One of the reasons I started to skateboard was because watching Lance progress made me feel that I could progress too. Still stuck on the heelflip. If Lance came back for a visit...I would land that heelflip for sure.
I literally was watching the old videos with him in it last month. Miss that guy, hope he is doing great in life! I know he was going great places! Love you Lance!
Lance leaving early hurt the watchability for a while- then Carlos left, and what felt like the heart of the warehouse was gone. I skipped out on Braille for a while after that. What got me back into it was watching two people: Ricky Glaser and JD. Ricky seems like such a genuine person and he’s tons of fun to watch and it does seem like he just wants to learn and teach more than anything else. JD is gonna go pro. He’s got such awesome fundamentals to work with and it’s a ton of fun to watch him learn new tricks and just show off in general.
I see what you mean, for a starter Lance was the best to see the possibilities... Though for the next step of skaters the current team is a killer inspiration.
Man, what a throwback. I started watching your videos 8 years ago when I was still 16 every day after school but your videos disappeared from my feed and I didn't think anything of it. Came back years later at 24, turning 25, to realise I was somehow unsubscribed because of a youtube glitch and that the amount of nostalgia this brought back is amazing ♥
I agree with Mogley on Riding the tail when skating switch and using the nose when skating nollie and fakie. I’ve always had some type of cut out on my grip tape to distinguish the tail so I think it’s just some type of OCD or something lol! Also I was so pumped to see Mogley skating can’t wait till his back to 100% I’m ready to see a big nollie heel flip over the A-Frame or hip! Thanks for sharing
I purchased first board today! Should be to me on June first! Yall have definitely been my main inspiration well and jaws on the lyone 25, that lit my fire. So here I am, a 29 year old, who's never been on a board, giving it a go. I'm stoked.
Cruiser boards are perfect for getting balance down on a board, if you find a cheap one just to work on balance it could be done quick but you'll have to get used to the smaller size after
Lance was such a nice guy! He got me into Braille. Watching him learn new stuff and evolve in skateboarding was a blast! I'm sad he's not there anymore.
I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking that watching Lance, and other skaters that are learning, battle for some for the more basic tricks is incredibly satisfying. You guys need a new Lance on the team. *slowly raises hand* 😂
Great job honoring Lance guys! You all three did amazing! Let's Gooooo Also, get in touch with Lance somehow and invite him for a full park sesh with the whole team!
Seeing Gabe take to the board and skate more than we've seen in a while was great! Wondered why suspension trucks were back but this was exactly the way to do it. Thank you :-)
My favorite skategod memory: When Aaron played a game of skate against Lance after losing to Chris Chann. Aaron needed that to build his ego back up. But also every single video with Lance in it is my favorite.
3:06 Mogley is right Gabe.... gotta go all out and Drop in on vert! even if you eat it... but you won't.. You can do it Gabe.. Show everyone what Braille is all about.. Progress over come your fears succeed!
I think I started watching when I was 14 I’m now 21 we all miss lance he got me into skating and made me believe I could kickflip he wasn’t a big pro like all the other skaters
dude you just made me think. i was 16 when I started watching but I fell off as I started skating less and getting into the real world. its cool to come back and see the stuff I missed now that I'm skating again.
Man, I miss Lance. I'd love to know if he still skates... Easily my favorite Lance moment was when he cleared 3 big blocks ollieing. I thought there was ZERO chance he'd make it so when he did, I was so pumped. lol.
Fakie = riding backwards. And yes, the nose or tail of the skateboard kind of matters, as nollie is a thing. However technically you could ride fakie without a foot on tail or nose. But your backfoot would still be leading. The stance you pop in matters when you pop and which foot you use. Ironically, when stationary, the nose or tail define 'which way you are facing', so technically Mogely _is_ correct.
I was really into skating when I was a teenager, but lost some of the will and passion throught the years... Recently been watching daily posted braille videos and you guys have inspired me to get back on the board and get in shape! Much love and respect for everything your team does! P.S. Gabe's hardflip was drippyyyy!
