My favorite thing about your videos is it feels like we're just hanging out watching your clips together. You've got a good style and your narrating is very friendly
I have been skating for 42 years! So believe me when I tell you Jonny is by far one of my favorite skaters on the planet earth!! Definitely in my top five! @10:29
I once broke a front tooth in two pieces because my board popped in my face. Bidden in my lip so there was a lot of blood and the tooth got glued later haha
I knew you were my favorite favourite when you put a bukowski poem instead of a song. My goodness. You're so rad man. I'm 34 and have been skating since I was 11. Your videos make me feel nostalgic because you are so amped on skating which I used to be and am currently trying to get there again. Keep up everything you're doing. Thank you very much.
I have been skating for about thirty years and I have to say that Jonny Gieger is one of the very best that I have seen. Even the very best skaters slam every now and again. My condolences on the injuries. Sometimes it is the little stuff that really gets you - my worst injury/slam was on the night that I learned frontside noseslides. I had just gotten into my third of fourth slide and I pushed out and fell dislocating my ring finger.
Just recently started skating again after about 10 years or so and I’ve gained a considerable amount of weight since then. This, in turn, has made the most basic tricks that I used to nail about 10x harder. First day, tried to kick flip, bodied so hard a got a huge road rash on my leg and hip. Second day, tried doing a fs 180, landed super hard on my wrist and nearly sprained it. Third day, tried kick flipping again, landed on the same wrist and it hasn’t stopped hurting since. That was about 3 weeks ago. Hoping the rain stops so I can try again and inevitably injure myself again
Jonny your the man. You the type of person people look up to. Your so good you rarely fall. Thank you for your time .much love keep it real and stay warm!!
Every time I see someone hurt their legs while skating I always recommend the routine that my physical therapist gave to me after my ACL injury. wall squats, lunges, and one legged squats. That combined with riding a bike regularly will give you steel ankles. Trust me on this. If you did this routine every time you skate it would change your skating.
Keep up the outstanding work ! highly motivational if you been watching the Gigers Feed !!! :) its always good to know how much you put in for the sport and for you to show others how much it Takes..... LOVE AND RESPECT.
Nasty. I was once ran off the road by a passing car that swerved at me. I was going down a pretty steep hill and when I swerved I lost control and ended up doing a swan dive head first into the curb. When I woke up I had a pop knot on my forehead the size of a grapefruit and couldn't remember where I was or lived. I was about 13 and just getting into skating (I'm almost 40 now). When I did start to think strait I made it home and my brothers and mom freaked out! Bad concussion. Nothing busted. Took a bit of begging my mom to skate again. I still love it. That feeling you have when you nail a trick or mean gap that was kicking your ass.
Doc will just ask if you remember what happened before and after the accident. If it's bad enough they would go further to look for skull fracture or brain damage. If your memory is intact and you don't need stitches, there's nothing else for them to do other than suggest you stop slamming your head. Small hits that don't need any medical attention still add up over time to noticeable brain damage.
Just ask yourself... Am I tripping? If the answer is yes and you haven’t eaten hallucinogens, drink some water and take it easy for a week, because you are concussed.
@@recession81 yeah...me: "was the doc already here?" my GF: "he just left 10 seconds ago!", Me: "don´t BS me!"...I could not remember shite for about 12 hours...
Had the same exact bail my first day out on a modern geometry bmx... super sketchy steering crossed me up on a jump, came down face first, wrists/elbows second in an alley, lol. Glad you're ok!
I've recently gotten back into skateboarding after not doing it since I was a kid. Im 26 now and have been riding freestyle and downhill longboard from the age of 17 until 23. I've had some hard slams in high speeds but this one is just brutal. Your face tanked that, hard. Oof glad you didn't hurt yourself bad on that one. Like you I had never broken a bone before I started skating vert again. I guess my body was quite stiff after some years of inactivity and I was also wearing a watch. Yeah rip wrist. Haha. Love your videos man. It's what got me back out there on the board to try and finally land a 360flip ^^
My tip for twisted ankle: Keep the shoe on and make it tight, especially during upcoming night. This prevents swelling. In 10 years of skateboarding I tried several therapies. This has worked best by far!
I am 10 month late but no problem Actually it's a good way only if you just rolled your ankle ( distended articulation ) because of immobilisition. But if there is anything else than that, your ankle will take volume( inflate ), and if you keep the shoes on, your ankle will not inflate correctly and it can be very very bad... So right after the rolled ankle, take anti-inflammatory ( if you can not a big problem if you do not have some ), wait 2 or 3 hours for your ankle to return to a normal volume and then put a shoe or whatever you want to immobilate your ankle Just an advice
I feel you, Johnny. Several years ago I tried to bs power(blunt)slide out of a munual on pretty slippery flatground, lost control of course, slipped my front foot off, tripped, leaned over my board and with my back foot hit the tail. No need to say my board went straight to my face. Chopped one front tooth in half and with the other I bit my lip right through.
premos are a direct result of full send commitment and only that lol. you don't premo if you don't fully commit so really a lot of premos man is a testament to your dedication to the thing you love. which now makes me see exactly how much the saying "love hurts" is so true lol.
