39yr old landed nollie bs 360 off a ledge into a bank for the first time ever doing the trick on anything besides flatground. Love your videos! Keep it up
Seriously though. I’m a 33 year old man and have been skating since I was 10 and when I try something like that and get it first try I’m super hyped . I noticed that also . Lit af .
So you're 40 now? Are you still skateboarding? Are you still 360 bs nolle off ledges? I've just now after 30 years, cracked the Ollie/Skateboard Code! Roll away from everything
Typically in downhill you put squares of very grippy tape where your individual feet will go. Some people use a variety of different grips depending on how they ride
@@dieseldabz7104you want to be able to move you're feet on certain parts and grip more on others the grippier bits are usually used for slides/drifting.
We need more Gabe skating content, he's so steezy with it considering how solid he lands! Literally feels like watching a superhero landing with how solid his posture his
This is just brand new Shake Junt grip with extra steps 😂 Loving the videos even more lately, thank you for the entertainment and knowledge the past 8 years. Ive been resubbing & watching across all my accounts Ive had.. and each time I come back to the channel it still has the same “at home” feeling. The videos and convos arent forced to make stuff viral. You guys clearly love what you do, even when it gets troublesome to achieve it. The mirror board was proof lol.
@@Davy-Dave Until my new setup last yr, I hadnt bought a sheet of Shake Junt since 2012 and it felt crazy gripped compared to the new sheets in the past
Get everyone with the same grip tape, have them do as many kickflips in the hour and at the end of the hour you measure who has the biggest hole in there shoe. The one with the most kickflips landed and the biggest hole gets a prize. Would be a great video to watch.
@@brailleskateboarding have you done a video comparing which shoes get ruined the fastest? It would be very helpful and entertaining at the same time. I suspect a lot of “skate shoes” ( vans cough cough) will get beaten by even shoes like these Target ones
@@brailleskateboardingor you could do a video where you skate at a skatepark for the whole day with the extra grippy and see whose she is the most damaged by the end
Downhill Skater here: Hardcore is alright but LokTon or Gangster grip tape is the move for DH (lokton is my fav). SUPER SHARP. Ideally you get a really sharp knife and dont score it, cut through the bottom with the knife facing up at an angle. We like our rails sharp af. Accompanied with a torque block and a footstop, maybe a few machine screws coming through the bottom, ultimate grip set up.
Tetrimino board + Gobstopper shoes + Caster wheels + Most abrasive grip tape once Mr Horatio Cruz eventually drops in on the vert! That's the added challenge for the following week! Keep up the great work, Braille team!
Is it just me or has Aaron not aged a day since this channel started 😅😅😂😂 all jokes aside congratulations on having this channel for so long and thank you for the past like what almost 20 years of content I remember your skate help videos and all the slow motion stuff you used to be into.. this man will be a legend for ever
In the 80s we didn't have a skate shop in my town but we had a Scow's radio shack. They sold grip tape like this. I did an acid drop off a 10 foot block wall. I landed with just my toes on board. It flipped up and took the skin off both my shins from my ankles to my knees.
We had this 25 grit per inch grip tape back in the 70s. The biggest issue was with your front foot after pushing, rotating your front foot would eat up the one sole. I would go to a big box store and load two right shoes into the box. Mismatched Chucks became my fashion contribution in high school.
i remembered why i first started watching yall in 2015, its cause i felt like i was apart of the group when watching and i want to say till this day i get the same feeling, thank yall forreal
I use this grip on my pool boards and my slappy board. Prevents all foot movement. I am going to add it to the back of my next surf skate. No way to cut it well and the blade is finished after. It is literally rocks.
VIDEO IDEA - Give each team a $100 to go to any store and build the items to make a skate obstacle for the other team to skate.. has to be skateable though!
My prediction: I agree with Gabe. Way less damage. The stronger grip will reduce the sliding action across the grip tape, which is what eats away at your shoes. The shoes inability to overcome the grip results in less wear on the shoe.
When I got my first ever pro board I had them put on clear grip tape and I quickly realized that this clear grip tape was the most destructive grip tape I've ever seen. It was as if they just tossed clear crystals on to some double sided tape and were like "yup this will do". Would defiantly recommend you all to try it out.
The original clear grip like I used in the 80's & 90's was definitely extremely grippy and definitely had larger chunks of sand in it. Like the old-school Fly Paper, if you know you know..
this reminds of the time where me and the friends I used to skate with bought sand paper that was usually for sanding metal and glued it to our boards, cause it was cheaper than buying grip tape (that btw wasn't available everywhere like nowadays). Tbh it was better than griptape but as expected it destroyed the shoes
I use Mob for everything. Its wears down perfectly and allows for better foot movement in all terrains. If my board gets too dusty I take a toothbrush and a little water and clean it. It takes about 10 minutes, if that.
I feel like as long as the board flipped it should count to the counter for shoe wear since the damage was done regardless if the trick was landed. That must be some hard mineral rock they ground up and glued on if its scratching the concrete lol.
Back in the day,we would cover the top in stickers. Then place some super abrasive clear tape. Still got an old sma Rocco division hanging on the wall with clear tape, I skated decades ago
I put vicious griptape on a deck that had steep kicks and a lot of concave, all my tricks were on point, I’m thinking about putting vicious grpttape on a 7.75
Unironically, this is the typa stuff you'd see on freeskates. At least freeskates are small, you're less likely to scrape an entire half of you body mass away on the dam things 😭
DH Longboarder chiming in. Lokton grip is considered the grippiest although it is really expensive. Hardcore is the most had shredding though. I have a deck wrapped in it, I don't mind hardcore grip, but it is not my favorite either.
VIDEO IDEA - each skater has to do what they believe is the best trick they can do in the braille house.. get someone to vote who's was the best.. get Gabe in this game as well. invite people to come. BEST TRICK COMP!!!
Aaron has no clue just how dangerous using the angle grinder that way was. To anyone reading this, never use an angle grinder without proper PPE and training. Angle grinders are the most dangerous hand power tool period because even the smallest mistakes can lead to gruesome injuries. Like so aaron can see this
Hey man not arguing with you I agree angle grinder are extremely dangerous just curious what exactly he was doing that is dangerous so I can take steps to be safer when I’m using them
HMMMM we found something simialr to this back in 2005 - 2006. it was just a HUGE roll of the Grip they put at the edge of step inside of stairwells. We literally just found it chillin while skating what we called Morman 10 back then. It was super rough just like this stuff so we put it on a board and it was grippy yes. BUT it would DESTROY laces.
wow i pleyed your video at .25 speed repro. and its so funny and also great quality of skaters you ares doing many many tricks overliterrllly all. boards & grips, and otrher types of weird skating devices. and always u rockS joinging a big 4 wheels comunity and i was a not so great skater but now im 47 yo and i think the funtional are your videos to learn. at my ages in sk8ng just magazines and some bootleg videos and also the same friends whom i 'rolled, so many congratulatios about your work, and channnel. from toluca mexico, and still enjoying skate shoes, by this side and always is a real compative wich ones give better performance.

