- In this video my cousin (Mark Rivers) and I hop in the van for the road trip of a lifetime. The designation is the new St Ives skatepark. The new skate pool is amazing and pretty challenging !!

No wonder Andy Anderson's board is sold out! You've got all of them!
Ha, yeah I got them all pre-COVID luckily, I’ve been getting worried about how to get another, but they seem like they never wear out ??!
They need to make more ASAP. Wonder what the hold up is.
@@realmorgan3075 I saw a vid where Andy explained the flight construction is top secret and Powell won’t outsource the construction. So they are all hand made in house at Skate One? The combo of not many being made and everyone wants one seems to be the issue?!! Perhaps they should release a standard 7 ply version ??
@@JonBishopSkate I wouldnt buy a 7 ply maple version. I only want the Flight technology. Sounds like they need to hire more workers and install a coffee dispenser. People need jobs right now, perfect storm.
I really want an Anderson board but they are so rare in Europe! Maybe sometime
I’m 59 & still lovin’ & skating my 2 Sector 9s(love the Sidewinder trucks!). U rock!
Nice one dude!! Great stuff !!
You're so bold! your slams are no joke and you keep your enthusiasm intact! Thanks for sharing your understanding of your practice of skateboarding with passion, it is super interesting for other middle age dudes like me who dived into skateboarding recently! cheerio!
Many thanks for tuning in!!
That first bail montage had me roaring! Especially when you fell bellybutton first onto the spine.
Ha, yeah there are some funny ones in there 😂
Mark Rivers was a Crewe Alex legend. I had a season ticket and watched him play for years at the Alex. He's even more of a legend now I know he's into charging bowls.
Yeah, he’s a good skater !!
Can't wait to go to this park in June! Sick video Jon
Again, Super great job Jon! Thanks for the tip on pool exits
The intros make me smile every time 😁👍
Many thanks for tuning in dude 😂
My rich vein of form for coming a cropper has also been well mined recently but i'm more stoked to get down to St Ives after seeing this! Nice one Jon!!
Ha !!
I had "Rivers" on the back of my Digital Phone Company Norwich shirt back in the day!! Great player!! 😁
Rivo !!! 👍
@@JonBishopSkate I still have it somewhere! I have just discovered your channel after buying my first skateboard in 15 years! You are an inspiration! ✌
I have not skated since around 2007, I remember the day the original park opened around 2005, it was awful but still usable, it was an example of a typical council skate park built for skaters by none skaters. I am glad they have finally upgraded it to something that looks decent. I get the feeling it's time to dust of the old wheels and get back out there.
Good stuff!!
Great video I’m visiting St Ives next week so gonna try that bowl the drop does look pretty scetchy, let’s hope I’ve got the confidence to drop in 👍
my new fave channel hahah im 38 didnt start till 37 the amount of injuries i have picked up is sickening so to see someone out there doing the same is inspiring good content lol
Nice one dude!! Many thanks for tuning in!!
The shallow 💣💥💥💥
Always having a Nice time to see you vids. Keep goin'
Many thanks for tuning in!!
Great work John, I really enjoyed this!
Many thanks for tuning in!!
Yeh Bish what a great time and an immense challenge..can’t wait for the next one 🛹🤙
What a fabulous channel. Love your enthusiasm for the sport. I'm 55 and skated in the late 70s at the Barn Skatepark in Southwick just outside of Brighton. I used a Jeremy Henderson signature deck, Tracker full tracks and white Bones. I loved that setup and so wished I'd kept it. Endless summer days skating the pool and bowl - if only I could go back for just one day. 😀
Many thanks for tuning in dude!!
You sent it! Great video thanks man!
Love the enthusiasm, looks like the perfect bowl to roller-skate in too 😍
Yeah man, plenty of Roller action going on lately! Great to see !!
"A rich vein of form for coming a cropper" followed by some spectacular footage of calamitous indignity was really funny! But the video was as enjoyable & informative as ever. And sharing the mishaps & bruises is encouraging for us deeply mortal middle-aged skaters. Keep up the superb videos!😊
Many thanks for tuning in dude!!
The bowl is definitely much scarier in real life than it looks in your video! lol. Had a little skate around it today
Yeah, it always seems to be the way!! I saw a video my mate took and I wondered why everyone was starting from bottom and not dropping in? Then I got there and saw the shallow end with my own eyes and it all made sense 😂
great episode! love to see your progress. My daughter and I were practicing axle stall drop-ins today, and next time, I'm going to show her the crouching technique you discovered. Thanks for showing that! good stuff.
Totally Rad Mang!!!! I just joined the channel as a member. I have been watching your channel for the last six weeks as a subscriber. I finally got off my lazy ass and bought a monthly membership. My wife and I both love your videos. I am 46 and started skating again last October of 2020 after seventeen years. Skated from '85-'03. I built a mini half 4ft high x 16ft on the Northside and 4ft high for 8ft , and a 1ft-2* extension for the remaining 8ft. I have 4ft platforms on both sides. I used 2* PVC for the coping. Backyard dream ramp. I love your show Mang!!! Many cheers and whoops from an Austin Born Native Texan!!!!
Amazing!! Many thanks for the support dude !!
Can't believe you chose to 50/50 stall drop-in instead of just dropping in! Nice job! And you might hate these ideas, but for pool coping I have a friend that rolls up a towel to level the board out. Then he slowly unrolls it each drop in until he's on the concrete. And I just ride with an old school tail block, which works wonders for pool coping drop-ins. Both are good options.
Love the channel. Always watch, never comment, but great stuff man!
