Hey Jonny, great vid been watching for a while. Me and my bro we’re trying casperflips and wondered if it was possible to do a casperflip down a stairset and hold the Casper as long as possible before rotating it back to catch it and land. Thought it would be a great challenge for you 1000th Vid, love your vids keep up the good work.
@Jonny Giger do you have tips on kickflip under flips you just uploaded a video on them and you landed a couple just wondering if you have any tips on the trick because my back foot keeps getting in the way and don’t know how to underflip it with the front foot any practice steps you know. Thanks!
My butt still hurts from watching the video. A trainer once told me that you can break your tailbone outward or inward when falling on your behind. If it broke outwards you have to push it in. Of course we asked what happens if you break it inwards. He replied by making the international gesture of putting on rubber gloves: 🤚 🤏
@originalprolikethat UK english is newer english. North American colonial dialects are from a mix of old peasant dialects and being forced to develop pigeon languages with Native-Americans. Native-Americans learning English and French has had a huge impact on how Americans, Canadians and Quebecois pronounce these words, but not as huge an impact as old peasant languages including scottish and irish dialects which is frankly cooler than what happened in Europe: the peasants in London and Paris all started speaking like royalty and the dialects and accents that Americans and Quebecois have today are now extinct in Britain and France even though that is where they are from.
@@gabfortin1976 For the most part, North American English varieties have for long been mixing and evolving, and don't have much, if hardly anything, to do anymore with the English spoken by the original colonists. However, the few linguistic islands that do are isolated places the communities of which have had less contact with the outside, like some mountaneous regions such as in the Appalachians, and remote coastal settlements in the north-eastern US for instance. And even with those, it's not like the English spoken there is _the_ same variety as in 17th century England, but rather that it still contains some traits that can be traced back there, which have long since disappeared elsewhere.
Getting back into skating after stopping about 27 yrs ago and your vids really put a smile on my face! These basics all ring familiar from back in the day. I'll be riding a big ass old school 1987 Hosoi re-issue, so it's gonna be slower tricks and less flipping, but at the tender age of 42 I'm gonna start nice and easy. 🤙 Thanks for uploading!
I'm 46 and recently started skating again after a 20+ year hiatus. Jonny's videos have helped me get re-acquainted with a lot of the tricks I landed with relative ease when I was 19 or 20. I feel like I'm executing a lot of these tricks far better than I did in my younger years, as the only people from whom I learned were my peers, not pros and/or RU-vidrs. After an hour of skating, I was able to ollie with decent (knee) height, pop shove it (both front and back), heel flip, nollie, switch ollie, half cab (both front and back), and 360 flip. Have fun, gentlemen!
@@Darren_S I'm almost 43. Started at 9, stopped when I was about 17, I think? Yeah musta been then. I got a girlfriend and figured there was a whoooole lot of other tricks I wanted to master. 😜 The bug never really left me, I guess. I'd always stop and look at skaters coming by, waiting for them to pop a trick. Now they'll be watching me, waiting to pop a hip.
@@shapeshiftah That's what I'm already thinking as well! Where was friggin YT when we were young, right? Jonny really shows how it's done. I feel like I'll be able to pull off shit that I never did before!
I just seen this post and agree 100% where was you tube when I was growing up skating. I am 40 now, and just decided to buy a new board and reignite my passion for skating. It haven't skated in about 18 years, and with the help of Jonny Giger, Braille, and YT, I have picked up what I could do then, and now more. I have now even got my kids into it too. I like the good and friendly atmosphere that is produced about skating nowadays, it a healthier sport than it used to be.
Finding your channel has brought my love of boarding back. At 31 with bad legs and plantar fascitis it's a bit of a struggle but I'm loving being back on the board again. Keep up the good content Jonny!
Thank you so much for this video. My 8 year old daughter landed the 'flip on' first try and it gave her so much confidence and joy. So simple and so much fun, that's what is going to inspire people to get into skateboarding.
I love your attitude. You explained things in such way that didn't made me feel dumb for being a beginner & didn't frighten me that I'm inadequate to do these :') Exactly what I needed to go out and try these! :)
I havent skated in years and Im all chonky now. But I live vicariously through yall. I remember when I could do some tricks. Now a days. Hell no. Id die.
Some cheap (dollar shop) decks are actually quite hard to ride, because they don't have that bounce to them and the griptape is trash as well. Getting something decent makes more sense in skateboarding than in nearly any other sport.

