He is speaking about rollerblading, his freestyle rap with Insomniaxxx (video) and his work as a stunt in the movie industry.
Jonathan Bergeron (imdb) was a stuntman on Rollerball (2002), Death Race (2008) with Jason Statham, Punisher (2008), Immortals (2011) with Mickey Rourke. Thanks Nekokrew.

Damn I forgot how tech Billy Prislin was back then. He was way ahead of his time.
Does anyone else remember in either Hoax 4 or Hoax 5 when Jonathan Bergeron showed up those skateboarders by doing that ollie gap on that skateboarder’s board. Then he let the skateboarder try the same gap with his rollerblades and the guy fell and looked so uncoordinated. hahaha Gotta love Jon Bergeron. Nobody was gonna fuck with that dude back then. Would love to see him strap on the blades again.

Miss this dude from the game. That team made Senate look like a pretty fucking epic company. I bought countless Senate wheels after that. Nostalgia right there.

Jon B’s first trick in the Senate profile: on vert, flat 720 into an ILLUSION FAKIE 900, in 1999! If only he could freestyle rap as well as he skated.
And yes that skateboard gap! “you got a size nine and a half?” CLASSIC! Wasn’t that a Hoax vid? I was gonna say an old Hoax but it’s 2011. Even the most recent was on VHS.
