To do this right, you need to put the bottom of shoes/rubber on the board, and then grip on the shoes and see how it goes.

[@deedoubs]

Yeah, my immediate thought on seeing this premise was "rubber vs sandpaper != sandpaper vs wood"

[@jamesortega2340]

So true, they can use spray on rubber, like Flex Seal, or the paste I guess.

[@electricfil]

Someone with a brain. 👌 These braille guys sk8 better than they think. I couldn't even make it through the ads to see the outcome.

[@JoseSanchez-jf1lr]

I think it would be better if they just removed the part of the griptape that is on the shoes soles.

[@alexanderpicken1899]

Frfr

[@saltyitguy966]

Y'all should do this again, but put a layer of rubber on the deck to simulate the shoe grip (its usually shoe rubber against grip-tape that creates the stick/resistance needed for adequate grippage). Just a thought :)

[@GuLuBa]

Hey Braille i wanted to thank you for teaching me how to skate when i couldn't, i am 18 now and i skate for 5 years now, i just watched the "I'm sorry" video and remebered how i started being interested in skating with my friends(they dont skate anymore) and we were sooo new to this thing and it was amazing. After years now i appreciate this moment in my life so much... YOU ARE THE REASON I STARTED SKATING❤️❤️❤️

[@brailleskateboarding]

That is awesome!

[@braillearmyplus1497]

We love hearing that, thank you for sharing! So glad you learned to skate and love it so much! Thanks for your support!

[@user-un3oz1sy2t]

I love your crazy skateboarding ideas that you do. Makes me laugh and forget about my worries. Especially if I'm going to teach myself how to skateboard over the summer.

[@LevelUpDaily434]

You can do it, I had a lot of hesitation starting out. I'm at 6 months roughly and have landed so many tricks I can't even believe it. Don't be afraid to fall, it's not so bad (:

[@Minerva_Alextrona]

This is one of the craziest video ideas from you guys I’ve seen so far 😭

[@isaiahpatrick11]

The subtle ''Anita Max Wynn'' a the start had me 🤣

[@ramonalaneband]

I'm a long time fan ( i remember when yall first got the braillehouse) and I think it would be cool to revisit old episode ideas but 'one up' the accomplishments of that vid. like if you only rolled down banks in the OG then you can kickflip in the new one etc.

[@josephhebner3244]

Hey Braille thanks for using my video idea this was hilarious! Worked better than i had even imagined.

[@Reddgie512]

JD wearing an Odd Future hoodie is making my day

[@ericpender2280]

Haven’t watched in a while, been binge watching last couple days. Forgot how much I love this channel! P.S to Gabe: please raise the volume of your screams 😂

[@tannerade]

Glad to see Rick back, judt saw his interview with Richie Jackson!

[@HawtDawg420]

I'm ashamed Gabe didn't tell them to "get a grip."

[@timothyquinn4919]

Gabe needs to drop in as punishment

[@KevxnExists]

Braille is the mythbusters of skateboarding 💪💪

[@soos015]

Can you guys do velcro grip tape again, would love to see JD with that :) !

[@vandercudo]

What about grip on grip? As in grip on shoes and the board.

[@willzone11792]

Hi Braille team... Maybe you could consider using towel grip and/or PU grip for your next video. Badminton grips by the way. Would love to see them in the next video.

[@stevekt]

Amazon sells sheets of suede with adhesive backing. Grip a board with this stuff.

[@yxngjaden6496]

I’ve been thinking about this for years

[@ninjapenguin3035]

Yeah I agree with everyone else that you need rubber on the board and grip as the shoes, I suggested this idea a while back and I said to put some sort of rubber like a shoe on the board

[@bladedreviews]

You need to do it again with one abrasive grip on the board, everything else the same

[@pablopescadortv2590]

i love braille so much

[@tharrison0122]

What about somehow gripping the board with suede or leather then putting grip on your shoes? Just a thought

[@starsforanais]

Gabe is hilarious

[@travissoto2620]

Lol this reminds me of nails on a chalkboard I tell you what I've never cringed so much watching a video lol loved it

[@braillearmyplus1497]

Haha

[@FireAtWill253]

JD saw my comment about the Doris shirt and said “I’ll do you one better” *rocks camp flog gnaw hoodie 😮‍💨👌🏼

[@noturdad5354]

Sand for grip sounds super valid, only concern is possibly being hit to hard by the board and catching a nasty rash or gash

[@35deedub]

You could cut up some Vans waffle BMX grips and stick them to the board......as others have said, may work better!

