This is a great video. I'm new to Judo and Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and I'm loving this. I just came across your videos and they've helped a lot. I wish I still lived in NYC!
I'm trying to learn the terminology, but I am wondering why this is called de ashi barai instead of okuri ashi barai?

DeAshi Harai is the Advancing Foot Sweep, Okuri Ashi Harai is sweeping both feet. It is a testament to the Japanese' attention to detail to have a very different name for something slightly different

@seanpsutton Just as 'O' can mean 'Major' 'Larger' it can also mean 'Greator', 'Okuri' can also be looked at as 'Sending' as you are 'Sending' one of Uke's feet (Ashi) into the other

Remember that English has a VERY complex vocabulary, while the Japanese make things simpler by using fewer words with different meanings depending on context
