“Thank you for skating” One time my friend and I were skating in a spot that we get kicked out of a lot, and there was a guy unloading a food truck at the restaurant next to the spot. He called us over, and by instinct, my friend and I thought we were about to get chewed out like we always do. But the guy started to tell us that he was super happy to see kids our age outside and being active, and even bought us drinks. That was my #thankyouforskating moment.
Can I request a video idea? Skate in tuxedos and see how differently cops treat you. I feel like a lot of it is based not only on skating but because of what's being worn too. Could be an interesting experiment. :p
I like your more cinematic intros more than the animated one. Adds a personal touch. Kudos on the editing as well. Great watching you learn more and more and develop a style.
The Life of Brian poon. You're a huge bitch. Omg MM! Im like 20 years late to the party! Fist my fucking ass to..... oh wait... wait.... it's an insecurity guard
Really digging all of the old Modest Mouse music in your recent videos. It's been probably a decade or so since they were on regular rotation for me, but you've reminded me of how much I used to love them, and it has gotten me back into them. Thanks, John!
If I had a million dollars I'd like to open a skateshop/ indoor park in my hometown. Growing up here kids had nothing to do and nothing has changed in 20years. Now I see these kids picking up an interest in skating with no good spots to go. I deliver pizza for a living so I get to see my city's and towns around every corner. These kids need something.
I have been watching your videos for so long but somehow I forgot to subscribe. But today I became a part of the growing army of subscribers. Love the content keep it up!
Dude I love the outro song and slogan everytime, it makes the video :) and that little stair set was cool, it's weird how it just lead you straight into a brick wall.
Love your skate process,very organic. Also like seeing NYC from the many different angles you film 😎 I live in cny but don't really love crowded areas much anymore. I grew up in Miami Florida and had my full of big city life, though I like to travel and see new places. Keep killing it john.
Build my own local urbanesque park.. The area I reside in has corse ground and parking lots around don't want us skating ECT... It be nice to see a park down the street I grew up on. Oh...and buy protein powder...lots of protein powder.
Not sure if you've ever read the 4 hour work week but the last chapter of the book is more or less a perfect answer to your question, he talks a lot about how to find fulfillment in life once money is no longer an issue, for me id probably continue to push my photo/video career and focus on creating some sort of legacy/Try to have an actual influence on the industry
Honestly with a million dollars I would love to support myself and volunteer! I wouldn’t have to worry too much about finances if I was smart and I’d volunteer and try to really help people in need both domestically and internationally!
that question is one i don't even have to think about; i'd have a recording studio so i could practice what i studied, get various instruments and go back to college to study all the things i want to study.
I'd get a house with enough space for my dogs and also get a car to go to work. And with the rest I'd invest in a business. Btw glad to see Sarah in the vlog! And I really liked the editing on this one 👌🏻 I feel like every video gets better and better 👍🏻
U should totally make progress daily posters or a flag!! I have a couch in my room and it’s against a blank wall with a stranger things deck and that’s it
Whats with all the copyrighted music lately? I heard Fugazi a few vids ago, and Tame in this one. Loving it, but curious if there is like a (free use) amount you can use before you get flagged/Demonetized or whatever happens?
John must like Tame Impala! Check out Mac Demarco, Mild High Club, Yellow Days, SALES, Wavves if you haven't already. Also I think John used to use Frankie Cosmos in his videos.
did they mark that random doorless stoop ramp they found on the APPS for everyone else? and i was totally expecting for security to come out of nowhere and tell them that it was a memorial to stairs and that they couldnt skate there.
I forget the name of the street but rite behind the lex entrance of grand central theres a street .so ig u walk out the doors that put u on Lexington..the main doors...go q crossed street an then walk one street up an look right that street has alot of fun banks rails drops .an ledges check it out now most ..lol of that street is sick
Mike Jankovsky So why don’t skaters go to the Vietnam or 911 memorial in D.C. and NY and do flip tricks off it? Just because WW1 and the Somme is less significant in US history, a memorial for people who have died, shouldn’t be treated as a Skate spot. Brainless Americans everywhere ffs
@@Vinni-K im not American tho.. And i get you're point but I mean those guys wont care about one dude commenting on RUclips on their behaviour and thats why i wrote "who cares". Personally i wouldn't skate on any memorials no matter what they represent because its a place which should have its respect not for the statue but for the people it represents..
@@shisuiuchiha1801 it's dumb I know, but I like john hill and this video of his might have pissed me off, but it's fine. I understand that no one would give a shit about what I say, but it's just disappointing wtf has happened to this generation where nobody gives a shit about the past and don't know what respect is. My bad If I come across aggressive, some people find offense more easily when war memorials, soldiers or veterans are being disrespected
I would probably invest in a house for fighting game players/ community, for players to get better, to enjoy themselves, make memories, and just generally stream and enjoy fighting games. I originally had a bigger post about it, but then realized a lot of it was me explaining that i would need to be flexible, and it likely won't be sustainable for a long time, but i'd like to give back to the community that brings me joy and allows me to indulge in pushing myself to get better at things~

