Personal Review: Im almost 30, used to skate all through my teens til about 19/20. couldnt trick. tried, could never ollie. i can carve though. Im wanting to start filming again so i picked up some inlines and a board. i got the board 2 days ago. I went out to a brand new parking lot with my dog and had her tug me around. it felt how i remembered for the most part. My trucks came loose like I like. it does feel somewhat cheap in my hands, but riding it feels good. i thought it was small because i was grown, not the actual deck size. thanks for clearing that up. i bought it on clearance for $20, after literally testing one out in the sport isle for $30~ Dont know why some were clearanced and others werent, but its fine. i dont plan on testing how breakable it is, but for $20 this thing is perfectly ridable. If you know better, then it might feel cheap in your hands, i cant describe it. but a true beginner/novice wouldnt be able to tell, and it feels completely normal riding

[@OriginalFallofMind]

Just curious, not being a dick but why couldn't you do tricks after that long? Just not your thing? I could do alot with in a year and truly enjoy it but I mainly liked the lifestyle in the early 90s. I had friends that got sponsored and were way more serious than me plus I did have a limit of fear. Lol

[@Wenjo936]

I just never grasped the whole ollie thing. idk. i just popped the board up and slammed it down over and over. half pipes were also scary. i was gonna try recently. but shiiit

[@anthonygrant694]

Im no master skater and dont currently skate but when I did for the ollie I would bring my knees up a decent amount. That way you know you got the ollie because the board stays with your feet. Of course, after you do the basic of the ollie pop. Also, it felt weird to do certain things if the board was too big.

[@2HEX]

Skateboard Factory Feedback: - Shrink wrapping decks before assembling the trucks saves about 2 USD per board. Decks scratch very easily when taken from the print shop to the assembly line and during the assembly. The shrink wrap prevents the decks from being scratched and also allows the manufacturer to stack gripped decks. This way the assembly line can run at twice the speed. - 95A is the cheapest urethane hardness for skateboard wheels. Braille was smart to use the N shape wheels. These are popular for technical skating and use little material (cheaper)! - This truck shape is popular for low cost skateboards because it uses close to the least amount of aluminum possible. This makes the trucks less durable but much lighter which is a great trade off for light kids. Due to its lower durability when used by heavy people this truck fails CE tests and is therefor forbidden to be sold in Europe. - The trucks are tightened so strongly because factory drills are extremely strong. High end boards are loosened with a T-tool after the assembly. Keeping the trucks hard saves one step in the production. - The grip: OS780 is not just letters! This is the composition of expensive pro level grip tape, comparable to Jessup! And like you said, it’s not MOB. MOB uses OS60. However, I don’t believe this board really comes with OS780 grip at that price - based on the color and your reaction it should be 80S which is still great grip, just using cheaper glue and only one size of crystals. - All in all this skateboard was planned very smart. Braille saved where it hurts skaters the least. Kids will now have an actual real skateboard as their first board!

I remember when I was 12 the boards I got were just trash. One I got as a birthday gift since some family friend's found out I wanted to try skateboarding so they went to Walmart and got one for like $30 I think or $20. It was good enough to ride for a bit, the board was pretty good but the trucks were so ass. Just plastic. I landed my first shuv it on that board but after I did, the trucks broke. I literally kept going an on till I landed it. Second board I hated the most. Trucks had no real way to tighten or loosen them and they were just in a shit spot where I didn't even want to ride it. That board might of been what made me not skate at all since I had friends who had skateboards that were decent while mine was just annoying to ride. Now two weeks ago I go to a local shop in my city and get a complete and I just want to ride the hell out of it. If I had a decent option for a skateboard back then I feel I probably would had stuck to it more.

Yeah that’s all heartfelt and a nice story but at the end of the day you get what you pay for and a cheap board is a cheap board. If kids want a good board they have to shell out the cash just like I did when I was 13-14. Walmart is still selling shitty boards at a low price just like they’ve always done, and I’m not too impressed by these being “slightly” better.

For those that wonder why, the decks are made at one factory and shrink wrapped to protect them from shipping damage. The trucks are made at a different factory. They meet up and are assembled and is cheaper/easier to just use the deck shrink wrap for protection rather than remove it before assembly.

