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

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

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

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 ❤❤❤

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

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

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

CONGRATULATIONS!!! So proud of you Derek ❤

Beyond sad Gabe is gone 😓

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

That reaction was a true first kickflip moment. 🎉

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 🤙

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

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.

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.

Wow, Derek way to go! Was so stoked when you landed it, this is the moment we've all waited for! Keep it up🙌

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

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!!!

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

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

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

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 ❤

I’m glad you did a part 3

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

We are so proud of you Derek! We always believed in 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.

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

Congrats Derek!!! What a huge moment!!

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!”

I'm so happy for you derek!!! Congrats brother!!!

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

LETS GOOOOOO DEREK!!! I'M so happy and proud to see this this finally happen. These last 3 days of braille have been a rollercoaster for sure!

an actually epic journey in a lot of ways nothing but love for what you guys got

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!

GABE ❤

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

Well done Derek.

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.

Great video !

great video !!!!!

Great job, Derek! Two to make it true

Wew! That is inspiring!

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

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

LET'S GOOOO!!! DEREK🎉🎉🎉🎉

Congrats , nice 1🤙

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
