Great vid! Love the "crash" intro sequence. Really shows your honesty and "progression" level

For the past several years, I’ve purchased gifts for my brother through Old Skull. Always a positive experience 👍👍

Wow on my birthday 3 days ago I got a Santa Cruz cruiser board it feels like Santa Cruz is going to have a good year 2022

What a sick awesome reissue of the atomic man from Santa Cruz reissue old school deck what a sweet deck that is I love your videos I just saw the second this is my second video from you what a cool skateboard and it's so horanic that's where I buy my skateboards I buy them from old skull skateboard that's where I get my skateboards from every time I want to order a deck or a skateboard or a setup where I get my trucks Wheels and boards and stickers and merchandise and bearings and all kinds of cool stuff that's a great company they got great service and they really take good care of you very nice customer service and everything really good I love supporting them and keeping them around for the next generation of skaters and stuff such a great company another company that is really cool is toxic brand skateboards another good skateboard company that I represent and really appreciate their product and stuff another good skateboard company that have killer boards toxic Brand X skateboards are awesome great company and I support them and buy some of the really good merchandise I really like your videos they're awesome killer deck I wish I had the atomic man I don't know if they still have the atomic man on their website but killer bored I just wish I had that it's such an awesome board I missed it in the '80s and stuff when I skateboarded that was one of my boards that I wanted to get back in the day original Atomic man in the '80s but I missed it I have two original skateboards from the '80s one is a mad Hensley h street from the 80s another one is a Tony Elva skateboard from the '80s they both have really cool trucks and really cool wins Wheels the Mad Hensley's really grinded up a little bit so it's not really in good condition I use it as a cruiser board now my Tony Alva board I don't skate that anymore cuz it's an original board they have tracker trucks I don't think they make tractor trucks anymore and they were the really good tracker trucks and I have really good wheels and everything on that but I stopped skating that board I stopped skating during when they started making popsicle boards in the '90s and I stopped skating I used to skate all through the '80s and a little bit early 90s and then it all stopped when they started making popsicle boards so I pursued my other interests and hobbies but a big void was missing and that was skateboarding now at the age of 45 I'm getting back into skateboarding again and it's so cool and buying decks and stuff I like to skateboard and I like to collect decks too and skate them and stuff I remember buying skateboard magazines like Thrasher and also Tran World skateboard magazines back in the day in the '80s I had a magazine description for both of those magazines back in the day I would buy so many of those magazines then I decided to get an inscription a magazine description from those two skateboard magazines and stuff I do have a power Peralta video hvh cassette of the stuff I was heavily into skateboarding until they started making popsicle boards somewhere in the middle of the '90s that's when I stopped I haven't skated for so long and getting back into it a little bit Rusty trying to get my balance back and all of that learning new tricks and starting all over but it's still fun it was a big void missing in my life and now I love doing it again your video is so cool and so awesome I really enjoyed watching it and stuff it's so ironic that you have ordered this skateboard from the same company that I ordered them they have really good products and they're really cool people they're a small skateboard company and they're small independent skateboard shop in New York City and they really are cool people and I love supporting them anyway I can with money or anything take care I enjoyed your video it was awesome🤘❤️🤘

Its amazing that old feelings keep coming up! Great! And a happy New year!

Wicked. Just bought the End of the World yesterday after retiring my Ripsaw reissue with OG profile.Loving the board!

Nice one mate 👊🏼 that definitely got my desires for one up to the max !

Probably my favourite skate brand. NHS comprising Santa cruz , independent trucks and Speed wheels. Can't go wrong. My 1st proper board was a roskopp in 89.That kendall looks sick.Nice and wide for the big footers amongst us but enough nose for basic nollie stuff.

Great video as always! I also just got my new Winkowski board in the mail this week, can't wait to shred it!

Love this graphic and colorway, would love to get one to set up someday. Considered the Stranger Things version, but I'm not into that show and don't know how the lenticular bottom would slide (probably not well).

I skated a anderson for a good while and decided to try a few different boards , settled on a santa cruz winkowski , the cruse missile concave feels so nice , think I might have to get that or the bod boyle if come available. Nice skating🔥🔥🔥

Jeff kendall snake was my first skate T-shirt i think the first T-shirt i ever bought of my own money and i remember being furious at my mom when she destroyed the graphic by ironning it on the out side ... Never liked rails on a board it makes it look cheap so i never had them

Pretty rad setup Jon. I just bought this deck a few weeks back and set it up with some Indy 159's and OJ II's Combos. I think i went a little pedantic on the grip and I still haven't taken it out to break it in so I'm looking forward to seeing you rip the bowls with this bad boy.

