back in 2008 the first skate shop I would bug was probably one of my favorite places to go to hang out and get information on what was going on in the skate scene, sadly it went under, but definitely skate shops are important!
that's how most skateshops go, but there's a ton of online business so there's clearly still traffic, just have to figure out how to connect the two so the businesses stay open, haha
odyssey!!!!!!
Te amo me amigo
Favorite skater right now and on the team im most hyped to see succeed!
Mogely the stickers at the skateshops are so underrated. I should have collected them all in plastic sleeves like stamps or Pokémon cards😅
An incredibly interesting topic extremely well articulated
When you try to get that word count up on an essay with some big words
@@krizz3039 Or just regular... words. There are literally no "big" words in his sentence. He just wrote normally. Like a normal person does.
oh snap thank you! It's definitely an important subject to me (clearly haha)
@@childrenoftheinfinite just dont say anything he made a joke and you ruined it
My aphasia bothers dialect...
Have fell and bumped head (Motorcycle)
And Esk8 broke back!
Love the long range Esk8 to physical therapy and back. 20+
I remember my shop put up a sign like 5 years ago that said “ no smoking, and none of those stupid vapes “ 😂💀
I'm 38, don't even skate, but can't stop watching these videos. Making me want to get into it. I really love the positive vibes you have.
Man, at around the 6 minute mark, when he talks about progression, that is 100% spot on. I'm 47 years old and decided to start to learn to skateboard with my 10 year old daughter. I was a competitive downhill skier. I surfed for 10 years. Did martial arts for 8 years and play a lot of Golf. NOTHING could prepare me for the physical and mental challenge of learning how to skateboard. Wow. I'm about 3 weeks in and am still learning to push myself around (badly). Awesome insight. Thank you.
Good luck.
@@neloqz8534 thanks!
Just turned 58..wanna learn! I bought Andy Anderson's Flight board
its never too late, keep at it!
Martin Bunning bro you got that
Awesome deck! Learn to fall and don’t be afraid to wear pads. You got this! Great cardio haha
@@eianmoretz might be too heavy
That's dope
Then there’s the people with no local park or skate shop :( (me)
Join the club, buddy. Join the club. 😔🙏
Get your homies together and start the conversation about advocating for your town's first skatepark! Look to the Tony Hawk Foundation and research the Public Skatepark Development Guide for help! It may take a long time (3+ years) but it is so worth it.
Feel yah
haha sucks for you im in los angeles
SkateRatvocateProductions the total number of people that I know skate in my town is about 3 , including me , Im still gonna try and get a skatepark built but obviously funding is gonna be a bit rough at the moment :(
I got into skating like a year ago and I’ve been trying to get my friends into it a lot. A few have tried it but like David said skateboarding shows who the quitters are. I have no skatepark or skate shop in my town but I still go street skating as much as possible even though I don’t have anyone to do it with. And I’m not stopping.
amazing, it's especially hard in a small town, it's hard to see how you can be successful in it.
Out off all the things skateboarding taught me growing up, one of the most important lessons is if you can't do it by yourself, then you never really loved it. it's fun to be with friends but most of them quit. skateboarding is a solitary sport meaning you don't rely on others to get better like team sports, only on your own determination. And doing it alone shows you why you love it. Whether it's the escape, the progression, the flow and control, the culture, those are all things you learn by yourself. Keep it up and don't stop. Many ppl regret quitting. I never regret continuing. Been going 17 years now. And I'll keep going until I physically can't. Now I have a 3yo son already stepping on my board and can't wait to teach him. Don't quit pushing.
I have been watching this young man for years on TH-cam. I will be 50 soon and have love skateboarding longer than I have anything else in life.. It gives me great pleasure to watch this man build his craft. I love the name of the company. Oh and why would anyone give this a thumbs down?
Your love for street skating is what drew me to your channel in the beginning. Back when you were living here in Cincinnati and would explore the different spots all over the place.
