Overcoming Psychological Barriers, learning basic skateboarding tricks on a Spine Ramp

- In this video I’m learning to do some basic tricks on a scary spine ramp. These include the axle stall, rock to Fakie, tail stall and axle stall transfer. Trying overcome the mental barrier of doing tricks I know in a different, more challenging setting.

You are the Steve Irwin of skateboarding.
Accurate af, the level of energy and enthusiasm he gives off is so similar 😂
keep these coming man, it inspires me to skate harder!!
Nice one dude, will do !
“Plenty of carnage available ...”. Brilliant😂
Ha, dude, the possibility’s are seemingly endless !!
I’m 50. Grew up in Kernow. Live in Amsterdam. Picked up skating again about a year ago I used to skate Crantock bowl as a teenager and helped build the first half pipe in Mount Hawke in the 80’s. Couldn’t believe it when you said where u were skating. Geddon!
Nice one dude, yeah the Newquay park is off the chart as is Mount Hawk. A trip to Cornwall is a proper treat !!
Terrific video. Really explain the biggest challenge…fear.
Stalls are more spooky than the actual grind
You're awesome, Jon!
13:10 - Me: I´m going home, and never will I ever skate again.
Jon: 🔥🔥🔥
Just found your channel 👍
I'm a guitarist who's just got back into skating myself at age 46!!
Quality videos mate, wish you lived nearby.
Thanks for tuning in dude !!
Have to add. Very impressed with what you’re pulling off there. You’re a braver man than I am. I’m still plucking up
Courage to drop in again after 33 years of not doing one. Lol. Subscribed!
Many thanks Dude!!
Jon!! Way to GO Brother! You had me gasping when you had to bail and audibly cheering you on when you landed the stall, stall to front side onto the other side, the rock to fakie and the tail stall. Love the analysis as you progress on the tricks! Keep up the good work and thanks for another awesome video!
Many thanks for the kind words dude!
Respect mate! Your videos push me to stop be a baby.
Good stuff man🤙🏼
Yes my G! Whoooooap! Loving your videos! Gunna go get over my barriers in the bowl today!!
yes, looks scary, we have a 2' spine in the park, very low, but still slammed my ribs on the coping. Good progression!
Wicked, a 2’ spine would be ace!! A bit more manageable, but still tricky !!
@7:28 MY life flashed before my eyes, never mind yours!
Ha!! yeah, pretty Jammy there, could have been a nasty one, I was really surprised when I ended up snuggly on the top! Phew !
Yes mate ! Excellent video you killed that spine for sure
Thanks dude, a bit battered, but it was a fun challenge!
Afternoon Jon,, I've been skating down the pool with you last few mornings,, it's Dave,, fellow musician/surfer/Dad,,the old fool after the tiles,,was great fun and wanted to say thanks for the help,, know you're off home,, our Surfschool is Bluewings in Newquay if you ever want to get in touch for a skate,, keep on keeping on fella, Dave 👍
Nice one Dave, yeah had some wicked morning sessions and was so stoked for you when you took flight that morning and got all those personal NBD’s!! that’s what it’s all about, good luck with the secret practice and I’d love to see the look on walt’s face when you unleash the fury!!
Love the videos and how stoked you are as well! I'm almost 50 and getting back into skateboarding to hang out with my son. Thanks for the tips and stoke!
Many thanks for tuning in dude!
This reminds me of my local park
Nice Jon !! This inspires me to proceed. Also Me and my crew are doing/learning spine tricks in adult lessons at SPU (Skatepark Utrecht - NL)
RulahhRidazz. Peace out ✌🏽
Great to hear !
You are progressing fast Jon, not just your skating, your channel too! 🤙👍
Definitely took some slams but over all did good
Yeah, I recon I got away likely, certainly knocked at the door of some possible nasty ones!!
I really enjoy your videos dude! Thanks a lot. HOoo ;)
Many thanks for tuning in!
Good job! Awesome channal!
Many thanks for tuning in dude !!
Respect to ya Jon - your vids are helping a fellow mid aged skater to progress!
Nice one dude !!
Nice one Jon! Balls of Steel!!!
Legend, thanks for the tips!
What a great work! Very good, important tips.
Many thanks for tuning in dude !
Dude that was next level cheers on the spine transfers they are so scary on a proper spine like that keep it going!
Yeaaahhhhhhh thaattts rigghhhttt!!!!
Love it, keep up the good work 👍👍
Ha! Not arrf !!
Love these videos.... keep them coming 🤘🏻
Your videos, this one in particular, are awesome. The union of candid emotion and analysis is just straight up realz and highly effective. It is this combination I needed to (safely) pull off my first R2Fs this morning at 42 (start of month 5). Thank you!
Brilliant stuff!! Rock to fake at five months is really good going! It took me ages to get my head round the Rock to Fakie? well done dude!!
Excellent video Jon!! I've literally just Jedi mastered the boardstall spine transfer because of your video covering that. Gonna give all this a go next time
Nice one dude, the Jedi level of mastery is definitely the one to gun for!! Great work !
nice bro ,inspiring
Many thanks for tuning in !!
Really nice and interesting videos (i'm an older skater as well, learning to pool skate). And you seem to sail Hobie Cats as well (joyrider tv shirt), haha
Yeah, I worked at Wildwind on and off from 2000 to 2012 and Joe is a good mate of mine !!
