Landing his FIRST Kickflip after 26 years!? 

Derek's finally lands a kickflip makes Gabe's last day even more special. ❤

Im 46, been skating for 2 years, and just landed my first kick flip last weekend, so congrats on your first one.

Derek needs his owns feature on the braille channel called"Derek learns" where its just persistence for the very basic tricks. I'd watch all day long l. Love seeing people progress

Gabe in the Video 👌🏽👍🏽❤️

Hearing the Ghost of Gabe Cruz

Derek. You are my example to follow, I am 37 and don't have shove it, don't have my kick flip, and all your videos inspire me for real. Keep doing it

Oh hell yeah Derek!!!!! Let’s gooooooo!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥

I'm really really glad to see a return to these kind of videos.

YES!!! Huge congrats Derek! I hope this is a new beginning for this kind of content from Braille. This is the stuff that gets me fired up to skate and push myself to new heights. Derek is the man! 👊👍

Man, watching this kind of videos brought me back to braille old days! got chills And gotta admit, I love these kind of videos, they push me to come back to skating again!!

Props, this was amazing to experience. As a man that got back in to skateboarding at 31 age after more then 13 years of, i need video´s like this to keep me into loving the sport. Love that braille keeps existing. We gonna mis the ones that left but keeping the famillie alive ❤❤❤

nooooooooooo not Gabes last day we wil mis him so much 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 just stay 100 years more my friend

Beyond sad Gabe is gone 😓

My daily routine is get home from work and watch the days braille video while cooking dinner. My Days are going to be a little different now. Hope they bounce back stronger with new faces.

Congrats on your Kickflip G!!!! I just love this community!❤

I'm going through a tough time right now but seeing Derek finally land that kickflip put the biggest smile on my face

Gabe's commentary and energy really made the videos enjoyable these past years. Really sad to see him go, but I'm hopeful you guys can work towards a new fresh format that keeps things interesting going forward.

Once I saw Derek land that kick flip, I posed outside and gave it some solid attempts. He's a great inspiration for someone getting back into skating!!!

Big smile! I landed my first rolling kick flip a month ago. So exciting to see people progress in skating. ❤

Really happy for u Derek, hope u learn more bc u give motivation for other people to continue learning new tricks.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! So proud of you Derek ❤

Lets goo!! Im so happy he landed it and so well too ! Keep it up man I hope to see more of you !

That reaction was a true first kickflip moment. 🎉

Soooooo awesome!!!!! Congrats Derek!!!!! Killing it!

Right On!!! Heck yea!!! That was awesome. You did amazing. And what a great gift for Gabe for his going away gift. Congratulations!!!!🎉 “Do A Kick Flip!”

Congrats Derek!! I still remember when you first showed up on the channel, and I know this has been a long time coming. One of the kickflips of all time for sure, and the reaction from everyone afterwards was awesome! Happy for you g 🤙

These are the best videos guys. Keep finding new skaters and filming their journey

This brought such a big smile to my face 😊👍 it's luje Lance all over again 👏 so happy for you Derek, I knew you had it. This is what I love about braille ❤

GABE ❤

Hiiii I just starting to learn tricks and the Ollie video really helped!!! Thank you!

I used to skate nearly every day when I was in middle school, well into high school. I'm 35 now and wanted to get back into skating. Seeing videos like these help me feel a little less self conscious and get me more psyched to get back out there.

Really loved this one Arron!!! Ugh I wish I could skate your park👌

Congrats D that was a solid kickflip. Real proud of you brother.

Congrats Derek!!! What a huge moment!!

Woo! This got me more stoked than i expected. So awesome

This is the content I wanna see learning how to skate. Keep it up guys

This literally had me smiling so big when you landed! Congratulations bro! ✌️

Way to go Derek!!! Perserverance Bro. Well done.

That was for Gabe. All the previous videos lead up to this moment, well done

Congrats dude, been waiting for this!

Congratulations Derek on landing his first kick flip that was sick bro🤙love y'all braille

I’m glad you did a part 3

This video was awesome guys. This really brought me back to when I found this channel. Back when it was just Aaron and Gabe in a parking lot learning how to do tricks. Very wholesome and inspiring content just like the old Braille. Congrats on the first kickflip Debo!❤️ you are the master of your reality. Seize the day!

Yasssss Derek!!! I won’t give up just like u didn’t!

Congratulations man!!! I'm close to landing a heelflip! After I get that I'ma try a kick flip!

That was a great job!! 🎉

Well done Derek!

Great video !

I can't wait to see what you have in store for this new era! I think it makes total sense to go with fewer videos a week, and instead focus on quality over quantity.

Wew! That is inspiring!

Glorious!

Great job, Derek! Two to make it true

That was really awesome foshooo❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥🤙🤘

congrats derek, all the hard work paid off

great video !!!!!

We WANTED to see Gabe drop in..... .... We will forever be waiting

Let’s get it Derek!!!!! You’ve finally got it after immense focus and determination. Ps.Gabe was just an exponential part of this entire journey and will be missed greatly and forever, how will these videos come out let’s all find out together. BUT HECK YEAH DERICK YOUVE GOT IT. let’s see what you can really do now, that you have the kick flip down 😊❤ LETS GOOOOOOOOO DERICK!!!!!!! Your on boss levels now

Landing your first trick is like a high like no other.

Congrats!

Congrats , nice 1🤙

Man i needed that video. Giving me my confidence back showing it is possible. I skated my entire teenage years and could only ollie and manual a decent distance. Never landed a kickflip but would always get close like all the attempts in this video. Going to give it another try this weekend and hopefully land my first one in my 30s

Stoked for Derek! Don’t forget two to make it true!

2 to make it true! 😂 awesome job Derek, great perseverance 🤙🏼

Wooooooo congrats ❤

Learned you have .. Unlearn you must 🔥

LETS GOOOOOOOO DEREK Wish you all the best Gabe, thank you an AK for making me want to skate at almost 30 yo

DEREK! Dude. Awesome. Let's gooooo. Yeeeeeeeesssssssssss.

Gotta love it!

Congratulations Derek😮

Well done Derek.

Way to go Big D! Glad it happened before Gabe left, awesome guys! I'll let you know when I land my first, just started last summer, hoping to get it this year!! If Derek can maybe I can too haha

Congrats, dude!

LET'S GOOOO!!! DEREK🎉🎉🎉🎉

LETS GO DEREK!!! I always believed. History has been made today. This is an inspiration to all beginners out there. If you believe in your dreams you can make them a reality. SOMEONE GET THIS MAN A 15 INCHER