Keep killing it. 💪💚
that's so awesome! I appreciate the love (:
Hi
was skatin today and hadda get 5 stitches on my chin for a bad fall, but when he talked abt steve-o i could really relate to that, but great video bro! progress daily!
oh my goodness! I mean a lot of people say "i used to skate and I got hurt" and I'm like, yeah this isn't for you, haha it's a painful hobby
Progress Daily yeah its pretty bad, but it kinda makes me laugh that i’ll be back at it in a couple weeks. appreciate the response homie 🙌🏼
I smacked my face in a ditch lolz
Lately i've really been struggling with progressing. Thoughts like "Maybe skateboarding isn't for me" or "I'm never going to get better" went through my mind. But this video reminded me that, no, skatebaording isn't suppsoed to be easy. It's suppsoed to bring out the most hard working person in you. It's supposed to teach you that if you fall, you get back up and try again. It's supposed to make you realize hard work and dedication really does pay off. There is SO MUCH more to skatebaording than what non-skaters go around and think about us.
John, thank you so much for being who you are and for being the biggest inspiration to all of us. So much love from me to you
“too many skaters downtown, oh boy I wonder, if only we could give them a new place to go like a skatepark or something, oh what am I thinking. I’m just rhe city manager.”
Make more noise til it makes sense
I love you and your channels so much. I'm the kind of person that NEEDS that sense of progression to keep me interested in things. Skateboarding is so different from most things bc it's something that you really have to motivate yourself to stick with and the reward is SO worth it. It took me WEEKS to learn to ollie, but the satisfaction that comes with learning a trick is so different than anything else in life bc even tho it's a solo sport, the sense of community and support that you get really plays a big part in wanting to keep going. I'm just glad to see that there are people out there who really want to grow this community and make it more important to the world bc people don't realize how much dedication and discipline it takes to skate unless you try it for yourself. Anyway thanks for making me want to progress daily and keep killing it
I need to show this to my parents
heck yes (:
Tell your parents they suck for the name Polly
Yo Greenville SC native here, my sister and brother live in Columbia! When I visited for Christmas (moved to Iowa for school) we went to bluetile and supported the homies. So happy to see/learn more about them and your support for them. Much respect for this John! Will be moving close to the city soon, maybe I'll see you at a park in a year or so!!
I blame the parents getting their kids those damn scooters instead of getting a cheap skateboard. You can get a pro model used skate from a pond shop for $20-30
CAN Control *pawn shop
Lmao "Pond shop"
Always bringing the topic back to you. The streets live on! Just cus you got older and can’t live those moments anymore, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist anymore
First of all, great video! It made me think and I saw a lot of parallels with my small town skater life. I grew up in Hays, KS and I know the feeling of being one of the only ones at school who skated. I found my friends and family at the skatepark and our local shop, WhiteChocolate. WhiteChocolate was a second home for me. The owner of the shop, however, was a very “core” skater and would never evolve with skateboarding. No Nike, no Adidas, dropping certain brands after they became “too corporate”. It ultimately led to the death of our skate scene in little Hays, KS. WhiteChocolate was one of the first skate shops in Kansas. They held bi annual contests and events in Hays, and all across the state. They even helped raise awareness and build one of the first skateparks in Kansas! They were in business from 1998-2017. Right now I’m trying to rebuild the skate scene from the ground up. I made my youtube channel for that very reason. I hope to one day be able to create a skate shop of my own, where anyone can come and feel the same love and passion that I have for skateboarding. Thanks for the inspiring video.😌❤️
that's really cool (: heck yeah, that's a hard fight. Dave toole from bluetile used to be like that too, some of his employees (including me) had to convince him to bend a little. I get where he's coming from though
Man John........ watching you progress from the person you were 3 years ago to now always motivates me and inspires me to go out and actually DO the things I WANT to do. Keep up the good work and just know with every video you show people that they don’t have to just go through life doing what everyone else wants them to do or what they’re “supposed” to do. You remind me and everyone else that you can go out and make a living doing what you love! I’ll always appreciate you sharing your life with us and inspiring everyone.
This really motivated me to keep skating and making TH-cam videos! Even tho it gets super stressful and exhausting, I enjoy the process and it is definitely worth it! 💯 Hope to be successful like you in the future John!🙏🏻
I’m 50 y/o with a total knee replacement and a fused back. My 9 & 11 y/o daughters decided they wanted to star skating. I’ve never been on a board but understand the challenges ahead of them and wanted to be there to push them through it for the life lessons that will payoff exponentially in the future.
