HOW I GOT HIRED BY BRAILLE SKATEBOARDING

[@rickyglaser]

This took a really long time to put together, let me know if you like this style of video and what story I should tell next

[@musicride6442]

I love this video, you are truly inspiring.

[@ExampleSkaters]

By far my favourite skater 👏

[@bdisbell]

I like sk8 🖤

[@omgvague]

I think the biggest hurdle for new skaters is the fear of falling. I think the biggest hurdle for veteran skaters is the fear of their bodies breaking down. If you could touch on how you overcame that fear of falling and some steps you've taken to keep your longevity, it could help a lot of people. I, myself, never could skate handrails. Ledges were fine but I took one bad spill from a rail and lost all confidence. Eventually I sustained some injuries that forced me into only committing to low impact tricks, as my body just couldn't take any hard slams to my hands (wrists mainly) and knees. If I were smarter about it like wearing pads at certain times (the beginning stages when learning HOW to fall is most important) and understanding how far I could push myself to progress organically instead of reaching too far beyond my current skill level, I'm sure I'd still be skating to this day.

[@PUCKnEH]

Awesome video. Was very coo lot see this side of the story. This is called destiny. We create our own destinies and you deserve it. You’re insanely talented in skating.

[@brailleskateboarding]

You killed it on this video, the day our paths crossed was definitely fate, love you Ricky!

[@rickyglaser]

❤️❤️❤️

[@bankruptsee]

We need AAron back on the channel.

[@90sceleb]

@@bankruptsee yeahh we miss aaron

[@reggieebbutt9760]

watching this video in the morning made me pick up my board and go skating, genuinely inspiring

[@BigFatCock0]

HAIL XENU!!!!!

[@wooly9976]

Ricky is probably the best thing to happen to braille, not only talent wise but he is super entertaining to watch. Love this guy!

[@uu3903]

And he's shown himself to be a sweetheart and great mentor.

[@Dshaw2]

One of those guys that try everything and is good at everything

[@JakeCrawford]

100% i like sk8

[@JeniseSpiteri]

You just went full cinematic production mode on a KZbin video and I’m here for it 👏

[@user-mb9yl5bl9r]

Then he met you! I feel like Braille completely changed his life….

[@whatilearnttoday5295]

Of course, it's an advert.

[@MaybeBasicBeats]

Got me tearing up bro! From the moment I saw you in a Braille video I could just tell you were the hardworking dude who maybe had been through some hard times but you were always gonna show up and put in work, idk, but you had a certain aura around you that just said “I’m gonna be great no matter what”. I could see your competitiveness and fire, You had persistence written all over you! Maybe I’m bugging but I was immediately drawn to you bro, you have the “IT” factor and I was inspired by you before I even knew a thing about you. Watching this and seeing how it all came together was beautiful. Keep shining Rick🤘✨

[@rickyglaser]

Very kind words thank you! All the best :)

[@BillSkatez]

Well said! My sentiments almost exactly.

[@Martin16707]

THIS VIDEO IS TRULY BEAUTIFUL BRO 😭 making me cry, I remember when I first saw you on one of the vids and I immediately new I liked you as a part of the Braille team

[@BenjaminRaven]

so pure. huge vid ricky

[@benjohnsoncreative]

Amazing job on this edit! Great story telling!

[@samsk834]

This is actually really inspiring Ricky!!! I’m only 16 at the moment but I’m trying my best to get good and some day my dream would be to make it to the braille team! This video is boosting my motivation significantly thank you! 😊

[@satori401]

Mastication means chewing lol

[@samsk834]

@$mokey sorry I meant motivation 😅

[@dylanwarren]

Congrats Rick! What a ride. We’re all so stoked for you!

[@dfgfffd]

RICKY WAS HAPPY IN ALL HIS VIDEO'S, AND PUTS A SMILE ON MY FACE AT ALL TIME'S, ON BAD DAY'S AND GOOD DAYS. HIS TALENT FOR SKATEBOARDING IS FUN TO WACH AND HIS VIDEO'S HELPED ME GET BETTER AT SKATEBORDING

[@DanEather]

When hard work meets opportunity. Love it, great vid. Congrats on all your success.

[@tylersteck6649]

Awesome story brother, truly inspiring me to start skating like I used too, but adult hood hit hard, I littery just turned 29 today, and I haven't been able to constantly been able to skate in honestly like a good 5 years, this video was honestly beautiful, it's got me so pumped up to go ride right now, and content like this absolutely rocks man, keep it up big dog, looking forward for more bro!!! 🙏🤙

[@rickyglaser]

Thank you! That's awesome! For what its worth in this video im 27-28 :)

[@prestong5869]

Happy birthday!

[@dutchjoyce6106]

i like how Rick still wears vans hi tops instead of braille shoes

[@Uziwalker]

Sick vid 🤘And we definitely thought u were a professional rip sticker that first time at Fremont lol

[@rickyglaser]

hahahah

[@JeniseSpiteri]

He fooled you all

[@megaflux7144]

credit where its due, this is the best content youve made so far. everything is on point and it resonated well.