Jonny, If you start feeling stomach nausea, sensitivity to light, difficulty with physical balance, difficulty concentrating, please go see a doctor. You probably have a mild concussion anyway, but be safe. With a head impact, the crystals in the inner ear that regulate equilibrium can be displaced, and it takes physical therapy techniques to correct. Be well soon!
I feel your pain! I done similar, not as worse but similar! On a Rock Fakie, was trying all day at an indoor park, had the last few goes before I left, stuck it on one of them and as I was rolling away I turned to the guys I came with to celebrate and ended up slipping out falling tail side and face meet floor, floor meet face! My eyebrow split into 2 that day!!
I've been hurt skating but never broke anything when I skated everyday. It was after quite a few years of not skating that I was just showing the neighborhood kids some things that I fell from a 50 50 stall and broke my wrist. Had two pins the size of framing nails that the Dr pulled out with pliers after it healed. So gross feeling the grinding of metal on bone.
reminds me of my nose wheelie to no hands face plant on a road bike years ago - was bleeding from my forehead, nose and lip and my left front tooth got slightly loose... tightened itself up again within 2 weeks or so... and only thing i ever broke was my ring finger... school sports... soccer... most dangerous sport ever ;)
classic my....sakted a year, 15years ago and just restarted about one and a half years ago...since that time about ten bad ancle rolls, a broken hip, three broken ribs (pretty similar with your ledge bail) and two times I got a tiny break in my right ellbow...and I´m allmost only skating flat, low ledges, tiny stair sets and pretty small ramps xD But hey you´ve gotta pay to play^^
@@martabubiak5768 over committing. Not bailing in time. Having the mindset that I'm either gonna land this shit or die trying. Yes I wear a helmet. Everything else will heal.
I used to go to a park that had a wall (like a really steep quarter pipe) which I loved to ride on inline skates. One day I did a faceplant and since then never touched the sport again. May have been different if I wore a helmet
Big fan, Jonny. Love the no comply to tail session. What is the track playing in the background? I've heard it in at least one other clip of yours. Thanks from this old dude (shredding since '87).
dude, i dislocated my elbow slipping out from a bs bigspin on flat last year.... I do bs bigspins all the time, and it happened on a day i was having a good skate day too... worst pain ive ever felt in my life, but i respect skateboarding even more because of that moment... I bet you feel the same way too!
I don't recommend breaking a bone. Last summer I bought a skateboard with the intention of getting back into it but two weeks later I rolled my ankle playing football and it dislocated my ankle which also broke my leg, I'm still out of action 6 months later with two pins and and a plate in there. Maybe next summer I'll try again, wish me luck :) Great video as always and take care of those ankles!
I have to say... once I got past "Fuck that sucks for Johnny...' I had to watch the guys in the background. Turns a horror video into a comedy video. lol
the fall gave me the worst flashback to my first day at a park where I fell doing a kick turn on a ramp and broke my tooth... the fall was the exact same.... seeing this was like reliving my fall it was awful...... except at least Jonny fell doing something cooler than a kick turn......
Thanks for the videos Jonny. I skated some 30 years ago and ended my career without a single ollie :) I didn't know what ollie was, no material, nothing. After watching your videos, now I'm hoping to pop one, hopefully without breaking a bone. Is it possible to shoot super slow motion of those tricks? Like, a drone did in some of your videos? Especially, in Impossible Tricks series. Thanks man.
Ahh u said it u were in Vienna. Nice come to Austria and skate the neusiedl am See skatepark lemme know when u go there pls. It's less than an hour from vienna
My worse fall was doing a stupid Ollie down a 5ft tall bank to flat, only thing was that before you could gap off the top of the bank, you had to Ollie over a stupid like curb lip at the top. It was only like 8 inche curb but for some reason having to do a trick over something then having to gap a ledge always threw me off rhythm. In example, it was like having to Ollie over a deck before you could clear a decent gap. Sounds pretty simple but man I hated gaps like that🤣 I rolled the crap out of my ankle that day. I'm just glad my car back then was automatic 😂😂
Damn that looked painful!😬 The worst thing that happened to me while skating was when I tried to do nollie tre with much more speed than usual and this lady came on the line from the corner with her child while I was in the air and I didnt want to run them over so i slipped and broke my radius in three pieces. That really sucked.🤕
My worst bail I was 14 doing a kick flip down a 4 stair bailed a let the board land in between my feet as I walking running trying to avoid stepping on it I slammed my head into a huge metal air conditioner unit. Had to 3 inch long gashes on my forehead it knocked me out for about a minute. Didn’t get stitches. Still have scars 16 years later!!! Definitely my worst bail
I've done the EXACT same thing and I split the top part of my eyelid wide open. Six stitches to get it back together and I am never waxing the ledge again if I'm doing a kickflip BS tail.