I love how you are showing all aspects of the life/journey. Keep it up.
You have our support and we’ll do our part to continue to grow the lifestyle.
To have a skate shop around longer than 10 yrs is a blessing
The 7 dislikes are the middle aged white women calling their mayor complaining about skaters "loitering." Love your work John!
Man I'm 32 and haven't skated since I was 15, but I saw some kids skating downtown so I asked to give it a go, and what do you know after all these years I can still kickflip (it wasn't pretty), but I did it. It was the best feeling being back on the board. I live in Ft Lauderdale and we have lots of streets spots and there was one skatepark (Ramp48) we went to growing up if we had some money. I realized it changed, but I didn't realize kids aren't going out like we used to going all over downtown taking the bus from spot to spot. That was the best. I am going to order a deck and start skating around again because for the just the exercise alone I'll get my money's worth and even skating a curb or manny pad would bring me right back to that amazing time in my life when I was able to skate with all my friends. Always inspiring content on this channel 🙏
I’m from the Edinburg area here in south Texas around where one of your progress daily riders is from, and it’s very sad to see that all the local skate shops have gone extinct since the Zumiez shops moved in several years back. I appreciate that they cater to the skating community and sell skateboards for us, but it’s just not the same as the local owned shops of the past. I remember the feeling of walking into the skate shop and feeling like i was finally at home, asking infinite questions to the shop workers, and not leaving until my dad basically dragged me out. Last time i went to zumiez to get a new deck and the girl working there just pointed me towards the boards and went about her business. There was no passion and it’s so sad to think that kids getting into skating in my area won’t get that magical experience I did when I got my first board set up.
First Progress Daily video i have watched! Loved it John!!!!!! Keep killing it!
"The skate shop" a phrase that brings so many good vibes and memories back.
Like when my local shop premiered a video IN A THEATER and it got packed! As a kid I felt lucky to see myself in the background of that movie cus I was on the big screen for a second lol. And then I broke my arm the next day skating outside that same movie theater. lol. Memories man. Keep skate shops the place to hang and network.
So much respect for you John. Internet shopping is so quick and easy but there's no connection there, David's idea of building community around the skateshop is a good one. Props to you and Bluetile for diversifying.
Aye I’m in this one! Also... I’m the guy that packs your PD orders everyone who’s ever received a PD shirt must follow me
haha thank you irving (:
Jiu jitsu is the same feeling. It weeds out quitters. Progression can be slow, but even small victories, landing a trick/catching someone with a new submission, awesome feeling.
yo i just want to say john that you were the reason that i started getting into skating i love watching your vids before i go skating and i just want to say thanks for the great content keep it up bro big ups!🤙😊👌
In my times we watch _VHS and play TonyHawk .... that was our motivation must of the youtubers and other skaters like Houston or Buffoni just want money
Nice pfp man
amazing thank you (:(:
@@kylehill9653 thanks guys i love the skating community please dont change
Thanks for being a leader in a world of full of anxiety of all kinds. (:
ah that rules hard to hear. skateboarding really helped alleviate that anxiety
I live 15 minutes from Bluetile and you help the shop out so much. Thank you 🙏 ❤️
Skateboarding does have a way of weeding out quitters! Steve-O with the wise quote damn.... who woulda thought?
Taking the train to the city, skate some nice spots like bank buildings and stuff, hang out at the skate shop sitting on our boards watching Wheels of Fire and Ban This and other films, and then go skate some more towards the train station. My perfect day when I was a kid!
Thanks for shedding more light on this side of skateboarding, most Australian skate shops have closed doors because of online buying
I’m miss meeting up at the shop most days and going for a shred even if it was a waxed gutter or just talking crap on the next big trick you wanted to film.
dude. I loved seeing everyone in this video. all the antics. seeing Dre!! I miss Dre! haha this was awesome.
I said the same thing! I miss Dre too...
Are you the guy from the video?
