5:14 This is exactly why I feel like you guys should try putting in 'captions' with your SKATE games of what each trick is, like maybe just above the SKATE tracker. As you say, new skaters are not going to see the difference between stances, but also aren't going to know what each trick is. It would be great for learning if we actually could know what you're doing, and tbh with big games it would be easier to track whose turn it is, because sometimes if nobody's missing anything I find the tricks start to blend together... (you should also have closed captioning but that's another point)
Trick captions and normalization of the volume of the videos with compression and limiting would make this channel 5 times more watchable and better. I do love this channel though!
IM LEARNING SO MUCH!! Im 36 just bought my 1st Skateboard with my 3yr old son. I now know im a regular skater. Thanks for all the advice I cant wait to show my son everything I Learned. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK GUYS!!!
I’ve watched your videos ever since I hopped on a skateboard and truly, I’m sure you won’t believe how much you’ve taught me by just watching your videos each day before I practice.
How I learned it is which diagonal direction you look at compared to your riding direction. So for goofy: - Looking left forward = regular - Looking right forward = switch - Looking left back = nollie - Looking right back = fakie You could also use wind directions with your riding direction being north if that's easier. A top down picture also would help a lot
I got my first skateboard today, with my birthday money. I got from South Street Skateshop in downtown Rochester in Michigan. I rode to the park with my family. I am getting pretty used to it and I absolutely love it. I have been watching Braille Skateboarding for a long time and I Just want to thank you guys so much for inspiring me to do this. I don't know how to thank you. I am a big fan of your guys' work. Thank you so much. I have been practicing doing an ollie and I almost got it!
After a 8 year break I'm getting back into skating thanks to your videos, in a few days I'll have my board set up and I'm starting from humble beginnings again using your videos, wish me luck!
Aaron. If you read this I just want you to know that I rode the dragon deck for like a year and it’s now screwed to my wall in two pieces after a parking block got the best of it
I think something that’s helped me figure this stuff out as someone with zero skating experience is not looking at which part of the board is forward but which foot is popping
Hey! I’m getting a skateboard soon and I used to ride but stopped and went to scootering and I realised I wanted to go into a more mature level so I decided to go to skateboarding, any tips?
In snowboarding switch riding is riding your board backwards, I dig your videos cause I'm learning to Sk8 for the first time in my life I'm 56 you're never too old to try new things
Man oh man is this ever confusing, I may just be crazy but I had to watch it 3 times to understand this. Great job explaining it though very helpful ! Landed first ollie's today, with the help of you're guys tutorials.
I'm reteaching myself (goofy) how to skate after almost 15 years. I couldn't even push/ride switch back then, I could basically only ollie and occasionally shove it. By watching Braille videos, I'm already better than I was in '01-'05. I wish you guys were around then, I wouldn't have gotten stuck so much. Seriously I can already ollie, front 180, back 180, front shove, back shove, and switch ollie and front shove and I only started about a month ago and I'm in my thirties. Kickflips still elude me but I'm gonna get em!
Frontside for a regular stanced skater is any trick that rotated counter clockwise. It’s called frontside because a frontside 180 is turning your body towards the way you’re moving. Backside tricks to a regular stanced skater turn clockwise. During a backside 180 skaters turn their back to the direction they’re moving hence the name backside. For fakie tricks the names stay the same for the direction of the rotation even though during a fakie frontside 180 you actually turn your back to the direction you’re rolling. Switch frontside and backside is named just like regular, so if you’re turning towards the direction you’re rolling it’s switch frontside and vice versa. Nollie is the confusing stance for trick names. The frontside and backside names are reversed, so a nollie backside 180 resembles a fakie frontside 180. During nollie tricks if your back is turned towards the way you’re rolling it’s backside and if you turn forwards it’s frontside. TLDR: is if the trick pushes forward with your popping foot it’s frontside. If you’re pulling with your toes it’s backside. But it’s reversed for nollie. Tricks on obstacles are named frontside and backside too, but it’s different and much easier. If you’re popping onto a ledge or rail and it’s in front of you, that’s a frontside slide or grind. If you pop onto a ledge or rail that’s behind you that’s a backside slide or grind. So when skaters do a frontside boardslide, they slide with their back turned to where they’re moving but it’s called frontside because the ledge or rail was in front of them.
Push Stances: Regular Goofy Mongo . . , Basic trick stances: Normal Nollie Switch Fakie . . , Ways of doing the tricks: Frontside Backside Inward Front foot Backfoot Body varial Nose Tail . . Other stances: Cross foot also called pretzel (typically used when landing a trick) Primo or rail stance (used in freestyle skating to stand on board when it's on it's side)
The whole switch nollie versus fakie ollie is actually an interesting debate thing. As I think 'switch' implies the correct mirrored stance in terms of upper body and head, whereas 'fakie' should imply you are riding backwards, but in preferred stance. There is enough of a difference there to distinguish the two. Even when some will argue a fakie ollie (if not intended as such) is just a poorly executed switch nollie. I'm literally talking about how a front foot 'in switch' might behave like a back foot, but with the entire body language revealing it is a switch trick. In short, a trick is fakie when the shoulders reveal you're riding backwards, but switch when they don't in a non-preferred stance. I don't know too many 'switch riders' who can really camouflage their preferred stance very well. So I think the distinction makes sense. Oh and I kind of wished you would have used 'preferred stance = goofy' instead of 'my regular stance = goofy', as 'regular' is a stance itself lol. But I got it already anyway. I'm 100% ambidextrous with my hands, however riding switch with my legs still took a bit of practice actually. Not because it feels natural or unnatural, but rather because you have to consciously shift your weight to whichever foot you choose to be the front foot, non-pushing one for the sake of balance. I can kick a soccer ball with both feet just fine. Then again, most people probably could. Same weight shifting applies.
do a video an all of the different grinds/slides eg: tailslide,crooked grind,feeble, nose grind. and also go through fs and bs for grinds or slides. I think its the hardest to recognise what grind trick someone does.