If the "snake" Jeff Kendall has a really small nose I don't want to hear what you would say about the Corey O'Brien (iconic graphic, death with a fireball at its hand). That was my first "good" board back when I was a teenager. Love Santa Cruz boards since then. That new board looks awesome by the way.

Thanks Jon for you very good videos. Regarding this one, thanks again. I nearly bought it one or two month ago, but although the design is excellent, I found the drawing a bit too dark. Finally I bought the last Santa Cruz model (with the drawing of a cat vomiting in the toilet). What disapoimts me, is the "made in China". It distroyed my good opinion I had toward Santa Cruz brand. What a bad surprise! China is neither not located in one of the historical regions where skateboarding was born nor a democracy.

Hey Jon! Thanks for the vid. What a coincidence, I just griped my Winkowski Birdcage Santa Cruz deck today. It was quiet a challenge griping that Cruz Missile concave deck .Unfortunately the weather here is skateproof :(. so the only thing I could do is stand on the deck but that was enough to feel the weirdness of the tail. It feels short (although 6.59") and steep + there is no "pocket" as on typical modern deck. I wonder what was your impression of the tail on both Snake kendall which is a Cruz Missle 2 (6.59") and on this new Atomic man on Reissue concave (6,26"!!! that seems extremely short).

@JonBishopSkate

2 жыл бұрын

Hey Dude Yeah, love the Missile II concave! It feels ace, the little kick on the end of the tail seems to lock the back foot in, it takes a bit of getting used to, the Atomic man is very similar, but not as pronounced. I’m gonna do a follow up review video as I felt it was too early to pass judgment after one days skating. I think I’m just more used to the Snake as I had a love affair with it at the end of the summer so I’m more used to it! That extra 1.75” odd of extra nose really helps for nose stalls, pivots and crooks though !

@@JonBishopSkate I normally skate lucero 9,25" 15,5" WB, 6,875"-tail .But wanted to try something a bit shorter - 15"Wb. Guess my question comes from the fact that I can't actually test it out :(, :) Anyway - after skating f.eg. Anderson (6.875"tail) didn't it feel awkward to you to ride a 6.59 or even 6.26 tail? Would be nice if you could address that in a follow up vid.

Hi Jon, your skating enthusiasm and gear knowledge is a source of inspiration, thanks for sharing! Considering putting together a similar board myself, so may I ask, what is the point of riding a very wide deck, like a 9.75 with narrow (i.e. not equally wide) trucks? Is not the fundamental ride behaviour of a skateboard determined by the wheelbase of the board and the width of the trucks? Does this SC board ride like any narrow(er) board with 15 wheelbase and Indy 159s? Wouldn't it be "better" to fit 9.5 or 10.0 trucks? Thanks again for your videos!

@JonBishopSkate

Жыл бұрын

Hey dude Many thanks for checking in! Good points. It’s largely personal preference I recon. This deck would take 169 trucks, I just prefer the feel of 159? Remember these shaped boards are only 9.75 wide at one point around the middle. Where the trucks sit the board is around 8.5” so the 159 are a good fit.

By the way, I just ordered a Santa Cruz Boyle Sick Cat Reissue 9.99" deck (for €49!) plus a set of 169s and 56mm OJ 99a wheels. Should be fun to ride! Not sure whether I can ollie this monsta :)

By The way, you don’t have The dimensions on that litte miniramp with The wire deck? Any chance? Looks really good for a beginner. Any references on how much The coping should stick out and up?

Hey Dude Yeah, it’s just over 3 ft. It’s very similar to the mini ramp I built. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZGdtlcSeoNzKirg.html The coping is personal preference. I prefer it to stick out a bit for locking in, but that makes it easier to hang up. When I built my mini ramp I made the coping semi adjustable so I could tweak it as I went?

@@JonBishopSkate Thank you! Also forgot to say, love your videos and they've been a huge help as I've started skateboarding. I don't see any other channels not only give tips on how to land a trick, but show how you yourself learned and the ins and outs of landing it for the first time. Absolutely brilliant and it sets realistic expectations for a first approach to learning any of the tricks you feature. And not only that, you revisit tricks later after you've improved on them. Excellent stuff.