@@puggsterplayz9104 I think so! ha
I wish i had a local skate shop to hang out at, Skating isnt common here and id love to meet some people to skate with, when i see old videos of friends skating together it makes me both so happy and sad, and now that im at the tail end of my teenage years im kinda sad i missed all that
Theres a skate shop with a few branches down where i stay and the one close to me closed down. When i go through to the town shop i still get the good vibes and the community feel and the journey there is part of it!
6:14 that was such a good take on skateboarding dude. So true
thank you! Ollie and Kickflip are too hard as the first objective, there should be tricks kids know about that are easier.
Progress Daily true that!! Thanks for replying, It was awesome seeing you skate my local parks in Dallas! Keep shredding
I stopped skateboarding for approx 18 years, but still went around the world looking at stairsets and ledges and saw endless skate opportunities.
The quarantine made me skate again, but those skate opportunities are now mostly too difficult for me to skate, but I am slowly progressing back to form. Regardless if I ever get back, I am just glad I found my way back to skateboarding at 36 years old. ;)
What a great vid. My friend and I bought skateboards last week for the first time to enjoy outside in our small town. We took them to a random parking lot underground that had some cool ramps and I landed a horrible ollie and he tried a shove-it and hurt his foot now it's just me out there lol. I feel that I haven't learned nearly enough yet to enjoy myself but I also feel a craving to get out and keep trying. I sincerely wish I knew anyone else that was good at skateboarding that could teach me in person.
In rhode island in the late 90s and 2000s there was only The Underground.....that tacked onto an already existing skishop with skate and snowboard gear. It was sweet you would go from a well lit shop with open space and skis all over the walls for thousands of dollars down a wide staircase that had a corner in it that got darker as you went down into a semi dark cozy room with couches and bean bag chairs and a big low table with tv sets that had skate videos in vhs players running on a loop and skate shoes decks on the wall trucks and wheels in glass cases at the checkout counter and snowboards on the walls and a few low 360⁰ racks with jackets sweatshirts and t shirts. It was like an oasis such a great vibe i loved it. I think its all gone now but it was such a skaters little cave paradise.
Thank you so much for supporting the community in Columbia! It kills me skating is looked down on in the city. Such a great idea good looking out my man!
Having a skateshop i think is such an underrated privilege. Where I’m from there is no skateshop and the skate community has to drive an hour away just to get gear. Very inspiring video ❤️
I have a tiny local skate shop at my college, with the loveliest owner.. all the skaters go there and they all skate for the shop and it's just a lovely environment, and I have met many people there. Very lucky to still have that place to go with everyone getting on and having a great time.
Thank you John! This video made me actually go out and skate today!
That’s dope bring back skate shop feel!! Most of the ones up here it feels weird when I go in. I feel like an outsider or something. I sadly feel most at home when I go to CCS or Tactics. They don’t judge.
that's awesome, you have a CCS store? that's really cool
What's CCS ?! Is that a brand ?
Just keep going in to the local shops you kinda have to put yourself out there makes some friends with the local shop rats.
@@frenchgoldenboyfan yeah
The stock footage makes this video even greater haha
it made me laugh while editing so I figured it'd make some one else giggle
@@progressdaily100 For sure!
very interesting, I wasn't sure if other people experienced that path of skateboarding and it's cool to know other people have a strong passion too. Great vid:)
Good for you John. I felt like that growing up in western N.C. no skate shops around in the early 2000s. You still inspire me.
I have a shirt off that printer.
These are the best videos. Dave perspective is always interesting. His shoe business talk with Dale is one of my favorite videos.
What's next? For me it is keep learning and hopefully get some 40+ people off the couch and back on their boards. If not, I am still going to have a good time.
I've been ripping for 12 years. When you grow up in a place like I did (Northeast Ohio snowbelt). You have 2-3 indoor skateparks within 100 miles. You can't skate much 4 months out of the year from freezing temperatures and snow. The roads and sidewalks are royally fucked. The small handful of outdoor skateparks are just old few metal ramps, the concrete ones are mostly cracked, chunked and poorly made. I'm gonna be honest, skateboarding has been rapidly dying here. It's truly sad but towns and cities haven't been taking much initiative to implement and upkeep these establishments. There are no skateshops, and when there are, they don't last too long. Shred on. Stay humble. Be thankful, and thank you for doing what you can where you can and for who you can.