@@JonBishopSkate Nice, must've been an awesome job, bit nicer weather than over here in Belgium :-)
Bro love your videos, real inspiration.
Many thanks for tuning in dude !!
You did really good sir! 👏🏼
Many thanks for tuning in !
Nice work on the spine! Just like you I’m middle aged and getting back into skating, and I’m 6-5”. So I can show this to my wife to prove I’m not crazy. Keep it up- like the others mentioned this is inspiring me to push a bit harder.
Yeah man! Go for it!
Another good techniques is to go straight up to it and just push a tail stall right into the spine. It seems harder than it is. It would be like doing a blunt but you keep going forward.
Great!! I was thinking of trying that, but I’d like to get my blunts just a little better first, 3 in ten I miss the lock and scoot across the deck scraping the tail, it’s fine on a deck, but I can only imagine it would be pretty unpleasant on the spine lol !!
Sincerely admire your courage Jon! Some of those attempts looked really risky. I guess I need to start doing spines as well - will start on a very very very small one first. The one you tackled looks frightening. My 10-year old does a 6 foot spine as if it is nothing...
Wicked dude! many thanks for checking in. yeah they are a fascinating obstacle, the more you look at them the more ridiculous it seems to tackle them, but it’s fun when it comes off!!
Love you're videos man real inspiration to me you should check out tired skateboard decks I think you'd like them man
Thanks! Will do dude!
Good memory. How on earth do you remember what you went through on any particular attempt? You're obviously describing the attempts on a different day or session, it's just a big blur for me after the session is finished, even if I filmed it.
Hey dude,
Many thanks for tuning in. Yeah this was all the same session. I started at 5am as this park is super busy and the light changes a lot from 5am till 7am. I did some of the links as I went and then some as group at the end.
Another one that would definitely mess with my mind is go to a nosestall then transfer over via a noseblunt - have only ever got that on a small spine with single coping
That sounds mental!! Great stuff !
Your vids are amazing Jon! What park is this?
Hey dude, many thanks for tuning in! This park is in Newquay
Good vid Jon. Nice to see your community growing. We'll have to get a spine session going at prevail now it's open again?
9:07 I put the kettle on and you were still up there when I got back! Great balance!
Ha, right wimp lol Yeah, first time on the double coping, a bit different to the wood spine. Gonna nip over to ringwood for more practice I recon, they’ve got a slightly smaller concrete spine over there ?!!
I think fear is the main obstacle in most things skateboard..Also having a lack of ability seems to hinder!
You’re killing it, We’ll have you zipping over the spine when you come down!!
Jon Bishop gonna be fun I’m really looking forward to seeing you 👍
Bro, what deck size is that, wheels and trucks (indy 159?) continue rippinnnn
Yeah dude.
It’s the 9” Andy Anderson deck with Indy 159 and 60mm OJ Teamriders !
On the family jewels
Ooosh !!
Hi Jon, loving all the videos. Just subbed :) Quick question, I'm heading down to Lizard/ Mullion area in August and want to know if you could recommend any skateparks nearby? Ideally looking for mellow bowls.
Hi, Not sure as I’ve never been to that bit?? but I’d imagine there will be something !!
Helston skatepark! But don’t think it has a bowl. Mount hawke skatepark has a bowl and a pool but is a little drive from lizard and million.
@@souliscrap thank you
Jon any chance you can do a video on not feeling like a dick when your skating @ 45 in a park full of early twenties and younger? My local was packed tonight and I found it very difficult to not feel a little out of my comfort zone and out of place.🤣🙈
Hey dude, yeah that’s a tricky one. I wouldn’t know where to start with making a video on that lol. If it helps I feel that my experience has been one of inclusion. Today I skated with my four year old son, and pretty much every age group in between topped off by an OG over 50s skater. My experience is skaters will give you respect for riding and pushing your limits wherever level those limits may be?? I hope that helps ??
Longer story Jon than the bit above but basically my two boys, one skater one scooter rider started scapping over the scooter in front of the whole park. It got a bit embarrassing to say the least especially when I lost my cool and swore at them both🤯 probably the first time ever I have swore at the directly😪. Just made me feel i maybe too old to get starting skating again🤣
Tighten your truck a bit more. Be the board, Jon. Be the board.
🔥🔥
Have you been to whiteparish skatepark near salisbury? Just wondering as it’s my local park and I’d like to see what you could pull off there
Hey dude, I haven’t had the pleasure as yet unfortunately. Many thanks for the heads up, I’ll add it to the list !!
How long you had the Anderson deck? Like hen's teeth these days!
Hey Tom, I got it when they came out, yeah they keep selling out straight away, I really like the board, I’ve got a second as a backup, but I hope they release another batch, perhaps there is a new graphic on the way?
Go for a blunt transfer!
Crikey!! That would be pretty full on !! I recon I know how that would go lol
Jon Bishop yeh that is a good suggestion you just need enough speed so you can lock you tail into the blunt and put your weight forward to transfer over it is pretty much dropping in then - never done it on double coping so that may be the only complication
Yeah it’s a great idea! Just nibble up to it, the worst would be going too far up I recon ? I sometimes slide out onto the deck on my blunts, which is not too much of an issue with a deck, but it could be pretty uncomfortable to do that on the spine?? I need more practice to get confident that I could nail it !!
Start by coming up to blunt on a part with the platform at the top.
Once you have that take it to the spine.
You'll learn it in an hour it's easy.
My boys are nine and learnt it in a half hour.
man, F that!
