As a 40 year old dude who just started skating again, this is truly inspiring. Awesome job Jeremy. Thanks for showing us old men that we can still live the dream.
😳🤯 that’s awesome but I totally identify. I relearned to ride last year and dropped in for the first time in September. The getting there is a whole experience worth living through. Best days of my year, some of the best of my life
Congratulations Jeremy, I'm 34 and just started skating, I've never done it before and I'm so scared when trying something new. I've already hurt my elbow and my ankle, but I don't care about the pain as I find it so much fun. This video is an inspiration for me.
Man someone's gotta tell him to stop apologizing. No one cares how long it takes you. Learning a trick is a battle between you and the board. We are all just here to support, motivate, and see him succeed. He's just gotta do this for himself. I'm sure the pressure of doing it for the channel isn't easy to overcome though.
This is amazing! I am a 40yr old Dad and just dropped in on vert ramp for the first time this past weekend! Such a crazy mental battle. I could feel all the emotions just watching this. Very cool video seeing someone overcome such a scary task.
I love seeing people's accomplishments like this, especially in our 40s. Congrats Jeremy. Thank you Braille for awesome content like this, tips and how tos, and the motivation to try new things. At 43 years old, I recently ollied onto a box for the first time. That may not sound impressive but it is a big deal for me. You're never too old!!!
30 and terrified. But I got myself some Pads and a Helmet, and started hitting up the 5'-9' bowl combo near my house, and little by little I am starting to feel like Caballero! Keep it up and respect your limits, you'll get it!
Loved watching this! I'm 42 and have just bought my first board since 1990. Need to remember how to just push off first but feeling motivated to get out later today after watching this :)
Beautiful work Jeremy, Way to represent the older crew.Hearing you talk yourself through it was a real joy, and the love and support and sincerity of everyone there was also beautiful. Shred on and keep spreading the love. 🙏🏽🤙🏽❤️
I like this. I'm 42 and have my first board in close to 20 years on the way. My daughter has started skating and I figured the best way to teach her is for me to relearn with her. This gives me encouragement that I'm not going to die when I fall.
I watch your videos for years but never stopped to comment. This video was amazing and the adrenaline is real, we all know how it is in the first drop in... also today I got a proper vert board and went back to the half pipe after this vert series happening now, feels great to be back at the board, thank you for sharing the passion
Yo one way to help get over the height scare, is simply lay down n put your eye level at the coping... you'll realize the drastic difference in height because your eye level is 5 to 6 feet above your feet which is where literally all the action is taking place. So if you mentally subtract your current eye level and your body height, it helps ease some fear...but don't get me wrong, not fully fearless as bails happen
As a former skateboarder, past their 20s, I felt every bit of this video. When Jeremy dropped in, I clapped loud….shouted like it was a last second shot…..and felt so happy for him. Great video peeps
I’m 47 and it has always been my dream to be able to skate vert! I’ve never dropped in on vert ramp, so this was crazy inspiring! Thank you Jeremy and congrats!!! Well done!!!
so I got my beginner skateboard from braille finally and In a week i have learned how to ollie stationary and moving pretty consistently, i did a pop shuv it and then I did two to make it true this week I play to go to the skatepark so I can try out some ramps thank everyone from braille for motivating me to start skating, ricky if you somehow read this you are the main reason I started skating thank you so much you impact more people than you could know.
I'm about the same age and I COMPLETELY relate to everything he was going through with one exception: I'm not afraid of heights, I'm afraid of falling. I've wanted to learn how to drop in since about 6th grade, and now I've learned a couple things from watching this that would definitely help.
i'm repeating myself a lot but JD has me mesmerized every time i see him skate vert (his age!!!) hope i live to see him at 40 but i'll be like 70 + so fingers crossed for my longevity ;) also i'm 42 and get what he says about the mental thing you guys bounce/slide we break (usually a hip) kudos to him! that was amazeballs go him!
@Jeremy Vest I feel you brother. thanks for doing the video. I am 46 myself and just started skating again after 30 years. Thanks to all of you at braille I just learned heelflips, 360 shoves and I am working on kickflips after only 2 months. I could not do any of these tricks (maybe the 360 shoves, I cannot remember for sure) 30 years ago. Keep it up brother you are an inspiration to all of us creepy old dudes. I will say even though I do get injured 🤕easier, having that wisdom that comes with age helps me to learn a lot faster than when I was younger, so there is a net positive in my mind.
Love this, just rediscovered skateboarding through you guys at Braille as a 48 yr old, now ordering parts to build myself and my 11yr old son boards so we can learn together, Love the instructional vids, We will start with baby steps, download the app and see how we go.
Nice stuff! As a mid-40 year old also getting back into it, I can totally relate to the mental battle. Nothing seems to get "on lock" anymore. Things I've done many times (ollies, rock to fakie on a mini-ramp) are still super awkward as my muscle memory seems to consist of remembering the pain of failures. Oh well. Videos like this tell me I should keep going. Perhaps even document my progress for added incentive...
I love this so much!!! I started skating 5 months ago (im 45) and this is all soooo accurate. The ganes that the mind plays with you are real! The struggle is huge! I was so super stoked when i conquered my fears and dropped in on a 6 foot, it was amazing! My instagram has now turned in to all skate stuff....its addictive and i love it so much! Wish we had an indoor skatepark hete in Tasmania. Loving these videos!
Heck I'm 25, and I'm terrified of heights. This is just a testament about never being to old to accomplish your goals, or face your fears. This was such a real, and wholesome video. I could feel the terror of dropping in on that ramp, but the joy of it all afterwards was so rewarding. Makes me wonder how terrifying the Braille Drop was back when Carlos used to do it every other video.
its the same dad, who dropped in the pool in an earlier video right? man, you inspired me to start skating! I am not quite there yet, I can drop in on banks, but I´ll get there eventually! keep it up! you totally gave me hope and I´m actually 10 years younger :D
Way to go Glo's dad! The way I get over the fear in situations like that is I think "what is the worst that can happen? I could sprain my wrist? Well I sprained my wrist just trying to ollie on flat ground before, so how is this any worse?"
Just ordered pads so I can attempt a ramp drop in. Thanks for the inspiration. I’m older than Jeremy and started skating only recently after moving too far away from the beach to surf anymore.
Love this video, thanks for the inspiration Jeremy. I've just started learning to skate (34) and I really want to learn how to kickflip. Still working on pushing and being on the board but I'm gonna keep trying
im terrified of rollercoasters (never been on one) but Ricki putting it in to context really hit me. I don't skate a lot, I'm a beginner. But I snowboard a lot and I definitely have done more dangerous things on the mountain hahaha
I skated vert when I was a kid. Took like a 15 year break from skating before picking it up and skating vert TERRIFIES me. Watching Jeremy have the battle with himself gave me flashbacks. Truly incredible!
Man mad props to Jeremy for doing this. 11 ft is no joke. I totally understand the mental block at 40 plus. I recently came up with a saying. "Skating when your over 40 is all about easing mind to allow the body do what the heart wants". I may need to clean that up but you know what I mean. Mad props to Jeremy. You did it!
12:50 LOL I do the same thing glo! Once it comes to bigger heights knowing it’s dangerous but get you’re self hyped to let the Aztec warrior side take over 🇲🇽
I messed up my ankle bad on a huge board slide and had thoughts of seriously slowing down my skating but this really changed me mind and I thank you guys
Good job Dad!!!! 🎉👏👏👏
Thanks McNugget
Is it you real dad
@@linnealarsen7345 i think he's lik 6 of their dads... ??...
@@linnealarsen7345 I’m your daddy