DeadassMemes I read this just as they said that
Damn! That’s wholesome,

I also have never seen someone skate in a tuxedo so theres that too
Do this
up
Yes
Has Jim Greco been arrested skating? He always dresses well.
6:17 honestly why does that even exist. it's just a staircase to noting
For skating
probably was an a apartment and something happened so they closed it off but left the staircase
I’ve always thought it was for skaters
They prob retrofitted a wall and just left the staircase
Ok I hear u but come on he is literally demonstrating what u should do on it
"I got a new bumble match" 😂
Good for him
Love this edit. Feels like a perfect balance of skateboarding, a lot, hanging with friends and advice giving/insight/curiousity. Love it.
And sad ass maul grabbing unfortunately

Wtf, John! More Modest Mouse, and now Tame Impala? Loving the music direction. Keep killin' it!!

The Life of Brian poon. You're a huge bitch. Omg MM! Im like 20 years late to the party! Fist my fucking ass to..... oh wait... wait.... it's an insecurity guard
Yesss, that Modest Mouse snip was hot.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one that got excited about this...

6:27 Homeless person walks up ," Hey, you can't skate here, that my spot!"
why was there stairs there? it just led to a wall
And now Tame Impala. Music is on point lately. Trackies look sick too.
Cowboy Dan!! Absolutely loving the music you've been using recently john

Dude I love the outro song and slogan everytime, it makes the video :) and that little stair set was cool, it's weird how it just lead you straight into a brick wall.

Oh yeah, and A LOT of metal cd's
We all would buddy
Rare post punk lp's

Sounds like my kinda guy
Saint Emory normal punk lps 😩🅱️
1:37 had to rewind that at least ten times. Lmao
digging the modest mouse lately. Love your vids.
One million? I would RV Travel and skate and look for people to invest in along the journey.
1:22 if you can’t skateboarding or roller blade or inline skate then that means scooters are allowed????
Love your skate process,very organic. Also like seeing NYC from the many different angles you film 😎 I live in cny but don't really love crowded areas much anymore. I grew up in Miami Florida and had my full of big city life, though I like to travel and see new places. Keep killing it john.
6:45 where does the stairs go?🤣🤣🤣
Yo John been trying to snag a medium PD hoodie for a while. When they back in stock bro 🔥
Makes me happy seeing you hit all the spots I hit growing up downtown
How aren’t you at 1 million subscribers yet your videos are amazing
Your cinematics are amazing
Good choice on that MM opening :D
Been loving these past couple videos John! Keep up the good work!
Build my own local urbanesque park.. The area I reside in has corse ground and parking lots around don't want us skating ECT... It be nice to see a park down the street I grew up on. Oh...and buy protein powder...lots of protein powder.
Hello John I love ur vids keep up the great work

