I actually think this is the best Braille video ever. Super instructive, humbling and just overall great episode, keep up the great work guys, we really appreciate you and your work!
Andy spreading the knowledge on how to learn and practice airs the correct way is like a masterclass, seriously. People say practice makes perfect but I say only perfect practice makes perfect. What Andy is showing right there is perfect practice and it looks so easy when he does it.
The excitement i got from watching you guys finally nail the trick is surreal! I'm 35 years old and just started skateboarding recently. Your dedication and commitment to everything you do is such an inspiration to me. You are doing wonderful things for the world of skateboarding and I hope I can only do it justice in my own journey! Thank you all so much!
hahaha SO true. He's got that never aging Keanu Reeves / Tom Cruise mojo going on... which I just realized they all look somewhat similar... maybe they're all the same person!?!?!
Tom Cruise and Keanu are absolutely laced up with plastic surgeries and makeup. Andy is just a real dude, living the real life and keeping crazy fit and healthy.
@@Jwarddesign-ca Doesn't hurt that since he's became successful (and clean. don't know if he's straight edge but he doesn't abuse anything) he doesn't have the usual stresses that cause most of us to age prematurely.
Aaron needs to revisit the vert wall. Maybe when he goes back to the vert ramp after skating the vert wall it will be more comfortable. And Aaron and Ricky More Frontside Board Slides!! Please
WOOOOOOOOW 17:21 to 20:40 Hands down the best tutorial on how to learn how to air. He has answered so many questions I've been having. And even made me realize things that have been in the back of my mind but did not know how to articulate. I am so excited to go back out to skate and try these tips.
I think watching skilled skaters do the beginner tricks is my favorite. When they learn it and just throw so much style and their own unique skills. Love it
The way Andy Mac breaks things down is amazing. I also think that experiences like this will help JD step into his own as a teacher, great things to come for him.
Maaaan, I have been learning bs airs this winter and successfuly landed few but struggling to do them over the coping. Also got few hangups and that is really scary. But watching this video and Andy explaining airs helped me realize lot of new stuff about them. Thanks a lot for this video and I hope we will see more vert videos coming.
The ramp always looks big when the braille guys ride it, but even warming up with the test slides, andy mac is so comfortable and practiced on huge ramps that he makes the braille ramp look small
Wow 🤯 just so cool to have andy there with everybody and get his perspective 😊👍 really enjoyed this episode cuz both ricky and aaron were intimidated and scared about how they were gonna look and do and that actually pushed them to greatness. My point is the both of you CAN do great things if you think you can but if you think you can't...it will always end in failure. Have faith my braille brothers 😎👏❤🔥 great job guys.
It is now my goal to build a mini ramp at my house by the end of the year (probably gonna be 5 foot). This series has been an awesome inspiration to start getting into transition skating so thank you! And Andy Mac is the GOAT yo!!!
I still vividly remember Andy Mac doing a Triple Kickflip Indy on vert at a contest in Oceanside, California back in like 2001 or 2002. He went like 9 feet out to get enough air time to get the board to flip three times. The cool part was the contest was over. It was getting late, the sun was going down, and he kept trying it just because he wanted to make it, and he did. I wish I would have got it on video, because I’ve never seen anyone else do it before or since.
Andy is speaking true facts. I love street but I wanna skate transition more and try vert too. That way I'm more well rounded and keep learning when I skate. The number of tricks you can do on a board is infinite.
Andy's finesse makes it look very achievable although it does disguise the complexity of what is actually involved. Its is very inspirational to watch! For me the physics and fear makes those subtle movements (used to achieve a backside air) extremely difficult. Andy is one of my hero's and his instructional video on vert skating is the reason I can skate a vert ramp, thank you Andy love you man. For me attaining a backside came by using a melon early grab and working my way up the wall. Of course everyone's body and proprioception is different. Can anyone please tell me how big the Braille Skateboarding vert ramp in this footage is?
Man I wonder what AK had going on in the dome right before he dropped in and threw that air cause it was dope and it was like he had confidence or something, it was wicked cool
I’ve got messed up knees and hips now even though I’m only 28, but I miss skating. Haven’t skated in a couple of years, and it’s been over 10 since I skated at all consistently. I don’t wanna do stairs and big drops or little handrails like I did in my teens, but watching an older guy (sorry Aaron! Just a little older!) carving on a nice vert ramp like that made me genuinely jones to get out and carve some transitions. Especially when you look at how healthy guys like Tony Hawk and Andy Macdonald are compared to street guys of comparable age, (Chad Muska for instance) it seems like vert is just much nicer to your body over time. Seeing them slide down on their knee pads and decelerate properly instead of slamming into concrete like you do jumping down stairs just looks so much healthier for your joints.
Sometimes I feel like Braille just tries to hard, and things feel really staged and silly. This video was just pure, genuine, honest skating and learning, with a huge sample of humility. THIS is what I'd love to see more of!
I love that Aaron is out here pushing himself. He’s the most vocal about how scared he is to try these things yet here he is learning and crushing
Yes!🙌
I actually think this is the best Braille video ever. Super instructive, humbling and just overall great episode, keep up the great work guys, we really appreciate you and your work!
❤🙌
Thank you!
But a glass skateboard
Andy Mac was the only skater to write me back as a kid in like 1998 lol
He is one of the most genuine and kind people I have ever met
@@brailleskateboarding I believe it just by watching this video and interaction with you all. Wow
No 24 year old puts lol
I was born in 98😂
Andy = ✨🐐✨
💯
The energy in these episodes is amazing.
This was by far my favorite episode in the vert series. Andy Mac was a great teacher.
Same, genuinely stoked for Aaron and Ricky
Thanks for the love!🙌❤

Preach it brotha!
Nigel looking like a proud dad when Aaron's skating Vert.
Nah he just looks high
@@bigbrenis4582 He's blown 😂
I like how your telling Andy Macdonald the issues and feelings of certain tricks and he gives you advice like a doctor.
The excitement i got from watching you guys finally nail the trick is surreal! I'm 35 years old and just started skateboarding recently. Your dedication and commitment to everything you do is such an inspiration to me. You are doing wonderful things for the world of skateboarding and I hope I can only do it justice in my own journey!