Watching all these videos, I'm still forming in my head who is current and who is past. But it is sad to hear that a member of the team has gone. Seems like a really cool guy that everyone loved!
I agree with Mo! Tail is for switch and regular and nose is for fakie and nollie. I would then skate my board so the hardest trick had the board the right way round. Regular 180 to fakie big trick, the regular 180 would have the board backward so it was the right way round for the fakie trick. The thing I struggle with is fakie tricks to grinds or slides. A fakie to nose slide I have to see as a switch tail. If I see it as a regular noseslide, the world falls in on itself
Appreciate your guys content. Found you guys a few weeks ago and have been watching aton. I dislocated my shoulder a few years back and haven’t skated much since, just snowboard. But you make me wanna get back out there and do my old fav trick, fakie big spin
What's wild... Gabe is in Lance's shoes, but ALSO who remembers when Gabe was in JDs shoes? Gabe was basically Aaron's main homie tiny dude an Lance. It was always those 3 to me
23:47 i def position the board as if its mirroring my regular stance. IF im thinking about the trick, or if im just doing it by itself, but im with ricky where if ur doing it in a line, you kinda just go with whichever way the board is.
You know you guys are amazing making videos every day, Ive been on out of town job site doing demolition, now that I’m home I get to watch a couple new videos I haven’t seen yet , everyone keep er up 🔥🔥
All regular and fakie done on the tail, nollie and switch done one the nose. It's more balanced truck wise with the way you would naturally stand know a board and your board will ride more true and level.
I have these on my penny nickel for cruising around town, and I must say. I'm blessed to have them for that purpose. I'm not into tricks or any so I can't really judge on that but for cruising it smooths out a lot of vibration
Not gunna lie suspension trucks might be for you gabe crisp popped tricks 🤙🏼 Get it brother 💪🏽 I’ve been watching for years (I’m now 32 ) a reunion would be sick to see
Another thanks for the uploads.. got through another long day of panic/anxiety attacks because of yall. Still got a couple more hourse left of the day but thanks for getting me this far
Someone here isn't no more about keeping tricks alive ! Great to see. My favorite sk8 memorie was at school, a 1 foot clean ollie at first ever try. Not so imoressive since I had to climb stairway like, 100 time a day, 20y ago. Then I start to smoke ... messing with my balance skills, legs punch. I'm ok now. And I hope I'm wrong when someone in the team remind that wrongness (Fr)
huh, i assumed lance DID drop in from time to time but never showed up on camera knowing we would all demand he come back, its sort of sad that he has NEVER returned at all. lance was all of us at some point.
@@Mike-wc3jo that makes it even worse because it seemed more like family of a really close friend circle. i think he went far away and probably hasnt been back to california at all.
About that ideology - I'm 31 and I just got back into skating after more than 10 years off from it. I take my nose and my tail very seriously. I ripped my grip tape so I always know where the tail is very clearly. When I'm doing something nollie or fakie, I always make sure I'm on the proper nose and not the backwards tail. Fundamentally - I learned my tricks differently because nollie and fakie are very different because of momentum and leverage. So I see doing it on the nose as a completely different trick with different muscle memory that I learned differently.
Ive always only popped off my nose for nollie. Been thinking about trying to pop off nose switch, so tail is always by my right foot and nose is always by left foot.
Nice video. I've just uploaded my first kickflip land, its really sketchy. I was wondering if you fine skaters out there had any tips so I can land them more comfortably?? Thanks in advance
I’m the same way, I usually only use my tail but on the mini ramp I’ll use my nose so my back foot has more room and tail stalls feel better to me 🤷🏻♂️
i owned a pair of these about 5 years ago. i used them on my cruiser and the back truck snapped across the front bolt holes. maybe it was a defect in the pair i had. i don't know what metal composition they use but if they've improved on design, material, or maybe both i'd love to get another pair. but at the time the base seemed thin and i never felt comfortable buying another pair.
I just got back into skating a couple years ago. Im always touching the ground and or bending so far down to pop tricks. i tried not to last session and it did not go wwell

