Derek represents a huge number of skaters who are at or near this level. To see him progress is important for skaters like me and skateboarding in general. Videos like this inspire people in a way that video parts can not. The average person can relate to this and progress in their own skating. Great work, guys 👍
These videos focused on beginners and the basics are great. It's fun seeing the crew do crazy stuff, but these ones are why I suggest the channel to everyone who expresses interest in skating.
I like the seeing the learning of others. I learned Ollie still, Ollie moving, Ollie over a crack or line, then up and down a curb and by then my Ollie was just comfortable. So tweaking the height was just like bringing my knees up to get higher 😊
You're getting so much better! I noticed in the successful ollies, he had his footing prepped and was already knees bent, where on the unsuccessful attempts he was rushing to adjust his footing and crouch at such a last moment. Maybe try to have more runway so he can be crouched and ready like 5 feet before the obstacle? Either way great progress
@@alexchang1878 oh it’s very true. Nigel Jones came out and said he despised Carlos and if you look up Carlos Lastra exposed, you’ll see the messages between Carlos and Nigel
Literally in suspense near the end lmao just wanting to see Derek land it back to back.. it’s funny since I’m on moving ollie’s now aiming to have this down this year
Yes Derek! I recently did the same thing as my ollie challenge... 2x4, 2x6, and then a board. I think I have to try 2 boards this week. I challenge Derek to do 2 boards with me. Let's get it! 👊
I have a video idea for you. Me and my boys were at the skatepark yesterday. I got a new blind board it's kicks are ways steeper than I'm used to. Which led us into a discussion of concaves and steepness of kicktails. And I think it would be a great video if y'all just did some skating on different types of boards and explain the differences between mellow concave steep concave steep kicks mellow kicks I'm sure y'all done one before but an updated video would be awesome.
"Let's go Derek" Make it go viral. I'm not sure if this would help beginning skaters, but put a chalk line in front of the board where the front wheels should be to begin to ollie. I learned to ollie in 1987-or 88.
Especially interested in this one because I’ve been doing some solid Ollie’s and will soon be trying to Ollie a skateboard lol (coming from someone that’s 30 and weigh 300😅)
I remember being a kid and learning to ollie and then realizing that in order to ollie over a crack or up a curb, you actually have to gap an entire skateboard length just to clear a crack
Derek I'm impressed.. Braille is awesome. I grew up skating but I'm not sure I could Olli bored lol.. but I definitely dropped over vert.. Gabe drop the vert lol. 😅
I would love to see a game of SKATERS switching off one person playing Session Skate Sim and one person on a board IRL (The game is pretty tricky to land some more complex tricks)
I got an idea for a video for the Braille House Crew!! Lets see a Jaws inspired video where the whole crew goes out and explores to find and do sets of stairs from 1 to how ever many the Braille Crew can get too! I think the street view and the committing to doing bigger sets will be great content!! BUT!!! You all have to wear helmets! Cause lets make wearing helmets cool! Look at Andy and JD! the reason they go big is their skill... and head protection!!
my ollies are high and i can land them but for some reason it seems like my back foot just leaves the board then comes back it doesnt stay with the board like i see most skate boarders do is there a way to fix that ?
Man I remember I used to Ollie 3 decks interlocked and they were all like 10 inches then. I probably couldn't Ollie over a couple interlocked 8s now 😅👴
This was soooo hard for me even tho I knew my Ollie is was higher , what helped me was finding grass and going over the board and landing in the grass to build confidence
We need more Derek progression videos, gives me OG Braille vibes
I like seeing Derek learn
He likes you seeing him learn
Look up Carlos (past braille member)
@@ween2378 carlos is dope. Hes my fav braille member. Sucks that he left
Don't worry D-Man I'm currently learning with you brother! haven't skated since around 14/15 years old and just got a board a few months ago at 29🖤🖤🖤
Ya same I’m starting again rn at 23 since like 10 years ago
Same here from provident skatepark, 23 and in the same progression as Derek atm.
After more than 30 years, I just started again. I bought a board 2 weeks ago. I am 45 years old now.😅 Greetings from Hungary.
I'm over here clapping 😂😂 Derek is progressing!!! 🛹

The progress is real! These are my favourite videos, i love seeing the progression of beginners.
it is nice to see his progress Braille

Derek is a likeable dude. Hope we can see more of him on the channel :)
Love it
Stoked for Derek!! First try over both boards! Freaking awesome!!! *Let’s Goooooooo*

Gabe is such a great teacher. wow.

