Even though its just an Ollie, some dude from New Zealand went there by himself and self filmed himself Ollie the stairs, and i truly think that one of the gnarliest things that’s been done,
2:33 between the impact of landing that tail whip and the security lady pulling up in her goofy vehicle just screaming her lungs out that was one of the hardest clips i have ever seen.
@@dedelabinouze5110 My first reaction was nobody ever half cab'd it. But then I looked up Dude Begin El Toro. Funny they call it Half Cab in BMXing as well.
Yeah that tail whip is beautiful. Humans at their best! Fuck the Karen, but your right she added that extra Karen factor that makes a clip legendary lol
In my head, anyone who lands a trick there is in a small league of special people. That’s badass you were able to put yourself into that elite category. You act like it’s no big deal, but a 50-50 to 180 out and filming yourself while doing, what was it, a lipslide?!, dude, that’s sick!! 🤘🏼
Oh my god, I just saw this comment right after making my comment above. I really think it was Conor O'Brien. He went to my high school and he did that down it. We were in high school from 99-03. He did it during that timeframe. I was a skateboarder but I remember him showing me the footage. He was a pro blader.
I've lived next to this stair my whole life, went to school here, I'm not a skater, but anyone who can put two feet on a board and roll for two seconds is a beast
@@DernBrothers also another little fun fact is that the schools principals favorite thing to do on Mondays is watch the camera above the 20 to see what went down over the weekend. I went to highschool there and he told me that one day.
Mannnn Joslin 360 flip.... that'll stick in your nightmares for YEARS having a roll away Fall off like that. Artos did front board, Shane Cross over overcrook was big news when he did it. Tosh Townend feeble, Matt Mumford Smith, Nick Merlino switch Ollie it, Foy also front feeble which is insane. Clive did a regular noseblunt I think also which is maybe harder in a way. Dave Bachinski kickflip was game changing when that came out! I still think Reynolds could've handled the FS flip too! Great video though! Just added a few more :)
There is a few more we should have included we just didnt want the video to go too long, probably should have kept in Shane, We would have loved to see Reynolds try the set! 🤘
@@DernBrothers Just curious, why is that a 22 rail but the main gap is called a 20 stair? What's stopping someone from just ollieing the 22 stair, has anyone tried that?
Madars' firecracker down it blows my mind every time I see it. He looks so in control of it, like he's gliding down the stairs almost. Very satisfying to watch how smoothly he rolls out of it, too.
For me, the Dave B. Kickflip will prolly be the gnarliest. If Joslin landed his tre, that might've been the best in history. I mean, the most stairs I kickflipped was 10, and that felt scary AF. You really feel like you're in the air forever. Can't imagine how these gnarly insane skaters feel.
That tre flip counts. His truck broke. He stuck it and rode away as clean as he could've but rolled to a halt due to the broken truck. If that truck didn't break that's a make. I count it honestly. Board malfunctioned, he did everything perfectly. He counts it too.
I went to El Toro from 99-02 and my science teacher let me show the Birdhouse video El Toro part (VHS) in 99 in front of the class-it was great. Back when that happened it was the talk of the town.
Nick Merlino switch ollie was probably the heaviest switch ollie I’ve ever seen. He was straight up flying. Having to go that fast switch then jump down a mountain is crazy.
30 sec mark with the board slide with the Rob Zombie in the background was perfect timing lol that was a bad ass clip and edit 🔥 props to who edited that
no one ever mentions dan Pague, he's NUTS trying that switch fs Boardslide. Paid the price too. But dang what a Legend trying that on El Toro. Still the crazest trick tried there. The back tailSlide is a close second.
Need a whole video of just the selfie lip. Cane from the nine club had to show love and good vibes. Love yalls content and look forward to everything. UA-cam content, video parts, sweet photos and maybe some thrasher edits ;) All love fam
Kanaans part in painkiller helped me commit to 50 50s on round rails and my first 7 stair Because when I was trying to them I was listening to Guns N’ Roses from his part. It inspired me because of all his huge bails
@@DernBrothers and I want you to know how much I enjoy y’all taking the time to reply back. I know it can’t last forever as the channel grows, but is super rad. In my days I’ve got to shake hands with Jamie Thomas and the Fallen team back in 05’ I got to meet JT again in 2017 and message Corey Duffel and the Dern Bro’s. It’s super freakin awesome!!!
please continue this series! just watched the carlsbadone and its great, I wish I could make these myself, looks really fun to go see these historic spots and talk about it
