Ref was lame but dope skateboarding

[@brandoncraig3796]

Judge was super biased and kinda douchy. But JD killed it either way!! Props to Eli as well 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@thesansguy6440]

Yup. The judge was very biased

[@Walker_shreds]

Judge was enjoying tearing down a 12 year old.

[@yammie1536]

You're joking right? It's a vert game of skate, why would something halfway up the ramp count, and same with the truck not hitting the coping, we all heard it didn't. Sounds like you guys are biased if anything.

[@bmaxime8771]

@@yammie1536 so why did the judges were ok with the ice plant slide from Eli where he didnt slide at all but they ask a redo to JD lel You're a clown xD

[@L4rceny]

JD is in the company of monsters going head to head with them at freakin 12 years old! Unbelievably amazing dude. I swear he's a future olympian. Keep that personality kid you're a beast!

[@zaharu4375]

The ref sucks. On the ice pick slide that JD did, Eli didn’t slide at all, he only did a stall. Not to mention many other instances in which the ref did a bad job IMO. It was hard to watch honestly.

[@zaharu4375]

Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed the skating. I just think the execution of the game could have been better. Much love to the skaters, both were excellent

[@Shastasnow]

Yeah, I was bothered by that. Can we have Gabe back lol

[@diablodan1459]

agreed

[@54raceman]

Yeah that one had me yelling at my phone lol

[@demonictowtoe7983]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@jadeniantosca1377]

wow that judge killed the vibe so quick

[@MrMbhiltz]

JD is a beast. As he builds his street flip game, just imagine his height and skill. Amazing, stay healthy!!

[@brailleskateboarding]

Thanks a ton

[@thesansguy6440]

I like turtles

[@donsouthard]

Had to pause when JD rang the bell 🤯🤯🤯 Insane!

[@jdsanchez___]

This was a great game! Eli did some crazy tricks! 🤙🏽

[@katotornado4312]

Did you call him Andy

[@brailleskateboarding]

So did you!

[@lisa_r5]

You played a great game, JD. Awesome 🔥

[@brandonfinch881]

Bro, you landed tricks that they made you redo because they were scared they were going to lose to you.....a 12 year old. He was 25. Bro, just know, your fans know that was trash what they did. They were scared little homie. Keep killing it man!!

[@zaharu4375]

You were great JD. I am sure if you had been skating as long as long as your opponent has, you would be able to land all of those tricks. Keep progressing!

This was a fantastic game, and Eli pulled off some incredible feats!

[@brailleskateboarding]

Much love

[@johnleland4120]

4:41 ice plant slide more like ice plant no slide what the refs ears only work when jd is setting ? 5:06 kickflip melon below vert what the refs opened his eyes only during jds set?! 9:43, 10:36 jd fouls for reference. not saying jd didnt fouls, AM saying eli did and got no call. Reff "your out of here", new ref!

[@luistapia1345]

yeah ref basically fixed the match

[@luistapia1345]

@@blazin_sky is he wrong tho?

[@opinionatedshmuck4405]

@@luistapia1345 on top of that it was as clear as day that he didnt slide for the ice plant

[@brandonlawhon2097]

That "judge" couldn't be more biased making up rules on the fly. Looking like an NFL ref in pure mid-season form. Dude is 🗑

[@zaharu4375]

100%. Plus, he announced rules as the game went along. The best way to ref a game is to explain the rules before the game begins. This ref failed to do that, which means he did a poor job

[@ProjectWander]

Really didn't like that guy, real bad vibes. I hope you read this bud

[@Shastasnow]

Gabe is best at making rules. I feel it is one thing to expect neat tricks on a trick, you know, but not so much on ones you don't do as much.

[@whiteboycarl9944]

Exactly like he's a kid also competing against a 25 year old like bro

[@Ollie_North]

he is the worst ref braile has had

[@stefan.nicolescu]

Great video, loved both contestants skill and admired the way they interacted and bonded during this contest. 👏👏👏 Unfortunately i was outraged by judges atitude and final coments in a game of skate between an adult and a pre-teen... 👎

[@Krawberry]

Yeah, wasn't a big fan of him either

[@juliobaezajr8801]

agreed w judge

[@54raceman]

Yeah he definitely needs reminded what it feels like to get punched in the face

You guys are part of why I have my 7 year old at the skate park with me multiple days a week. I got back on a board after 15 years and I'm sharing my love and knowledge (most of my know how is thanks to you guys)

[@brailleskateboarding]

Wow so awesome thanks!

