Such a sick deck. I had the O.G. of that board back when I was like 13. Brings back some fond memories!! Hell yeah!!

Now this was a wonderful insight into the details and capabilities of this Jeff Kendall skateboard.

Sick Review Bro. I'll definitely grab one of these.

John you have improved a lot. I am stoked to see the progress...

Glad to see ya finally setting that bad boy up John. I just bought that very deck for my boy for Christmas and he loves it.

Nice to see you got a bit of shiney shiney for the new year !! Great stuff !

Not half!!

That setup looks amazing! The black rails really blend well with the red board.

Looks like a great set up!

Very beautiful deck.

That is such a cool board I want it

Nice bro. Enjoy my man. Fudged a grip job on my new winkowski!!

Always loved the JK. I had the pumpkin/city line version back late 80's. To me it's close to a perfect shaped deck. It's got everything I need in a shape. Also beautiful graphics always. Enjoy man

Yeah dude, it’s an all round corker for me, a bit like cheating 😂

Wow this guy.... just wow

The truck discussion is important. The issue I've found with shaped decks is the width isn't always the width over truck which is important for the truck size. I wish they have the width over truck dimensions. Welcome skateboards gives a recommended trick size which has served me well.

Yeah, it’s pretty much a 10” deck, but only at one point around the middle, the 159 seems to work nice as the deck where the wheels go is shaped in coming up at around 8.75” At the end of the day it’s personal preference. Some riders like the wheels outside and some tucked in.

Keen to see your next setup either the new Eric winkowski shape more of a popsical but with Cruz missile 2 or the Eric Dressen rose pink reissue deck with the Cruz missile 2. I can’t get either of these but I will probably get the Kendall snake.

Thanks for the vid, love my Santa Cruz shaped. Have you ever tried Indy 215s ? Like you I generally prefer 159s on my 10” winkowski but I just bought some 215s second hand for a laugh but already love them! and think I will stick with them as my main ride (which has surprised me) . Really buttery carves and grinds in the bowl. They look a bit crazy but just feel so good. Give em a try sometime!

Many thanks for the info dude !

With a tailsaver you could have it much longer imo. Until the glue fails or tail concave gets too mushy

Id really like to do the same set up

I like old School setups

Great video as always Jon happy new year to you mate and all the shredders watching. Are those bones hardcore mediums mate?

@@JonBishopSkate I always enjoy your new videos fella, just making my way through your older videos, only been skating a year (at 36y/o) so just about to make a start on coping tricks, I hope! Gotta love skating the bowl but now it’s time to style it out with some tricks

Jeff kendal shape is the best ever

Have you tried the powell dragon wheels yet ? I use them for street and really love them espacially because they grip incredibly well and they for me reduce the risk of sliding out on wood but I dont really notice a difference with grinds which imo is also a + would love to hear your oppinion on them : )

Nice one dude, not sure it’ll still be in stock so it’d be an eBay job for the deck? Wheels and trucks should be easy enough online?

Hi John, didn't you used to put on the rails the other way around? I got the same rails and thought it looked better as well but maybe I'm missing something.

Yeah dude, well spotted, I used to put them the ‘wrong way round’ but I later noticed they are slightly angled to fit the concave. So they slide and wear more evenly this way round ‘as suggested in the instructions 😂

The Winkowski Dope Planet is pretty cheap over here at the moment. I notice you barely rode it, at least in the videos, and favoured the kendall. What is you long term thoughts on the dope vs the snake?

Hey dude, yeah love the DP deck, it’s in the latest pool video as I like to ride it in the pool. I find The Kendal and the DP are very similar, the back half is identical as is the concave and wheelbase. So I guess it’s all about if you’d like a touch more nose ? I think I’m just more used to the Kendall and I like having a snake on my board 😂

@@JonBishopSkate Just got the dope planet II. Looks awesome but wow not much nose on this board, almost like a surf skate. May take me some time to adjust. The tail concave does lock the foot in though.

Yeah, that’s what I thought to start with. I used to put them round the other way as it looked better, but they are slightly sloped to fit the concave. So I now put them on as suggested in the instructions as it makes them slide and wear more even.
