Love your channel , Nigel! Wish I could give the people on there (especially Andy!) props, but you turned your comments off. I'm just curious what made you make that decision? Keep up the rad vids man.
@@krissekross of course you wanna win if you compete, but most of the times youre not counting on the win, its called underdog for a reason, would love to see him on sls, even if he prolly wont win
finalPattern real facts, ppl hate cause it takes a lot of work to be that good. Easy to say things like it just happened but doesn’t seem to be the case with him or any good skaters I know
Just wanna say that the rate at which Carlos is able to understand concepts and learn tricks is on another level! I miss seeing that dude in the Braille vids.
there is no scientific explanation for the things Carlos can do, even when he supposed to fall he manages to stay on the board.. it's witchcraft for sure
you know that saying about a samurai's sword becoming simply an extension of his arm? His board is an extension to his whole damn body. Also PROPS TO CARLOS how the f*** did you learn that so fast?!
It's a lot like the low ground style where surfing and skateboarding kind of met. a sort of Powell Peralta style what's the walking and the balancing is a lot like championship skateboarding before big air.
I wish it was more the norm. I flew EMS and a lot of patients were flown for things that could have been prevented through wearing a helmet. Now they're not the same person.
Ever since I saw this a year ago, that quote from Carlos "just as much a student as a teacher", has pretty much taken over my life man. I look up to Carlos a lot for his diligence and determination, and it's easy to forget that he's still on a journey of learning to skateboard. But regardless of skateboarding, it's with everything. Everyone is always so focused on imparting the knowledge they've gained, my precious self included, and it's easy to forget that we're all still learning and growing. Like Andy said man, what a beautiful mindset. Life is all about learning and teaching for me, and it's a huge bummer when I come across as a know it all or like I'm trying to force my opinions on others, so even in being a student and teacher, there is room for learning how to do that more effectively. I love each and every person on this planet, including you who reads this, and I implore to make the quest for knowledge, and the sharing of that knowledge, your overall goal within your particular path through life.
#notificationsquad To be honest, the most amazing part of this video is Andy's positive vibe and mindset. Super relaxed, super chill, great instructor!
David Lefebvre Lung cancer kills in years a bad concussion kills in minutes. I hit my head in a bowl without a helmet and my brain started swelling. Shits no joke brother.
I´am very impressed how he explain the tricks so well, is really specific about where to press and every detail. So cool, I wish I had someone to explain to me the tricks like that
few months ago i got deep into skateboarding from parkour, love it so much, the creativity, just now i found out about Andy and this guy makes me wanna cry with joy... I immideatly fell in love with his board, hes got it worked out perfectly.... missed the chance to win it but i´ll gladly pay for it, just hope it´s somewhere available, so happy i found this dude....
#notificationsquad are you kidding me.. 11:44 took me back to when I first fell in love with skateboarding and being mesmerized by Rodney Mullen's talents. That entire run was amazing!
#NotificationSquad Honestly, my favorite trick was the first grind into impossible that Andy taught Carlos. Its one of those tricks that looks simple but extremely hard at the same time and I loved the way Andy was able to break it down in a way that really helped Carlos. Also that little meditation roll around the 16min mark was amazing
The guys board control and awareness is insane. Call me nuts but the way he mixes in these oldschool flatland/dance maneuvers is really crazy and cool.
This is what I miss about skating now that Im 30... Talking to people about tricks, talking them through tricks, and having them talk you through a trick and correct you on what youre doing wrong.. its like another level of communicating trying to describe something that happens in an instant but both of your minds are right there.. the same reason why people who dont skate dont have the same conscientiousness. Good shit guys. Keep it up!!
This video was sick but on the real it would be sick if u guys did street skating videos like street Saturday’s or street Sunday’s or something like that once a week!!