Great stuff dude! Many thanks for the insightful input!!
You have a great channel too Elder Skates
@@wallimjamm really appreciate that. I'm just sharing my journey as I start learning at 40+ It's one of best decisions I've made in my "old" age ;)
@@ElderSkates been skating mostly street since I was a teenager, now 38 and trying to learn some transition so has been good to watch you guys for inspiration. Haven't skated for couple of weeks after cutting open my chin and smashing my board so tentatively looking forward to getting back to it one I've got a new deck
Hey Jon. Decided last year, as a 46 Yr old to rediscover my long lost love for skateboarding. Have mainly been sticking to a spine mini ramp at my local park, but this encourages me to brave some concrete parks. The vids are great, especially your superb grasp of the technical terminology. Spot on 🙂
Many thanks for the feedback dude, go get that crete!!
Man I love your videos! specially the b-rolls the struggle is real for all of us!
Many thanks for tuning in dude!!
That pool reminds me of the little one here in Frederick Colorado. It's probably twice the size of the one here though. Steep whippy bowls are a challenge but so much fun!
That park is amazing!! Another incredible video mate
That park looks sick! Great stuff Jon!
Nice one dude, It’s a cracker !!
The park look amazing. Great video!
Many thanks for tuning in dude!
The pool looks mint. Have you skated Hebden bridge? bowl there has a similarly whippy shallow end
magic! great video Jon!!!!!!!!!!!
Many thanks for tuning in dude!!
Nice :)
Hey man I am enjoying your videos. I am also a middle aged guy, in my 50s, (re)learning how to skate after 35 years. Your mini ramp video encouraged me to build my own mini ramp in my basement, here in Cincinnati. Hopefully I will find the courage to hit the local concrete bowl for some carving
Wow, many thanks for checking in! Basement mini ramp sounds Amazing, all weather ??!
Cheers for another great vid Jon, from an OG skater in Banff, Canada
Many thanks for tuning in dude!!
That pool is sick!!
Not half !!!
Lashings of Ginger Beer! 🤣🤣🤣
5:25 he said it!!!
yesterday i grinded a five o in the pool quarter of my local skatepark i been watching ur vids!!! keep going m8
Nice one dude, I love the concrete coping !!
Your filming has got so much better! Keep it up man
Cheers dude. I really enjoy the process of putting these together and researching new techniques? Many thanks for the kind words, some of this was filmed by Richie, he’s an experienced filmer !!
Great video as always but also that variation on 'Lenny'👍
Well spotted sir! Love a bit of SRV !!
Dude, that wipe out montage! Properly LOL. Kudos! Respec.
Ha, I can hear and see the style of laugh that you would be doing !! Like that time you saw a trucker spill his coffee 😂
Nice! A couple of weeks ago went first time to the new skate park in Amsterdam. They have two pools, the smaller one is similar to your video, the deeper one I didn't dare. Indeed very challenging the steep walls, but finally managed to touch the tiles in the deep end. However I was not able to maintain/create speed in the shallow end. Will need to practice a lot more to get the feeling for skating those pools. But is a lot of fun, they should place tiles in all bowls :)
Yeah, I agree, love the tiles, it’s a great sound, and it lets me know I’m getting close to the top !!
Impressive! That bowl looks like a lot of fun... and an easy way for an old fella like me to break a hip 😂
Ha, you’re not wrong 😂
@@JonBishopSkate I’m off to our local indoor park this afternoon... just hoping I don’t carry on to A&E afterwards 😄
Haven't been to a skatepark since covid hit, but there is a new indoor park near me with a bowl would love to learn how to drop in to that and learn some slash grinds
Would kill to ride here on my bike
Ha ha 'a rich vein of form comin acropper' 4:20 you've got some balls 👍
Ha, yeah, the last few sessions have been carnage from start to finish ??? 😂
@@JonBishopSkate Damn! I can relate. I have a reputation with my friends of obtaining serious injuries most sessions usually in the dumbest ways 😂. A month or so back I partially tore my hamstring on the way to the park and yesterday I dislocated my shoulder just casually riding through Plymouth after a 3 hour sesh at Prime. You're pushing yourself to new levels so accidents will happen but you look like you've got the drive to get through. Gonna feel great when that stuff becomes second nature 👍 It's mad to me that you're more comfortable with axle dropins on vert. I only just got them on a 3 foot yesterday. You're an inspiration 👍
This park looks sick, gotta get over there soon! Have you been to the Hereford park? We've got some real big bowls and a tight pool that might peak your interest if its not too much of a hike.
Great stuff, many thanks for heads up. Gonna have a google right now !! Cheers JB
I loved the coming a cropper montage.... they were all so graceful! Is that your rendition of Lenny BTW?
Hi Alex
Many thanks for tuning in and good spot.
Yes, it’s my sort of non copy-write homage to SRV !!
yeeeeeew!
Jon, since you skate bowls so much what type of pads do you recommend investing in? I'm looking for something that is going to last me a good amount of time. That bowl looks awesome by the way, and you progression has been awesome to see!
Cheers dude, I like the ones with replaceable caps on. So when they wear out you just replace the cap. They are quite big though as they are designed for vert, but they work well in the bowl. I fall off a lot so I need them. They are called killer 187 pro, but there are lots of similar options that do the same job ?!
At 5:40…ouch!
Have you tried skating the vortex at that park? I’m curious how that works.
It’s scary, and hard and scary 😂
BOBS YOUR UNLCE, THERE SHE BLOWS
Ha ha !!
Zero skill 😆