Thank you so much
So you guys just going quiet and ignore the Carlos situation again??
standard braille practice. They even had him back after the allegations. I hope its not true.
@@alexchang1878 oh it’s very true. Nigel Jones came out and said he despised Carlos and if you look up Carlos Lastra exposed, you’ll see the messages between Carlos and Nigel
Probably my favorite Video of the year so far. Derek is doing amazing! Love to see that and it really motivates me. Awesome!
Not gonna lie, when he did the first real board I jumped off the couch and yelled like a football fan or something. His progression is really fun.
Love it 🔥
Literally in suspense near the end lmao just wanting to see Derek land it back to back.. it’s funny since I’m on moving ollie’s now aiming to have this down this year
Finally Derek!! Proud as f*** !! I know how hard is stop thinking... but you have to... Greetings form Poland dude! :)
Hi my name is Sponsored Street Skateboarder, I’m a Gab Cruz from the professional skateboarder bay area and today I’m going to be teaching you….

That’s makes 2 of us , let’s get the two boards goal !!!!
@@keapaishere Let’s go!!! 👊

Derek did it!!!! Awesome
Besides the JD Vert episodes, this is one of my favorite recent videos!
yall gonna have to address the carlos situation soon
I think thats the reason theyre not posting. Probably drama all around the braillehouse
They won’t, same way they brushed it off and still publicly supported Carlos even after the situation.
@@otgbaby4615Yeah but that was before it was public. No hiding from the situation now. They definitely need to address it immediately
@@cwatson42785will you tell me? I have no idea what the situation is.
what’s been going down ? why aren’t they posting any videos
Those ollies over the board were so solid, Derek could totally ollie over 2 or 3 boards 🔥
I love the videos watching Derek battle tricks! I am right there with ya trying to learn bud.
He's nervous because he doesnt want to fail. Nice job Derrick.
"Let's go Derek" Make it go viral. I'm not sure if this would help beginning skaters, but put a chalk line in front of the board where the front wheels should be to begin to ollie. I learned to ollie in 1987-or 88.
I ride electric long boards around town all day everyday but never have I ever Ollied a skateboard but this makes me want to try to Ollie now
haven’t watched in years, glad to see a new lance.
Im sad to still not see old lance lmao
Y’all should do a vid of going out find street spots to skate and test you’re self and the team
Wow he's gotten way better 👌 Now I gotta learn the same thing.
"i mean that could motivate u" golden meme that lives rent free in my head now ty glo
this is a great video, love seeing his ollies. Im just working on mine, might try to enter the challenge.
Can you get Derek to drop in from the small blue ramp right there into an Ollie?
Ya sure
I love how y'all hype my man Derek up!
I cheered out loud at this video
So we not gonna talk about Carlos? 😂😂😂
The channel has been struggling to get more than 40k views recently and I can only imagine what Nigel said will put the nail in the coffin.
Clear eyes. Clear mind. Clean Tricks 🎉
Thanks
Keep doing your thing Boys #1 channel hands down!
Im wondering what camera I should use, I am a beginner skater and need something basic to film my videos 🛹📸
Derek you got this brother and you got a fresh board that pop is nice
You got this Derek
I believe, that Derek can succeed and Ollie.
Especially interested in this one because I’ve been doing some solid Ollie’s and will soon be trying to Ollie a skateboard lol (coming from someone that’s 30 and weigh 300😅)
Eyyyyy. Congrats Derek. First try. Big ups.
Let's go Derek! 😎👌👏 love braille ❤
It’s been too cold to film, I need those gloves that work with the phone. Still working on the ollie tho, I’m at 3 decks stacked the right way.