My first was a walmart board when I was 5, almost 18 years ago. My dad broke it in half teaching me to ollie (he was 6'7"), I was pissed but he let me build my own to make up for it and I've skated ever since. I couldn't agree more that buying cheap like this is the way to go, 5 years old or 50. I've had too many friends since that were interested in skating, so ofc I would tell them "dude build your own, walmart boards will snap in half", then they drop 120+ to skate it for a couple days before giving up. I think this board is the perfect step so people dont break bank on something they find to dislike, but also don't literally break it before knowing.

[@0xsergy]

When it breaks in half you still got a decent set of trucks and wheels tho and by then youll know if you're enjoying it. Here in canada the cheapest walmart boards are 100 bucks, fuggin ripper

[@dillonoickle5841]

yeah was intrested as a kid parents bought me a walmart board that had plastic trucks and the wheels flat spotted first ride and i gave up now like 15 years later im watching a bunch of skateboard stuff i always found interesting and i wish i had a board that i could have at least pushed around on without it dying on me legit less then 10 minutes into being on it. and again the video they have promoting this board they say themselves it is a beginner board for people just starting.

[@popo0129]

Yeah I am a bit jealous kids get this opportunity now where I didn't back when I was 12 and getting my first board lol. Went through two and the second Walmart one just made me lose interest. I think this would at least get kids to know the basics then maybe down the line if their parents have the funds or if the kid saves up or teen works, then they can get a more expensive better board. The Walmart boards did help me learn how to ride and balance at least but god I hated that second one so bad. First board was fine except for the trucks being plastic and breaking after I landed my first shuv it.

Hey Dan, love the channel one of my favorites for sure. This vid made me think back to the first pro board I ever owned which was the Sims Kevin Staab pirate deck, hot pink Gullwing trucks, and 69mm Slimballs. (If that doesn’t date me). My very first board that got me into skating was a $5 board my mom bought at a Flea Market. When I think about it, I don’t think it mattered about the quality of the board, it was more of a feeling once I first stepped on it. From that first contact I knew it, an instant connection. 40+ years later, the bodies taken a beating and I’m not as daring or limber as I used to be, but I’m still shredding. I taught my sons the joy of skating and I’m currently teaching my grandson. Might pick him up a Braille board…lol

If you die tonight, do you know where you're going? Did you know that Jesus Christ is THE Truth, the life and the only way to Heaven? Revelation 20:15 ''Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.'' Through Jesus Christ, God offers you a FREE gift - forgiveness. All you need to do is repent, turn away from your sins and evil ways, from now on put your faith completely in Jesus Christ and be obedient to Him. Biblical explanation of the Gospel: God doesn’t want anybody in hell, but you must understand why we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go there. He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteous, but rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). God gave us free will and since Adam sinned in the garden, sin is the nature of our flesh and we ALL have sinned. (Romans 3:23) The law demands death to those who sin (Romans 6:23). Since we have all sinned, we all deserve hell. Revelation 21:8 says that all liars will go to hell. Yes, even if you have lied once in your life, you are sentenced to hell - that's how high God's standards are of moral perfection because God is holy and righteous, there is not one sin in Him. For someone to be justified before holy God they have to be sinless, that's why everyone need Jesus Christ - for He lived a sinless life, died on the cross and rose from the dead on the third day. None of us are good in God’s eyes, because for God good means moral perfection. We all have broken God’s commandments, we all have sinned in our lives so none of us are good. ‘’For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.’’ (James 2:10). Our carnal mind is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's moral law and it never will (Romans 8:7). We hate the thought of God for the same reason a criminal hates a policeman - we know we have sinned against God and are guilty of it and we don't want to be damned. No good works will ever save you. You can't earn salvation by good works, because God will judge us for our sin. Good News is that Jesus Christ lived a perfect, holy, sinless life and He died for our sins according to the Scriptures, He was buried and He was raised from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.’’ (John 3:16) We aren’t saved by our good works, but only by the grace of God through faith in Christ. ''For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9) Jesus said ‘’it is finished’’ (John 19:30) just before He died on the cross, which means He paid the fine for our sins (past, present, future) to be forgiven only IF we repent and trust in Him. This is how you can get saved from sin and hell - repent of your sins and trust in Jesus Christ. Get to know Him by reading God's Word. So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.” (Luke 11:13) ''What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!'' (Romans 6:15) ''Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out'' (Acts 3:19) Repentance is a turning away from sin and all evil works, and it always results in changed behavior (Luke 3:8). Biblically, a person who repents does not continue willfully in sin. While sorrow from sin is not equivalent to repentance, it is certainly an element of scriptural repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10). Do not play a hypocrite. ''God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.'' (1 John 1:5-6) (John 3:3) Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again." If you have repented and have genuine faith in Jesus Christ then you will receive the gift of Holy Spirit and be born-again spiritually. When you believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession - to the praise of His glory. (Ephesians 1:13-14) Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. (John 3:36) ''You will know them by their fruits'' (Matthew 7) If you have been truly born-again with the Holy Spirit and He has regenerated your heart, you will desire righteousnes - to do what is good and righteous in God's eyes, to seek God everyday in His Word and prayer, to strengthen your relationship with God. You will no longer desire to willfully continue living in sin but will want to obey God out of your love for Him because of His amazing grace revealed to us through the death and resurrection of His Son. ''Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.'' (2 Corinthians 5:17) ''For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.'' (Eph 2:10) You will have a testimony - of what your life had been before and how has it changed now when you have surrendered it to Lord Jesus Christ. As a declaration and affirmation of your faith in Jesus Christ, get baptised in water because He commanded us to do so. In John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.'' ''Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit'' (Matthew 28:19) ''Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.'' (Acts 2:41) ''And this water symbolizes the baptism that now saves you also - not the removal of dirt from the body, but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God - through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,'' (1 Peter 3:21) ''We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.'' (Romans 6:4) ''Having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.'' (Colossians 2:12) Please get right with God and get to know Jesus Christ personally today before it’s too late, because there’s not much time left! "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.’’ (Mark 13:32) Get to know Christ through God's Word - Bible. At first I recommend reading Gospel of John and book of Romans. God bless you! Jeremiah 29:13 - ''You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.''

