Ricky Glaser on How Braille Changed His Life, His Best Friend Betraying Him, & Influencer Struggles!

[@rickyglaser]

Yo chat let me know if I should pull the trigger on the diss track 😂This came out great, thanks for having me on.

[@theJACK__]

only if you rap in Australian!

[@soulessone420]

You're better than something as cringe as a diss track.

[@YouMadBruh420]

Do it

[@LuffyDYami]

would be better to not even acknowledge buddy no more 🔥

[@shalabazertheboltstruck8645]

Wanna say no so badly but then again I wanna se you do it too hahah it would be fun I'm sure

[@VintageSk8]

I am a 53 year old disabled vet, I used to surf, ride Moto Cross when I was injured overseas that was taken away, I received a life changing shoulder injury that left me with a prosthetic shoulder I still have mobility but I can't surf or ride bikes anymore. As an adrenalin junky I really had an empty spot in my life, it wasn't until I watched an episode of Braille where this older guy was skating, I want to thank Aaron for that for bringing that excitement and feeling back again a year later I have taught myself with the help from (Braille videos) to Ollie, Manual and I accidently learned fakie Ollie's. So say what you will about Aaron Kyro and Braille but he is doing what his plan getting new people into skateboarding! Thanks Again Braille!

[@sandhanitizer15]

Yeah, his master plan...get kids into skateboarding and then brainwash them into getting into Scientology 😂 research who you're talking about before praising him

[@VintageSk8]

@@sandhanitizer15 well I am a Christian and he has never mentioned his religion or asked about mine! Went back randomly to around 30 videos and I can say he has never mention it. So how is he pushing Scientology?

[@sandhanitizer15]

@@VintageSk8 he doesn't push it at all in the Braille videos. I'm talking about real life, not his video persona

[@VintageSk8]

@@sandhanitizer15 Well I only watch his videos and if he isn’t putting it out there then I have nothing bad to say about it! Freedom of Religion one of the things I fought for!

[@sandhanitizer15]

@@VintageSk8 fair enough. The only problem with that is, Scientology shouldn't be considered a religion, but a scam. No need to argue though, you yourself said you only watch the videos and don't worry about his private life.

Ricky is great for this format. Honest and Straight to the point.

Nice catch..agree

[@Mj-cj8wd]

I like the idea of Lamont being a skateboard reporter

[@dtothej4044]

No, he would be considered as trying to copy Gary Roger's. Not that he did, but that's what would be said.

This video made me look at ricky in a different light, he seems pretty genuine

[@Labergemusic]

How the fuck does this audio sound like it's in a perfect studio? I seriously cannot believe how good this sounds.

[@thesamaffliction1572]

To be fair to Chris roberts on his Powell comments. He always for as long as I’ve seen the podcast said he appreciates how Andy and revive work. He loved the idea of kids buying boards from people they relate to and watch daily as well as pros they see in contests or yearly parts

[@stoneless_skating]

Lamont please add time stamps to these podcasts, that would help alot

[@Raziaar]

I love how honest Ricky is, always telling how he really feels. Even though McNugget wronged him, he's still like, "Damn, I really think McNugget is in the running here" and I would agree.

[@stephanyampolsky7187]

Its wild to hear rick get so real and raw

[@ShawnxEdge]

I was going to he’s usually tight with the facts but he’s loose here and opening up.

[@KR-xv7ni]

I always wondered what happened with mcnugget. I missed the blunt slides. Dude just disappeared one day. For about a year after I'd google like once a month to try to find out what happened but never found any info until just now. Glad to finally have the closure, but too bad it went down like that.

[@axxelgannon9146]

Lamont, you have a very relatable personality in a way that you feel like I actually know you and you're just a friend im watching have fun. Ofc I don't actually know you but I love your transparency

In my local skatepark here, almost taps down the tail when someone does a new thing, something sweet, or just progresses. All the guys are supportive to me being a old man now.

