When I was younger, I was skating this secret bank in LA. I used to skate there almost every day. One day I’m out doing my thing and out of nowhere Rodney Mullen shows up. I was so surprised at first I didn’t believe it was him (I thought it was an impersonator lol). After watching him skate for a minute I realized it was the legend himself. I skated with him for hours. It was awesome! He’s such a nice and humble human being. The thing that inspired me most about that day was watching him try the same trick over and over and over. For hours he tried and failed, but you could tell it didn’t matter. He was just happy to be out skating and meeting people. This is what I see in you when I watch your videos. It’s that love and determination I saw in Rodney that day. Truly inspiring!
That would be awesome if they could met and abd catch Rodney's reactions about Jonny's skating. I wonder if he ever had any feedback from Rodney after all the dedicated video Jonny did?
@@sj9158 so andy anderson and jason park are youtube skaters? even though both are pro, andy has killed it at tampa pro and jonny giger has battled at the berrics against worlds best skaters...hmm youtube skaters that's funny dude
By showing your failures, your disappointment and your perseverance despite them you are teaching those who look to you for inspiration that their own perseverance will pay off. That they will have to work hard and try to achieve. And to not give up when it takes hundreds or thousands of attempts. Good videos, good vibes. Keep it up man.
Be careful man, I'm 30 and tried to get back into skating after 13 years of hiatus and tore my meniscus. Now my boss is mad I have to miss work over "a midlife crisis" lol
@@DanielSousa-dx3rn lol thankfully I got a doctor's note for until the 20th. And it turned out to be my lcl (lateral collateral ligament) not my meniscus.
This is the Jonny G that got me to subscribe. Inspiration. Struggle. Dedication. Achievement. Nice production and narrative on the video as well. Great story.
It's maybe cultural, but emphasizing how you felt somebody else's feeling and frustration in such a way like it's a miracle - while everybody can just see how he tried hard and fell - it's childish and almost socially retarded. In Europe we would never express it in such a way, and in Croatia you would be possibly beaten so that you can actually feel it ;)
Your commitment and dedication are extraordinary. What an example of practicing with joyful discipline until immersed into mastery! Even if it is only for a tiny window of time. It is always a gift, thank you for showing that! :-)
the dedication of this man is making me try harder at learning and landing new tricks until it becomes muscle memory. I have learn so much just by watching the videos. it got me back into skating. Thank you so much and much love brother!
Yo Jonny, I just wanted to share how inspiring these vids are. I used to skate religiously when I was younger but quit as soon as I picked up a guitar. My heart will always be in live music but I won't lose my love for the art of skating. Your perspective and methodology for breaking down tricks fundamentally have helped me in my own guitar playing! Thanks for posting these really! Much love to you!

The process looked frustrating but clearly we could see you getting better and even stylish on certain trys. Was great to witness ! Keep it up Jonny !
So great that you finally made it Jonny! :) Well done and I am more than glad that not only Rodney Mullen but also you are able of doing this trick! :)
Hi Jonny, I don't skateboard, I once ollied 2 inches high, then fell. Also, I don't think I'll ever get on a skateboard again, and yet... I'm addicted to watching your videos because of your personality. You're a good man. Keep the videos coming.
Yes love this trick, great video Jonny, also I’ve been binge watching your videos recently and you’re awesome man honestly you’re insane keep up the great work man, you inspire me to skate 🙏🏻
I found your channel a few days ago and reinspired to get out there, age 31! I last skated in college, and had stopped doing most flat ground tricks. Thanks for the inspiration.
Johnny your commitment is on par with the best in the business. You sir have my utmost respect. What an awesome reward after such a battle! Keep skating
Jonny filming the scenery in focus in the foreground and himself out of focus in the background. I love this guy's videos. A video artist and a skateboard legend
Awesome Jonny I was freestyling before Rodney’s time my inspiration was Stacey Peralta and I missed out on the Rodney era. Freestyling again in my 50’s this is inspiring stuff
said it in another video of jonny, the lands of the tricks he masters always look smooth and effortless, like not even trying hard - but man, this guy works as hard as anyone on his goals, and he gets there, no questions asked - big respect!
I got back into skating last year in part to this channel. Your determination and dedication to getting a trick down is not only a little inspiring, but a good reminder that skating is hard and your own mind and attitude is your only limit. Thanks for being awesome, Jonny!
It's the blessing and the curse of Rodney. He's so smooth and elegant that he makes everything look easy and just so cool. But then you try to do it and you realize the curse, that the things he does are insane.
Inspirational !! Good job Jonny!!!! Been struggling for 4 sessions to land my first sw hardflip, gone through 2 boards and pain haha Your dedication is a reminder to never give up! Hope it will go down in the next session 😛👊
I just realized why I love your videos.... you're already an awesome skater, but you keep it real by showing how hard it is to do Rodney's tricks. Most skate videos make these tricks look so easy, but watching how much effort goes into learning a new trick is encouraging for the rest of us, who are still learning and nowhere near your level. Thanks for sharing your progression and how much it takes to learn a new trick, even for good skaters liker yourself. Very encouraging!!!!
YOOO WTF. Havent been on this channel in yearss- (cos life) - Jonny u got over half a milly subs now, unbelievable bro. To no surprise you´re still killing it. Fucking sick mate.
Alter ! Respect allein schon wegen den 700 versuchen ! TThe final end trick looks amazing man and imo almost exaclty like Rodneys one. Keep it rollin man
Incredible talent man, huge respect! Rodney Mullen used to be such an inspiration (still is) for me as a kid. We had this ON Video Skateboarding tape and rewind his part many times and go outside afterwards. I liked to do simple truckstands etc, but you took it on a legendary level. You should really meet him in person and create something epic ;)

