SKATEPARK VS DIY SKATE SPOT

Alameda, CA, is home to an extremely unique skatepark that is literally located on an old Naval Base! Today we went to do an official skatepark tour and realized that there is now a super sick DIY skate spot right outside the park. Today we find out if the professionally built skatepark is any better than a locally made do it yourself skate spot! Which would you rather skate?

I look forward to new Braille vids everyday. But after getting back from putting my dog down, I needed this. 13 minutes of distraction is better than nothing.

[@brailleskateboarding]

I’m sorry about the doggo, glad we could distract you a little

I also just had to put my dog down a month ago. But we have to move on. Even though you and I may not want to, we have to at one point😢😢😢

[@Mikeykys]

@@viet.fb1 i keep landing but sliding out, any tips?

[@viet.fb1]

@@Mikeykys my best tip is to try to stay as centered as you can, but I look a bit over my board so I'm not directly above it, so I can see what's around me but get that flick still.

[@not_gmlagoa1120]

Ngl u guys r the reason i started skating

[@zachhippskates1655]

Gabe: Have you been here before? Mo: never in my life… well actually

[@KeithSkates]

😂😂😂 I love Glo's whole vibe at the end.

[@caseycook2904]

Glo shut that rail down

[@SaltyE6]

If Nigel is referring to not wanting to go to the VA then i understand. My first appointment at the VA i went in for back pain and left with anti depressants.... True story.

[@brailleskateboarding]

Dang

[@hhaste]

I've heard so many horror stories about the VA, it's really a shame.

[@SaltyE6]

@@hhaste They have gotten better over the years but they are still lacking.

[@ageofgaslightenment]

I choose to pay for private insurance over going to the VA

[@bradfoster8146]

Gabe trying not to start cracking up at 11:40. 😂

[@javon478]

I'm 39 years old and you guys got me into skateboarding again. Thanks for the inspiration

Asking for a friend.. where’s McNug? I miss him

Nice

So true

You guys need to do a durability test on the new Air Jordan 4 SB’ pine greens

[@papa_da_engineer]

"There's a jet.... at the naval base..... right now" 🤣🤣💀💀

[@SteveO760]

I was stationed at NAS Alameda. Mythbusters were able to film there because most of it closed down in 1996 or 97.

[@CharlesAnthonyPhoto]

I gotchu Gabe, “Hey Nigel once we’re done here, Alamed-ya at the rail over there.”

[@SoapworthyProductions]

@9:33 that's my favorite obstacle! Rainbow Rail Ride-on Grind! HFY *BADASSERY*

[@tomtom420dsnut7]

GAB ? I was gonna ride with you to the park buy Ala-meda-you there!😂😂❤

[@thathemiguy]

Yes! Nigel called out Mustang drivers!!

[@brailleskateboarding]

Haha whats it mean?

[@thathemiguy]

@Braille Skateboarding Nigel already said it, they are annoying.

[@stephengrambsch4232]

You're just sad because your car doesn't sound awesome

[@thathemiguy]

@Stephen Grambsch not at all. My truck is cammed to the gills, so it sounds great.

[@daltonkirby]

I love that Nigel is a car guy and understands mustang guys...

[@8bar.s]

My uncle was the main guy who built/designed this park a long time ago. It may not live up to todays standards, but it was a dreamland back then

[@MrHobbi2]

game of skate on a crane LETS GO!

[@joshuaschmidinger3993]

I am DEFINITLY voting for game of skate on a crane 😆🤣👌 let's go! Glo be starting a fire yo 👏 Love braille 😎 ♥️

[@Cfk9561]

Glo"s been killing it these past few months!!

[@juddlaguma8091]

at the end,,Glo be on like Xgames mode

[@brailleskateboarding]

Totally

[@myfaceismyshield5963]

Just remember.. free health insurance is not free healthcare. Even the best health insurance in the US doesn't cover all of the healthcare fees. Some countries in Europe have free healthcare.. but no US state does, only free insurance.

dude it sounds so clean to

mustang, naval base, makes sense

[@iBroter]

That dust on the camera 🫨

[@Way2muchreality]

Sad for Mogley that he couldn't skate. I could tell he wanted to soooo bad. Like a kid in a candy store with no money. 😭

[@brailleskateboarding]

Hahaha totally

[@adenanonthysene]

what happened to him?