regular, switch, nollie, fakie. the four nations lived in harmony until the nollie nation attacked, only a pro skater can master the 4 stances, me and my cousin found the best pro skater on youtube, arron kyro, he has alot to learn before he can save any skater, but i believe he can save the culture
Dude I think you explained the different stances a lot better then most people could of Nollie is so fun though but I see Aaron pulling out that heelflip gotta see more of those love heelflips
I don’t think this is a super difficult concept to explain. I think it’s more so that beginners have more trouble understanding all of this new information when they’re still trying to figure out which stance suits them better. When I started skating, I remember how overwhelming it was knowing that there was so much information about the different trick. My main confusion came from not knowing what fakie meant. But like anything, learning this comes with time. Any of you beginners out there that are experiencing this confusion, it will all make sense with time. Just keep practicing and learning!
Ok so i just started skating yesterday, and i was telling a mate about how i push, because thats what i’m learning, and it blew his mind about how weird it is, but to me, its the only way that i feel comfortable pushing. So i have my right foot at the tail and have my left foot pushing, then then i turn my body to the right and put my left foot in front 🤷♂️ And its also confused me because you said if you were to slide on ice, which foot would you go first with, and it would be my right. So yeah, i’m a little confused because it could hinder me in the future with doing tricks i imagine 🤷♂️
Love it, tagged you in IG video with a similar question not long ago. Awesome to consistently get answers I’ve asked for the past 4 years watching❤️ hope you guys are open to public early August! 🤙🏼
You guys are great an inspiration to a whole new generation of skaters. We thank you all Braille Team!!!

I love how 3 yrs later he still has the same energy
Aaron : "it's not called a switch nollie"
Rodney : *Hold my skateboard*
thanks, i was struggling to understand the stances!!
Hey! Just got my frontside 180 today. I finally started getting my commitment issues to sort of disappear. I was stoked!
I'm still learning frontside 180 and this is gonna help my landing probably
How
Ehh not really might help u ride better
Ehm ok 😂
Just focus on turning your upper body and you will get it
It’s all in the shoulders bro! You got this dude!
I really needed that

