Your videos are so chill, and no stupid unnecessary drama. Great content. 😊
I’m an old-school skater so I love my deck rails and they do make it easier plus keeps the graphic nicer keep killing it
Cheater… jk
Remember nose guards, tail blocks and copers? Useless. 😂
@@himebaughchris4026 if it doesn’t cause or catch fire I don’t want it
There called rails. NOT deck rails. Always been that way always will be. Rails. Thats it. Ur not that old school if you call them deck rails.
Yeah but it just looks kinda ugly imo on the board
12:09 was so impressive!! I used to do tail slides when I skated more often before 2010. Just started skating again a couple years ago, and really got back into it this summer with my brother before I turned 39. My goal for 2024 is to get a solid tail slide (for me maybe more than a couple feet) I was able to get a mini few inch tail slide back on the 4th and “felt” the slide! Was so stoked, had been over a decade since so felt that feeling. This video gives me hope for at least a couple feet long slide!
I like the rebellion ways and your totally right about the aspect of street skating brother💯
I had such a bad day but all the stress and anger was gone when i was wachting ur video. Love your content for years now, u keep me rollin even its not easy with work and stuff like this. Much love
Calling rails cheating is no different from calling wax cheating
Edit : if skateboarding is about doing whatever you want and expressing yourself how is there even cheating
took the words out of my mouth. amen
Wax is cheating
But wax is actually necessary sometimes whereas rails will never be a necessity ..
Taking footage you took of your friend doing a trick off a skyscraper over a helicopter on to another skyscraper and then passing it off as your own clip then going pro off of it is cheating.

Duuuuuuuude that tailslide heelflip out was so sick 😮😮🔥
13:50 Totally agree on that view of skating. I love the tinkering on the board with what the environment has to offer. I think looking into the "athletics" of skateboarding has been huge for my improvement on the board and I think helped expand how creative I can be. I started it up as a hobby almost 4 years ago while overweight and in the the last year I came to the conclusion that I want to improve, a lot, and I feel like I could; but my body wasn't catching up to how fast I was grasping the concepts on the board mentally. I've seen so much more on-board improvement by training my body off-board and the tinkering has been more fun because of it. I do look at the skatepark as like a gym and that it's for training, but I have so much fun in the gym jamming to music and improving, similarly to skateboarding, that I never don't have fun doing either; at least in the moment. Sometimes I do loathe getting ready and going to the gym or the park, but being there I almost usually have fun. Unless I get hurt-hurt lol. Guess what I'm trying to say is if your skateboarding and not having fun, maybe its not really skateboarding anymore.
the tailslide flip out was sick af. ngl I'm content with skating my local park. I respect street skating but weekend sessions at the local are a blast
John, I just wanted to say that I love your videos! They always inspirate me to go skate and try new things! I'm glad you recovered from hospital and hope everything is fine! Keep killin'it!
The face he pulled when the guy interrupted him at 3:45 is priceless!
😂😂😂
def not cheating. i like that they slide more consistently/predictably and distribute the weight/force so i'm less likely to break boards on a rail/lip slide.
So cheating
I am a beginner skater at 53 just learned ollie and I have to say, when I go for walks I look at everything much differently now that I skate, I look at stairs ledges, curbs and ask myself, is that skateable? to funny how your perceptions change as your obsessions change.
100% dude. you'll never look at anything the same again. it's a beautiful thing only skaters understand. Good shit on learning ollie's it a milestone for sure
Nice job ❤ how long did it take you
@@Kevin.J13 Well I have been skating for a year now but I am still learning!
@@VintageSk8nice❤
broooo the last tailslide heelflip out was PROFESSIONAL
awesome, i enjoy watching street skating much more, always fun to watch you
Love the music in this one! Thanks for the awesome videos
i posted a video making DIY deck rails out of uhmwpe cutting board. they're actually really nice.
If ledges have big chunks or skate stoppers you can't really skate over them with rails. It'll rip them right off but sometimes rails help🤷♂️ so there are advantages n disadvantages
Hope you’re healthy man. I’m going thru a Crohn’s disease diagnosis at the moment and skating is so hard. Stay healthy!
bro wanna be Mr. Beast so bad
@@fueg00nyxxx mr beast? Why?
