This is an excellent demonstration of the high level of skill and dedication it requires to be as good at a skill as one can be. Also the evolution of your video presentation has accentuated said demonstration. Bravo Jonny, bravo.

Your Videos are just such an overall good experience to watch every time. Following you for years it is awesome to see you progress not only in skating, but also in the production of the videos. Favorite youtube skater for sure!
Osiris the storm and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is what got me into skateboarding. I'll always remember the section with the Skate stoppers and Tom Pettys "Don't come around here no more" playing in the background!
Love the video Johnny. Been a fan for over 8 years now and am happy your love for skating and youtube has never died. Also I believe the muscle you are experiencing soreness in is your hip flexor, doing some lying down leg lifts (lie down on the ground with your lower back flat on the ground and lift your legs to the sky) or hanging leg lifts (hang from a bar and lift your legs straight up in the air), these will work your core and that sore muscle. I do martial arts and skate and have hurt that muscle before so I make sure to train it
Jonny, i think its the hip flexor your talking about , gets real tight. i have the same problem sometimes just [ainful to stand and walk, stretching is the key, im 43,, i use massage pads you can put on the sore parts to wain off the pain.... such a good channel bro been watching you for years :-)
So sick Jonny. Loved seeing some less tech stuff too. I’d love to see some frontside nose slide combos from you, Something I don’t think I’ve ever seen in your vids? The nollie Fs flip late flip brings back memories of seeing Jerry HSU do them during the Storm tour in the UK, back in the days. It was mind blowing… and still is!
I twisted my knee badly last summer and havent been able to skate in 3 months. 6 months left until I can skate... ur videos help me so much to get through this h*ll! So much motivation and desire to get back to skating❤
THAT OSIRIS VIDEO IS MY FAVORITE OF ALL TIME. I DO HATE CLOWNS, BUT I DO LOVE THE STORM FLIP. THAT OSIRIS VIDEO STILL STANDS THE TEST OF TIME. IT IS A LEGENDARY VIDEO. YOU TOO ARE ALSO A LEGENDARY SKATER. YOUR STYLE IS LIKE THAT OF JOEY BRESINSKI, SO CLEAN AND SOLID. BUT YOU ARE YOUR OWN PERSON, YES. YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SUCH A CALCULATED SKATER. YOU HAVE LANDED SKATE TRICKS THAT NO ONE EVER HAS, AND NEVER WILL. I AM YOUR GERMAN PEOPLE. I AM ALSO ENGLISH THOUGH. I HAVE ALWAYS APPRECIATED YOUR SKILLS AND ESPECIALLY YOUR CHARISMA. HAVE A GOOD DAY JONNY.
Love it man, I wonder if you'd be able to piece together Nollie Back Heel Late Varial Heel, and maybe even revert fakie backside at the end for extra style points? I think it would look sick and I feel that you have all the components of it dialled so SURELY it can't be that hard for you... right??
I used to skate from 1997 till 2005. I got out of the hobby for various reasons such as the fact that I wasn't all that great, skating friends moved away, and I started working. Tried to take it up again 7 years ago when I was 30, and still managed to (barely) land a kickflip (after 10 years of no skating), but ultimately decided that I didn't want to risk a sprained ankle or worse and then not be able to work and pay the bills. My body wasn't use to it anymore. Although I don't skate now, I still enjoy watching skating videos, and especially love all kinds of technical tricks like what you were doing here. Here's an idea for you if you ever get around to it -- inward heelflip underflip.
Hard flips r so hard for me...nollie hard flip w a late flip...I think I could try these a million times...til death and I'd never be capable of this trick. I just don't catch a nollie hard flip with even close to enough time to late flip. Definitely not possible for me on flat ground n highly doubtful off a small bump/kicker...like seriously I think it'd take me 5 years of just trying that trick. Ur ability to get these nutty tricks so quickly is a testament to how goof and well rounded your bag of tricks is.
@Jonny giger could you try a 540 hardflip or a 3=three sixty hardflip three sixty or a hardflip variation that hasnt been done before? i really like hardflips
Nice video with some local language in between! Cool to hear for the Swiss fans and probably also funny for the rest. Is it time for an episode in Swiss German - maybe with Dario? ;)
Just a random question, do you use a theragun or massage gun before or after skating? I’m 30 and it helps so much with those hip pains and other muscle fatigues/tightness
5:54 "maximal laessig hae" 😀😀 I will use that phrase now a lot 😀 6:28 placing the phone in the middle of the park is also "maximal laessig" and kind of very optimistic 😀 7:23 I do. But I also wear a near empty wallet next to it to give it protection
I've always been a pretty basic skater and my physique somewhat adds to the difficulty. I started skating with 12 or 13, after my flashy bmx type bike that i used to recreate extreme sports was stolen by the poor kids who lived in a big block building nearby. I learned heelflips first and they felt easier to do then olies, because i didn't know how to position my shoulders and skating with others didn't help mutch. I had two friends i skated with and they both improved very fast and one of them actually ended up with a sponsoring from Ozone, and he was part of a insanly talented crew, that kept growing over the years. A few years ago the City build a totaly sweet skatepark ontop of the exusting one with additional funding from the EU and it is part of a general renewal of city buildings and infrastructure. I skated untill i was 16 or so and i didnt have to mutch fun, to be honest. I kept having hurtful and stupid slams while trying to do 2 or three stairs.. and the weather wasnt as