Yes
This is why I watch braille.
I’m so glad you made this video
Very informative video! Thanks AK!
I just wanted to say that from along time ago that penny board video for how to ride a penny board was very helpful I just wanted to say thank you
Was really nice to see the whole crew skating together!
Thanks for this video I just bought a skateboard last week
Can’t wait to go to the skatepark with new knowledge!
Griptape is dope..please do tell where...please..
Love the vids thanks for explaining
Just sayin, thanks to y'all and a friend out there, I plan on buying my first board today and learning to skate
This was fun
Love you guys!!! Who has started TH-cam because of these guys??
Freaking skate 4 is in the works! Let's gooooooooo
This helps me out a lot. Thanks!
After a 8 year break I'm getting back into skating thanks to your videos, in a few days I'll have my board set up and I'm starting from humble beginnings again using your videos, wish me luck!
It’s my birthday!!! And you guys always make my day!!!
Happy birthday🥳 🥳🎂
I don’t know how many times I’m going to watch this videooo
HEY BRAILLE YALL SHOULD MAKE VIDEO OF YALL DOING CHALLENGES SKATING SWITCH?
Like for goofy stance
"Regular" trick should be called "Dominant" instead, to differentiate from regular stance
I think normie works
Excellent job explaining the stances, Aaron.
I bought a board on my bday but it’s taking a while to ship. I got the blank orange board. 7.75. Wide
I think it's because of the pandemic. A lot of places seem to be out of stock on things.
Nice Dude!
I ride a 7.75 as well
Goofy footed gang, where u at?!
Keep it up! You are all really inspiring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do a tutorial on the Impossible please !!
I really liked this video. Could you please make a video going over skateboard terms like smith grinder,feeble grind and blunt slide.
Can you explain grinds and how they differ between stances??
The Question is, how do you ride down a water slide
On a surf board?
Coffin
No, the question is how do you ride on an ICE slide. Water slides are just irrelevant to the whole situation.
Can you do a nollie kickflip tutorial
Aaron. If you read this I just want you to know that I rode the dragon deck for like a year and it’s now screwed to my wall in two pieces after a parking block got the best of it
Hey Aaron would u guys do a video on how to ollie into manual? Nose and tail?
Please do a video of you guys just doing a sesh of the park like you did back at Braille house 1.0
I'm glad Aaron is skating more in videos
I think something that’s helped me figure this stuff out as someone with zero skating experience is not looking at which part of the board is forward but which foot is popping
Please do another tutorial on easy tricks pre ollie. I know you already did this but the 15 easy tricks, some are difficult. (i.e ollie)
very hard skateboarding

i bought skateboarding made simple 1-3 and within an hour I landed my ollie its only a couple inches of the ground but i hope it will get higher
Anyone else wondering who did Aaron's Dragon Ball X FFVII gripart? That deco looks clean!

It's confusing at first but then I got it when y'all show it.... I learned something new..
Could you maybe explain frontside/backside lipslide, 50-50, etc or which direction is nollie backside vs regular backside😅
This helped quite a lot, now I understand stances a lot more. Thank you 😅
You guys should review a cal 7 complete board
Thank you for this! Can you next explain Backside and Frontside? Never understood that

I like Mullen's understanding, there is no switch, but I don't think people understand what he meant by that.
@@Cheezus Kind of like Bruce Lee. The art of fighting without fighting.
Ollie is the easiest. Then, switch fakie ollie. You just turn your head in the other direction.

I’m getting my first board in a few days an I’m so excited!!! I always watch your video for advice! I just wanted to say thank you 🥺💞
Yeeet! Go skate!!!!
Uma Padme I still didn’t get it because amazon is slow 😂 but I will the minute I get it :)
@@raq_777 sorry to be that guy but its spelt board, just a heads up
The guy above me is the first comment
Nope
Nope ur the highest comment
Lmao
Lol
Can you remake the video on how to power slide?
Great video do more
The part between 9:00- 10:37 really cleared it up for me
You guys should skate a mechanic roller bed
So many variations!
I usually just levitate above the board and use telekinesis to do the tricks. Is that not right?
No matter how many years I’ve been boarding when they make these videos I’ll always watch them✊🏿
Same I know all the stances but his videos are just entertainment
Could you please go over front side and back side for regular switch fakie and nollie

I can do a lot of switch nollie tricks, not that many switch fakie tricks though...
U should have a game of skate riding on hand boards
Where can I get that griptape?
Dude I think you explained the different stances a lot better then most people could of Nollie is so fun though but I see Aaron pulling out that heelflip gotta see more of those love heelflips
I’m 21 I’ve just started skating foot positioning and stance is so important

Do frontside 360 2020
nice video!
Great channel
15 years ago I skated. Time to get a new board and try again? I'm probably to old and stiff with my 30 years 😆
I finally learned the switch nollie!
Switch push or how to both push plsss
This was very informative and interesting. You explain it pretty well. Day 12 of asking Aaron to make a channel for his dogs and teach them to skate.
Wow wish I had a chart to visualize it

This is the content I enjoy!
I am a huge fan
3 minutes ago! I’m learning to ollie, so close!
Nice, keep going!
C'mon bro practice makes perfect 🙏
U can do this
You got it bro keep going, that feeling when you land your first, you’ll always remember it
Proud of you!