You don't need Braille Dan, Braille needs you, as a sales man. (I bought 5 just for the grip tape).

[@DanCorrigan]

Hahahaha

[@padredon7]

Checked Walmart's website while watching your review and this board was priced at $8.99! Is Braille giving them to Walmart for free? The limit was 2 so I bought 2. After the $5.99 min order fee and tax I paid 25.52 shipped. One arrived a few days later and then they refunded me for the other saying they were sold out. The second one arrived yesterday free of charge. Bingo I guess. Other than the trucks lack of turning radius, and for the price, it is a surprisingly well made/equipped board. Thanks for the review and the heads up.

[@johnnyresin]

It's amazing that something like this exists. I really wish it had when I started skating! Thank you Braille, for everything you do for skateboarding, and the world in general! 💚

[@scrappyhustler7467]

Bro u make everything look so effortless like I wanna run outside and try to replicate what ur doing on my board but just don't have the skill set yet 🙃 keep these vids Rollin in just subscribed.

[@thebillcollector]

IDK dude, you skated the heck out of it! Sounded good, had pop, truck grinded

[@kylemcw8301]

My mates son got one… seeing as I’ve been skating for years (& fully aware of the Walmart & NO fear boards)…. I was actually really impressed with it. It is EVERYTHING and more you need for a beginner! They actually turn, roll and have concave…. I’m glad Braille stayed true too their words & didn’t Sell Out with the Walmart deal! 🤘

[@himebaughchris4026]

$28? I'd rock it. I'm Dying that you are reviewing your fam's products though and admitting that Gabe might shadow ban you. lmao

[@vibinoutside]

showing people money doesn't matter, love this one

[@vdfritzz]

kids can skate a genuinely good board for basically mcdonalds money, that's great

[@noahmyou]

you are completely right about the truck companies. krux definitley dont turn.

[@petervanschaack8361]

The question I would like to know is how does it compare quality wise to the braille boards they sell on their website?

[@banktella1537]

Rule of thumb, you get what you pay for.