That 5050 180 out was insane so sick you got an NBD at El Toro, props for that! Arturo Sanchez bs feebled it, I don't know if he was the first one, to do it. Im just stoked about it because he grew up where I did in Chula Vista I also knew about a guy that was on Willys Workshop almost fs 180d it, but didn't make it The back tail was insane too, saludos
hey you guys forgot to mention the back lip done down it by the guy who was on Blind for a minute, what was his name...Carlos Ruiz! he also switch 50 50 'd a 20 stair hubba, the guy was gnarly. his back lip had him floating out in space about 10 foot above the rail but he still manages to stay on it and roll away- so crazy. Also after watching Corey Duffel break both arms tryna back tail on that hubba in another vid u guys did, i'm calling out Adrien Bulards back tail as the most dangerous and therefore gnarliest trick done down the rail- that shit was crazy u can tell that gnarly frenchman just loves to get buck wild!
Very cool. I know there is that set to the right that gravette did a back salad on that I think is a 20 as well and I think that 18 or 20 that miles sivas back noseblunted is somewhere around there too. For my money the sickest tricks are Arto's front board on the middle rail, adrien's back tail and jamie's front crook. Whenever I see the set I aways think back to matt mumford with the first try smith on the middle rail in the 90s.
I know you probably don’t like scooters around here but some Dante hutichson back flipped it..and some crazy other crazy scooter stuff if you’re interested haha
@@DernBrothers look up “dissidence coalition v3”they get all the best scooter riders together from around the world to film a part and then pick a winner each year. The last one they all went to el toro and honestly threw down
Heys guys.. dig the channel. Love how you guys throw the history to the spots. And how the spot was..and how it is today. I think it would be cool and go one step farther... naming the Architect who designed this spot. And when. And how much they have done to it.. trying to keep people from skating it. Hell I'd like to know who in the city of that spot makes those decisions..! Lol. I play.. maby that's a little to far 😉
Even though its just an Ollie, some dude from New Zealand went there by himself and self filmed himself Ollie the stairs, and i truly think that one of the gnarliest things that’s been done,
It's like frodo going to mordor without Sam
@@luijazzpiano LOL.
@@TheCultureProjects7 What skater was that?
@@andy54443 his name is Scott olds. I think if you just search Ollie eltoro it will come up with his account
Fr no one there to help him if he breaks his ankle or something
2:33 between the impact of landing that tail whip and the security lady pulling up in her goofy vehicle just screaming her lungs out that was one of the hardest clips i have ever seen.
dude begin's half cab was insane as well
😂 I read THIS comment and had to rewind the video
@@dedelabinouze5110 My first reaction was nobody ever half cab'd it. But then I looked up Dude Begin El Toro. Funny they call it Half Cab in BMXing as well.
If you look up Lil Juice El Toro you can see the whole process with her showing up and yelling at them
Yeah that tail whip is beautiful. Humans at their best! Fuck the Karen, but your right she added that extra Karen factor that makes a clip legendary lol
I really liked it the way you switched back in time and showed the tricks after talking about them.
In my head, anyone who lands a trick there is in a small league of special people. That’s badass you were able to put yourself into that elite category. You act like it’s no big deal, but a 50-50 to 180 out and filming yourself while doing, what was it, a lipslide?!, dude, that’s sick!! 🤘🏼
The tre flip counts, in my book.
Pretty much does! 🤘
Joslin doesn't think so but it does count, he 100% landed it
I did a boardslide down a 17 set back in 1992 and sketched out at the bottom like Joslin. I'm still claiming it as a make 30 years later!!
Joslin was SO mad lol
Especially since the reason he bailed at the end was because his trucks had broken on the impact
DECENZO NOLLIED IT!!!! Why does everyone forget about Decenzo?
Gravette hit the rail on the other side with a salad I think. Don’t know why they didn’t show the other side.
I think shane cross did a Smith grind too, not sure though
@@frenchskateboarder869 nosegrind actually
This was actually educational too. Love it
We are glad we are able to educate you all!
I was skating the quad area and saw a kid roll up on rollerblades and 180 it back in 99'. It was nuts
Roller blades is cheating.
Someone did a fakie 720 in rollerblades down it a while back
@@-______-______- Rollerblading is easier but once you jump you’re done, there’s no way to bail, which makes it scarier in my opinion
That is awesome!
Oh my god, I just saw this comment right after making my comment above. I really think it was Conor O'Brien. He went to my high school and he did that down it. We were in high school from 99-03.