As a 40 year old dude who just started skating again, this is truly inspiring. Awesome job Jeremy. Thanks for showing us old men that we can still live the dream.
37 and first time on a board in over 20 years so I feel the hype. I'm so keen to get back into it!
45 years old and picked up skating again 4 years ago (ramp skating)
Huge respect to anyone over 30 who picks up a skateboard.
I'm 59 I'm thinking about getting one the only park in town cement slab with metal 4' quarter pipe 6'8' rails small park. I want to pick up again.
@@brianjacobsen5762 that’s awesome !! 🤘🏼🛹
32 yold female, just started, don't plan to stop 🙌🙌🙌
We out here
44 , been learning skate for 4 moths
What’s funny is they’ll be able to use the same title of this video when gabe drops in in about 21 years ❤️
Gabe is 23 btw still can't believe he's almost a year younger than me lol
Lmaoooo
😂😂💀
LMAOOOOOI
I'm 34 and I still have tinges of PTSD from learning to drop-in on a mini ramp back in the day. Brave man!
I did the flat bottom body on a 6 footer...will never forget that.
@@MrLangDog same but on a 7 two times back to back 🤦 thought I could get it on the second attempt lol
Jeremy handled this amazingly! Nice job Jeremy! ✨
My mom who is 38 yo, was watching this with me on TV and she is now thinking to start skating, I can't believe this at all. 😳💕
😳🤯 that’s awesome but I totally identify. I relearned to ride last year and dropped in for the first time in September. The getting there is a whole experience worth living through. Best days of my year, some of the best of my life
Hhmm....
I'm a 39 year old mom and started back a few months ago after not skating since 4th or 5th grade. Go mama! :)
Hhmm....

