The Dangers Of Street Skating Alone 

I don't know who does the editing, but props to them because I love how the skating and music sync up really well with one another!

As someone who just moved to the area and has been watching your videos since 2015 I literally thrive watching your videos for new spots and stuff in the dfw

Dude... fully committing to a 360 flip on a small rock like you did at 3:14 holy moly that is scary lol. Props and much love keep up the videos

Your reaction to that guy is what I'm striving towards - you have no enemies my friend ❤

11:10 hell of a landing John. Interesting how every building seems to have security to run skateboarders off, it’s a shame. Also sad to see the homelessness but it’s a reality until this country addresses mental health and other issues. Great video!

my Texas family members got really defensive when I informed them that Dallas was a dump. I'm not surprised you were sketched out. you need to roll around strapped if you're gonna go filming there. it's an open carry state. I know it seems extreme but so many people there are either packing heat or are mentally unwell. .380 is a good self defense caliber. one love

I love your style. I prefer smooth skating over crazy flip tricks and big air. It is just so smooth and satisfying

I remember growing up skating & stuff. I feel like I had this one friend who tried stuff he was never ever going to land bc he wasn’t as good as he thought he was. And I was a filmer so for me it was pretty frustrating back then. Especially with having tapes and everything. I wish I had friends like you & your skill level growing up. You have such a good attitude too with skating. The ppl I knew thought they were better than everyone all the time. It was weird.

4:37 it's so nice how the pop and the landing sync up with the music! Super satisfying

I enjoy watching your videos. And that Nollie flip felt so good because it was absolutely perfect. Everything about it was textbook. Good stuff!

Yo my dude been watching your videos since you started , so glad to see you still doing your thang. Keep it up dawwg 🤘

In a lot of those Urban environments, the people don't see a skateboarder, they see an opportunity.

The downtown/plaza footage is so much more appealing than the skatepark stuff

Hello John👋🏽 💯🤗 Awesome video I really enjoy this! You kill it bro and I’m hyped! Thanks. I feel you on this topic👌🏽 And I like skating DT spots as well.

As a non-Texan seeing the sweat-drips when you're mid skate sesh is insane. It legitimately looks like you're skating in a sauna. Switch FS flip at the end was redonkulusly clean

Been a fan since the glass wheels video. Good to come back and see you're still bringing quality skateboarding content years later. Much love and respect john.

Love the video’s. Great content.

Youre so goated John! Hope life is treating you well

your videos are so calming to me

Bro this brought back so many memories of skating downtown with the homies. We used to go to Eisenbergs skatepark in plano and take the train downtown and skate there all day while our parents thought we were at Eisenbergs!

I'll always love Dallas💖 It can be a scary place, but as with most things in life, dealing with a little danger leads to good things. Glad you stayed safe pardner🤠

Great style!

Great vibes bro...... Killers .....

Bout to go skate by myself in downtown haha, appreciate this. 🎉

I love your humbleness 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Yea man I always tell myself life has already sorted us out to a degree so if someone gets to me I think they probably have their own issues and usually end up just moving on quickly sometimes I get caught up as we do but for the most part it helps to keep me positive

The nollie flip cartwheel bail had me rolling lol. Loving the content John!

Hi! You handled the aggressor perfectly! You skillfully avoided confrontation and prevented violence! That's a real win! This is what noble people do. Be healthy and God bless you!

You have no idea how much it messes with my head to see you skate that six stair with that arch, I was visiting Dallas just a month ago to see my girlfriend and I took a picture there, crazy seeing it in one of your videos, love your stuff man

congrats! you've inspired me to pick up skateboarding again lol gj

that fakie flip at the last stair set was mad enjoyable to see

Killin dude!

Man John's style is so nice 🌊

The white building (w/ stairs) on the left side in the shot at 2:17 is the former Dallas City Hall/Police Headquarters. It was in the basement of that building where Jack Ruby murdered Lee Harvey Oswald as he was being escorted to an armored vehicle for transportation to the county jail, two days after Oswald was accused of the assassination of President JFK.

Love that you’re wearing a Storror shirt!

The Monster Walk. at 8:08 is ridiculous but awesome!

Thanks for the shout out, dude. Definitely better to skate on Sundays, haha. If you ever come up to the Denver area, hit me up let’s skate! 🤘❤️🛹

I’ve watched a couple of your videos since I drove you home from DFW the other night. When you told me your channel and I looked and saw how big it is, blew me away and is cool to have met a normal guy but who is that popular! Now I just need you to teach a 50 year old how to skateboard haha

Love the explore the city videos!

Come to San Angelo, there’s a lot of spots that are not touched and has a lot of potential

Hey bro will you make a video on tip tricks for grinds like crooks & back smiths ?

man i been on a binge watching skate videos because its been raining almost for 2 weeks now here in Maine and hasnt been dry when im not working

Dude, this is so true!