the fact he filmed himself doing that is absolutely nuts, i cant even smoothly film myself doing a kf without the camera going crazy
I've lived next to this stair my whole life, went to school here, I'm not a skater, but anyone who can put two feet on a board and roll for two seconds is a beast
Thanks for the mention! I also grinded up it to tailwhip on a bmx and also was the first and only mountainbike to grind down it as well
For sure! And that’s amazing! I’m going to look up those clips. We are glad you saw our video. 🤘🏻
@@DernBrothers also another little fun fact is that the schools principals favorite thing to do on Mondays is watch the camera above the 20 to see what went down over the weekend. I went to highschool there and he told me that one day.
@@DylanStarkTVthat's actually fucking sick. Have a flask and watch bodies huck their way down to fame. Bout it!
Do this for more spots! Love it 💪🏻
Yeah we might do more videos like this in the future! This one was a lot of fun
The mixture of classical music and death metal is amazing
So glad you added David Gonzalez when he was 15!!! One of my favorite clips, some crazy slams too
Such a gnarly clip!
Damn that BMX JUMP OFF THE ROOF MADE EL TORO LOOK LIKE A CURB !
As an old head skateboarder and a classical musician. This video was beautiful

Joslin actually broke his truck on that, which is why his board shoots out sideways.
Someone on zero 5-0d it too
@@jedlynch4820 nice totally forgot about that! It was Ben Gilley. He kinda just disappeared, wonder what became of him. He was def sick!
Man i had no idea el toro had a 22 rail! Thanks for the history lesson boys!🫡 this video was very well done !
We are glad we can share this informational message with you!
@@DernBrothers Just curious, why is that a 22 rail but the main gap is called a 20 stair? What's stopping someone from just ollieing the 22 stair, has anyone tried that?
I think the music made this video even more educational.
Thank you for attending History of El Toro 101
This series is so incredibly rad and well done. Thank you boys
The classical violin music really made this video have an heir of sophistication. Bravo gentlemen, bravo!

Skating the rail of a high school 20 stairs gap to backside kickflip, frontside heelflip, nollie bluntslide, and etc.
The bmx land next to the golf cart was sick
So refreshing to see a UA-cam channel using legit extreme metal. But time props from this old metalpunk. Rokkenroll boys.
30 sec mark with the board slide with the Rob Zombie in the background was perfect timing lol that was a bad ass clip and edit 🔥 props to who edited that
Dope. Do more spots. Hyped on it.
We plan on it! 🤘
You got to mention Chris Haffey's fakie 720 on rollerblades.
“Why do they have to prevent us from skating such legendary spots?”
**Drives full size 15 passenger van down stair case**
As a South Bay native, I greatly appreciate the skate history for all the younglings here.
The fact kanaan has an nbd on EL TORO is insane. Esp a 180 out of a grind down a rail that steep
A bmxer grinded up the right side rail years ago. Crazy stuff
We will have to look that clip up!
This video came up on my suggestions and I’m not mad at it! Super sick video with a lot of great skateboard history! Thank you!
We are stoked you enjoyed it! 🤘🤘🤘
no one ever mentions dan Pague, he's NUTS trying that switch fs Boardslide. Paid the price too. But dang what a Legend trying that on El Toro. Still the crazest trick tried there. The back tailSlide is a close second.

