NIGEL JONES BUYS A NEW SKATEBOARD! 

JDs a real one for bringing the mid setup snack though

Glad to see people still sharing this info about skating. I learned a long time ago about the whole physics/math behind it (Thanks Rodney for that). Used to get made fun of because of how i would nerd out about the minute details of everything, and how i was so OCD about wheel base length, Nose and tail length, concave shape. Wheel shape, size, and design. All the way down to specific Dura ratings for my bushings and pivot cups. Having everything properly lined up for your specific skating/style your body size is a game changer. Then sticking to those specifics will really show in your skating. I've been skating the same nose/tail/wheelbase/ width for the last 20 + years. Consistency in the stuff you use is huge. I don't settle for close enough.

Love how you said contraband and JD immediately turned around and went the other way 😂

Love these more raw behind the scenes videos

Nigel's sad "I got a new board too" during the intro of Glo's video from the other day is even better now, I assume the timeline is that they filmed this one and started the other video either right after or in the final minutes here where Gabe talks about going to film Glo. Dude just went on a whole adventure and the other intro was about to leave him out of the new board reveals. Love this non-linear storytelling approach to uploads, there's so much depth to the Braille Cinematic Universe.

Hahhaa when homie at the shop said Diamond risers I knew they wouldn't fit your trucks! I am not 100% sure what trucks the Diamonds match up with but not Ventures as I had experienced myself. My first board I had I put Grind Kings on with Pig risers and those were a great match.

13:16 finally, i always wanted to see glo setup a bord with his grip over bolt style

Gonna make my way out to Orbit this weekend. Best deck wall in the Bay.

That was a cool video. Love seeing the process

Loved this more personal video super cool to fallow them around

JD with the goldfish! He hooked you up!

Orbit skate shop seems like an amazing place

I have been through the board madness. I finally settled down and am forcing myself to stick with on set for learning tricks. It is a fun adventure but it gets spendy.

awesome video love it!!!

I've got the thunder lunar hollow lights but I change the lower bushing to a standard medium independent bushing.

The moment you bought them I knew.....so glad it delivered. I ride Thunders with eigth inch risers as well. I've had diamond tried to be sold to me so many times. They're not cut for Thunders and noone seems to be aware lol. Its terribly annoying but I do the same. I just drill them out. Other than that, they're my favorite compound for the purpose.

I fuccs wit you dawg I been skating since 99 and unfortunately drugs n alcohol stole my life from what I loved most n i keep a deck on me but last 4 5 years fucced up and I don’t know how in lost all my tricks but Nigel got me skating again honestly y’all whole team has but he just got style and a lot of people don’t have that real talk homie. S/O NIGEL 💯💯💯💯💯

Great video

Thunders have a different geometry on their baseplates. You need Thunder risers for Thunder trucks.

52mm wheels are fine without risers on 147 thunders hollow lights and on venture lows for me (even on v-hollow lows)

Right On!!! When braille house smokes bud and records the aftermath.

What happened to Shorty's risers? They don't make em anymore?

I got a complete built at MOA about 19 years ago. It was fun. Since then I bought at least 4 setups. All completes, each a different style. Some of them I haven't used. Don't judge me.

In thing is getting the weight ballence right and the pop angle. 52s on 48mm trucks is ok for ground flip tricks with tablets but it's actually to light .. all around skating your want full conicals and 1/8 real risers thunder hollow lights

Nice board setup! Have 8.5 deck, Krux 8.5 K5 polished trucks with 1/8 raisers.

got those trucks and the bushings just melted away. I need new bushings like 2 months ago

Thunders are very popular with those guys ❤

im from the bay area. how can i skate on the braille miniramp? is it open for public?

Black on black on BLACK babyyyyy

I will eventually run into you guys 🤣... Need me some new wheels and bearings😅also always forget to get the stickers😅"ohHhh dam them board so pretty you should have got the translucent tape🙃

Can you please tell us what happened to McNugget?? I’m very disappointed he’s not around anymore. And Ricky throwing mad shade at him like something happened??? Spill the Tea!! Lol

NIgel love!!!

Serving thru that slot 😂

Y’all need to get Candy up in here to spec custom setups for everyone and then pay a visit to your board doctor guy (sorry I can’t remember his name but the guy who did the custom shapes for Ricky, McNugg & Mowgly) to get the right shape & size deck

Nigel!!!!

I’ll never understand how glow can skate with the grip covering his hardware. That would mess me up

I always go a 1/4" bigger with my trucks than the board size. You might wanna try 148's. If the risers are sticking out of the baseplate just cut them off with a razor knife after you mount the trucks.

Man ricta me used to be a solid wheel when I was skating in 2007

Yea the thunder hollow lights sitting at 48mm then you add like 3mm for the rizer you still like 51mm high and use 52 mm wheels your still under weight and height than independent holow stage 11s😊

11:14 homie had a flashback 💀

Tablets are ok but they leave the axle and nut to exposed but give you more truck.... Spitfire full conicals or conical or radial. Is all I'll skate.

Best trucks ever i been skating them trucks for a year now and i will never ride a different pair ever again they felt like they was already borken in first time i steped on the board

I use real 1/8vvwood risers under my hollow lights.

"That was taller than a guy, that we once knew" 😆😆😆😆

Passing up the Ricta for the bones is wild 😂

We skate the same setup

What is that snake farm shirt he's wearing? I NEED IT!

Never seen loose wheels in a shop

Let me see that paperwork

Black on black on black on black

Nice video different from the usual

We getting that explanation video ? 😅 😂

So their names are glo and candy… i need to see the rest of the family

Ok that looks like glos twin

yall needa see if the cashier would be down to street skate with yall

Only my mother calls them riser PADS. And only my mother asks me if I need them….

i wanna see NIgel and Braille skate with @donutoperator.

Real 3mm 3 ply wood risers.

Hi

just got a signed girl deck

What happened to share the shred, his board company? He's riding for somewhere else

14:56

"that was taller than a guy that we once knew" WHICH ONE.

Yeah you shouldnt keep those decks on your trunk. Morphs really quickly in that heat

Taller than a guy we once knew ? Man what happened to chris

In my head, i was thinking "aurora varialis" before Gabe even started his varialis flipilius bit.

Taller than a guy that we once know, Yikes... I miss Chris.

Draw near to Jesus and he will draw near to you

new boards are for posers

Almost 3 minutes of skating, not gonna lie, I'm kinda disappointed.

nigel is the most annoying member of braille.

Tighten trucks abit more. Might make it more responsive and easy to land. Avagud1