Came here for the Braille schooling. Was not disappointed
This is cool info
Why not grip entire board at that point? Doesn't seem to matter any as long as have grip for foot placement really how the boards gripped
@@dieseldabz7104you want to be able to move you're feet on certain parts and grip more on others the grippier bits are usually used for slides/drifting.
@@dieseldabz7104 I have mine stacked 3-6 layers at some parts on my downhill longboard to create extra pockets and really stay locked in.
bro imagine scraping ur ankle with that 💀💀
I started bleeding just thinking about that
Uffffff
I've gotten some gnarly shinners from icing out on a pushup slide downhilling w/ sharp lips and vicious grip. it hurts more than the road rash.

i figured out recently that shake junt is made by jessup. so in reality, shake junt is less grippy than mob.
Thats like comparing wet wipes with barbed wire.

We don’t see Gabe skate too often but it’s always fun seeing him enjoy himself and have fun.

This reminds me of the old Mob boss grip that got discontinued in like 2016ish. Glad to see PP brought back some gnarly grip.

Saw Zach Doelling use his truck to cut his grip yesterday and now watching Aaron use a grinder... Man, innovators, I swear lol.
I'm loving the extra long videos.
Great to see you skating Gabe !! We all love when you do !
I love seeing Gabe skate, he's still got it! Looking trim as well. KEEP AT IT DUDE
the smile on Gabs face after the line and BS flip...need that!
The grip thumb bouta go crazy
My thumbs hurt reading this comment.

So glad you kept Gabe around. Bro definitely has been great to the channel ever since.
I can't wait for Gabe to set his mind to drop in on vert, the man can literally do anything he sets his mind to!
i love those occasional mentions of the legendary christmas tree that went through the roof
Its been so long since I've seen Gabe skate in a video I thought he retired from the sport, I want to see at least 4 tricks from Gabe every video!
I like when Gabes not hiding and skates its fresh
but is it more like gator grip or vicious grip? looks kinda like viscious.
Now you need to use this and make a full all-terrain board. Grip, board, wheels, everything
We need more ALL TERRAIN
MORE TERRAINE
Y’all should try the gobstoper skate shoes on it in the video y’all did recently
They sell it in three pieces because you only need one for each foot placement. Plus one in the middle if your board is longer
I love we are so happy to see just an excessive ammount of consecutive kickflips
I hope I'm not the only one in the crowd that gave applause to my laptop when Gabe nailed that first double..
Go to a hardware store to the sandpaper section then pick up some contact cement or 3m spray adhesive, boom more aggressive grip tape
Love seeing gabe skate!
My prediction: I agree with Gabe. Way less damage. The stronger grip will reduce the sliding action across the grip tape, which is what eats away at your shoes. The shoes inability to overcome the grip results in less wear on the shoe.
well you wrong