[@connorswanson]

This video had me hyped! These past couple years of braille have been some of the best and you've been a big part of it! Wishing you all the continued success and can't wait to see what's to come :-D

[@DudeStone]

Ricky, you are a massive reason I got back into skateboarding the past couple of years so thank you and everything you provide for us fans and followers!!

[@HellsJack90]

I'm relatively new to skating but on my way to become a nicer person (I got a really negative mindset) I watched a lot of braille skating. From all Videos I liked the ones the most where you were part of in as well because it had the best good vibes and your skating is really awesome as well. Seeing you and the other guys doing the tricks that all look so easy but actually are hard is awesome and how you cheer each others up and celebrating the accomplishments. One day if I'm able to do some more on the board I'd really like to visit you guys for a game of skate. Well, you really make me want to skate good so, see you in some years lol.

[@jbachman01]

Great video! Loved seeing skate clips scattered through the story telling

[@ogchuck42]

I remember seeing your first video with the Braille team, and was so hyped on your skating and style. I skated one of your folklore decks, and have your Braille pro board signed from you up on my wall. Keep killing it Ricky you’re one of my favorite skaters!!

[@agh101]

What a great story, so happy that your on the team!!!

[@Magic_sk8board_media]

This is for sure my favorite video of yours! Epic journey! Finish the story!🤯

[@Thelifeofsteveo]

Props to you brother! You did what so many people are afraid to do, follow their dreams. You're living proof that it works! You're such a great addition to the team. Peace!

[@J.HAesthetics.]

i love that you shared your backstory ricky ,this is real inspiring too me cause im a beginner skater

[@forg0tten]

Chris, Mo and Nigel are fucking crazy, and I've watched since Carlos -- but Ricky is my fave skater by far. Thank you Braille for bringing him to us. 🔥🔥🔥

[@Dadbot]

You truly are a gifted skater Ricky. Some of these tricks would be in pro videos even today. Great work

[@whiskeyssmile3082]

I don't skate, but have been down the skateboarding KZbin rabbit hole for some reason the last week or so. Skateboarding aside that was a beautifully told story and pretty inspiring. Like one of those stories that transcends the sport it's from and can be inspirational to anyone for any goal. Well done man.

[@RevelationOne]

Love that I got to see the story of how you started working at Braille. Just watched the worlds best ripsticker video after watching tons of Braille videos where you are already a highly established member to the team and was wondering if that's where it all started and boom, Then I seen this video. Love seeing the small beginnings, Keep up the amazing work!

[@AdrienRaza]

This was great!

[@rickyglaser]

❤️❤️❤️

[@danpratscher4375]

Taking the Braille Warehouse back part one... Some amazing tricks here, keep killing it Ricky!

[@tn01h]

thats amazing story and happy for you get in the Braille. Always happy to watch videos, keep it up!

[@fuzzywumble]

ngl, can't imagine the braille team without you now. Love your skate style and your will to commit every trick is inspiring. also, YEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!

[@cingkobrasfj]

Dude! You have quickly become my favorite skater. The determination and never quit is so inspiring. I was never a great skater (I could Ollie and flip the kickflip and heel flip but I’ve never landed it) anyways, I’ve never watched someone do something on a board, and think to myself. “I could do that”. You make everything look so natural. Even the sketchy landings are still bangers. So thanks for all you do in the industry and inspiring me to get back on a board after 15 or so years. You’re the man Rick.

[@joshcutting5894]

Great to see. Would love to see your creative process for a new trick - the vision to see something, figuring out how to do it. Trying it, landing it.

[@judezennis2070]

It’s so amazing to see your beautiful journey and the path you’ve taken to get to Braille, would love to see a video for everyone in Braille of how they got to now

[@codyd._]

Amazing vid, your story boggles my mind, if it weren’t for braille I wouldn’t be skateboarding and what’s funny is I just heard of braille when you joined the team. Your energy from the start has been inspiring and addicting to watch

[@derekrobinson56]

Man what an epic story/adventure. I stumbled across your Videos by accident and love watching them. You are such an inspiration. At 36 years old and 18 years off, I have just taken up skating again. Love your work man, yew 🤙

[@gregbarg6688]

Such a good video - love the fact that you just love skateboarding and are down to skateboard...sounds stupid but you see so many skaters that are so exclusionary

[@harleyrobles560]

Ricky honestly had one of the best attitudes in braille he is always hyped and down to try stuff! And always looks out for all the other members and know how to be a “core skater” while having fun!

[@Haseltine333]

U seem like such a great guy and u became my fave basically day one cause of ur positive vibes. I never seen u annoyed or mad and I seen hundreds of videos! Cheers mate! ❤

[@52JMD]

You have such mad skills on a board, and now as an editor too!! WOW!!! Thank you for this one man!!

