WHAT IS A SMOLLIE?! 

I’ve tried it (my kid has one). I think it’s ideal for getting the feel/balance of a trick/grind/slide. And it’s really not tight enough to teach bad habits. If it helps a higher % of new skaters get their ollie down, it’s a win for that alone.

That's how we used to wrap bike inner tubes around our boards in the 80's. Fun with a rope swing over the vert ramp. 😁

If we practiced long enough we would’ve been popping 1080s😅

Gabe, 19:56 JD is having such a fun time in the ramp. You deserve that same feeling. Take baby steps. You can get there.

Aaron: "I feel like JD's just gonna do like a 1080 on this-" JD seconds later: *Actually does a 1080*

this is legendary and I loved to see him dropping in again reminds me of when they first bought the place lol keep shreddin!

I feel like you can also use this strap to carry your board around on your back! that's cool!👍

Sometimes I feel like flip tricks or just tricks where you leave the board are easier then tricks where you stay connected to the board. I personally sorta skipped some fundamentals like backside and frontside 180 and actually considering using this to go back and get that practice I always needed thanks for the video braille ❤

When I was a teenager I did something almost exactly like this. Only I used my old belt. I used to skateboard from school to the public library and there were lots of curbs and cracks and stuff along the way that got tiring to ollie over, but with the belt on my board like they have this smollie thing I just did a little hop and it took a lot less energy. And if I hit a rock or something I didn't have to worry about not being able to step off the board. Sure wish I had thought to improve the design and patent it. That was back in the late 90s.

Totally getting one of these,

Part of me thinks this would be scary but then the other part thinks it would be comforting? JD doing everything with it doesn't help change my feeling cuz he can do anything(he just makes it work)bit this is cool to see something that works and also changes the way you skate and things that are possible 😎👌 enjoy learning about things I never knew about. love braille ❤

Aaron dropping in the vertical ramp with straps was savage!! 😮 😅 😊

You should do the highest ollie with the smollie

derrick needs this

Awesome training tool!

Jd having soo much fun

Dang wish I had something like this growing up. When you see it it’s simple, but that’s how most things that work great seem. Feels like a product that there’s a bit of a learning curve but works best if for the most part you treat it like it’s a normal board. Like when I got a freebord, I had to lock in my mind it was just a snowboard on snow and then I could ride it fine. But when I thought of it as I was on asphalt I struggled to ride it.

This is a great product I was watching this next to my GF who’s never skated and she just looks over my shoulder and goes… “hmm I’d definitely try it with one of those”

Jd is is big now haha it’s been a couple years since I watched braille

19:19 JD looks a little unhinged here lol

When I get home. I’m ordering one!!

vert dog! that drop in scared me. ak went right from foot on deck straight to the board ,barely missing the band.

Aarons life flashed before my eyes

That’s a snowboarder tan if I have ever seen one lmao

2:50 Glo glaring at the guy right over his shoulder 😂

my biggest problem is that when i got into skating years ago, i started learning various beginner skills and ended up turning my ankle when my board flipped (it was a weird weight distribution that made me nose stall and turned my ankle) and proceeded to break it. i have fear of rebreaking it by learning even an ollie. any tips?

You guys should be on MTV or something, I'd definitely be watching

Gabe encouraging Aaron to drop in is the most ironic thing to happen in 2024

i love this idea for this product

gonna order me one tomorrow

Bro... these can make impossibles possible 😮

You Reinvented the wheel.....that's all folks!

🙏thanks for the shout out and shoes

Dope can help me to improve my snowboarding

floor is lava with the smollie

You can see the sarcasm in JDs eyes when dude from Hawaii went on the vert ramp.😂 19:16 Honestly you can see the sarcastic excitement in most if your faces. 🤦🏻‍♂️

So honest question, couldn’t this give someone a false sense of security on a board and create bad habits? Update I spoke to soon I should have kept watching. My questions were answered. Interesting product

DEREK!!!! Do An Ollie!!

Lets gooo Aaron! Vert Dawg!

Can I get the weights of all the Braille crew? I’m considering making a skateboard to send to them made out of a mystery material I work with but I want to know how thick it needs to be so it won’t break or if it will even work.

This smollie looks cool. But What is really amazing and unbelievable that skaters developed all the craziest tricks with and kind of ropes and bands

I'm the same age as you Aaron. I find it hard to believe you never did this with a bike inner tube as a kid.

1 hour gang ⬇️

Porter's goggle tan is legendary 🔥🔥🔥

Go to Alberta Leduc skatepark it’s a big skatepark

I like it

Awesome

Well be playing jd pro skater xl on the ps 15 in 2040

You should have glo drop down on the vert

When I was a kid in school, I “invented this” for some dumb invention convention. Like third grade. 1995. I still have the VHS tape. I’m gonna have to upload it. Lol. 😂 literally identical It was just for fun but yeah

This is crazy video idea Braille

I feel so bad for that little dude with the spray tan!!

aaron kyro, sponsored skateboarder from the san fransisco bay area, yoshi bodied

I thought about trying to market something like this about 25 years ago when I was doing a fair bit of inner tube assisted skating. Except I used to put the tube around the middle of the board and hold onto it. Then ya just pull it tight and jump and the board comes up with ya. Then ya could bail without ya feet getting all tangled up in it and break ya friggin ankle. I called it bungee boarding. But I've just spilled my secret and mighta missed my chance to make millions off it. 🤷‍♂😂

You guys should buy Zroller trucks and test them out PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

👌👌I like it ❤❤❤

It's not April the 1st yet!

Can we get a kick flip!?

🔥

Take my money

How do you push

feel free braille team

Jd kills the fakie krookz

2:15 he definitely knows the process😶‍🌫️

How come you can totally tell JD is feeling, hey bro, I'm the only Hawaiian to have a spot here in the braille house!!! 😂😂

For a moment I thought it was a giboard with wheels but then I notice it is not

Any one else see johny tsunami when JD rips that

Small Mollys?

Ohh the Team Should call themselves Smollian Pirates

We used to steal shopping cart straps in the mid 90s

Has Lance ever came back in any of the recent Episodes?

You make it,we skate it. Where is that?

I would get beat up at the skatepark 100%

That was so cool 😎

What a sales pitch

Гениально!

HOLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY 23:34

Not convinced

😫Seeing JD on this channel makes me feel old....kid got big AF.... still surprised yall don't have drone pilots infesting your park with cine whoops...

Sup. From SL,UT 801 baby

…honest question but can’t a couple bungee straps from your trunk do the exact same thing?? 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️

Gedagadeegadago I’ve been murried a long time ago 😢

I kind of want to try one😁

So its acts like a normal board but you cant safely kick away anymore? Thinking this falls in the same category as skater trainers. An unnecessary step in learning to skateboard.

Skyhooks video

Gabe drop in ..

❤️‍🔥👍👍👍👍

7:48 Ahhh,... My 42yo bones ache. lol

Pushing looks awkward, very neat product idea.

I don't think I like it.I feel like this would not translate.Well, once you don't have it anymore.I think it might be cool at first but I don't think it's going to teach proper habits

FIRSSTTTTT TRYYYY

gabe drop in 2024

Take a tire of a bike wheel and its the same XD

No

CROCKS RUINED EVERYTHING