Damn b roll city 💪 flexing with voice overs I dig it
I remember first watching Braille when I was like 6, I bought a longboard and never went passed cruising on it. One day I had stumbled upon your channel while also meeting a new friend who had skated for years, I saw that it was difficult and I decided to go buy my first board. If I had never seen your channel I don’t think I would’ve ever been interested in skating, I’ve been skating for about 2 plus years and I’ve met so many cool people who have taught the best ways to do certain things, like stretching and workouts to increase endurance. Skating is a blessing to my life
Great video John and very excited to see PD progress... daily...? when all this business blows over
I learned to ride skateboard when I was 12 and then stopped. Now Im 22 and I just bought a cruiser (Arbor Sizzler) to chill around after work and I can't hide that I'm very excited even if I'm a lonely rider :D. It brings back good old memories.
Quality content of both this channel and on your main🤟🤟💯
Bro you are just killing it and that’s just too damn awesome
You probably don't Remember me but I met you in that skatepark in Brooklyn and you took a picture with me it was my birthday and I had gotten a skate board you are really inspiring and I look up to you. Recently I landed my first kickflip and it is all thanks to you.
Nobody owns skateboard industry. You did a good job for skateboarding community.
I live in the uk and I am new to skating. The scene here is so small there are few shops and only a small number of people to talk to. No one here skates street. Any tips to encourage them to skate street?
Hi, im not sure what area you are from but here in nottingham there is a fairly large skate scene and there are so few parks that almost everyone skates street. You just have to look for a decent spot and when you find one let people know about it. Flatground areas under bridges, benches wih a nice run up, car parks that have parking blocks and paths that stick out. Just look for something interesting and find a way to skate it to prove it can be done! Eventually other people will start to see the potential and gradually more skaters will start to skate street. Have fun :)
where u from bro
I have recently found a few new people and it is getting much easier to skate with people.
I love this discussion. I used to skate a whole lot for years. I had to quit because I kept hurting my hands. I got really into playing music, and cooking. I really want to start skating again, but I'm nervous about how crucial people can be. Your view is very motivating to, just do it, and forget about what others think.
ah! yeah it's hard to do anything else, when your wrist are sore and your palms are cut up
You have such a great talent for story telling. I am not a “skateboarder” I have an electric long board and a OneWheel. I’m a stay at home mom that grew up wanting to be a skater. But didn’t grow up in a city or town that could really nurture it. I grew up in the middle of nowhere on 30 acres and no internet. Anyways what I am getting at is as an “older” girl/lady I am really enjoying your content. I can only imagine had I been able to grow up with something like this. For now I will zip around on what I have.
This is such an incredibke video that covers so many different aspects of the industry. Very well done John 🙏
I’m from Paris and we casually all skate street everyday and for us skateparks are not the best places to skate 🤷♂️
@Roving Mauler depends... transition is a totally different type of skating, and I grew up skatimg huge flyboxes getting 6ft + of air. I was never into tech stuff and parks used to be different
I think it's good that people are putting back into the community. Keep it up progress daily!!!!!
Love all your content on Your other page and I’m amazed to see how much is getting put in. WOW ❤️🔥
Love it! Great idea, I hope its prosperous in both a monetary and community building way. Your passion for the culture is fantastic for all of us.
You're probably the smartest skateboarder I know, and I now understand where it comes from !
I wish there was a skateshop nearby i would hangout there al the time
That is incredible that there are skateboarders nowadays who don't understand the concept of street skating or even street skate for that matter like you mentioned. It's a weird thing to think about especially when it's essentially the backbone of the industry and how things are advertised in magazines.
Very impressed with your grass roots approach to skateboarding... culture etc.....
Hey big guy, SC resident here. Don't know about the Columbia scene, but in Charleston we're still building and kicking it hard. Come on down next time youre home visiting.
This video was awesome. I recently brought 2 skateboard ramps that we restored. My first goal is to learn the drop in of course. After that. Maybe the kickflip. My two questions on this comment are. How do you find awesome friends who actually enjoy skateboarding and not fake friends who are just in for popularity or clout? My second question is. How do you keep motivated through a school year, I find I am always caught up with homework or am really busy with something else? Thanks John if you answer this. Would be great.