Seeing Gabe on the deck more and more makes me happy. Cool trucks, well done guys.
One of the reasons I started to skateboard was because watching Lance progress made me feel that I could progress too. Still stuck on the heelflip. If Lance came back for a visit...I would land that heelflip for sure.

original brail watchers miss lance every single video… it’s literally never been the same
it really was a system shock when he left.
I will admit when Lance left I took a break from watching the Videos for bit. But Gabe stepped up and really got me back into the videos.
Lance leaving early hurt the watchability for a while- then Carlos left, and what felt like the heart of the warehouse was gone. I skipped out on Braille for a while after that.
What got me back into it was watching two people: Ricky Glaser and JD.

JD is gonna go pro. He’s got such awesome fundamentals to work with and it’s a ton of fun to watch him learn new tricks and just show off in general.
Braille was a whole different thing 4 sure haha
Exactly
I was just watching those old Lance videos. They made me wanna skate way more than almost any Braille videos since then.
I see what you mean, for a starter Lance was the best to see the possibilities... Though for the next step of skaters the current team is a killer inspiration.
SAME, some of the best explanations and motivation packed into a great series
5:50 To the editor of this video: Love you man, really appreciate you for thinking on my presious ears, much love man
Man, what a throwback. I started watching your videos 8 years ago when I was still 16 every day after school but your videos disappeared from my feed and I didn't think anything of it.

Wow ya what the heck YT is hating on skating the last couple of years. I think they pinned it as dangerous or something silly
I came to Braille late in the game but have since gone back and watched Lance videos, his progression was amazing on this Channel.
I agree with Mogley on Riding the tail when skating switch and using the nose when skating nollie and fakie. I’ve always had some type of cut out on my grip tape to distinguish the tail so I think it’s just some type of OCD or something lol!

How dare you imply Lance could be replicated
@@carlvargas7911 that statement by StuffnThings42 was sinful
LOVE...
IT!
Humble brag your way into history!
If you got the skills, step up and make it happen.
Favorite video in a while. It was really cool to reminisce about the old Lance videos. You can tell Gabe was really hyped on it too.
Let’s go Gabe! Suspension trucks might be your thing! Great skating
Great job honoring Lance guys!
You all three did amazing!
Let's Gooooo
Also, get in touch with Lance somehow and invite him for a full park sesh with the whole team!
Seeing Gabe take to the board and skate more than we've seen in a while was great! Wondered why suspension trucks were back but this was exactly the way to do it. Thank you :-)
I can't believe Gabe Cruz landed arguably the best hardflip out of all of them, that was insane man let's go 👌🏼
Lance needs to make an appearance and see where his skating is at now.
Hahahaha pretty sure he hasn’t skated in 3-4 years 😑
@@brailleskateboarding might be time to make a comeback then
@@cwatt05 all the more reason.
@@brailleskateboarding heartbreaking
Wow 3:06 is neat insight from mogely. Makes sense in a way, not sure it's totally accurate but I like the thought!!
My favorite skategod memory: When Aaron played a game of skate against Lance after losing to Chris Chann. Aaron needed that to build his ego back up. But also every single video with Lance in it is my favorite.
i remember that i believe he also played garret
Love seeing Mo back at it! He was always just sulking in the background of the camera before lol.
He was taking his time waiting for his ribs to heal. Which is careful and smart. 😊

Gabe should skate more, i wanna see him progress
Yea for sure, watch some super old videos he was out there killin it.
he's got some mental hurdles he needs to get over skate wise, i think being around these great skaters discourages him for whatever reason
Love the vibes on this vid, these chill vids and the "park adventures" are def my favorite!
Man, I miss Lance. I'd love to know if he still skates...
Easily my favorite Lance moment was when he cleared 3 big blocks ollieing. I thought there was ZERO chance he'd make it so when he did, I was so pumped. lol.

Life moves on, with or without you.
GO SKATE!
My first kickflip at braille was also on suspension trucks

As the video is going to it’s end, big props gabe ! thanks for legit honoring lance

Thank you so much for mentioning lance & for turning down the volume when Ricky went lout (thx Aussie Dan) 😁
Yeah that was the purest version of Gabe I’ve seen in a long long time … props 👌👍
i appreciated this lance centered video, please get lance to come back for a weekend of videos
We have been trying for 4 years 😂😭
@@brailleskateboarding What does he say? What does he got to lose?!🤔
Love seeing gabe skate, glad to see him get that hard flip!!
23:59 that was so clean and satisfying
im pretty sure alot of our fav memories.. when lance lands the 5 stair ollie and says "wooo! yeah!, woooo! yea!"
haha!
What's wild... Gabe is in Lance's shoes, but ALSO who remembers when Gabe was in JDs shoes?
Gabe was basically Aaron's main homie tiny dude an Lance. It was always those 3 to me

