Brain Fear Gone-Jon Elliot

[livibam]

ahhhh the good old days.....

[adaptation97]

Believe or not, back in those days Jon was the skater with the tightest pants around. Oh how things have changed.

Sick video. Dosen't get old even after a decade

[crx2202]

how sings this song?

[MrJonesy236]

this is better than sex!

[soyeldiego86]

ohhhhh lol the zero spin !!!! lol i love the old school

[InsightMediaPro]

Not gunna lie, Brain Fear Gone is a very emotional video for me. It's the first rolling video I ever saw and It's the video that inspired me to keep rollerblading. I saw it when I was about 12 with all my rollerblading friends and it has been burned in my mind ever since. This video had so much style and some of the greatest music used in a rollerblade video in my opinion. I love watching it every now and again to relive those days when I first started rolling. thanks for the post

[richyjisyourdad]

right handed jab @ 2:23. I still do that when i watch this section

[onelovealf]

one of the best sections of all time from the best video of all time. Everybody that rollerblades or that is new to blading should study this video as a academic book

[TheILLITE]

anyone remember when he was the only dude on remedyz, and kato put out that video of just jon on the all white remedyz? i wish i still had that shit!!!! That vid made me beg kato for the all black protoypes!

[thetornprince138]

is jon still around? i havent heard anything about him in many years.

[xmaneotisn]

@thetornprince138 He's retired as a pro skater, but he is in it with Shima and Nimhs as a partner, also in 4X4...

[danjama]

this section used to get me and my friends pumped every single saturday before we hit london....good times, sorely missed. one of the best sections ever in my opinion.

[TimGranshaw06]

We need new footage of him, it's just not right!

[sdwella]

anyone have this dvd still??? make copies and sell. i wan. also uncloned. message me pls

[hoffmann220]

I have it on VHS

[xxsk8r101xx]

great vid, and pink floyd ftw

[42oburn]

wow the zero spin at :46 is infuckinsane, also sorry to ask a dumb question, but i skate and i watch alot of vids but ive never seen someone do that weird little half turn before he fishbrains, he does it twice in this vid, whhyyy?? does it mean true spin

[thefloatingpankakes]

no its just a little half spin. alex broskow does them also

[Dorifto007]

the one before the fishy is insane, going full speed and the one before the pornstar is just pure steeze, we used to call them shuffle and fake med spin, but then people started calling cess slides shuffles, so I don' t really know what people call them now a days, its just a little something to make the grind different

[jed789you]

oh this takes me back!!!

[badnuts1978]

Everytime I watch this section it makes me want to strap on skates again even though I'm 30 now. Jon will always be the best in my mind.

[galsandlagher]

Do it man, never too old! Do you remember Razor Elliot skates, i had a pair they were sweet. Elliot had good style, his own unique style.

[shayne233]

I had a pair too

[supersniperdevil]

Me too, started using them again yesterday.... Still great skates, good to be back on them after 8 years... respect jon Elliot

[Antihero090482]

Whats he doing these days?

[MyCameltoe]

he is a co-owner of Nimh!

[mymoderatesuspect]

NOthing but love and respect towards this guy.

[johnhawley123]

this was the first time i heard pink floyd, back in 2000

[tracer42]

elliot should get a pro boot from nimh cosiderin he co owns it

[eaMONEY]

Elliot co-owns Nimh?

I was unaware, I thought it was just Brian. That's cool, though. And yeah, I agree. If he co-owns, he should get his own boot.

Remember Shima on Razor? The guy had so many pro skates, like Shima 1-7! Haha

[DCProductions77]

Shima 1's were the best skates ever. Back when skating was skating and everybody was united. And those damn skates high cuff were the best, and the bearings seem like you ask if they were swiss or something.

[eaMONEY]

Yeah man, I remember when Shima first came on the scene. You know what I mean? I remember Jon Julio coming out, and then him starting 4x4 (I think it was). But yeah, DC, I know what you mean. Everything seemed to be a hell of a lot more united. But I still love where skating is today. So many ill guys comin out of the box constantly one-upping each other. Personally, Haffey transcends time. He was good back in the day, and is still the boss to me.

[Antihero090482]

yeah thats because Haffey always has and always will skate the way he wants to. I don't think he stops to think ever when hes skating. Hes not the most tech skater around or the flashiest if you will. But skaters like him will always be the standard to compare to because when people like to watch you because of how you do what comes naturally to you then you are a force of nature.

[eaMONEY]

amen

[BrianAragon]

vienna legend...

[sushosama]

oh shit.

never knew roller blading could be so...

knarly.

good video, it was cool to watch :>

[tracer42]

thats a real piece of art for rollerblading its not as flashy as newer videos but really finds n shows the essence of sk8in itself

[airschommer]

0:52 was that the spot shima did in killerboots?

[theonlya1112]

yes

[BAYBEEKOALA]

Jon Elliot was my hero when I was a kid. I wanted to be just like him and I modeled my skating around him. This video really makes me miss rollerblading, I wish there were still people around to skate with. It sucks skating alone

[tharealhiphop]

man this was a milestone for rollerblading !!!

brain fear had an enormous impact on roling!!

elliot doing freestyle makios and fishys,

latimer doing the fastslide,

...

after the video everybody did those tricks !!

[rollingblades]

that is sick

[BaronBulb]

I started skating way back in 96' when rocket makio's ruled the planet, unfortunately I no longer roll but I will always appreciate the tech, styles and great memories from rolling (skating newport park in Wales UK and seeing the legend Richard Taylor rip it up was one). I see a lot of hate from new kids about these old sections, ranting about how new sections destroy the old classics. Try to remember that rollings standards have been upped a lot but all because of sections like this.