yep. in the late 80's clear was like glass shards in your board.
The original clear grip like I used in the 80's & 90's was definitely extremely grippy and definitely had larger chunks of sand in it. Like the old-school Fly Paper, if you know you know..
What’s better is they were all skating goofy so the same shoe was getting destroyed,idk if that was purposeful or accidental but it’s just funny
Yes on purpose
@@brailleskateboarding oh makes sense
When these videos are more than 15 mins, I just think to myself “yep they had a heck of a time getting this one together.” Lol
This girl is on fire!!!!!!!!
this reminds of the time where me and the friends I used to skate with bought sand paper that was usually for sanding metal and glued it to our boards, cause it was cheaper than buying grip tape (that btw wasn't available everywhere like nowadays).

I use Mob for everything. Its wears down perfectly and allows for better foot movement in all terrains. If my board gets too dusty I take a toothbrush and a little water and clean it. It takes about 10 minutes, if that.
20:20 that gabe freezeframe is priceless. Go there and just press comma and period [ , ] and [ . ] for much enjoyment.
I love that this video has given me a back up pair of shoes now.. I have those same ones that I didn't buy to skate in. Keep varial flips alive!
Love Gabe's doubles, and AK's semi automatic back-to-backs.
3:51 just Aaron’s “yeah” lol
I feel like as long as the board flipped it should count to the counter for shoe wear since the damage was done regardless if the trick was landed. That must be some hard mineral rock they ground up and glued on if its scratching the concrete lol.
i havent watched braille skateboarding in like 4 years, like since you launched that christmas tree into the roof
"My dog doesnt even skate and he felt that primo" 😂😂
The way aron pushed his shopping cart is artwork
Gotta use that board on the misfit skate shoes!!! I need to see it yesterday
Back in the day,we would cover the top in stickers. Then place some super abrasive clear tape. Still got an old sma Rocco division hanging on the wall with clear tape, I skated decades ago
Industrial diamond grip tape , that would be nice to see & maybe expensive also .
Imagine trying a Dark slide with that grip 😬💀
When he does kick flips it sounds like a crowd chanting “DEFENSE” 📢
There's no way Gabe just brought up the Christmas tree, I have Braille Christmas tree typed into the search bar because I just remembered that video
You needed this grip tape for the gobstompers!
VIDEO IDEA - Braille make a cement ramp for the Braille house
Would it still have that much grip if you skate in the rain?
Should try vicious griptape next, that stuff is gnarly
i had a clear tape back in 01 that was suuuper coarse but if it even got a splash of liquid you couldnt keep in under you feet so slick
I put vicious griptape on a deck that had steep kicks and a lot of concave, all my tricks were on point, I’m thinking about putting vicious grpttape on a 7.75
Why did Aron have to ruin this. Smh
that was sick Aaron
15:12 Aaron throwin up signs 😱
grip thumb at a whole new level
Dead finger haha

Those white shoes look clean on Aaron 🥶
Aaron lacing up like he’s Mr. Rogers aka Aaron Rogers. Glad to see Kyro Construction is still in business.
Heelflipping this would be bad or getting a shinner
Since you don't take your feet off the board, you only need two spots of griptape.
Pretty sure that is 24 grit sandpaper used on belt sanders when installing hardwood flooring with adhesive backing on it.

They are always reckless with the tools. It seems an almost decision to use them in a frivolous way. Not just Aaron, Gabe was like that too.
Dw bro, they had the gaurd on, I think.

Absolutely! I was angle-grinding a motorcycle frame with one hand and I have the scar to prove it.

This has been a legit thing for downhill longboards for a couple decades at least; We call it grippy-grip, and it's amazing hahaha!
Maybe the Gobstomper team will send you another pair of shoes to skate this grip tape with?? 😂
Now that’s a great idea
@@brailleskateboarding thank you. Thank you. 😃
nice to see Gabe still being bullied after 5+ years
try a dark slide wit hthe griptape
Ouch
somebody gonna need to dark slide this thing.
Destroy the rail 😂
the dark death slide.🧱
have you tried a regular skateboard deck with the snowskate grip?
this is crazy video Braille
Im guessing the 3 sheets is for certain spots for individual placement of feet. Idk about it being "all terrain"