great and it was always loud because of the Asphalt and people didnt like it. The Boards were a bit too heavy, however that didnt keep people i know to really excell at skateboarding. There still were a lot of cool Stories that happened. Then my knees kept hurting and i stopped skating with some rare exemptions. I started new when i saw the new park. And the high quality of the skate park and the talented skaters there kept inspiring me, which led to me finaly learning kickflips, varial flips, improving my manual. I landed a double heelflip and even underflips are not totaly out of reach because the flat is smoth as silk. I know routinly ollie three stairs up, ir even up small gaps the kids to tge other way around. The Stormflip reminds me of a trick i kept doing randomly while trying to learn varial or 360 flips. Which is to me, a kickflip with a 360 degree rotation. I learned to do that, but it is nearly impossible to land it without a body varial, because i always have the impulse to turn away from the flip in order to not hit my knees or legs or ankles. I do the body varial and kinda slide sideways into the landing, after the deck has done it's movement. I almost managed to do it like a 360 pop shovit, but it requires so much energy and my bones and joints dont agree with that so mutch. That basicly means that i have to put both my feet very closely toghether to the tail and i make it easier by completing most of the 360 degree sideways spin very close to the ground, like a thread with a weight on it, that is twisted and then Releases its energy, while untwisting. To do that a Skater needs just a confident ollie. After giving the deck this energy i just kind of slide my front foot over the edge of the deck and do the jump and the deck just keeps flipping and this way it looks somewhat good and it works very reliable for me. I always felt varial flips to be some sort of sound barrier, which could not be penetrated. It doesn't look as good as the big majority of skaters doing tre flips, but it is really great fun to do. Before that however, i occasionaly tried to learn it on my own and i did it by closely following a book, called "The Art of Street Skating". According to this book, with step by step instructions a Skater needs to follow the front of the board and then do a heelflip to the inside and not a kickflip like motion i do know. Out of that resulted a akward semi fliptrick i never saw any one do, and i always landed it with my back foot first which made it elegant and fun to do with my colourful Adidas samba shoes that looked lije dancing shoes. I still love those shoes to this day. My second favorite pair would be very soft, big and pattened es leather shoes in brown, which my mum bought me for my birthday i think when i was 15 or 16. That trick reminds me if the storm trick. Now i am abit over thirty and i dtoped skating, in order to protect my health.
Definitely worthy of taking a bow! I'd say that judging by the way they were chopped with axe and not a chainsaw that your trees were stolen for firewood 😮
Skateboarding has been practiced in Japan for about 40 years. If there is asphalt, you can enjoy it both in the city and in the park. However, it isn′t a SK8 that everyone can enjoy because it is banned in many places. Only some king's children can enjoy it, and the general public cannot. In Japan, SK8 was first started in Osaka. 😂😂😂😅😅😅❤😢😢😢😂😂😂
I really don't like naming tricks that are easily described. "nollie bs flip late flip" is what it is. No one is doing so many of them, that they need to nickname the trick for brevity's sake. If you say 'storm flip' to anyone else that's ever been in BATB, you'd still have to describe it for them as a "nollie backside flip late flip."
Dreamed up something only a skater like you would try. Nollie inward heel late shuv nose manual. Probably not possible yet. Maybe with extra time in the air. DO IT.
This is a tough trick. I wonder if trying a nollie 180 cancel flip would be easier or harder? It seems like it would be easier, but you might have to be even quicker. Maybe this could be another video if you need ideas one day.
@@maxfern5701 could be but knowing the oblic insertion is on the iliac crest. By is description of going down to the quad, the iliac psoas seems like a suspect due to his insertion on the lesser trochanter of the femur. Might be both lol with such a rotation and flexion of the hip. Pick your culprit
Hey Jonny, 35 years old amateur skater here. I tore some bands in my ankle during a session last year and didn't step on a board since, cuz my orthopedic told me I already got pretty loose joints anyway. I thought about wearing braces constantly when skating, but I can't imagine how to be nimble and quick with my feet in those. You started that a while ago, right? How was that? Did you have to basically re-learn everything and get new muscle memory? And btw, the muscle you mean is probably the hip-flexor. Also commonly shortened when sitting on a desk a lot. Everyone should stretch that mofo, or it can lead to lots of problems down the road :D
Since you injured your ankle ligaments you would need to train and rely on muscular stability around the ankle. There is a lot of rehab options to improve ankle stability but a soft brace may help some but not limit the flick as much.
I like this guy! He puts a device worth more than a used car on the ground of his local skate park like a sav'. To me, that's more gnarly than this classic trick!
Seeing you trying to land this, it just makes me be in even more awe of how incredibly smooth and perfectly Jerry did it.
This is an excellent demonstration of the high level of skill and dedication it requires to be as good at a skill as one can be. Also the evolution of your video presentation has accentuated said demonstration. Bravo Jonny, bravo.
i like that you started speaking your language in the videos, it makes it so much more authentic somehow