I loved how vocal he was. Like we got to hear his mental battle
My palms were sweating and my heart was racing just watching this! Inspirational af💪❤️
overcoming an intense fear is super hard! Kudos to you for pulling through!!

The positivity in the Braille house is so awesome. I love your guys energy. You guys are so supportive, and it’s epic!!!
as a 33 year old skater who is terrified of vert, mad props to this man

Glo's dad needs to be in more videos! So hyped for Jeremy! He motivates everybody not just the older guys.
This video was a gem fellas. Great job on that mental battle Jeremy!
Easier said than done and AMAZING JOB!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😱😱😱🥳🥳😝😝😝🥳🥳🥳😎

As a 41 yo gigantic Braille fan, and a new skater this was one of my favorite videos I've watched on your channel. Thank you, Jeremy!
Im so psyched and like... proud!!! That was beautiful!!
my heart was pounding for him my g keep it up

After seeing Gabe pump around I’m genuinely confused why he’s so apprehensive about dropping in. He has that so easy!!!

Pad up just don’t give up...👏👏👏👍👍👏👏
Can we see more of Jezza? Dude is awesome. I'm 43 and in awe. I skated in my early teens, would love to get back on a board
As a former skateboarder, past their 20s, I felt every bit of this video.
When Jeremy dropped in, I clapped loud….shouted like it was a last second shot…..and felt so happy for him.
Great video peeps
I’m 47 and it has always been my dream to be able to skate vert! I’ve never dropped in on vert ramp, so this was crazy inspiring! Thank you Jeremy and congrats!!! Well done!!!
Have you dropped in since then?
Getting back into skating at 34, this is 100% and inspiration
so I got my beginner skateboard from braille finally and In a week i have learned how to ollie stationary and moving pretty consistently, i did a pop shuv it and then I did two to make it true this week I play to go to the skatepark so I can try out some ramps thank everyone from braille for motivating me to start skating, ricky if you somehow read this you are the main reason I started skating thank you so much you impact more people than you could know.
What an amazing video. This was so inspiring and real. Love how real this dude , ricky and mogly and glo were with each other. Love it!
i can feel you man....greetings from Germany
Congrats Jeremy!!! 35 here and I'm learning to slide on a longboard and this, what you managed to do is so inspiring!!!!
So wholesome!
Pad up don’t give up! Best thing I’ve heard!!
“I dont like planes” Gabe is such a gem
17:51 JD's reaction to Mogely's confidence in his pads 😂
I'm about the same age and I COMPLETELY relate to everything he was going through with one exception: I'm not afraid of heights, I'm afraid of falling.
I've wanted to learn how to drop in since about 6th grade, and now I've learned a couple things from watching this that would definitely help.
Bro I didn’t expect him to just start bustin tricks out like that
Go, Jeremy!!!!! so awesome! I'm 39 and one day I hope to do the same. I have a long way to go since I just got started though. Jeremy, you rock, man!
i'm repeating myself a lot but JD has me mesmerized every time i see him skate vert (his age!!!) hope i live to see him at 40 but i'll be like 70 + so fingers crossed for my longevity ;) also i'm 42 and get what he says about the mental thing you guys bounce/slide we break (usually a hip) kudos to him! that was amazeballs go him!