[@IchDuForeverExplorering]

i was 8 too when i "started" skateboarding, mainly riding my probably 10 inch white with top design and clear grip fishboard around, then one or 2 years later i got my first modern shape skateboard and was fliping it in the corner of our fence gate like crazy, i was doing double hardflips tre doubles and stuff, by holding myself up until the board landed, sometimes i even cached it in the air

[@bigpokecollectibles1441]

Bro Dan Webz just reviewed your two videos and they were pure fire. Also your song on I think the Chris Chan vid was so good. Also your slide/grind/manuel variations were pure crazy. Great spot choices too. Flowers bro, gotta give you your flowers. Definite sub right now, don’t know why it took so long cus your pod casts are freaking awesome too. If you still skated, nvm top 5 skaters even now. Last your steez was on point every trick. You the G.

[@lazyskb]

My new favorite podcast

[@AgentXaos]

A few months back I was in SF, feeling bad about myself. You see, I don't have much money and the only thing that seems to grow in my back yard are onions, so that's what most of my meals consist of...onion porridge, roasted onion with onion butter, deep fried onion, onion gumbo, etc. The thing about eating onions is if you eat enough of them you start to smell like an onion. My skin, my breath, my clothes, my hair - it all has the smell of onion, which only gets worse when I'm sweating. I was scared that I was gonna be harassed for being different, but I worked up the courage to hit up a local skatepark and who do I see at the skatepark but Richard Glaser himself. Ricky had been skating for a while, and he had worked up quite a sweat. As I got closer, I noticed a distinct smell emanating from his body...it was sour cream. The smell was so strong I was sure others could smell it too, but no one seemed to care. They just did their own thing and let Ricky do his. I didn't say anything to him because I didn't want to embarrass the guy, but I just skated as hard as I could alongside him and didn't care how it made me smell. Thank you for helping me get over my insecurities, Ricky!

[@sacramentofoodforest]

It’s crazy to me that Lamont stopped skating for so long. Growing I thought dude was HIM. he should be in the x games getting medals

[@MemeCastGuy69]

That Skater XL contest sounds crazy AF! Definitely looking it up after this

[@itachi_han]

I liked the background that they choose

[@AMMAZZARE]

Braille employee insisting that Braille money isn’t being funneled back into $cientology. “It’s all about the skating trust me!” Lol

[@snikklefritz3640]

I believe that the " it's about the skating " is the employee ideology. ...and 90% of employees don't have control over what a boss does.

[@snikklefritz3640]

You get paid, what you get paid, as an employee. Hell, even investors don't always have a say in what an owner/boss is choosing to do.

As someone who works in finance/credit let me give some advice. Never ever trust someone else to make payments on something that will impact your credit. Lesson learned for Ricky. Girl your dating cant get approved for a car loan without you co signing? By her a pair of sneakers or maybe a bike if youre feeling generous.

Bro the revive and Powell comparison is so off, revive is youtubers and not pro or core skaters selling boards and doing the cliche KZbinr corny voice and shit, while Powell is core and a classic skate brand with notable pros that then started KZbin - to reduce it to simply skaters doing KZbin is disingenuous

[@rickyglaser]

corny or not id recommended watching some vids of john hill and jonny giger skating there best, they are undeniably on the same level imo

[@隠れた]

@@rickyglaser to be fair I enjoy John hill and Giger’s skating and content, but I couldn’t get through revive videos, and I have tried - that’s not to say they don’t have a place in the skate world but as far as the comparison goes it’s a bit off

[@jsk8et]

It seems to me like the industry wants skaters to need the companies more than the companies need the skaters. The industry is only a certain size and production costs being what they are, I suspect most companies can’t afford to pay skaters what their draw is worth and if the skaters are making enough on their own, buying gear becomes a tax write-off and sponsorships become optional. If I’m right about that, the industry needs to (and somewhat appears to slowly be) moving toward symbiosis with its more popular or influential skaters. I think there’s room for the traditional approach along with the influencer approach, but it’ll always be in flux. That instability is rough on a business until they learn to read the waves, so to speak.

[@LukaszMielczarek]

that means whole industry is shitty. If the biggest brands can pay enough to skaters that mean that whole operation isn't worth anything

[@Unlockingparadoxes]

We can all prosper. Just believe in yourselves

Werd skateboarding culture is weird . I don’t know many of them but it seems the vibe is they are pretty much haters and don’t elevate each other .