I know I am late to this all. Just last week rolled my ankle and tore my ligaments. So now while I can't skate really I am just generally doing some research. Interestingly enough I was reading up on ankle stabilizers and found out that using those can increase the risk knee injury. The ankle is a mobile joint. the knee not so much. so if you restrict movement too much the danger is that instead of rolling your ankle you jerk the whole lower leg which in turn can damage Knee ligaments which are a lot more complex to heal. So now the question is how much stabilisation is okay? I actually have no answer to this but I think it's a valid question. And an important thing to bring up.
BMXer here. I have broken around 9 bones. I think the big difference between bmx and skateboarding is that when we need to bail we have a giant hunk of metal to try and dodge.
Call me crazy or even pull your hair out if you are (or was) a judge in skating comps, but here's my opinion: landing one-footed unintentionally but still roll away without placing your other foot on the ground (like Giger did at 5:09) shouldn't be considered sketchy, but fucking incredible. You're landing out of balance, with a giant chance of slipping and bailing, but that didn't stop you. You committed hard to landing the trick. You did so in an incredibly hard way (why don't people do more one-foot-landing tricks? Because it's fucking hard to don't get your teeth bashed in), and for that, I'd give mad props. Landing a flip over a gap one footed is WAY HARDER than doing it the normal way, so if (in a comp or something like that) two dudes did the same trick over the same gap but one landed with both feet in the board and the other with only one, I'd give higher praise to the dude that rolled away with higher odds of bailing.
hey johnny, the issue was the paint on the ledge. if you look closely you can see your wheels digging in. You should bring it up to the people that run the park, ask them if they can remove the paint from 3 inches of the side to the top. in general if its a quick bump you wont notice, until your your wheels heat up from friction and soften the paint, then you stick. if their insurance requires it ask them to try and use some high temp paint, see if that helps. in your slow mo portion if you look closely you can see the shine from the wheels heating the paint. the shiney areas are every spot it is sticking
Come on, man, this is skateboarding. What kind of a dickhead are you going to look saying to the skatepark, "it was your paint job that knocked my teeth out, not the fact that I bailed hard". No amount of internet crusaders behind you is going to cushion the rep loss from that kind of situation. Just think before you type...
@@carlkamuti im not blaming anyone or anything, this is simply pointing out a problem that is easily fixed. Also i never mentioned taking any actions against the park or defaming them in anyway. All i did was simply point out a problem that they are not aware of and provided a simple solution. Probably saving them from a lawsuit by someone who would hold that against them. Have you not seen all the issues with kids at these parks? you do not think their parents will do something if it happened?
The best thing about the fall is the reaction of the guys in the background
oopela 🏥😂🥴 🚑
Just thinking that myself. Mah!
go to the slow mo clip of the slam and the song saying ooh is in sync with the guy in the back
12 min for something that could of been 30 seconds.
Yup. They probably heard that shit.
My favorite thing about your videos is it feels like we're just hanging out watching your clips together. You've got a good style and your narrating is very friendly
Only Jonny Giger can miss an ollie then stomp a tre flip right after
Guys on the ramp probably felt that fall judging by their faces :D
Pesymista yeah they did 😂

Get well soon bro, that bail was nasty, it hurts so much more after a bail when you know you could have prevented it, much love from New Zealand!
any head injury- get triple checked by the doctor
I had a concussion before it's no joke
Doc will just ask if you remember what happened before and after the accident. If it's bad enough they would go further to look for skull fracture or brain damage. If your memory is intact and you don't need stitches, there's nothing else for them to do other than suggest you stop slamming your head.

Just discovered your videos a few days ago. Love watching you skate, dude.
Ouch. Rest up, hope you have quick recovery!
That poem was so great dude I did not expect that it was literally beautiful
Charles Bukowski - Bluebird
it's a pretty poem; I find it a nice solidarity to pain and stoic responses to it
Great Poem by Charles Bukowski "Bluebird". "Law" by Bukowski is an amazing poem as well.

Glad you are ok Jonny. Rest up bro, you need it after that one!
Let's just forget the bail for a second... You're progressing like crazy! Looking forward to check out your new part.
My tip for twisted ankle: Keep the shoe on and make it tight, especially during upcoming night. This prevents swelling. In 10 years of skateboarding I tried several therapies. This has worked best by far!
I am 10 month late but no problem
Actually it's a good way only if you just rolled your ankle ( distended articulation ) because of immobilisition.