Nice job dood! 57 here and just getting the 6 foot drops comfortable. One day I wanna be a vert dawg too! 🛹🔥
I legit cheered for the man. Well done, serious inspiration.
What an amazing guy. I'd love to see videos from Jeremy more. I said it last time. The dude is a legend and an inspiration.
Bro, everyone conquering fears and making big strides, Gabe you gotta get that drop in bro, if Jeremy and Glo can do it so can you, pad up and get it!
Rock on Jeremy! Looking forward to ordering the Jeremy vest deck!

VERT DAWWWWWG!!! Nice job Jeremy. Inspired me at 32. Going to try the 5ft at the park soon.
Thank you. The encouragement is welcomed!

That drop in on the vert was super clean, dude didnt even wobble. Big respect!
There’s no gap between you and the pros. Jeremy is amazing.
Papa Glow making us proud. Loved watching him talk himself into it, getting over that fear is big!
im terrified of rollercoasters (never been on one) but Ricki putting it in to context really hit me. I don't skate a lot, I'm a beginner. But I snowboard a lot and I definitely have done more dangerous things on the mountain hahaha
That was beautiful to watch. Mad respect for this dude ❤
Fully sick I'm blooming 42 and need to do that too... thanks 4 the inspirations.
Dude! What is all this modest talk! Lol sheddddin 🔥 lol trying to fool everybody like oh I don’t know what I’m doin haha killing it 🔥
Ha, well compared to these dudes anyways :-)
I'm 32 now, but remember this kind of fear dropping in on a 2 footer when I was 16. never went higher, mad respect :)
Seeing this man overcome this is better than any drug I've ever done.
I skated vert when I was a kid. Took like a 15 year break from skating before picking it up and skating vert TERRIFIES me. Watching Jeremy have the battle with himself gave me flashbacks. Truly incredible!
Truly inspirational. I can well imagine what was going through his head and I don't know if I could have overcome it like that.
Such a simple, but profound concept Ricky, thank you.
That’s so gnarly man mad respect to anyone who skates vert
From the title of the video, i thought it was intended for JD's dad... clicked on it right away like I wanna see this hahaha
Me too.
Man mad props to Jeremy for doing this. 11 ft is no joke. I totally understand the mental block at 40 plus. I recently came up with a saying. "Skating when your over 40 is all about easing mind to allow the body do what the heart wants". I may need to clean that up but you know what I mean.

More Jeremy vids!
thanks 🙌
These daily uploads are legendary, keep it going!
Half way in and this is one of my all time favorite videos
So proud of this dude. Heck yeah Jeremy.
12:50 LOL I do the same thing glo! Once it comes to bigger heights knowing it’s dangerous but get you’re self hyped to let the Aztec warrior side take over 🇲🇽
It has been super real watching him face his fears.
Very inspiring thanks for the upload brothas!!!!
every day i wait for 6pm uk time for braille to upload, honestly without you guys i would probably have stopped skating ages ago
I have found my favorite Braille employee! Keep rocking, dude!
I messed up my ankle bad on a huge board slide and had thoughts of seriously slowing down my skating but this really changed me mind and I thank you guys
felt the energy when he did it! amazing! well done Jeremy!
Inspiring J! I’m 45 and I just started my bowl skating life! 👍
Congrats Jeremy! This was awesome!!
My first board, at 31, is on the way! So hyped for this dude!
Conquer the fear! Supremely awesome, Jeremy!!!
I love to see "older" men riding a skateboard Like they are in the 90ies
Keep it up man! Love too see that🥰