Andy Macdonald has basically looked like a fit 32 year old man for my entire life.
🙌💯

A real dude living the real life... Lol goals
Absolute massive legend that should be better known outside skating's circle. One of the most genuine and kind human beings I've ever met.
Aaron: launches his board into a light fixture
Also Aaron: Why's it so dark up here?
🤣
Aaron needs to revisit the vert wall. Maybe when he goes back to the vert ramp after skating the vert wall it will be more comfortable. And Aaron and Ricky More Frontside Board Slides!! Please
this is my all time fave Braille series! Go Ricky and Aaron!
Thanks for the love!❤
My favorite vert video out of 8 so far! How to learn/do backside air this way is great.
Never really heard Andy Mac talk. Really cool guy. Always wrote him off back in the day. Had no idea his list of achievements. So much more respect
Andy and Tony did doubles recently. Look it up. It was a remake of their doubles run in 2001.
@@Mattamus Makes me wonder if its the same yellow helmet all these years
WOOOOOOOOW

yeah. agreed!
Please do more vert videos! They are my favorite 😍 you guys are killing it and a huge inspiration
Love that break down of airs by mr. Mac
Ricky’s little pep talk with Aaron had me laughing so hard 🤣
🤣
I think watching skilled skaters do the beginner tricks is my favorite. When they learn it and just throw so much style and their own unique skills. Love it
We got a legend in the room 💯
💯💯
I remember learning of Andy Mac from backyard skateboarding, been one of my favorites ever since!
Amazing!
It’s awesome when someone like Andy Mac shows up and during his warm up you can clearly see there are some serious levels to this stuff.
love the vert stuff..Aaron seems really happy pushing himself again
I have learnt loads of new mini ramp tricks thanks to arron kyro and his tips
💯🙌
The way Andy Mac breaks things down is amazing. I also think that experiences like this will help JD step into his own as a teacher, great things to come for him.
Aaron congrats on the growth you are showing people that at your age is possible no matter what.
I love the message at the end! It positively applies to all sorts of things in life 🙏
You guys rock!! Thanks for sharing!! And thanks for the lessons!
Thanks for the love!❤🙌
Andy Mac’s trick explanation is magical 🔥
wow he's such a great and supportive teacher
Maaaan, I have been learning bs airs this winter and successfuly landed few but struggling to do them over the coping. Also got few hangups and that is really scary. But watching this video and Andy explaining airs helped me realize lot of new stuff about them. Thanks a lot for this video and I hope we will see more vert videos coming.

That series are really inspiring to all skateboarders including me. Andy's knowledge is huge!!!
im so proud of u guys thats awsome
Haven’t been this excited after watching one of your vids in a few.
The ramp always looks big when the braille guys ride it, but even warming up with the test slides, andy mac is so comfortable and practiced on huge ramps that he makes the braille ramp look small
Thank you Braille Team you inspired me to skateboard and you made me have more confidence in me
No, thank you for pushing skateboarding!!
it makes me happy to see aaron starting to do airs
🙌🙌
“You’re only a failure if you don’t get back up” - Andy
I rate that
So proud of Aaron's progression. Wow
💯
Dude, I would not mind if these guys came more often. Crazy!

Dude is an excellent teacher.
This video was Awesome, I feel like I learned so much! This just makes me want to do skate
If you get the Braille App, there's tons of other beginners on there and even more advanced skaters to help you too!!
That was so dope! Hearing Andy's story is inspiring
Andy is very detailled in the explanations!
I just dislocated my are yesterday and am now in a sling. I was trying a backside 360 air. I can't wait to get back on the board!
I downloaded the app , I really liked it !!! I love you !!
It is now my goal to build a mini ramp at my house by the end of the year (probably gonna be 5 foot). This series has been an awesome inspiration to start getting into transition skating so thank you! And Andy Mac is the GOAT yo!!!

This vert ramp at braille is a dream come true
I feel like Andy told Aaron what Aaron tells everyone in SMS..."Just bend that back knee" 😂
Andy is the man !!! He is the father of skateboarding, really he teach thing very well !
So sick! Nice progression AK.
Man I wonder what AK had going on in the dome right before he dropped in and threw that air cause it was dope and it was like he had confidence or something, it was wicked cool

Wow Great job guys...that was some fast progression
Andy @ Andy are great skate teachers, always gain something from listening to the way they explain skate physics.
Love your vids
Thanks!
Andy always blows me away with just being the nicest dude.
Sometimes I feel like Braille just tries to hard, and things feel really staged and silly. This video was just pure, genuine, honest skating and learning, with a huge sample of humility. THIS is what I'd love to see more of!

We need more vert videos.
Andy Macdonald is amazing