[@Zlei.]

This might work if you put a sheet of suede on the skate board. Or cut up a shoe and glue it to the deck.

[@starsforanais]

I love braille

[@gameandsnacks6279]

genius, yall still got the touch

[@braillearmyplus1497]

Appreciate it

[@NeedWantBuy]

You guys definitely did this before, but I Love watching the new crew test an old idea from the OG crew. New tricks, new drama and new entertainment 😂

[@MrScottyTay]

for this to be a better comparison or an opposite to what is normal, then you need to find rubber similar to what is on your shoes to go on the board

[@insanogeddon]

Best grip footwear for a board without grip??? All chose their own and see what happens .. boots, barefoot, favorite shoes, whatever Punters need to know whats the best option to get home if their grip is ruined or they score a free board w/o grip

[@IVIaster801]

Should flexseal the deck to get some texture for the shoes to grip.

[@brailleskateboarding]

Good idea

[@Fesititi]

You should do this again but with a layer of shoe goo on the board

[@rodneyparis6640]

@2:20 got me so dead in tears.

[@fleecurley8315]

OMG!! I was literally thi ki g about this idea in my head the other day and BOOM you read my mind🤘🔥🤣

[@braillearmyplus1497]

Haha heck yeah!

[@humansymphony]

The thing about grip tape is that it's glued to the board. The grit doesn't contact the wood. lol. Sandpaper doesn't grip wood.

[@nickamarit]

Test the Rocket Longboards "Gravity Plates" please, guys! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@browniegames865]

Probably should of put fabric on the deck or rubber. Surprised non of you guys thought this.

[@elusivemane9638]

maybe put like flex seal on the board or something

[@bensprink9943]

Dry using dual lock. It's a form of Velcro used in the aerospace industry. It's made by 3m

[@brainrotplague]

Getting wild!

[@4theCHIEF4]

Put waffle pattern rubber layer on deck, then make the soles of your shoes the grip tape

[@edvolley825]

Sanding the deck

[@imtriplydead]

The queen is WHERE’S AARON IS ?? I’ve not seen him for ages now, i miss him with his yelling stuff. It’s fun when Aaron is around, pleaseeee get Aaron on the video

[@sonnynewman9615]

Put suede on like grip first so it's like shoe on grip

[@nicholascrow8133]

Hoodie grip tape, glue some hoodie material to the deck... Or glass grip tape? Glue pieces of shattered safety glass to the deck

[@ninjapenguin3035]

Great video as always love you guys braille ❤ thanks again

[@braillearmyplus1497]

Thanks so much

[@PlumeriaObtusa]

Oh man i wish so hard i'm in winter rn. Here in Brazil we're having a record heat wave of 36 °C (96,8 °F) base temperature and termic sensation of 49 °C (120,2 °F). Even in the interior of the country, what means no beach. only shower, pool or hose 🥵🌄🔥🔥

[@Vikanuck]

It’s so hard for me to tell when people from California are cold lol 😄 You’ll have one guy wearing shorts and a hoodie, another in pants and a t-shirt, and another in a winter jacket with sweatpants that look like they belong on an arctic trek haha 😂

[@brailleskateboarding]

the micro climates in the Braille House be crazy

[@BlueBlazeGX]

What you should do, is find a way to get a layer of that rubbery substance similar to the bottom of your shoes onto the top of the skateboard, then try the grip tape shoes again. EDIT: Didn't realize I wasn't the first to say this, but still I'm pushing for it!

[@cerealforserious]

Rick's shoes in this video look like an option out of a tony hawk pro skater game lmao

[@Fenix_93]

@2:22. My exact face😂😂😂😂😂

[@keithurban4355]

ANITA MAX WYNN ! 😂 0:46

[@erictomko285]

How about reverse grip? Have the top of the board covered in suede and the bottom of shoes covered in griptape

[@erictomko285]

Or... Black flex seal for grip... spray it on n let it set and harden for 24hrs

[@jeffy420dahmer]

you guys should use different grits of sandpaper super glued/gorilla glued to your skateboard for griptape fosho🤘🤙

[@hoodrock44]

So the heal flip rebate when he had three tries. The first one was no toe touch just a little sketch but still did the trick and didn’t mess up anything. I feel like even though it’s sketch the trick was done correctly. The one after that he had toe touch and even the last one jd counted had a little drag

[@beaverr7230]

I bet Ricky didn't like skating that board

[@user-ru8yu4go9v]

Shouldnt the board have Rubber IF you going this concept?