@@Sk8Comeback i was just joking cause Mr. Beast has Crohns disease
@@fueg00nyxxx yeah I googled mr beast & Crohn’s… cos I couldn’t work out why you said it… highly doubt he has it mate. He looks pretty healthy. And he’s a pretty rich so he’s going to be fine.
Yo bro, I actually thank you for that… I didn’t know. Just done a little bit of digging. I’m still a little unsure if he ACTUALLY has Crohn’s as to get it at 15 is absurd. But damn… good to know as I can do with all the help I can get atm. Stay healthy 👊
Literally one of the coolest videos I’ve ever seen
John that tailslide heelflip was exceptional, sir! I've been a fan for years and when I hear you're in the hospital, I can't help but feel concerned...I hope all is well sooner than later!
I'm sending healing vibes :)
What’s slicker, rails or the slick decks from the 90’s? I didn’t like the slick decks. I actually liked the bit of resistance from the wood.
Unrelated but just wanted to say it would be cool if you did a learning transition series
Sick tailslide heelflip! Lil flip bs smith was also proper
This was probably my favorite video of yours in a while. You absolutely crushed it at this spot and I could tell how exhausted and relieved you were afterwards
I'm going to teach you something about those rails the closer you put them towards the middle and less towards the edges the less drag you'll have the easier it is to pop off of shit. And it'll slide a lot better A lot of people like to put them right on the edge of the airport put them right on the underneath the inside of your wheels so there's less surface area the farther you spread them apart the more drag
You’ve gotta get a video part together and USE that kickflip back smith 😱
Rails are not cheating. Street skaters were not cheating in the 1980s for sure.
Matt Kennelly has me wanting to grab a pair
Why were you in hospital? Hope you're good bro
go back to the ledge spot with a filmer and have him follow you for the tail slide heel flip it would look sick for a video part.
its funny those plastic rails are used to help grinding. i just finished a recommended video from some rollerblader saying how rollerbladers need to use more wax (and thus ruin skate spots) because theyre sliding plastic on concrete which doesnt slide as well as wood or metal. guess he was full of it lol
Is there a skate trick John can’t make look easy😂❤
I’m not gonna lie same John last night my mindset has changed some bad news changed my whole perspective and mindset
Use to think of it as a egotistical way now I relized just enjoy your life no need to push to be the best of the best no reason to get out your comfort zone
Love this video!
So in conclusion there’s ups and downs so get them
I remember having culpers and plastic tails and plastic nose and your skateboard had everything on it it was still a toy with everything on it
Yess love your content John!
man im happy to hear a populare youtube skater like you say that the "athletic sport culture" in skateboarding is taking a away from the root essence of what skateboarding is as a whole. I hear a lot of people buck back against that concept and say it's gatekeeping whatever whatever. but nah its just lame, skateboarding to me will always be about reinterpreting your surroundings to be skateable and fun. not about sports drinks, corporate sponsers, and tricks being tied to points on a board
Sick video! BTW what camera are you using because that picture quality is amazing. Flawless
Where are the ledges in the 7-minute mark in the video?
Yes. Yes, they do. But the fully through mounting bolts are better than them tiny wood screws. Some Gorilla Glue added helps too. I hope your health meter is back up also.
I couldn’t agree more with what you said about street skating being the essence of skateboarding. I feel out of place every time I go to a park but street spots and parking lots feel just like home
What size thunders do you ride
How sketch is it skating and filming in LA atm with certain "Homies".. Have you had any issues leaving your camera to the side while you skate?
They stopped stocking lo's trucks on the east coast im assuming to keep people from skating on the streets it was a big problem in the 2000s. but its died down why do i have to skate a vert board like ive been sentenced to gears on my feet. lol, thats another thing the shoes used to be free. not they make em so you can't walk right in em. lol
The Legendary John Hill. ❤️🔥♾️🍀
Damn hope you’re all good health wise, John.
I love your videos! And the iron giant deck 🔥
He has progressed daily and therefore is now killing it 🧐😳🤯
Best video clip 🔥
No Product makes skateboarding "easier"
That tailslide heeflip was CRAZY 😮😮😮
Rails are only cheating if distance grinded matters. Like wax, it's just allowing the board to move better. Doing a trick with rails or not doesn't make the actual trick easier, just reduces friction
Yeah!! That's what's up!! We want to see the street spots!! That spot is literally so damn amazing that it looks 10X better than any skatepark anyway. And no scooter kids or kooks R there. Lol....and I agree with what U say about athleticism. That being said, whether U realize it or not, YOUR body is a fine tuned ATHLETIC body, just cuz U skate so much. And it IS a physical activity (very rigorous, at that,) whether U want that label as an athlete or not. U R a skater first. U R also an athlete because U R a skater.