@@angelroman3487he’s complimenting him bud
The first "basic trick" kickflip was one of the best ive ever seen. Beautiful. You have pop for days!
...JoE...
love your videos bro.. makes me want to go skate everytime!
Jonny’s video quality is getting higher and higher.
Your Videos are just such an overall good experience to watch every time. Following you for years it is awesome to see you progress not only in skating, but also in the production of the videos. Favorite youtube skater for sure!
That is such great life advice. Enjoy the journey. The victory comes and goes in a split second, but the journey is what makes you.
Osiris the storm and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is what got me into skateboarding. I'll always remember the section with the Skate stoppers and Tom Pettys "Don't come around here no more" playing in the background!
One of our best modern skaters, keep it up Jonny!
That was a really lovely trick. Very satisfying to watch
Love the video Johnny. Been a fan for over 8 years now and am happy your love for skating and youtube has never died.
Also I believe the muscle you are experiencing soreness in is your hip flexor, doing some lying down leg lifts (lie down on the ground with your lower back flat on the ground and lift your legs to the sky) or hanging leg lifts (hang from a bar and lift your legs straight up in the air), these will work your core and that sore muscle. I do martial arts and skate and have hurt that muscle before so I make sure to train it
Jonny, i think its the hip flexor your talking about , gets real tight. i have the same problem sometimes just [ainful to stand and walk, stretching is the key, im 43,, i use massage pads you can put on the sore parts to wain off the pain.... such a good channel bro been watching you for years :-)
I love your content Joony. You are a modern skatelegend

as someone who is not a skate boarder.. this trick looks soo cool. I am a huge fan of 360/lazer flips, late flips/underflips. this trick looks so neat
I can't get over that scenery with mountains everywhere. What a f*ing amazing place you live / skate, dude.
Much love and respect to you and your channel Jonny Giger. ♾️💜

What gets me is the height of that trick on the original video. He was able to get that late flip over a foot off of the ground.
i swear, and this is going to sound weird, i get it, but i could watch you do no complies all day. seriously lol! such a great video.
One of my favorite tricks ever. I dont think i ever tried it tho even when i was saw Jerry do it
@Jonny Giger That insano-vert wall in the background has me sparked... how about a vert sesh on that thing?
The fact that Jerry did this trick w/ the CHUNKY shoes says a lot 👊
chunky shoes are superior in every way.
Love it man, I wonder if you'd be able to piece together Nollie Back Heel Late Varial Heel, and maybe even revert fakie backside at the end for extra style points? I think it would look sick and I feel that you have all the components of it dialled so SURELY it can't be that hard for you... right??
Storytelling is at skateboard level 👊👊🙏
Storm flip was incentive
I've been thinking of a hospital nollie inward heel but I need to get busy trying it
ridiculously hard looking trick. great job