[@syzyphyz]

No he says that in the video, and that they basically say it's not the same quality as their regular boards, but it isn't half bad and is way better than what have come to be known as "Walmart boards"

[@Si74l0rd]

I'm with you bro, Indy's turn like nothing else. Aside from having to hunt down the last few sets of Stage VIIs about twenty years ago, I'm pleased that they reverted to the same geometry again in the end. I didn't like the 8's and 9's, but I got a new set of the newest 129mm's for my 7'75, and they're beautiful. As good as the Stage VII's for sure. So nice when companies don't sell out and go downhill. I like a narrow board but I like quite an aggressive concave on it. I'm not a fan of flat boards.

[@KSabot]

Damn this thing is $20 on their website? Might buy this for a nephew lol. Get him into skating.

[@lucid622]

Imma appreciate that independent joke 💀

[@rockbandgamer]

When you said better than destructo quality that caught me off guard. I skated in the Baker 3 era and just recently picked it back up, But I remember back in the early 2000's that I had some green destructo trucks. I was young, but I never had any complaints with them. Now I ride thunders, but anyway....Were destructo's good at one point? Whatever happened with that company Dan?

[@DanCorrigan]

They tried to make a comeback and made some really really awful trucks that don’t turn

[@nikkowhite7732]

How old are you ? Just curious because I also skated in that era and I'm 35 now and as much as I'd love to pick it back up I just don't see it happening lol , more power to you glad your back we never really leave it behind do we

[@rockbandgamer]

@@nikkowhite7732 I am 29! The falls certainly hurt a lot more and I was sore as hell after every day of skating....But now that I've been skating for about 8 months I'm used to it. The falls hurt less and I don't get sore from trying a trick for 2 hours straight. I skate flatground only.

[@purrpocalypse]

@@DanCorrigan Where did you hear this? They still make the D1's and they're better than they used to be.

[@michaeljimenez3782]

“Someone’s gonna have to get in Ross..” 😂

[@edthehuman9626]

oh of course, gotta make sure passes the taint test hahaha

[@DanCorrigan]

Taint test is critical

[@hybridlionable]

Loved the review and good to know. My only problem with beginner boards; as someone whose older and heavier set, around 240, I don’t think these boards would be good to learn on due to my weight. So a beginner board for me has to be a stronger board.

[@0xsergy]

Might want to lose some weight so you don't break a wrist or something. Definitely huge risk for injury when you're learning since falls are common.

[@Ben-qz6kg]

Just save up for a proper board with Indy trucks and ride it everywhere and after a few months you’ll be light enough to buy that beginner board ;)

[@OUTLAWinTX]

I’m pretty sure they had plenty of r&d sessions on these setups before going to market. I’d say these are perfect for that parent that isn’t gonna dump a bunch of money for something a kid will give up on in a week when they realize a lot of videos show “the makes” and not the hundreds of tries learning the makes. Good review bud!

[@JoaoSantos-xr4fw]

i really wanna start skating but i have no clue on what's best for a beginner and where to start... Would this board be worth it?

[@Daf__XL]

"no trucks turn" I thought the same until I got my trotta DH board with 44° caliber 3s... My Indy's almost throw me off when I try to pump on my 10" Vallely after pumping on the DH board lol Also, am I the only one that hates Indy bushings but likes Indy trucks? Lol

[@Airik1111bibles]

I road only indies through late 80s to mid 90s ..After starting up again I chose Thunders and was so happy with the feel , just enough control esp with death wobbles. Yes indies bushings suck IMHO but they are very solid. That said every truck has its unique turn radius that works for each persons style. I wish I had not been so biased back then cause I honestly love the way Thunders ride.

[@DanCorrigan]

I have a few homies that switch out the bushings. I always ride them as is tho

[@lizzw4216]

I don’t even know how the board review went because I was too busy laughing at her annihilating you lmao

"it's just a wood plank" - Hailey Isaak Skateboards in a nutshell I guess xD

[@amb158]

I think it’s nice to have something accessible to newer people that actually gives them a good experience that makes them want to continue rather than getting a shitty board that does nothing for you and then giving up on a sour experience.

[@KodyWalker]

I want to review one of those! Reviewing walmart boards are my most viewed videos haha.

[@babyzfpv1234]

Beginning of the video: “he’s going to DESTROY this pos.” Lol!