My dude. Great first tricks to learn when you're first starting out.I remember struggling with to learn flips and shuv-its, but flip-ons, casper spins, and casper flips made feel like I was actually progressing. Those really helped me with manuals as well.
This is a great map out of how learning to skateboard looks like. Im only 4 months in but this was naturally the route I’ve taken so far in my journey!
Thanks for the great videos - this and all the others. You actually made me buy my first skateboard in like 20 years. Got it today and I‘m stoked. These tricks will be a good start 😊 keep up the great work! Greetings from Berlin
Just want to say thank you Jonny, I've just bought my first Board after not skating for 17 years (I'm 32 next month) these types of videos are helping me massively! I also want to say thank you as you're the inspiration for me getting back into Skating. Much love dude
I'm 31. Haven't skated in 9 years but picking it up again. I've the same skills pretty much but my confidence is very low. Serious commitment issues on trick attempts.
Haven't been on a deck since I was 17, making that 24 years ago. Worked recently in the Scarborough precinct here in Perth and I itched at the feeling of getting back on a deck after drawing inspiration from a fifty five year old skater after watching him in the Snake Pit bowl. Got my old Powell Peralta out yesterday and indeed I suck, can't even claim I'm rusty. Bought a cheap double-kick today and are starting to carve it up like I used to. Never lose the skater in you, but certainly lose the strength and coordination! Cheers for this video Jonny. Tips I've got to relearn!!!!
I have the same problem, i have found like 2 skate spots by skating through my town. I recommend being with a friend, doesn't even need to be someone who skates. 😊
Thank you Johnny! These tips will help me build confidence to land on my board while doing flip tricks! Im 30 years old, 6'4", and wear a size 15 shoe. I appreciate all that you do because I am improving. So again Thank You!
I just bought this board!! Got it’s coming in the mail it’s gonna be my first genuine custom, I saw the design n thought it was dope then I saw it was yours had to get it 🤙🏽
Great video for me and many others. I skated back in my youth around 8 or 9, just riding around, cruising the neighborhood then around my teens got into it, got hurt a lot, stopped, then got back into it for a year or so along with surfing around 23. Quit again cause of work, family, bills, kids, LIFE. Now I am 34 just got another board again, but I feel so out of place riding in my driveway, I feel like I am 15 again, but that makes me feel kind of good, but I seriously suck. Can ollie, and that's about it. My back and legs hurt too :(
Caveman, boneless and nose-grab flips are super fun tricks that I like to do to warm-up. Also you can do so many different variations, 180s, over gaps, drops, onto obstacles, off them, where ever. I'm still working on my no comply 180's but I can do it as a nosegrab variant, maybe not as cool, but still a trick. These easy tricks also make you learn so much more board control, which will be very useful when learning flip tricks.
Great Video! I'm am learning how to skate at age 34 ... Since 2 weeks! And I don't know how to Ollie yet so those tricks are perfect for getting more comfortable on the board! Great video! Danke und Grüsse aus Deutschland :)
great list and amazing explanation.. this was my year one essentially.. one trick I loved and many others but especially this one was 'acid drops' and any variety, so fun. Or strawberry milkshake I teach everyone that one because it literally takes a minute or two and people are like 'damn I can do this.'
Hello there Jonny, could you do a video with your fav tunes to listen to or share a spotify list? Really enjoying your videos and your genuine spirit and positivity, never fails to make me smile back!
Thanks Jonny, this is a very helpful video to improve my skills. It would be a little bit better, if you do some tricks also in goofy stance, because it helps a lot for beginners like me to learn immediately from your channel and not to switch to Braille Skateboarding in order to look at the difference. Cheers! 😎
The names of all the tricks you've changed so much since I used to skateboard in the mid 90s. We used to call the board slide, a rail slide. We called the tic tac, teeter-totter. Of course all the terms still exists like manual , nose manual, olie impossible, front foot impossible, , fifty-fifty grind and stuff like that.
I was going to do this for myself but I figured it might help others so here you go :) good luck! 1. 0:33 - Flip Up 2. 2:33 - Tic Tac 3. 3:22 - Manual 4. 4:08 - Kickturn 5. 5:24 - Revert 6. 5:51 - Boneless 7. 6:55 - Caveman 8. 7:53 - Rail Stall 9. 9:18 - Biebleheimer 10. 10:34 - Step Off Kickflip 11. 11:15 - Tail stall Kickflip? Lmao