[@earth2zamiyah]

I love the way everyone treats JD and recognizes him as a worthy and capable component despite his age it’s wonderful to see

[@brailleskateboarding]

Much love

[@michaelward1300]

Loved the game, they both did amazing but that judges vibe didn't sit right with me.. didn't seem to come with the usual braille positivity we love to see

[@Kazperian]

I was looking for this comment or I was gonna say something, pretty unfair too btw

[@MR.CARDSS]

He got points but it’s about the attitude

[@thevanityproject6480]

Yeah I agree, the guy came across like a footie coach going through a tough divorce.

[@jdizzle8035]

Yeah man, this guy was def harder on JD... Gabe Cruz woulda been a better choice of judge

[@54raceman]

Honestly I’d probably have ended up knocking his lights out by end of the game lol

[@aburrimiento2]

JD is so pure. If anyone deserves a dope childhood like this one it's him. I can't think of any other sports where professional adults would welcome and support a kid like this. So much talent out there that no one's taking serious.

[@mlodynixon668]

they were going way to harsh on JD maaan but anyway great video

[@KarlMasich66]

Jd pretty much had that oven trick thing would love to see him do that in a next vid. Much love !

[@brailleskateboarding]

Lets get it!

That Adam Taylor guy is straight up wack!!!who is he anyway!!!his ruining the vibe!! Show him the door

So rad! Both Eli and JD killed it, can't wait for episode 2!

[@brailleskateboarding]

Thanks so much!

[@lamsksk8fam897]

Listen bro I have no hate for any skaters but that ref was choosing sides frfr when jd did the iceplant slide he slide his board and dude didnt slide his board but that wasn't a rebate but jd lands the truck under the coping and it's a rebate I call B's and I have never commented negative on here before but that's messed up wheres Gabe to fix that stuff

[@diablodan1459]

unfortunately Gabe was on the ladder focusing on filming

[@jacobodonnell4742]

why was the ref so biased lol that’s sad JD is just a kid can’t even get a fair win

[@brandonfinch881]

Wow, that was unfair. Those dudes were just scared there dude was going to lose to a 12 year old. JD hit 2 of those tricks and had to redo them. That was complete trash. Sad to see, cuz JD is truly a better skater, IN MY EYES!! My own opinion.

[@brailleskateboarding]

Much love ❤️

[@diablodan1459]

Eli also did a ice pick stall instead of a slide but somehow it still counted

[@Shock_Mike_Hawke]

Hopefully the Brick Oven trick will be Jd's persistent part, that trick was sick

[@Golden_glizzy]

Great job JD your still on your journey to becoming the best vert skater ever keep up the great work TEAM JD 🤙🏽

The best series you have ever done!!!!!!!!!!

[@troy6600]

The guys doing the intro and calling it seem like a stiff and kinda rude. No enthusiasm or niceness. Nigel basically carried it but it was wierd because of them.

Whoever the judge and the bald guy are are dbags. Don't put them in the rest of this series. JD is GOATED

Elis ice plant didn’t slide. Rigged

[@brailleskateboarding]

Much love

[@zaharu4375]

I saw that too. 100% should have been a letter. It was merely a stall. Also it would have been nice if the rules were stated clearly before the game instead of as it went along

[@luistapia1345]

yeah the ref wasnt at all neutral

[@Professionalyoutubeviewer]

Eli ended at T so he still takes the game either way they call his ice plant. Great game.

Day 29... I think the best place to do the one footer in the Braille warehouse is the ledge in between the quarter pipes and the stairs. If you were about to jump the stairs the ledge would be on your left... I hope I explained that clearly! 😂🤙

[@ahunterohio]

knew JD would lose in the first minute of the video. Eli def had that pro wrestler kind of attitude of " I'm here to show off because I'm sponsored and suppose to win" where jd was super humble with his intro. Secondly having the team trainer as a judge to say "I'm the judge and what I say goes" with little to no sarcasm. 100% would rather seen 3 judges one from braille one the manager and one non biased. This whole video was just for Eli to show off. Cant wait to see JD destroy posers the older he gets great video though just a shame how great it could've been

[@quentinricart2440]

I m a bit disappointed…… Not about the skaters at all. They were both great !!!!!! But Adam Taylor was rude with JD ( let s not forget he s 12 and already killing it ) ……… And I didn’t like to see that braille didn’t do anything about that. I get that they are sponsors and they bring money….. but this time, skating was not for fun …..

[@brailleskateboarding]

Oh no Im sorry I wasnt there for this. Adam Taylor loves JD also. Works with him all the time.