[@MultitaskingGuy]

You would think that the people at braille would have thicker skin

[@DanCorrigan]

It was a very select few. Still a lot of homies there

[@sion1885]

Ah man this is reminding me of back in the day when K-Mart used to sell those X games branded skateboard. They were about 8 or 8.2 those things were heavy and if you get caught out in the rain god that thing would be swollen for days great video man.

[@StellaSimsy]

Aaron Kyro sold out, he doesn't even care about skating anymore. what a shame. And it makes me uneasy knowing he's a scientologist.

[@benerakau]

Sold out in what way? And how do you know if he doesn't care about skateboarding anymore?

[@StellaSimsy]

@@benerakau Once you sell shitty boards at Walmart you're basically a sellout, he should be trying to support local skate shops. He's just a Mr.Krabs now

[@benerakau]

@@StellaSimsy They're decent boards for a beginner and that's their target audience... Also most skateshops wouldn't support them in my opinion but yeah I guess it could be considered selling out to some people

[@cmdrriotz5283]

My man determines length by how hard it stabs him in the taint. "I wonder how long this cucumber is...." 🤣

[@Hammerhandle]

It's almost an advertisement to support the Church of Scientology.

[@user-iw6vf4vl7n]

soft wheels = less noise? and less pain in the feet when landing? and less numbing vibration on feet when riding a rough surface?

[@ChikoBonez]

Great beginner skateboard!

[@nicolestrange8436]

thank you for your honesty. as for the female in this video it's pretty obvious she just wanted to talk shit on Braille. she didnt even try to give it a fair chance. her mind was already made up and that took away from the quality of your video.

[@silas1565]

I think the woman in the video has actually done kickflip tutorials with braille if im correct, i wonder why she is takin a dump on the product when she hardly tried it

[@littlebunnywar]

Damn. You had me sold on this, i figured id go on and buy a board, but these are literally nonexistent online now. Same exact board going for like $70 on eBay, so I'm not doing that.

[@edwhitson9873]

Awesome product for kids whose parents are struggling, and who are really interested in the sport

[@kronik5927]

Walmart has been surprising me with some of the stuff they've decided to carry lately. I found an actual Darkstar board that wasn't all too bad a couple years ago when I was visiting some family in Tennessee. It's all chipped, water logged, all fucked up from grinding and whatnot, but I've still got it. Was a pretty good investment while I was out of state and away from home. Now that I know they sell Braille boards, I think I'm going to go grab a few of them.

[@TechdicsHouseAudio]

by far the best first board to get... is a professional branded board from a board shop... even a hand me down from a local setting up a new board is better... but def not a knock off from the totalitarian corporate world. Its def a scam directing the beginners within the community and industry to corporations and not to local business and brands with the only purpose and intent is skateboarding.

[@sirius4k]

Love your channel man!! Much love from CNY

[@jeffhiggins1340]

I love watching your channel. Not so sure a 7.75 is not your thing as you looked great on it. I’m a beginner and have a 7.75 and an 8 and I like the 7.75 better for some reason. What are you riding? 8.75?

[@CHURRO_FIYA]

Same thing I do, put my garbage in my pockets 😆

[@graalcloud]

My first skateboard was from ROSES in the year 2000, it had a Gundam Wing graphic. It actually did help me to decide that I wanted to skate and my next board was a World Industries, the rest is history.

[@ronniecole6054]

for how much it costs to build this board, its a good board. if youve jumped on a regular wal mart board, you would def feel the difference.

[@CroshVine]

The reason you can't loosen the trucks is because of the kingpin depth, which you praised earlier. If you have a lower kingpin, you don't hangup on grinds, but you also don't have a ton of space to tighten and loosen. Seems like they went shorter than they should.

[@SpartanOfLuxon]

Bro the Taint Test is hilarious. I've never thought to do that

[@timmyriding8]

Are these only available at Walmart in the USA? Im in Canada and would like to buy one for my nephew but cant find them

[@famousgoldentouch]

Ive to agree with some others down here, the east coast mentality and your easy going honesty are besides your skills two of the main reasons I love your channel 🤘

[@ballzac4209]

I love your measuring method man! Taint jabbage needs to be the new unit of measure haha thanks for the honest review

[@CoolKD2005]

Looks like a value for that price if you ask me.. I never understood why they always miss on the geometry of a good turning truck. All the cheap ones do that.