Reaaaaaaly enjoyed what you did on the rhythm and the edit for this video ! Great job ! (On that crazy trick as well ;)
I had The Storm on VHS and I watched the hell out of it!!
@Jonny giger could you try a 540 hardflip or a 3=three sixty hardflip three sixty or a hardflip variation that hasnt been done before? i really like hardflips
That roll away was cool, wouldn't change a thing!
Jagger Eaton always has his phone in his pocket! He’s usually on it right before a run, then quickly pockets it as he rolls out! 😂😅❤
You're a wholesome person, I really like that :)
My absolute favorite flip trick
So good! Props Mr. Giger🤙
I love how you show all your attempts to show ppl this shit isnt ez
Nice video with some local language in between! Cool to hear for the Swiss fans and probably also funny for the rest. Is it time for an episode in Swiss German - maybe with Dario? ;)
The nollie backside 180 flip was so good. It's time for the helipop flip. Full rotation, no pivot. If anyone can do it, you can.
Tom penny did it in extremely sorry
yo what is that trick?
Just a random question, do you use a theragun or massage gun before or after skating? I’m 30 and it helps so much with those hip pains and other muscle fatigues/tightness
Nicely done..... 👏👏
That trick is insane jonny,i landed it fakie a while ago. Congrats for the trick dude 🎉
I’ve skated that ledge at the start of the video clip where he does the nollie flip out…
It’s massive and the video doesn’t do it justice.
I had to go back and learn to catch all my flip tricks higher. And then the more complex tricks started getting easier to learn.
5:54 "maximal laessig hae" 😀😀 I will use that phrase now a lot 😀

That muscle is your HIP FLEXOR and I'm 37 so I get it. A day of flatland skating DESTROYS that on my front leg.
The best skateboarder 🔥
Some of the craziest tricks look so easy in real time… almost like a firework.. done before you can even appreciate it…
Even more impressive is that anyone was able to land this wearing those puffy Osiris shoes.
Would love to see an update video on tricks like this. Do you still practice it after this video or is it a one and done?
These kind of trick are insanely hard to be consistent at, unless you spend years dedicating time to it.
@@20eyesmisfit That's exactly what I'm asking. Does he dedicate time to it, after the video?
Sehr cool dich auf deutsch sprechen zu sehen Bro, viel Respekt
I think that pain is you're feeling is your hip flexor, i have issues with mine. Keep flicking ass Jonny 🤘
he come he go he brew nice touch with the history books ;)
What is the oposit of that trick ? Like not in nollie but in ollie.
Dreamed up something only a skater like you would try. Nollie inward heel late shuv nose manual. Probably not possible yet. Maybe with extra time in the air. DO IT.
Whst is the song at 12:50
Believe in yourselves. ♾️💜
Never give up.
Can you teach me how to nollie backside flip
my favorite skater!
Now you gotta do it switch like Scott Pazelt does in the same video
Jerry is one of the greatest
This is a tough trick. I wonder if trying a nollie 180 cancel flip would be easier or harder? It seems like it would be easier, but you might have to be even quicker. Maybe this could be another video if you need ideas one day.
Have u tried Andy Andersons new board?
Imagine jonny pulls up to BATB14 and does a storm flip💀
Dein Deutsch ist echt sehr gut 👍👋
So muska frontside flip late flip?
fell forward over my board once, landed on my hip, with my phone in my pocket... the screen was smashed, and so was my hip...
That last land almost made it look like you could take this all the way around 360 after the late flip.... Would that then be the thunderstorm flip?
Wo Sind alli mini Schwiizer?
obnoxiously naming ridiculous tricks: lots of skaters
Nobody:
Giger: okay I’ll do it until it happens

Are you increasing focus on basic tricks in case you get back into BATB?
That muscle is called your oblique in the english language. I know this because mine are lopsided from not skating switch enough 😅