[@TomCatSkateboarding]

Amazing to see the story , thanks for editing and sharing Ricky 👍🏼

[@snipe4lllife]

Sick video dude. Keep up the good work you truly are the man! 😎

[@devious_diplomat5528]

I love this! I know you have done similar videos in the past but origin of braille team members could be an amazing series!

[@AgentFourInch]

Goddamn it. Why you gotta be so inspirational like that? You're awesome, brother! Great Video.

[@emem_nrd237]

Theres no true Braille Skateboarding without Rocky Glaser!

[@ManG1aze]

When you watched this back, did you tear up a lil bit? Lol its gotta be so surreal for you man. I remember watching this all unfold through the videos, and it was talked about here and there. But to us, you were just here after a while. No explanation of the process. I loved this, good shit Ricky. Happy for you man

[@Idekbru]

Good shit man. When you showed up at braille I was fairly new to watching the content and the way you showed up really brought new vision to what they were doing. You’re an awesome skater in an awesome dude keep it up

[@amayernican]

That was absolutely fantastic! I love you Ricky. I'm a little sad when you're not on today's episode of Braille. Be safe and I like SK8E

[@LonnieHutchinson90]

Love the video! I couldn’t imagine watching Braille without you on the squad!

[@fromtheclutches2166]

Dude, Hell Yeah! The Braille Team has been teaching/inspiring me a lot recently after buying my first board in over 16 years. This video definitely showcases your talents well. Keep inspiring, bro dab! Rip-Rick!! 😝

[@koltonkossey8354]

You’re dope man. You joining the braille team was one of the first braille videos I remember watching. I bought my first board a few days later, not a lot of progression since then but I love getting out there. #ilikeskate

[@jonathonaltmann4493]

Love your story bro. Thanks for representing Aus in the Braille team and thanks Braille team for your videos.

[@travismurphy-skatedad2465]

Rad video. Great storytelling. It's really cool to see the process of how everything worked out. Thanks for sharing.

[@geoffjackson]

I love the power and versatility that you skate with, and it was so cool seeing your origin story.

[@StuffnThings42]

Awesome video Ricky. You and the Braille team constantly inspire me and help me to get up and try again. Thanks for all you do. 👊

[@TrackstarOP]

This is so inspirational, it just shows that anyone can chase their dreams if they put in the work. Congratz on all your success! 🙌

[@Toknus]

I’ve grown up watching Braille since Aron used to film at that one park where the glass board happened. Crazy I’ve been watching Ricky every episode since that first one!

[@oscarobrien-l4v]

[@Kooaid-9]

[@Shock_Mike_Hawke]

Man, I still remember when the first time you made an appearance in Braille video. Super awesome.

[@Labergemusic]

This should just be posted on the main Braille channel. So well done!

[@jarnesss2546]

I remember seeing that video where you started shredding up the braille house and thinking this man needs to be a regular. Can’t believe how far you’ve come (quite literally AUS > USA)

[@Dave3rdEyeArt]

Iv been following Ricky when he was in Australia for a few years! So awesome to see him on Braille! Its crazy because I called it before it even was a thing.

[@Jamtron88]

Ricky, you developed skills in skateboarding and media/film production and out yourself out there and made use of them and took opportunities that came your way. That's what life's all about, work hard and take chances.

[@Migit818]

This was dope. A real easy watch. Very enlightening to see your side! I might have started watching Braille vids more because of you low key Haha #ILikeSk8

[@bradg6588]

Great job man!! You have a talent for film as well as skating. Keep up the good work 👏

[@marsupialstacey]

Love this channel man🔥🔥🤙🏾

[@brandonlawhon2097]

Sick video Ricky! So happy for your journey and the 🔥 content!

[@Sam_Peterson]

It wasn't even skateboarding that started the best part of his skateboarding career. keep it up

[@Devinthekiller]

I saw your Braille ripstick shortly after it was originally dropped. It's crazy how life works! Good on you brother! I like sk8

[@thatfoojuan]

Love seeing you on braille bro, I remembered how hyped I was when I heard the announcement that you were joining.

[@Johnnysabboy]

I love how your second choice park that day in Victoria was RoF 🤟

[@rickyglaser]

lmao we literally drove to geelong and back to just go to ROF

[@GasStationSushiSkatesat48]

Love this video! So glad to have discovered you/Braille!

[@NickPanik]

Wow really enjoyed this! Such a cool story 😊 in the beginning I was like "who is this guy" but then I realized how much talent you bring to braille. Definitely the best skater on the team ever, sorry Carlos ❤️

[@kurtmcgivern86]

Amazing story. Well done. Loved seeing Geelong indoor sk8 park, if only for a second. Only got to skate it once when I was over seeing family. Don’t know if you hard of Rivers Edge sk8 park from the 90s. Might be to young.

[@jordanpolovinaofficial]

Love it big Rick! Keep up the great work! Much deserved