Good video
@johnhill
Do a video on Valley Skatepark in Burbank. Skate before 3pm m-f for free or else you gotta follow wacky rules. Transition skatepark I tell be interesting how your good to show your diversity .
smith flip was super buttery on the bench.
Love this spot! Front tail heel flip was so sick
just listened to the pod with dale on it and no idea mr. hill was once on birdhouse. that is cool
it's interesting to see how bigger, wider boards (people out here saying 8.5" is skinny? lol) and rails have made a massive comeback, it's weird, i don't know where or when this happened but it's cool to see. I can only see it as a very large part of the skateboarding community are now in their late 30's and 40's and just straight chilling, curb skating slappies cruising etc is just a way to keep riding at our age and we're seeing that in board size/style trends. idk, i could be way off.
When i used to skate more than a decade ago the most common sizes were around 7.5-7.75 and 8 were very much outliers, anythinng above that was almost unheard off unless you skated pool or ramps. Nowadays 8 seems the minum people go for. For sure interesting to see the change or recurrence of trends.
I don’t understand how what you did for nollie back noseblunts counted as they being locked in
Also if you think skate culture has become everyone wanting to be athletes then you’re blind to a lot of what’s going on in skating. Tons of ppl are intent on skating the streets creatively rather than progressing kickflip back tails in a sports like way
so guys i been thinking lately that me and my friend should make a yt channel we have a camera a old one thats good for give a old school style to the videos and im from portugal me and my friends could show spots and skate parks here in portugal what you guys think, its a good idea?
Rails being cheating implies there are rules, and there aren’t any rules because skateboarding isn’t a sport.
Sorry but rails are not cheating remember this is a toy have fun with the toy if your toy has rails have fun with your toy that has rails again it's a toy
Why do city halls, court houses and government buildings have the best spots around
You have to accept what and who you are .Dont fight it knkw who you are and then progress from there. Your good homie
i really enjoi the video. greetings from mexico. and proops for the fs tail slide heelflip out
Awesome frontside tailslide
Thx for the tips also how many tricks do i need to know to go pro
at least 2
@@pathh_maybe 3 just to be sure
Where’s this spot?
just skate to have fun man, it's a good feeling to learn new tricks
John Hill, lying again for the clicks. Gotta love him.
That tailslide was awesome... and then the heelflip out?! Insane man
You’re really good at sk8ing
YESSSSSS! More LA street skateboarding! 🔥
This is a good video! I’m surprised it doesn’t have more views!
You need a filmer man, your tricks are too good just to see it in a fixed position
But now your schematics about how your using em without the riser pads.. the bearing spacers. elbows pads.. a helmet. some kneepads. a waiver to get in. lol.
I mean who puts stickers UNDER the griptape? Come on!
That fs tail heel flip out was just insane
ITS BEEN SOOOOOLONG WTF JOHN HILL ARE YOU DOING IN MY RECOMMENDATION ITS BEEN LIKE 5 years
, that’s what I’m talking about good skating Killing it
My favorite genre of skater is the bushingless truck and missing screws deck rail guy. That shit SLAPS!
Omg I want rails for my nose and my tail and also the middle
I hope you and Sara and family are ok. Life is a journey.
If I want to get an old school board, where is the best place to get one?
Can you go to Lewisville skatepark
The hoody is fire, any update on merch releases?
If rails is cheating, wax is cheating.
Glad you are doing better. Stay healthy.
You should switch to transition skating…
how do i get that sweatshirt? Your website doesnt have it
Dude not to mention they really save your graphic with board slides 🤔
Wasssup John Hill!!
Recently started watching you again and watching the old vlogs from 2016-2018
Man those bring me back 🥲
Keep Killing It!!!
rails are not cheating. end of story.
What deck is u using
Anything for views at this point
12:40 the jazzy ending on that tail side was DEFINITELY the cherry on top 👌👌👌
Street John 2024!
Tail heel out was for video part