I have been skating for around 2 1/2 years. I really love the challenge, exploration, and satisfaction that riding my skateboard offers. I have been going to my local skate park for around 2 years now and I always feel disconnected from the other skaters, whenever I skate around them and try to have a good time, I always feel like I don't belong there. I hit up some of the guys that skate the park regularly to see if they are down to skate. I almost always get a no, and some even lie that they left the park or the spot a half hour before I got there. It really bums me out because I feel those are the only other people in my community that share a common love for skateboarding. My question is how should skaters in my position go about finding friend in skateboarding, and how to connect with people in your local skate community to get to the next level of skateboarding (connections, flow, people to send tapes out, etc).?
Try going to different parks all around your city, there’s just some people that don’t click in life not just skateboarding. Keep talking to new people eventually you’ll find people that like the same things and have the same humor as you and that will be your crew.
you know, it's difficult. I found a few friends who wanted to skate with me and it worked out, but MOST of the columbia south carolina heads hated me, similarly to how a lot of people in the skate industry dislike me as well. If you can find a friend or two to ride with you, you're good. the idea is an exchange some how. i wanted to skate a certain area of the city, and i just messaged people asking to show me around, some one said yes, and we hit it off. I filmed a video, and a filmer wanted to film me, and we became brothers. if you get good enough at skating, people will wanna kick it with you, haha
I want to start my own skating company I been going at it for awhile now, just stuck on names and designs . just don't know where to start with the names
street skating for life
Hello sir, older video but catching up... not a skater but a car guy (probably even a niche of a niche of car guys) and can really relate to the content here, greatly appreciate what you’re doing for your community!
Just started skateboarding 2 months ago, I will never stop
Getting an electric longboard soon to just cruise on with my multiple herniated discs in my lower back. I am planning on starting with standing on the board for a couple days without having to sit down or stepping off. My goal is by the end of the year to be using the 3rd or 4th setting when I can. But at least be on the 2nd setting every night I ride.
❤️BLUETILE ❤️Progress Daily
I’m like on a stuck stage where I’m not learning anything new cuz I’m kinda scared of some of the things I want I’m focusing on getting the tricks I have now down completely until I start learning more🤷🏽♂️what should I do try learning or just stick with what I got now for a while
get the basic tricks down first
I love street skating. Like the exploration and just learning on the streets I feel like makes a learner cure with some not so nice areas to skate but I think once you get it you understand it even More
Yeah skate & explore is the way to go
Some of the best memories where hanging out at skateshop in early 04 05 that's needs to live on....thanks for this video and topic....😎👍
love hearing positive reinforcement from the skate community, im hoping to one day be able to open up my own shop to support my local town and skaters!!!!
Late to this but that was an honest man and an honest reply which i appreciate ten fold 👍🏻 it explains a lot how thing have changed in 15 yrs
I think im gonna start skating again. Thanks for inspiring me John and the PD team
John you have really helped me get into skating I always thought I have to go to a skate part and I don’t have and with in a 15 mile radius of my house but you taught me how to find skate street spots and now I am Ollieing off of Ledges and pop shoving it on the side walk near my local shops
that's really awesome! Heck yes (:
Props on the fakie ollie front board at 5:03
Dude street skating is the best man
ive never seen someone describe skateboarding so well
I continued to refresh the page until you posted lol
yeeessss you rule
As someone that's been skateboarding since mid 90s, I've always been somewhat on the fence about your stuff. This video brought me over the fence.
I love to see you progress.
Here I am considering opening a skate shop in my small town (also in SC, not Columbia) and you guys are talking me right out of it. lol. It's true though, you don't see many skaters around town anymore. When I was growing up, we were everywhere. Skate parks weren't really a thing. Like the video.
dude i remember going to my local skateshop back when i lived near willy's workshop in san diego. Willy chilling there and skating with people. the skate scene was so different 15+ years ago. I'm glad you reinvested back into the place that got you first inspired.
12:10 ouch lmaooo