Nice Novel
@@sirbentel514 lol it’s not even THAT long 🤦🏽♂️
Awesome
Awesome! Which trick was he trying?
More people need to be like Rodney. Such an awesome guy
You should meet Rodney Mullen in person and skate together.
Man that would be epic
Rod doesn't skate anymore
@@solidsnakesasscheeks. no he can still do it
have they met before? or does Rod know this guy
That would be a dream come true 🙏
That would be awesome if they could met and abd catch Rodney's reactions about Jonny's skating. I wonder if he ever had any feedback from Rodney after all the dedicated video Jonny did?
This guy is gonna be new young skaters inspiration for skating in next 100 years. His dedication is insane.
Yeah it's Jonny giger, Andy Anderson & Jason Park keeping creative skating alive in the current gen
@@GrowingDownUnder seems like you don't actually go outside of the realm of youtube skateboarders. Jason parks is super sick tho
You act like actual skaters won't try a trick 700+ times

He is my inspiration 🙏🏼🇨🇭🇩🇪
These tricks really show how Rodney is the Master.
those goddamn tre flips into manuals are insane
fr, they are so polished
And nollie

Thanks man, i think I will hang up the board. Not trying to convince any9ne else to by any means! I just can't afford to keep getting hurt lmao
Your "warming up" is all I ever wanted to do on a Skateboard, you are trully something special.
You know the trick is hard when Jonny starts swearing
That’s what I was thinking LoL it’s so true!
This is the Jonny G that got me to subscribe.
Inspiration. Struggle. Dedication. Achievement.
Nice production and narrative on the video as well. Great story.
The one you landed looked so clean and coordinated man. Awesome vid
cleaner than rodney imo.
Is so cool se your dedication. Even when you did the trick I celebrated so hard Lmao
I feel like this series is having a tremendous impact on the revitalization of freestyle lately
Insane dude! Dedication to land it has finally paid off
I felt the pain when you fell and said, "sh*t." It was literally right there! So close!
the only literal shit is your writing dude.

When you get 1 million subs you gotta find the spots and recreate one of rodneys video parts, would be so dope
so he just needs to find LA basically haha
I lowkey want him to complete a full run of a Rodney 80's freestyle winning performance. Music and all.
Still cant get over how amazing Jonny is at skating, definitely my favorite skater by far because of how wholesome of a person he is!
Your commitment and dedication are extraordinary. What an example of practicing with joyful discipline until immersed into mastery! Even if it is only for a tiny window of time. It is always a gift, thank you for showing that! :-)
the dedication of this man is making me try harder at learning and landing new tricks until it becomes muscle memory. I have learn so much just by watching the videos. it got me back into skating. Thank you so much and much love brother!
This level of dedication is so inspiring. And it deserves love. Congrats man! Awesome!
Geil. Einfach Geil!
@Waldemar same das ist zu krank
Such dedication and perseverance, well done for nailing it in the end!
Seeing those Mountains in the back ground while skating (whata Cool Feeling)
Huge respect to you Jonny Giger for your persistence! That's what sets you above the others!
I love your skating Jonny Giger....and your editing works too!
Thanks!
His editing is super dope.
This was a sick journey to follow! Really felt this one!

A pleasure to watch as always. Its great to see the commitment and fortitude you show when learning a trick. Inspiring.
Rodney Mullen would award a medal, if he would check that footage.
So clean!! Amazing!! Congratulations Jonny!
shots with the snow is so beautiful ! thanks for keeping me motivated learning new tricks
Yes love this trick, great video Jonny, also I’ve been binge watching your videos recently and you’re awesome man honestly you’re insane keep up the great work man, you inspire me to skate 🙏🏻

Jonny Mullen strikes again! Love it.
I found your channel a few days ago and reinspired to get out there, age 31! I last skated in college, and had stopped doing most flat ground tricks. Thanks for the inspiration.
Skating when there is snow is a flex. I admire your determination, perspiration and inspiration.
Inspirational! Amazing work and congrats with getting this trick!
Johnny your commitment is on par with the best in the business. You sir have my utmost respect. What an awesome reward after such a battle! Keep skating
All people who get good at skating have serious determination, but you have it on a different level.
Jonny filming the scenery in focus in the foreground and himself out of focus in the background. I love this guy's videos. A video artist and a skateboard legend
The dedication this guy is AMAZING congrats!!!!!
Video editing and music in this were fire. Loved seeing the trick attempts counter and I definitely cheered out loud when you finally stuck it. 🤙
Awesome Jonny I was freestyling before Rodney’s time my inspiration was Stacey Peralta and I missed out on the Rodney era. Freestyling again in my 50’s this is inspiring stuff
The skating is as ever next level. The video production and editing is impressive. Beautiful work JG !!
my favorite video of yours. truly shows how much work you put into the thing you love most, and inspires me to do the same

Wow that was perfect, well done
You did that so nicely 👍👏👏👏👏
Yo jonny! You inspired me to get back to skating and I just landed my first kickflip thanks to your tutorial video! ❤️❤️
No need for the extra tongue back in the day. We had the Osiris D3 shoe. LMAO
And the globe ct iv (which I just learned you can still buy today)
