Thank you Jonny!!💙 This video is amazing and honored!! There are people all over the world who need you! But, I hope the day comes when your town's skate park will be filled with kids!! And I hope the smiles never stop!
@@StepsWayWell meant of course, but I am not sure if you ever had serious/chronic pain. A sport where you jump around on concrete and even ramps and stairs is for "young" and painless people. It is not all about the mindset. "Just go out and skate anyway" doesn`t work, when your body is trying to tell you something with its pain. I got a friend from back in the days who can`t even push anymore because his hip is so fucked up. Nevertheless...hope you stay healthy and "skateable".
@@StepsWay I've been skating a a few times I last maybe ten minutes. What's crazy is it wasn't skating that took out my knees. Jumping on a trampoline for about 5 hours straight did it. My nephew bday party 🥳 I probably need surgery to repair my meniscus but I'm not sure I haven't been to a doctor..
I was in the same boat brother. Knees and foot are so jacked it’s hard to walk after my normal workday. But my son got into skateboarding this last summer so I started rolling around the park with him. I will never stop again. The pains there anyway. But I found that I don’t notice the pain when I’m having fun on the board. Low impact, just riding around, carving, little mannys, little slash grinds. Still forces me to smile. When the soul is happy, the body’s pain decreases.
I wish this type of motivation exist in my childhood. I remember when i learned, was running behind the adults skaters who dont wanted to teach me. Was very frustating, but in the end, they accept me in the group and gave me some respect.
There used to be a lot of gatekeeping in skateboarding. The difficulty and pain involved in skateboarding is enough of a gatekeeper, we don't need the skaters doing it as well. Too many people attach their specific identity to skateboarding. Skateboarding can be a part of your identity but there's no one specific skater personality. Skating brings many personalities and different backgrounds of people together. Skateboarding used to get a lot of hate in the 90s when I started skating so I could see why some closed-minded people who bore the brunt of that hate would want to keep people out. They identified with a particular way of dressing, music, counter culture attitude, etc. This gets diluted the more people skate. Fortunately as skateboarding matured we got teachers like Johnny.
Lovely video! Really great seeing so much early interest in skating! I'm 35 now and don't skate except on the odd occasion a couple times a year or less, so I find myself watching skate content to live vicariously through and this was just really heartwarming. Brings me back to when I was a kid watching Mullen videos and trying to rip my old Darkstar board in the front of the old house with my friends.
Here's a comment of tips I wrote for beginning skaters a while back, hope you find something useful in it. 0) This might seem obvious, but I see a lot of people doing this wrong and it'll really hold you back. Push with your front foot on the board, not your back foot. To determine what your front foot is : Stand on the board on carpet or grass, first with your left foot forward ("regular stance") and then with your right foot forward ("goofy stance"). Step on and off the board a few times with your feet facing sideways, twist your body to face forward and see which way is more comfortable, that way is your stance. 1) Practice jumping off your board while it's rolling and slightly pushing the board backwards, so that it stops. That way, if you have to jump off, the board doesn't shoot forward into traffic or people. This makes it safer for everyone if you skate on the sidewalk, which I recommend doing at first. 2) If you get going too fast on a slope, jumping off sooner is way better than jumping off later. Even if the board does shoot forward into traffic (see 1) it's only a board, and you're a human being made of meat and bones. 3) Practice rolling forward and dragging your back foot, flat on the ground (don't point your toe) to slow down/stop. Yes, this grinds down the sole of your shoe, but the sole of your shoe is infinitely less important (and better to grind down!) than your human body. 4) Practice stepping off and putting your front foot on the tail and grabbing the nose of the board in a smooth single step forward. Also stepping on by grabbing the nose and stepping on the board with your front foot near the front bolts. Both will pay off mega dividends over time, because picking up and putting down one's board is something one does constantly as a skater. 5) If you see a crack or pebble coming up on the sidewalk, push your back foot down on the kick tail to LIFT UP THE FRONT WHEELS over it. Hitting a crack with your front wheels is multiple times more likely to make you fall than hitting a crack with your back wheels, because physics. 6) Speaking of falling, you *will* fall at least a few times in the first year of skateboarding. It's important to not get discouraged when you do, because you will fall more per skate-mile in the first year than at any other time in your life as a skateboarder. Don't assume that's how much you will fall for the rest of your skatelife. 7) Wear a helmet if you're planning to skate anywhere but very flat ground. 8) Use rubber soled sneakers which allow your full foot to flex. Good luck, and welcome to the skate family! 🛹🤘🤙 PS - Feel free to ask if you have any questions about the above or anything else about skateboarding!
Jonny this is how we as skaters change the world. Inspiring video and I really hope the current generation of skaters helps carve the path for the next generation. It all starts with a positive attitude and passion like your own and TSA. You’re a great ambassador for skateboarding, I hope your idea of starting a skateboarding school wasn’t just a joke!
Such a great video. I started skating earlier this year with 27 and having a blast. Got to meet new friends and also gained a lot of confidence for my usual life and everything. Also a positive aspect is to be outside and get actually fit while doing it. It's gerat cardio and a perfect component to lifting weights. Keep up everything you do Jonny! Greetings from Germany
Very inspiring video sensei! Went smooth, chill music, great advice, amazing people. Thank you for sharing. And yes, one can get so many benefits in life from skateboarding. Learning it at 40, some fears went away!
Such good vibes. I love the direction and connections you're maing and taking here. When we were trying to get a skatepark for our city we did many things, one of which was taking a portable skatepark (manny pads, rails, jump ramps etc) around many of the primary schools and high schools delivering skateboarding lessons to the students. We also set up the same portable skatepark every Saturday at a local gym (using one of the large sports halls) which was hugely beneficial during the cold, wet winter months. It all required lots of organisation, motivation, and commitment from all involved but was totally worth it. We finally got the skatepark and now have two more, and a DIY, to add to the original. Keep on dreming up and pushing for your own skate school. It will be incredible. Keiji Masuda is a great skater and teacher too. I love his instagram videos.