First read it as you being inspired bc of "his huge balls". Lol.
Thank you for mentioned bmx. 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
🤘🤘🤘
I loved that bs 180 by the Ryan guy, so steezy and floaty
That nollie blunt....I think by far the best looking trick from all of them.
The nollie flip to late flop was pretty awesome. Great vid
Haha thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

Never seen the bmxer tail whip it, that was so dope with security cart right there in the way
So dope, thanks for the tour guys 🤘
Glad you enjoyed our tour of El Toro!
Amazing history !🫡❤️
OMG!!! Thank you for the clip at 4:02
50-50 180 was dope. You tricked the rail and then did a trick out.
The bike clips were sick too.
most important channel on youtube
7:54 I think you invented a new trick haha
the impact of that tail whip land was absolutely ruthless
A video so nice, I had to watch it twice.
Yes!! 🤘
Very good for a first video!
My hands are sweating watching this! Sick lol
please continue this series! just watched the carlsbadone and its great, I wish I could make these myself, looks really fun to go see these historic spots and talk about it
Great job gents - digged the video....
Thank you very much!
So good y’all are on a killing spree 😍💚🔥
Thanks Mickey!
That GoPro clip of Kansan was is insane!!
i met the big brother of dan pageau at the skatepark yesterday, cant believe i was that lucky to see his relatives skating.
don't ever undermind that 5050 180 that was incredible!!!
Shane Cross had the FS Smith & Nose Grind down the middle rail.
"Chris joslin almost treflipped it......
Some guy tried to go down it in a shopping cart" lmfaoooooo
That 5050 180 out was insane so sick you got an NBD at El Toro, props for that!

This series is sick
Destin is absurdly good at skateboarding.
Love this series. Make more!!!
Why do I feel like I've never seen that back 180 down El Toro
Jaws skating that thing naked looks like an Aphex Twin video.
They drove a fucking VAN down it, I've seen almost every other clip but the van one lmao that's so legendary!!
We love the van clip! haha
This video was awesome! Keep'm coming!!!
Finnish EU Arto Saari made bs lipslide on that center huuuuge rail🤙
Chris haffey did a fakie 720 over it
Yep. That's insane !!

Great video, never seen the mountain bike guy off the roof 😮👏👏
Yeah the mountain bike guy was nuts!
Is it not possible to go around the gates for a grind on the rail
Whats the song in nuge's ollie down it sequence?
I think if Joslin try to Treflip it years ago he would’ve done it. He did the UC Davis gap back then and that’s about the same size.
Love the content! Awesome stuff to watch and reminisce.
Winston church hill hit some nasty bmx tricks down those stairs
We will look them up!
@@DernBrothers my b it was Stevie Churchill my phone auto corrected it to Winston for some reason
Thanks Dern Bros for this masterclass 🙏🏽🙏🏽💙🛹
What about Tosh Townend's feeble in the 411 Wheels of Fortune video? He was just a kid, too.

I watched that tail whip like 5 min after it dropped originally was so fcuking sick
You guys gotta b the most underrated channel on UA-cam seriously why you haven't blown up yet is beyond me
El Torritooo 🐂
am I the only one who thinks Jaws and his boys are kooks for popping champagne and carrying on like that
On the original rail there is bump on the middle where it goes down and up again not making it easier to slide down.