[@Jax49]

@@adenanonthysene not sure, but his hand was in a medical pouch few videos back

[@ryanrowe1975]

Great skatepark

[@mitrimccracken1996]

Glos so much butter then Nigel.. They should play a game of skate, flat ground or obstacle..

[@mitrimccracken1996]

Nigel complains more then he skates.. Glo just shreds..😊

[@hhaste]

@@mitrimccracken1996 I think Nigel just does that for the camera. If they both tried their hardest, Nigel would come out on top as the winner. I've seen Nigel do way crazier stuff in past videos, like any late flip trick. In a game of skate I also think Nigel would be more consistent at landing stuff, so that's another reason I think he'd win.. but at the end of the day it doesn't really matter who's better.

[@mitrimccracken1996]

Nigel would not beat glo

[@brailleskateboarding]

How about they go head to head with a VS episode?

[@shamuslockey]

They should Alameda there again sometime

[@tjp7154]

Beautiful, Glo!

[@matticusrenwood]

If I ever go there, alameda few skaters

[@Nott_Vermeen]

Glo closing it out with style.

[@davidfiechuk2432]

Hey Gabe your pun that you're looking for is "Nigel, Alameda you there"

[@michaelojeda5587]

Nah tell me why i started learning like 3 weeks ago and I’ve somehow missed the day they went to my skatepark 😭😭

[@jaktucker777]

Once again Glo has the best looking feebles and smiths ever!

[@tadashiyoshida3674]

Did you guys bring a broom?

[@knasstn8155]

Y’all should take off the rollers on the roller board and attach to some 2x4’s to make “world’s first roller rail”!……

[@BenzaBum]

I watch this while I skate so I don’t feel alone 😂 Just me 🤷‍♂️

[@neilbasque460]

Where is mcnug may I ask? please and thank you I enjoy his wheelie board talents as well!

[@brailleskateboarding]

He is taking time off to spend time with his family and re-set.

[@toastybastard9559]

I just wanna know if this was on a naval base

[@brailleskateboarding]

It is yes

[@Caleb117Littlejohn]

Glo's on one!!!

"What is it?" Beautiful, Gabe.. beautiful.

shoutout to the mythbusters

[@karatantvtone3001]

My skateboard's wheels dont turn very well, what should i do? And also they dont roll very long.

[@CharlesAnthonyPhoto]

Sounds like you need new bearings?

[@Christianbois71704]

Hey u guys probably Won’t respond but I’ve been working on kickflips for the passed 4 months I was going to see if we could chat about it

[@Christianbois71704]

Alright thanks talk soon

[@StephanCzajkowski]

i think alameda do that trick again

[@danielsaltvick]

You guys need a sub par skater to get the perspective of someone who can only kick flip 1 in 25 times. So I can connect with a member of the B team.

[@truman1972]

Does Nigel have a setting that's not 11?

[@brailleskateboarding]

12?

[@JoeTolle]

I learned that there is a jet at the Naval base 🤝I can rest now

[@Keze13]

So glad someone else shares my opinion on (*most*) Mustang drivers. Its just a cookie-cutter, dime-a-dozen "cool kid" car nowadays....

[@Keze13]

Same can be said for Camaro, Charger, and Challenger drivers too... 😂😂... I cant just pick on one. LMAO

[@REZZY_41st]

How manny times did Nigel say NaVaL BaSe

Where is McNugget?!

Nigel's right Mustangs are almost as bad as BMWs... Almost

[@Dirk_Mcgurk]

you can hear and see how slow the concrete is

[@brailleskateboarding]

Ya its no bueno

[@Dirk_Mcgurk]

i assume the diy was put on asphalt that was already there for parking and what not

[@brailleskateboarding]

Ya not sure actually

[@lanceoverland8143]

I wonder what it would take for a broke old skater (I'm 32 and battle worn lol) to meet y'all and skate the braille house just once

[@brailleskateboarding]

We open it up every Wednesday and Saturday for fans to come and skate. You can sign up on our website.

[@Kyle_Spivis]

If I see someone land a trick in this video I’ll go out and exercise on my longboard today.

[@brailleskateboarding]

Deal

A naval base in Alameda? Is it a base that keeps the nuclear wessels?