[@JPS95gti]

Where is Aaron?

[@SoLetUsKnow]

We, as braille, have done this already

[@cade2189]

Gabe is starting to get swoll!!!

[@TheAnimeist]

Can we see a set of wheels and a quarter pipe grip taped?

[@DTC1138]

Idea so insane that it might work!

[@ProdAGee]

its definitely less grippy than shoes on a gripless board at least the rubber on shoes has a higher resistance on a slippery surface grip just slides. you need rubber on the board for this to work

[@28russ]

Yeah, they need some suede or leather on the board to make it a bit more of a realistic reversal.🤷‍♂ They're sandpapering the board like this haha.

[@unixd0rk]

Roof shingles for grip tape?

[@christopherhancock1723]

Could you even do this with no grip tape at all?

[@jasminewatson5723]

This is interesting idea Braille

[@RySin89]

You would need to do rubber on the board and grip on the shoes. that should work.

[@Marlosian]

Grip on a skateboard comes from contact between the grip on the board and the rubber of your shoes. If you want to do the opposite, you should have put rubber tape on the board.

[@brailleskateboarding]

So DKL rubber grip on the board and MOB on the shoes?

[@Marlosian]

@@brailleskateboarding yeah something like that. You could also get rubber per roll at home depot and just glue that on the board, cheaper and then you can experiment with different thickness'.

[@rippinhair]

I wonder what would happen if you completely coated a pair of shoes in shoe goo including the sole

[@rippinhair]

Shoe goo instead of griptape with the same idea as this video

[@donnytucker]

Cyber Shoe 🔥🔥🔥

[@yahwehisdead]

Before this video even starts, I'm gonna say this is a great idea!! I can't believe I've never see this or even thought about it before!!

[@yahwehisdead]

3:23 .....maybe that's why I've never seen it.

[@polatiger4765]

Play a thief-game-of-skate! Stealing tricks is encouraged. If you successfully steal a trick and give the opponent a letter, you also lose a letter.

[@verynaughty6563]

Need a wood floor sanding? Braille has you covered 😅

[@lyndenharbour3432]

Can you put handball resin on the skate board instead of griptape

[@matthewcharboneau733]

I wonder if Ricky Glaser is related to Nikki Glaser

[@Danny-xi2hb]

Where’s Aaron ?

[@Knowles860]

Need to put suede on the board

[@PajamaPantsStudios]

You gotta put flex seal on the board tho!

[@depax95]

To make this a fair test you would need to put rubber on the board.

[@highhguy]

Should put some type of suede material on the deck

[@ProdAGee]

Ive seen this comment already but...your shoes aren't made of slippery wood they are rubber/suede so you'd need one or the other on the board. Id like to see version 2 of this with rubber or suede on the board. I think it would actually work really well

[@raccoonman6291]

It would be cool if yall found a gel grip

[@DrVenkman514]

Ummm is it only the winter solstice in Ca. or is it world wide??? Asking for a friend.

[@hostyle.]

you need to put cloth or shoe material on the board and then the griptape on the board

[@jonasgeez2140]

Man JD really been growing up latley

[@braillearmyplus1497]

They grow up so fast ;)

[@arnassGAMING]

Jd is Marco Diaz and he needs to go look for his star butterfly

[@Rightround0846]

As a sneakerhead, in general this hurts. 😂

[@SirSpongBob]

Grip tape board and wood shoes

[@bigmac51290]

Put some of that rubber grip tape on the board to simulate the soles of shoes Edit: Nevermind 6:00 lol

[@fallenangelzgames]

Wooden clogs with griptape, on a rubber board! Reverse the roles completely

[@jamesortega2340]

Who casually walks a dog in a skatepark? Just imagine what happened to JDs ankle happened to that dogs ankle.

[@verynaughty6563]

They should maybe try the same thing on a steel or titanium deck and get sparks flying every trick. I mean, you'd have even less grip than wood, so will definitely get bodied to death, but you'll go out in a shower of sparks.😅😵🤕

[@nicholascrow8133]

Have you done an inverted nail board? Like the nail board but the nails go in from the top and stick out the bottom

[@thebrokenskater]

interesting concept but the soles of your skate shoes may not like that idea. someone is going to slip and fall.

[@danielfelix8713]

Next one use sad paper as grip tape for the board

[@cricui]

Anita Max Wynn 😍
