    Money is an issue that everyone has for a better and luxurious life, Life was hard for me until I started trading cryptocurrency and now am earning $30,000 per week.

    This is really interesting. I think people underestimate how much hard work goes into keeping a business afloat, much less profitable and growing.

    This new series where you say "How **I** _____" and then the video is about someone that isn't John Hill is lame and scummy.

      Yeah the titles still a bit weird. Especially for people outside of the core audience here.

  • @Solaxer
    @Solaxer ปีที่แล้ว +108

    John Hill making videos titled “How I did X” with his face in the thumbnail when he’s actually talking about and interviewing someone else just seems completely dishonest, even for a TH-cam title/thumbnail and also sort of disrespectful to the people he’s interviewing.

    When he said 'there's Rocco', I was expecting Steve Rocco to walk in. Gave me a fright.

  • @AndreSjoberg
    @AndreSjoberg ปีที่แล้ว +2

    «Rocco’s my dawg» is such an insiders joke from back in the day, love these new videos with you put and about, meeting people and doing little reportage videos of characters in the skateboard biz, the move was a smart move (all puns intended ;)

    #1 reason is their ramps are almost all perfect in every measurement, and super simple to build and keep accurate.

    Love Keen Ramps. A huge inspiration to me invention wise, sk8ing wise & entrepreneurially.
    Much like the vid you did with Mrs Peachy, these interview topic/reporter segmented style videos really suit you Johnno. Keep 'em coming!
    *SugGeStiOn BoX!*
    • Do one on the Professor.
    • Maybe the history of the DogTown boys.
    • Do a retrospective on 80s/90s sk8ing in LA especially about the culture of videos & movies revolving around sk8ing back then e.g. like Gleaming the Cube etc...

  • @brad5185
    @brad5185 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Sucks about those tightening margins. Could be the downfall over a medium-long time line without something to balance out, or skaters simply paying more. Wish Keen ramps all the best. Its tough to turn what you love into a paying job.

    As somebody who's worked in fabrication and also looked at the price of keen ramps products I can tell you the answer is simply overcharging for labor and supplies then handing off the shipping cost to the customer. They simply sell something for something for much much more than it's parts are worth. And don't tell me it's labor intensive, these ramps are about as simple as assembly can get.