Thx Jonny for yourteaching over the years, without you and your technic i couldnt Progress the way i did and I am Happy for your Gift for skating overall. Keep IT Up and maybe someday i can See you and urst into tears for my sensei
I love the teaching methods here. This should be in every grade school everywhere. Now that skateboarding is an Olympic sport, schools need to start supporting it, building facilities and fielding teams in middle school and high school. There should be college scholarships for skateboarding. If volleyball can get you a scholarship, skateboarding should be a no brainer. If I had this teacher when I was a kid, I might have done a primo hardflip or a pop shuv underflip before 47 years of age. Great video Jonny. You do so much to bring positivity and good vibes to skateboarding. Thank you from an 80's kid who only got shooed away and treated like a criminal for riding a skateboard. People like you are changing that view.
Great to see the youth on skateboards! Very cool, yes! Important to provide the space for people to skate. Good spot in Kapaau, kids shred up here. Come check it out Jonny! You’d love this local park. Super flowey and fun
Spread your knowledge to the Younger people which didnt consum social media. See what mitchie bruskow did. To see these japanese guys, how much love they put into this. To get the Younger Generation into Skateboarding. WE need a Giger school! With teacher Dario for vert and Jonny for flat and oldschool. Thanks for this video. My dream is to get a small Hall Like yours in my Village. Cheers
idk why i even thought for a second you were gonna say something about joa lol jonny's videos always make you feel good. You guys are like ying and yang of the two sides of skate yt
That is a powerfull video Jonny. I’m absolutely in, because You have incredible skills and gift from the god. I watching your videos from the beggining your struggles to making space level of skateboarding. Open the school is exactly, what is in your concern and i’m sure, You will be a perfect teacher. For me You are now a legend and the greatest skater of all time. Be like this all your life, thanks for save the skateboarding ✌️
Thank you Jonny! It was a great video! I hope we can each spread skateboarding in our own way! I'll support Keiji! I'm looking forward to seeing Jonny again!
@Jonny Giger you're the best street skater I've ever seen, and I'm old enough to be your grandfather, honestly. I really appreciate you and your contribution to skating. Invaluable Jonny, invaluable. 💚👍✌ ..............''''''''''⊙''''''''''''''''''''''''⊙''''''''''".............skatelife
神に召された師匠。 he is a teacher from god. so heartwarming .. I experienced it also when I was back in tokyo how welcomming the skateboarding community is. I remember in komazawa skatepark the 80 old man has taught me how to drop in.. and another guy how to propper heelfip.. (I know just kickflips , some sloppy heelflips and doubles /tribbels at that time as well as varial kicks and tre flips..
my nephews are/were both scooter kids who had skateboards too and they definitely thought skateboarding was cooler but they just didn't have any patience at all to learn it. they can drop in on vert on the scooters and can't even really roll on skateboards and get discouraged super easily.
please start a skate school, you already have a commendable ability to break things down in an understandable manner, one of the superpowers from the video!
I think we need to teach the kids which come to the park and can't even push before they give up and go ride scooter. One thing I hear today still often is: you need to learn to olli. But the key to skateboarding is to learn to push and balance. Buying kids a walmart deck and dump them to the skatepark does not help them to learn to skateboard. But the parants do and later they buy them a scooter. ^^
I was expecting some low level skating at the last event but was presently surprised, They were ripping... As for skateboarding disappearing, I feel like it's going to be a thing that moves around the world, from America to Europe to Japan to India, ect and it'll come back around in time. 😁👍
there used to be a lot more kids on the skatepark when i was 15 they even expanded it now i went back at 26 a couple more times and it is mostly deserted, i don't get why but i tend to see more 20 and up bros than kids trying to skate but i had never thought about it, now that it is in the olympics i thought we were getting big but maybe not really.
I'm 32 and your videos have me considering trying skating, but it's scary tbh. I'm in awful shape and have never been very athletic. I'm also very self conscious. But maybe someday.
Hey, Johnny. Kind of a new fan here. 36 and relearning to skate. I've been going through your videos and they never fail to get a smile on my face. I'm curious, do you edit your own videos?
I think there are too many toxic things in skateboarding these days. Back in the 90's if you could land an ollie you were doing well, and anyone who could land a kickflip was basically a god. These days people are too busy calling each other names and there are some tricks you cant do in a game of skate because you'll get blasted for it. I mean, you even get picked on for how you carry your deck these days. No wonder youngsters don't want to get involved.
Have the exact opposite experience. Way more including nowadays. Back in the nineties you had to be really good to even be talked to by better skaters. Now most people are super nice even if you just cruise around.
@@pumuckl10000I agree with what you're saying from my personal experience skating. But now that skateboarding is so popular in mainstream culture, and "cool" and glamorized, it feels discouraging for people to just hop on the board for fun. That's just my experience as a young adult
I think we need more indoor parks. Pre-teen and teenage aged new skaters want a judgment free zone to learn in and parents who bring young children to learn want a safe environment to bring them/drop them off. It's also much easier to teach and learn skating when there aren't people all over and you can skate the same obstacle 1,000 times in a row. Unfortunately it's cost prohibitive to open an indoor park in areas where there's actually enough people in a building that's not stuck back in some industrial park that only has 4 parking spots.
I'm 37 now. I don't know if I'd be alive if it wasn't for skateboarding. But the kids today are so trendy that they only do it when others are. There was a wave during Covid but I think it's dying off again
The Japanese train whatever they are training serious AF. "Kids go have fun here's a skateboard" not in Japan son. In Japan we train skateboarda like-a train Baseball HIHAY!!!!! Japan is going to produce some of the best skaters in the next 10 years if it takes off there.
Thank you Jonny!!💙
This video is amazing and honored!!
There are people all over the world who need you!
But, I hope the day comes when your town's skate park will be filled with kids!! And I hope the smiles never stop!
You absolutely should start a skateschool Jonny
It's amazing what kind of community you can create when skateboarding isn't looked at as delinquency. Truly awesome!
Dude, they called you 先生! Great sign of respect, and you deserve it.