“Yes, whooop, yes, whoo!” Best celebration ever.
Great vid guys.
Mo out here doing phd level physics to make sure he's skating the way he wants in switch/fakie
I love seeing Gabe skate because it’s more relatable bc I can only Ollie and barely kickflip so it’s nice to see someone who’s not a pro skate
When is Lance going to make a guest appearance? Miss that dude, he embodied everything Braille is about.
You know you guys are amazing making videos every day, Ive been on out of town job site doing demolition, now that I’m home I get to watch a couple new videos I haven’t seen yet , everyone keep er up 🔥🔥
That was lit with yall and the hardflips at the end
Love the oldskool sk8-fit Mo's rocking in this vid. Those baggies are fire
All regular and fakie done on the tail, nollie and switch done one the nose. It's more balanced truck wise with the way you would naturally stand know a board and your board will ride more true and level.
Happy to see mog on a board again!
I have these on my penny nickel for cruising around town, and I must say. I'm blessed to have them for that purpose. I'm not into tricks or any so I can't really judge on that but for cruising it smooths out a lot of vibration
24:32 You kidding that was so pretty, the style I like!
I'm bummed I didn't watch this sooner, I'm always missing Lance... this DID make me emotional.
Lance landed a Kickflip in 2 days. That dude had HUGE potential
Never seen gabe do a hardflip before, so cool!
Not gunna lie suspension trucks might be for you gabe crisp popped tricks 🤙🏼
Get it brother 💪🏽
I’ve been watching for years (I’m now 32 ) a reunion would be sick to see
Braille skateboarding is like the nerd of skateboarders. The way they act or talk to each other😂
Another thanks for the uploads.. got through another long day of panic/anxiety attacks because of yall. Still got a couple more hourse left of the day but thanks for getting me this far
05:50 lmao 😂
Love seeing Gabe skate on some goofin around stuff

Lance forever!!
I'd love to see Gabe skate more, seeing the progress would be great entertainment
Keep skating Gabe!!! We enjoy it
I remember watching Lance Ollie that 5 stair when the video first came out. I got so pumped for him. Miss that dude
huh, i assumed lance DID drop in from time to time but never showed up on camera knowing we would all demand he come back, its sort of sad that he has NEVER returned at all. lance was all of us at some point.
Probably because it’s work. I always say I’ll visit or keep in touch when leaving a job but never do.
@@Mike-wc3jo that makes it even worse because it seemed more like family of a really close friend circle. i think he went far away and probably hasnt been back to california at all.
They likely way under paid him when he left or something. Gotta be a reason he has never been in a video
@@DarrinR he left "for love", though i dont think anyone was making bank back then. as i said i bet he left that state and hasnt been back.
So sad I started watching them at 14 I’m now 21 it’s crazy I miss lance so much
Brail drop with Suspension trucks, soft wheels and also special insoles in the shoes to absorb impact

14:43 every time gabe says “momentum” these days I instantly get flashbacks. If u know u know 😂
Let's goo, that hard flip though 👏
Gabe you looked like you were about to cry going through lances tricks, we all miss the skategod 🤘
@4:18 . ...errr, are them trucks on frontwards or backwards?
Gabe, props dude. Much love all .
Ive always only popped off my nose for nollie. Been thinking about trying to pop off nose switch, so tail is always by my right foot and nose is always by left foot.
The game is changing 💪
Nice video. I've just uploaded my first kickflip land, its really sketchy. I was wondering if you fine skaters out there had any tips so I can land them more comfortably?? Thanks in advance
Nice to see Gabe skate to.
I want to do Gabe justice in saying it took him 7 tries to land the hardflip while it took Ricky 8, he's like actually getting better.
Been watching since mid 2016 love yall would love to see Gabe variel kick the 3 stair
That right about when I subscribed too
Fun stuff! Y’all are great and inspired me to get into skating.
I’m the same way, I usually only use my tail but on the mini ramp I’ll use my nose so my back foot has more room and tail stalls feel better to me 🤷🏻♂️

Also shout out gabbs hard flip 😵

Would love a recreating old braille tricks series, maybe each one would be a different braille member's tricks of yore
