i’m 19 and this is the second time, at least for me, i grew up on those cheap mini boards wrapped in plastic with hard wheels and bad bearings

Let’s be honest, Tech Deck fingerboards are the OG mini

You don’t know me John but I used to watch your videos about 6 years ago when I was 13 years old. You were my very first inspiration to do daily vlogs but there’s only so much I could do at 13. I’m in college now and finally vlogging. its so refreshing to see you doing well, and i’m glad you still upload. thank you for continuing to inspire me ❤

It's fun just to skate something different sometimes... don't overthink it. It's way easier to do tricks on smaller boards. Hence 7.5's in the 90's.

I skate a 7.5 to this day. I feel like I can’t since that’s been my board size for the last 16/17 years. Stubborn I guess.

i actually like this style with a filmer , feels more casual

So HILARIOUSLY STUPID how good you are on this mini board 😂

I've always loved mini decks I'd buy them every time I'd see them. It was 7.25 X 29.5 Those were so fun to skate. Did my first nollie down a 4 stair with it.

John, watching you skate is always such a treat!

3:20 Best laugh ever! That laugh makes me want to get a short board just to mess around on with friends at the park.

If anything they’re getting wider but definitely more compact. The sk8 mafia mini is like a novelty. I’d want one for my kid but he is too scared.

In the early 2000s me and my friends stayed at the 7.5 range then my one buddy pulled up with a 8.25 foundation and we were amazed!

My son has a cheap mini board and I love how light it is makes it easy to do flat ground tricks

I love your long format videos!

Dude you are sooo underrated Not just the content. You are soo structured

I personally think this is one of your best videos to date! Amazing!!!

I like the new filmer. This style of filming is very fun. Dudes got a good energy too.

I feel like college skaters would love these cause they can prolly fit in backpacks

Nah I feel like with the small board it would feel off putting to push for long distance, especially pushing around a college campus

Dope vid and dope trucks i dream to be like u one day bro

Your commentary is funny. I like it a lot. Also it looks like having a filmer is good for your motivation.

Ended with a fat banger love it , backside heel was my go too and you killed that boy with style . Requesting a saucy inward heel down something in the near future

That was a fire video john!

now I want to see you do this on the mini boards from like 5below/walmart lol

You need to film a video with one of our BrakeBoards! People are loving them.

Love a John hill video

bro it's insane how the sk8mafua guys are doin kickflip backtails on that thing

I watch every vid and learn from you

Nice work John

Good work

That's tight man, I probably couldn't land anything on that tiny board

I just got back into skating after 30+ years. Late 80s early 90s I skated. I bought 2 boards ( a 8.5 popsicle and a 9.35 shaped deck) and I love the old school shaped Santa cruz better ....

@61936

10 ай бұрын

What Santa Cruz board did you get

Really wanted to see a 360 over the stairs, but super cool over all

Noooo, I'm getting one and putting risers, cruiser wheels, and rails on that thing. I love riding short cruiser boards when I take my dog on runs and this would let me do tricks easier :D

Peeping them sick Obey shorts daddy J 👀

my son and daughter both use a mini deck of powell, daughter is 4 years old and use the 7inch wide and 28 inch length of powell. And my son use the 7.5inch wide and 28.65inch length. Normal deck size was to big for them, and since my son use the smaller deck he can move the board better and my daughter do her drop ins with hands better then before as its less weight for them :)

Imagine trying to get better with a regular board and you see this.... can y'all wait sheeeesh!!

more videos like this

It’s fun to change up skating every now and then

Plot twist, the board sizes in the skate franchise is actually mini board size. The people who nerd out making realistic to scale parks in 3, figured it out when comparing sizes to get idea of park sizes.

Where can I find one

Switch ollie was 🔥

I gotta ask … John did you feel like a giant on that board ??? Lol Sick vid man I wanna try one now 😂

when I was around 9 years old (now 27) I used a mini board for about a year because they were the cheapest option and couldn't get a full size one at the time. Honestly I enjoyed the f out of it lol.

Good video

When i first saw the tj rogers video I was like "why the fuck are tj's pants so damn baggy" only to realize the mini was making it look that way 😂

7.25 x 29.2 inch boards make a good modern freestyle board

I've been seeing 27" mini boards online, nothing this small though.

bro my foot covers the entire board. I aint bombin hills on that. 💀

Had no idea they were popular…I just sk8 what I like.

My first board was a mini board. I got it when I was six.

How much of a difference is it between it and a penny board?

@JohnHill

11 ай бұрын

sooooo different. this feels like a normal board, penny boards are essentially almost imposslbe to ollie even haha

Front tail big heel out for sure you have it

i don't what you did but the audio was so crisp

Ive literally never seen a mini board other than penny's , didnt know they exist.

Should I get this for my 4 year old? She would probably love it 🙂

john do you know what hats are

im pretty sure that mini board was the same size that Rodney Mullen used in the old freestyle days lol also this would be perfect for getting kids into the sport.

That's a cool park. Where is this?

I thought it was an average sized board 😔

@qahiko_

the pop of the board is what counts not the size of the deck

8.0 boards are already too small for what I skate let alone a 6.o !

It’s for like those 5 year old skaters in japan

Sooo... what was the conclusion? Did I miss it?

You’re already skating a handboard

I guess more people are starting to skate with tiny feet? lol

lmaoo it looks like a toy

Average board size in 1995

It's supposed to be a popsicle penny board.. smh what has society come to!?

popular?

It’s a shame that park has so much graffiti, I remember when it just opened it was beautiful

I think many boards are just dumbnot as comfortableare they standard board they are more little kids not adults 😂

Im so dizzy from ur videographer

fart

Not to beat a dead horse, but unless your videos are posted way out of order I still haven’t seen a single pair of slip ons since the “why I only skate slip ons” video. What was the point

go metric dude

STOP.

JOHN 3:16 God came to earth as Jesus Christ to wash away our sins with his blood and on the third day rose from the dead. God paid for our sins in full. Jesus Christ is Lord! ROMANS 10:9-10

Amen bother. Feel free to copy this ABC’s of SALVATION ADMIT: You’re a sinner, condemned to DEATH (physical & spiritual) . Romans 3:10, 23 There is none righteous, no, not one … For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Romans 6:23 & James 1:15 the wages of sin is death … sin, when it is finished bringeth forth death. (Spiritual death is eternity in HELL !) BELIEVE: that JESUS died, rose again, and that HE ALONE can save you from sin, death, and hell. Romans 10:9-10 if you: believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness. CONFESS: JESUS CHRIST, and nothing else, as your own Saviour. Romans 10:9, 10 & 13 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus … confession is made unto salvation … whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Before it’s too late, forever, DO IT NOW! God’s gift is FREE and as easy as A-B-C !

they aren't.

What park is this?