Im 38 and skatboarding helped me so much in life... I haven't been skating in the last 10 years or so.. bad knees but its always in my heart!
Same. 39

This video brings tears of joy for the future of skating
Amazing video!! I hope we can soon build a new generation of skaters that will keep this hobby/sport/art form going. Keep killing it Jonny!!
Jonny is the best!!! Not just at skating. At humanity. At brotherhood. Awesome human!!

I bought my first skateboard(custom) and it arrived today. Gonna try to ride it first the coming weeks. Had only used a waveboard when I was little.

Get a deck no wheels try on your carpet or grass
Freestyle kings 🙏🏼
I think Jonny Should Teach!
Loved it!

It’s the parents stopping the kids from doing physical sports and don’t want them to get injured
I think we need more indoor parks. Pre-teen and teenage aged new skaters want a judgment free zone to learn in and parents who bring young children to learn want a safe environment to bring them/drop them off. It's also much easier to teach and learn skating when there aren't people all over and you can skate the same obstacle 1,000 times in a row. Unfortunately it's cost prohibitive to open an indoor park in areas where there's actually enough people in a building that's not stuck back in some industrial park that only has 4 parking spots.
Regardless of whether or not that's actually true, that's entirely down to people's behavior not location.
I'm 37 now. I don't know if I'd be alive if it wasn't for skateboarding. But the kids today are so trendy that they only do it when others are. There was a wave during Covid but I think it's dying off again