[XtopherMonge]

elliot raised the bar pretty high for inline skating. so did shima. what was awesome was, they were both pioneers, but with two different styles of skating. shima was more tech, elliot more generic. both amazing.

[remzrider107]

I think this was the section they talked about in ONE. But it could've been his section from a different mindgame video. Now it doesn't seem as impressive as some I've seen. But that's because the standards have been raised. And they were raised by this section.

[remzrolla510]

APPRICIATE ALL ROLLING NEW AND OLD!!!!im 20 now n been sk8in for like 9 or 10 years,rolling in general has came along way from the first video til now,so appriciate eryonbe who supports the industry cuz a couple years back rolling was fading out....2ROLL4LIFE7

[thetruespin]

There will always be a special place in my heart for this video. Yes rollerblading has developed since Brain_Fear_Gone, but these guys laid the foundations. I find it very hard to face the fact that Mindgame will never release another vid :(

[Coster716]

brain_fear_gone is the best skate video ever made. Its important that younger skaters see this and appreciate it.

[ConnectionLost71]

dude, dainhart, I started rolling in 2000 or 01 (can't remember), I remember the older guys picking on grommets, us "new" kids who are throwing all this insane shit out nowdays, were not all grommified, I know solid style and tricks when I see them. J Elliot is a ledgend, I have so much respect for this man.

[anothersunsetfalls]

jon elliott is the only one besides shima who did that rock thing in skating first and made it look cool. nowadays everybody tries to copy this and makes this style look ridiculous.

[ReligionSickensMe616]

jon elliot is so fucking cool plus he was one of the few back then who used to rock and not hip hop in his videos

[Baccoandroaches]

this section is amazing, if you dont like it, quite simply...FUCK OFF.

[Razgrith]

You guys have to admit sections like this are slightly outdated by today's standards. I bet Jon Elliot would've had a million different ways to make this sicker if he was filming in this year. It's incredible thinking that it just took rollerblading a decade and a half to surpass and progress itself what took skateboarding 20 to 30 years more to do. It's not rollerblading anymore, it's sex with architecture.

[duducarv]

wow, pretty cool vid, he grinds lots of unexpected places like airplanes, the little roof thingy, pipes,

[thr3es]

the same kid whos hate on this section are the same grommets who think the best blader out there is the one who can tap dance the most on the longest rail. its something called style! this section when it came out was, and thinking bout it, still is one of my favs of all time. if you cant appreciate this section for the tricks, the style, and what elliot did for rollerblading, stop skating, cuz rolling will die from ungrateful wax addicts who dont know their roots like you.

[sowack]

LOL, wax addicts! i love it!

[RoLliNgWiVrAzOrS]

ppl hu r dissin this section r complete idiots. hes way ahed of his tym in this video nd hes always b betta dan d diks hu make out hes shit

[dainhart1]

ok to all the kids who are basicaly talkign crap about thsi section deffinatly need to take a look back into rollerbladings roots. you kids have no idea how much this video helped rollerblading and led to its success.

no i know most of you idiors suck as Randy1337 are probably liek 12 years old and started skating liek 1 year ago Ha. but seriously gusy dont disrespect someone who pretty much set the foundation for your sport.

[Randy1337]

fuck you, i probably skate longer than anyone here.I know everything from the past.I started off when the Hoax series came out.Ofc Jon elliot is good but this section sucks.Full stop.

[U2teddy]

dude stfu nobody gives a fuck about your criticism. who cares if you have skated longer than anyone else on here. you're just pissed off because you fuckin suck. so shut your fucking mouth you little bitch.

[bonter1983]

scrapes today just dont have any clue about skating,

you kids make me laugh

[Randy1337]

@ Benny:

Haha, the best section out....are you serious?watch aragon or farmers section, then come back you stupid moron.This section is pretty much rubbish...

[bennyp01]

to the thick idiot that wrote that this section is rubbish, ur a stupid prick, this is the best section on possibly the best rollin video out, sick sound track - time by pink floyd, he woz years ahead of his time, some people mite not like some of the stuff in it nw coz the sport has progressed so much more bt this section is a fukin classic!

[mizzikee]

Dude, @ 2:18 that 180 over the stairs, is way bigger in real life than this video makes it seem. It was at my old school, in Mission Valley. Um.. I don't know how the hell he was able to get the speed... from the top of the stairs to the rail he jumped over is about 10ft. It's almost the same height of the steps too... kinda crazy.

[rainsleetsnow]

what the fuck are u talking about? if that section came out now ppl would h8 so much !!!! personally ive always hated this section, even when it first came out.

[swiftseagull]

master of the zero spin. Dude is a genuine badass.

[Nethander]

jon just got a pro skate from razor hes still alive

[TimGranshaw06]

jon elliott is the most stylish solid smooth rollerblader ever

[for1555]

im telling you this video is what like 6 years old? and its still better than that bullshit bang they came out with

[Maino88]

Jon Elliot is still rolling...but mainly jus doin filming and producing I believe.

Sick sonnnng...Pink Floyd - Time

[XtopherMonge]

Pretty much the most inventive and artistic inline skater to ever roll. If you can do HALF of these tricks he pulls off, I consider you awesome.

[Prophet1172]

uhhh no?

search up the tags: billy fish

and look @ his style its incredible

[jrock9121]

does jon even still live now....u neva hear anyfin bout him no more...am i right or am i right ?

[prospect]

theres a small couple of companys called ground control 4x4 and viscous jon owns the first and co-owns the other two.

[leitermann]

thank you for posting this

[smashingpunk]

uhh... i do some of those things. Learning shuffles into everything.