I love Andy's mix of 70s street skating, and 80s ramp skating, and tying it all together with his own brand of inventiveness, and creativity. I will be buying his products if for nothing more than to support his "Mind"set and positive impact on the world. I guess Skating has evolved since the days of the "my turf", skatepunks. I have been skating since 1974 and lived it all on the outskirts mostly, but always kept a board. I skated my son to kindergarten on the front of my longboard, but he never really had an interest until he went to college this year. He asked for a longboard and lessons so I have been out skating with him, which has lead me to Braille Videos. Anyway Everyone keep skating, and spend the time to teach someone something, and be ready to learn at the same time. I totally will be watching Andy's website for the next run of his boards. The 9 inch deck reminds me of my John Gibson Zorlac setup. Would love to replace that with a Andy Anderson setup.
Oh my God! The impossible happened last night and it's all thanks to you. Because you guys are the ones that got me to buy my first deck at age 36(!). I had always dreamt of doing it, but never did. It is now 10 or 11 months later and I am actually landing tricks. I'm 37 now! I couldn't even stand on the thing for 10 secs without feeling like I would break every bone in my body. And now... Ollie on lock, manuals on lock.. 180 almost on lock. No comply, Shove it's.. And now this beauty. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hW1OHG8J4z8.html (Dat 1st flip happiness) XD Whenever I see someone in the comments ask if it's too late to start I crack up... THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS TOO LATE! Just live your dreams. No one will do it for you. I hope I can be an inspiration to anyone who reads this. And Braiile (and Lance, wherever you are)... Thank you for sending me on this journey. Keep infecting the world with the skate virus. Forever grateful
Michael Venetiaan Awesome man! I am almost 27 and just got back into skating after almost a 10 year break and it feels good! Im having to relearn a lot of my old tricks, but it is still super fun (and a great exercise)!
@@dreamfarmer9558 Totally! I enjoy it everytime! My legs and stamina are stronger and better than ever. I'm trying to get as many people as I can to get skating. I've been pretty succesful actually ^_^ Cool to hear you got back into skating. What got you back into it? Was it these Braille guys? ;-)
Been watching Braille for a few years now and get momentary thoughts in my head to go grab a deck and start practicing ollies. At 30 I thought I was too old to start, and after watching your vid I'm getting ever so tempted to get a board and give it a crack. Sick kickflip too, nothing beats that feeling of getting a trick nailed for the first time.
Dude I dont know this Guy, I just now started to catching up on Brail Videos again, but you can tell the Passion this dude has for Skating! He is not only sick on a Board with his tricks, but the way he explain his Tricks and knowledge behind it, even for me made all of what he said sense, and even thou I'm a Sub, I never skated befor nor have i ever been on a Skateboard, the closest it did and sometimes still do is Snowboarding. I am close to 30 with very little time to start Skating, but I am thinking on getting a E-Longboard, seems a fun alternative to get to Work.
It's not by accident. Andy has been teaching skateboarding to local kids in the Vancouver BC area for quite a long time. To be specific Whiterock BC. Amazing teacher ,skater and human being.
#Notificationsquad Frontside wall ride "off the lip"! 11:16 Andy is really amazing! Carlos.. wow... He learns so fast! Great Video guys! Thanks for all you do!
Favorite trick? Um all of them! Andy is like the next gen Mullen. His air to stall in the mini ramp and his rail to rail impossible off were super steezy though #NotificationSquad
I know Carlos not at Braille anymore, but I just saw this video and gotta give him props in learning that shtuff so quick... TF dude... Andy,thanks for visiting...Beastly lines bro👏👏👏👊👊👊
I absolutely love the hippy jump on the 5, I was thinking of saving this summer for one of his decks but if I can win one that would be amazing. #notificationsquad
I'm 45 and still love skateboarding. I was happy to see a board with rails on it. Kids always ask me "what are those?". Andy! Your amazing dude. I would love the skateboard but i think you should definitely give it to a kid with strong knees. It's just great to watch skating progress over the years. And finally going to be an OLYMPIC SPORT! SK8 OR DIE,!!!