Derek, we waiting for nollies and then final, kickflips aswell 🤞
First time I haven’t seen an upload from braille
I remember being a kid and learning to ollie and then realizing that in order to ollie over a crack or up a curb, you actually have to gap an entire skateboard length just to clear a crack
I found this video inspiring!
Great job man
Yo can you guys please make a vid addressing Carlos lastra
"Speed. Ollie. GLORY!" -Gabe Cruz 💪🏿💪🏿
Y'all really got me thinking about skating again I haven't in 15 years I'm 36
Derek I'm impressed.. Braille is awesome. I grew up skating but I'm not sure I could Olli bored lol.. but I definitely dropped over vert..
Gabe drop the vert lol. 😅
Way to go Derek!!! You da man :D
This was so inspiring YEAH DEREK
Let’s go Derek is the GOAT
I would love to see a game of SKATERS switching off one person playing Session Skate Sim and one person on a board IRL (The game is pretty tricky to land some more complex tricks)
Bro this video is perfect I’m right around Derek’s level rn next video we need him practicing fs 180’s that’s where I’m stuck rn
Love seeing gabe on a skateboard but was the one wheel dead??
is it wierd im getting closer to boardsliding a flatbar than olling up/down/over anything 🫲🤨🫱
Bring back Skate Everything Wars! Those were the best!
I got an idea for a video for the Braille House Crew!! Lets see a Jaws inspired video where the whole crew goes out and explores to find and do sets of stairs from 1 to how ever many the Braille Crew can get too! I think the street view and the committing to doing bigger sets will be great content!! BUT!!! You all have to wear helmets! Cause lets make wearing helmets cool! Look at Andy and JD! the reason they go big is their skill... and head protection!!
I'd love to see Derek Progress and become a Braille skater.
Derek is learning to ollie higher so a kickflip is in his future!!!
Okay now it’s time for Gabe to drop in on vert
my ollies are high and i can land them but for some reason it seems like my back foot just leaves the board then comes back it doesnt stay with the board like i see most skate boarders do is there a way to fix that ?
Man I remember I used to Ollie 3 decks interlocked and they were all like 10 inches then. I probably couldn't Ollie over a couple interlocked 8s now 😅👴
Go on Derek, FIRST TRY 👏
I love these
Now for shuvit and kickflip next
I broke my ankle at 12 years old trying to Ollie over 2x12 back in 2009. 😅
Can you skate a finger board?
So rad… congrats D
Well in Derek!!
Derek is his own worst enemy in these
How do I submit ideas 🤔🤔🤔
What if I ollie on to a skateboard
Day 1 of asking you to visit the las Cruces new Mexico skate park
My name is Aron Kyro and Ricky Glasser is totally not defending all the weird stuff on this channel.
i love it when derek is in the video.
i like these better than lance's even though his were great. loved the lance dance. 19:30 derick dance
Now it's time for the kickflip Derek
Don't think just do.😊
That first board he cleared, could have been 2!
now we gotta see the kickflip derek!!!
Awesome
Braille, dont hide the truth!!! tell the viewers!
It’s began, came here just to find this comment f braille man they need to be cancelled
now he can ollie onto boxes and off
Where has Aaron been ? And why every time I comment about it it gets deleted ?
Just want you to know D, i am doing the same thing recently.
Yes
How to ollie over carlos
Why Derek learn kickflip first before learning ollie?😂
Now he just needs to kickflip
This was soooo hard for me even tho I knew my Ollie is was higher , what helped me was finding grass and going over the board and landing in the grass to build confidence
He’s a “real” skater now lol. You can cruise the streets ollieing up and down curbs freely.
lets go... kickflip next tho
Guys cmon braille just make a vid about it
Great