But if there is anything else than that, your ankle will take volume( inflate ), and if you keep the shoes on, your ankle will not inflate correctly and it can be very very bad...
So right after the rolled ankle, take anti-inflammatory ( if you can not a big problem if you do not have some ), wait 2 or 3 hours for your ankle to return to a normal volume and then put a shoe or whatever you want to immobilate your ankle
Just an advice
Now I’m really happy I got some Nike Mid Top Blazers for that reason.
I feel you, Johnny. Several years ago I tried to bs power(blunt)slide out of a munual on pretty slippery flatground, lost control of course, slipped my front foot off, tripped, leaned over my board and with my back foot hit the tail. No need to say my board went straight to my face. Chopped one front tooth in half and with the other I bit my lip right through.
Thx for sharing the Bluebird poem,
Rolled my ankle once over only a 3 steps gap, It broke my foot and the ankle.
Hightops help with ankle stability. Just a tip, not the best look but damn, nothing worse than ankle sprains
That looked like it sucked, glad to see you're ok. I once fell doing an old school trick on a 15ft very and cracked 2 ribs and bruised my left lung.
premos are a direct result of full send commitment and only that lol. you don't premo if you don't fully commit so really a lot of premos man is a testament to your dedication to the thing you love. which now makes me see exactly how much the saying "love hurts" is so true lol.

Interestingly enough I was reading up on ankle stabilizers and found out that using those can increase the risk knee injury. The ankle is a mobile joint. the knee not so much. so if you restrict movement too much the danger is that instead of rolling your ankle you jerk the whole lower leg which in turn can damage Knee ligaments which are a lot more complex to heal.
So now the question is how much stabilisation is okay? I actually have no answer to this but I think it's a valid question. And an important thing to bring up.
That Majora’s mask grip tape is so sick. Love it
You're a legend Jonny. You just didn't realized yet.
Damn! All things considered, you look okay! You could be rocking the Manny Santiago look. That nollie tre was so beautiful.
Hahah I too have only broke a pinkie and can’t remember which one
Get well soon Jonny 👍
Jue80 thanks man! 🙏🏼✌🏻
Slippery polished floors always scare me. Hope you heal quickly
Just broke my ankle 2 days ago skating and then RUclips recommends me this video... thanks 😂
came for the bail, stayed for the personality
BMXer here. I have broken around 9 bones. I think the big difference between bmx and skateboarding is that when we need to bail we have a giant hunk of metal to try and dodge.
I've always thought you were the god of committing and when you stuck it down that stair set it was proof 😂
i was trying lipslides, miss placed my feet and i sprung the board off the rail nose first into my face, looked like the joket for a while
Man, I love this guy.
Call me crazy or even pull your hair out if you are (or was) a judge in skating comps, but here's my opinion: landing one-footed unintentionally but still roll away without placing your other foot on the ground (like Giger did at 5:09) shouldn't be considered sketchy, but fucking incredible. You're landing out of balance, with a giant chance of slipping and bailing, but that didn't stop you. You committed hard to landing the trick. You did so in an incredibly hard way (why don't people do more one-foot-landing tricks? Because it's fucking hard to don't get your teeth bashed in), and for that, I'd give mad props. Landing a flip over a gap one footed is WAY HARDER than doing it the normal way, so if (in a comp or something like that) two dudes did the same trick over the same gap but one landed with both feet in the board and the other with only one, I'd give higher praise to the dude that rolled away with higher odds of bailing.
hey johnny, the issue was the paint on the ledge. if you look closely you can see your wheels digging in. You should bring it up to the people that run the park, ask them if they can remove the paint from 3 inches of the side to the top. in general if its a quick bump you wont notice, until your your wheels heat up from friction and soften the paint, then you stick. if their insurance requires it ask them to try and use some high temp paint, see if that helps. in your slow mo portion if you look closely you can see the shine from the wheels heating the paint. the shiney areas are every spot it is sticking
Come on, man, this is skateboarding. What kind of a dickhead are you going to look saying to the skatepark, "it was your paint job that knocked my teeth out, not the fact that I bailed hard". No amount of internet crusaders behind you is going to cushion the rep loss from that kind of situation. Just think before you type...
Jason Pressler jesus you are the sherlock homes of ledge skating 🕵️♂️ 🙏🏼✌🏻❤️
@@carlkamuti im not blaming anyone or anything, this is simply pointing out a problem that is easily fixed. Also i never mentioned taking any actions against the park or defaming them in anyway. All i did was simply point out a problem that they are not aware of and provided a simple solution. Probably saving them from a lawsuit by someone who would hold that against them. Have you not seen all the issues with kids at these parks? you do not think their parents will do something if it happened?
@@jasonpressler7111 Not here in Europe, mate.