Love the Storror shirt that he’s was wearing 11:45 , would be cool to see a collab at some point 😉

Bro if you want some company skating downtown on a Sunday I’ll go out with you. I can really only cruise these days. But I do photography and would love to shoot some stills of you skating. I’ve always thought about skating all these spots when walking around.

Always wanted to skate that spot, I'll come fix it!

Those tricks down that 6 was insane bro 😮 you’re wild

John keep up the great work

4:35 was some nice synchronization with the music

0:11 beautifully candid

I always used to prefer street skating even with friends but as an adult alone I’m always worried about getting bothered or charged/a ticket. Luckily there’s a good small park in my area but prefer to go when it’s empty since most there are teens with bmx or scooter kids. Back in another city when younger I was encouraged & taught to go down big ramps by an older skater tho

I hate that one of the hardest parts of skating is dealing with other people, great video!

we looooove it whenever a city decides to say "fuck it lets smash that dumb sk8bort DIY that isn't bothering anything or anyone" looking at you right now Charlotte 😂

Sick session 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🏻

Rocking the Storror merch. Respect👌👍

these videos never get old

0:06 bro i like how jhon is so calm john could f that man up but decided to not respect💪

That switch fs flip was dreams

4:07 bro he is just WAITING for you to try it 😂

Dude you have a clean style and I want to see a street part from you

That may be one of the best sw fs flips I’ve ever seen. So dope.

you rock! progress daily baby!

I had personal experience with this and talked to a few cops about that. Yes it’s a nice way to say stop. Not only that but when is was driving I was going a bit fast but because I was aware of surroundings I moved over but noticed the cop was still in the left lane just behind me watching but I stayed under the limit and they passed me later.

I have seen you one time at double decker in Fayetteville, North Carolina so many years back. Been watching you forever

Man, crazy seeing you skate locations I've been to.

John hill is, and forever will be, the king of thumbnails

Dude how are you this good?!! I mean, I know but it still baffles me

i could not do this where i live hahaha im getting robbed of all my stuff, such a dope edit right here for real.

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS

i thought the title said the dangers of john hill and i was like who throwin drama today

shoutout bluetile

it's rough for skaters out here in dallas

Also the storror tee 😱

Word to the wise re: your interaction with the guy trying to get a light: Don't let sympathy, generosity, or a sense of nobility get you in trouble. Don't ever get within arm's reach of a stranger in a situation like that. Homelessness, crime, drugs, mental illness, and violence can swirl together in a sad, ugly stew, especially in city centers, and you can find yourself robbed or attacked in a heartbeat.

A similar thing happened to bridge spot in DC, dope DIY ramps under a bridge 10-15 years ago, homeless encampment now. Sad to lose an awesome DIY skate spot like that, obviously even sadder that homelessness is even a thing of course.

I feel this hard, I was in San Antonio filming at a ledge by the river and somebody grabbed my cell phone and took off on a bicycle and I had to grab the camera, skate full speed after him and physically confront the dude to get my phone.

Dude I had the shittiest session today, it was like I forgot how to kickflip or something. I landed only a handful, I was high key bummed. Watching your vids always helps me feel better though, very humbel and professional. Switch is the devil though, I refuse to touch it lol

The only thing dangerous about skating alone is getting severely hurt and not having a buddy to help you out and help you get back to your car.

dude you so beast, you should do a video where you show how you commit to skating stairs!!!!!!!!!

1:28 made me laugh so hard lmao

8:35 that looks like it would be a great wall-ride spot.

Haha this exact same thing happened to me at a skate park in W Oakland. It’s an encampment now.

we bmx dudes waxed most of those ledges that you said slide so well ps i use metal pegs

sweating like crazy damn

0:39 Dam

That’s Dallas for ya

It’s sad that people can’t just leave others alone in big cities. I live outside STL and not only will I not skate the city anymore, I won’t even go there to eat, festivals or ball games. To sketchy, easily robbed or worse.

tanjiro inspiring fr fr

9:00 does a perfect cartwheel

If you ever film a downtown edit of San Antonio I got you 🤘🏽on some spots/skating/guide

Great video, it felt more in the moment.

You’re so mature John. Id just bring a weapon. Not taking my camera.

what are the clips you found from the DIY from?

Glad you moved to my city I really hope you have your trusty pew pew with you please stay safe bro

Filming ourselves while skating, doesn't feel as alone though, somehow. But skating alone without filming takes a lot of motivation I find.

when u see security kicking you out you have to use Talk no Jutsu. Cant argue with that one

Wow that was Absolutely Amazing 🙂

9:25 so Reynolds!

My dream is to see John Hill during a skate sesh. I just want to scream, "KEEP KILLIN IIIT!" then just let the man be. Thanks for the great content and inspiration to get me out there and find new spots to skate. Hope to see you skate anywhere in Houston again.♥

Mhm the fact you rocking the storror shirt makes me Happy inside