Love you man so much I watch you every day when I get home
When you said look at this thing I thought you meant the old dresser I was like huh 😂
I would quit working in a prison and open up a coffee shop/pastry shop! And PROGRESS DAILY!!
I love the idea of skating and finding new spots! Please do more
John I don’t even skateboard but watching your videos just give me life & inspiration 🤟🏾🔥
At 7:17 the kid and that man literally started backing away like they thought they were getting attacked or something
You're pretty darn funny! Nice video shots and editing.
that question is one i don't even have to think about; i'd have a recording studio so i could practice what i studied, get various instruments and go back to college to study all the things i want to study.
Definitely looking forward to future installments of the 'teaching my girlfriend to skate' series !
your bs and fs flips are so nice
I love your blogs so much John keep at it 🔥
*vlogs lol
this video had such a great vibe
I'd get a house with enough space for my dogs and also get a car to go to work. And with the rest I'd invest in a business. Btw glad to see Sarah in the vlog! And I really liked the editing on this one 👌🏻 I feel like every video gets better and better 👍🏻
I love videos of John with the boys
You are such an amazing person.
Very nice video! Perfect skateboarding! These are the vlogs i love! Q&A was there!!!
I love the modest mouse in the begining
U should totally make progress daily posters or a flag!! I have a couch in my room and it’s against a blank wall with a stranger things deck and that’s it
My boi wat is your backpack I need to attach my skateboard to my back and yours look snazzy
Whats with all the copyrighted music lately? I heard Fugazi a few vids ago, and Tame in this one. Loving it, but curious if there is like a (free use) amount you can use before you get flagged/Demonetized or whatever happens?
Anthony Preville read his description
Anthony Preville was wondering the same thing...
Anthony Preville you can use it up to 15 seconds haha
Anthony Preville was wondering the same thing! Lol
Read his desc he has the links to the songs there...
Not a weird question but where in New York do you skate @john hill
What kind of backpack do you use? (the one you see in this vid with your board on the bottom strapped on)
8:11 ~ Yeah, spitting corona all over the place!
I love this because he lives in New York and that I know all these areas, so it is so awesome
If I had $1000000 I'd look into scuba gear underwater cameras high quality cameras and I would pay for college for marine biology
That’s lit bro
cowboy dan by modest mouse is royalty free music?
John must like Tame Impala! Check out Mac Demarco, Mild High Club, Yellow Days, SALES, Wavves if you haven't already. Also I think John used to use Frankie Cosmos in his videos.
I like your music you use in your videos. Where do you get it?
damn please some one tell me how he attached the skate like that ( 0:51 )
i now officially love you for playing cowboy dan!!!!
Another solid daily...
I don't care of that stupid thing, they won't catch me alive
what was the old guy at 4:23 saying?
I swear you get better looking every day John, you're such a handsome dude
I like your pants where can i find them? Plz
did they mark that random doorless stoop ramp they found on the APPS for everyone else? and i was totally expecting for security to come out of nowhere and tell them that it was a memorial to stairs and that they couldnt skate there.
Love your vids John
I have always wanted to open a thrift store/used musical instruments/skate shop. With enough room for small or full band musical acts.
I forget the name of the street but rite behind the lex entrance of grand central theres a street .so ig u walk out the doors that put u on Lexington..the main doors...go q crossed street an then walk one street up an look right that street has alot of fun banks rails drops .an ledges check it out now most ..lol of that street is sick
The mall grab at the start though 😂😂
Isn’t skating on a war memorial a bit controversial...
Who cares
Mike Jankovsky So why don’t skaters go to the Vietnam or 911 memorial in D.C. and NY and do flip tricks off it? Just because WW1 and the Somme is less significant in US history, a memorial for people who have died, shouldn’t be treated as a Skate spot. Brainless Americans everywhere ffs

Fucking send it you pussy

Got hyped when I heard Modest Mouse in the intro
how were you able to use solitude is bliss without getting flagged!?!
BRO SUCH FIRE MUSIC LATELY BUILT TO SPILL MODEST MOUSE WOLF PARADE FIREEEEEE
I would probably invest in a house for fighting game players/ community, for players to get better, to enjoy themselves, make memories, and just generally stream and enjoy fighting games. I originally had a bigger post about it, but then realized a lot of it was me explaining that i would need to be flexible, and it likely won't be sustainable for a long time, but i'd like to give back to the community that brings me joy and allows me to indulge in pushing myself to get better at things~
If I had a million $ then I would be able to take my collage classes without worrying about paying for it 😭
Lol
1 mil.... I'd set up something like the 368 space in Wellington with studio space for bands, small filmmakers, youtubers, twitchers etc - which I already do a lot of but without the space to set up in...
Why are there stairs to a brick building with no door
Can't Wait for John's Skate Spots App.
With a million dollars? I would build a skate park in my city cause we don't have one and invest the rest in land. Love you John.
Not to be mean but the productions quality in this video is much better then some of your more recent videos.
The modest mouse intro! All time favorite band
Another modest mouse song!!! Please come to Charleston and skate the bridgespot!!!
Cowboy Dans a major player in the Cowboy scene.
goes to the reservation drinks and gets mean
Papa Johnny off to the big dog pawn in today's episode of progress report
that was the best intro I have ever seen.
