer indy 159s for the 9.13?
Sick shredding man Im can roll in on steep banks (non coping ramps) but I’m going to try to do it on actual coping EDIT I got roll in's on a coping ramp lets goooooo
Great one again Jon, THAT’S RRRRIGHT!

Jon, this must be a coincidence or a sign. I’m going to do exactly the same tomorrow. 50 years old and always bottled this trick.
Go for it dude!! Let me know how you get on !
@Matthew Manning not that day. But I can do them up to 4ft now, any higher my arse goes.

When you bailed your upper body was trying to match the angle of the transition but when you made it your upper body was still in a balanced vertical position but your lower body adjusted to the transition.
Yeah, I was overcommitted and going over the front for sure ?!
I definitely find the fs and bs turn ins easier for regulating the clearance of the coping,
Thanks
