Skating the Encanto 18 Stair!? Feat. Tommy Sandoval and Ed Duff - Spot History Ep. 15

This week we head over to the Encanto 18 Stair to see how crazy this spot is in person. A lot of gnarly rail skating has gone down here and we get to talk to Tommy Sandoval and Ed Duff who has both gotten a couple tricks down it. Then at the end of the history lesson, Kanaan tries to conquer the rail himself.

[@matz4k]

You should print qr codes to your videos and leave them somewhere near the spot. Kinda cool to know what went down when visiting

[@non_brewed_condiment]

Such a good idea

[@DernBrothers]

I really like this idea!

[@sk360flip]

Fucking genius

[@williamfloyd9024]

Damn this is a really good idea.

[@559]

Good idea but also might get some spots shut down

[@FabledCity]

The most well deserved Chipotle run in modern history!

[@superwalt2159]

what do you even order after that? just like a tub of sour cream and fist fulls of beans?

[@itmightgetdark]

dern bros formula is seriously next level: go to gnarliest spots, talk about how gnarly they are and all the gnarliest tricks that have gone down, then proceed to get gnarly on the spot. these boys can't lose!

[@RC.13]

gnarly

[@itmightgetdark]

@@RC.13 you're gnarly!!!

[@fomobros2207]

That’s crazy a back 5050 just for us Dern viewers, great skating and great history lesson

[@allstopblue5717]

I really didn’t think he was gonna try to skate it for some reason. I started getting hype after the first try.

[@wotceseriescollector]

right! i was not expecting that!

[@pauliewalnuts5241]

💯 💯

[@Purpmaster]

I was expecting it, they rip for these YT videos. They go above and beyond most channels.

[@NittyGritty420]

Awesome he did it for the channel. Most skaters would save that clip for a part.

[@martinmoke9451]

It’s crazy Tommy was trying to hurry up and get a back blunt down an 18 so he could go pick up his daughter, absolute legend

[@jjcoola998]

Beast!

[@mattro7107]

Rad dad fr!

[@BGraves]

high and on mushrooms

[@segafrog]

Kanaan you're one hell of a skater!

[@mendaciousreality8459]

No need for blasphemy

[@Nollie_Fullcab]

The fact that kanaan 50'd the rail at the end of the video is why you guys are the best

[@rickeykoga2312]

The skate history: 10/10 The interviews: 10/10 The editing: 10/10 The back 50: 50/10

[@donnysmoke]

The interview portions are getting better and better. Thx for all that u folks do!

[@EDCsteals]

Yeah it’s sick to see their channel starting to get some real traction. Now that they have interviews with people who have done the most well known/ hardest trick down these spots that are famous in skateboarding I feel like the channel is gonna start gaining subs a lot quicker

[@mrtrick8805]

Really cool learning about the backstory to the tricks it’s why I used to watch the nine club a lot

[@mrsickwick]

I watch ALOT of KZbin (way too much honestly) so believe me when I say this. This series is one of the best on this platform without a doubt. You guys just keep killin it!

[@bacterialben]

This n king of the road oh and love letters! Make me wanna go out fukin shred!!!

[@DazedCutty]

These videos are soooo sick! I was not expecting Kanaan to fuckin back 50 it! What a beast! Love seeing brothers hype each other up! Hope you guys had a very Merry Christmas ❤

[@markvincent522]

I've only ever skated enough to know how goddamn hard it is, but this is my favorite channel. I grew up in a place with terrible concrete and dirt roads, so I ended up riding BMX. I still think skateboarding is pretty much the hardest physical thing a human can do at a high level, so you guys make me proud to be human.

[@jptothetree]

4:40 Definitely blame Colby Raha for breaking this rail lol

[@raha]

Lol I could see why you would blame that on me. But I only committed to grinding it one time and it worked out the first try and I left. It didn’t break when I grinded it. You can see it not move in the vid. I’m guessing it just rusted out from sprinklers or some sh*t and just fell apart. Idk man!

[@jptothetree]

Holy shit! You responded! I'm a big fan bro 🤩@@raha

[@turbocateyeS475]

​@@rahaRaha in the dern bros comments is legendary. Gnarliest motherfucker on 2 wheels! Praying for another Real Moto part!

[@non_brewed_condiment]

​@@raha the way it's all warped like is definitely because of age and the foundation rather than one impact. If a dirtbike does damage I don't think it'll be subtle

[@mrtrick8805]

Picking up your daughter after landing a heavy ass trick like that is hilarious. Big props to Tommy

[@whitewidow3762]

Dear Dern Bros, I have been skating for 26 years and this is one of the best Skateboarding channels I have come across on KZbin. The amount of history you provide on skate spots is brilliant as you expose skaters I have never heard of, and provide nothing but awesome information from head to toe. At the rate you're going, "The Dern Brothers "KZbin Channel will be as big as "Braille Skateboarding", "ThrasherMagazine" or even "The Berrics". Once this channel starts gaining more subscribers and revenue, I hope the Dern Bros start traveling the world and exhibit global skate spots. I would love to see the Dern Bros in Lyon France giving a feature on the "The Lyon 25 Staircase". I am sure you can get Jaws, Ali Boulala and even feature "Dom Tomato '' the Parkour stuntman who did a flip down the staircase. The possibilities are endless for this channel and you really have a huge nugget of gold with your skateboarding content. I have to give credit when due and the Dern Brothers are absolute winners and will be one of the biggest skate channels here on KZbin. Save my comment, it will age like fine wine. The Dern Bros currently have 72 thousand subscribers as I write this review on 1/6/2024 - White Widow

[@Miigz]

First time I smoked weed was with tommy sandoval at the deli next to hilltop middle he was in a limo like in 2009. Dudes rad

[@tobysmith5661]

I don’t see dude in a limo

[@Jimberley]

Heck yes Kanan! You guys really put the work in for these, truly is the best skateboarding content on YT. Thank you! Ps: How has Foy never got clips on this thing?

[@fteej7861]

Front Crook easy clip for him haha

[@jaclynfindlay8805]

That was so fucking sick! i don't see any other spot history videos skate the spot! let alone add one more NBD! Cant wait for the next

[@jakes.5143]

Damn dudes! It was like 2 weeks ago it felt like when I commented saying congrats on 40k. Now you’re almost at 70! You guys deserve it!! YEEWWW!!!

[@DernBrothers]

🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@Steezo_Romero]

Someone wellness check on Duff.

[@danthegeetarman]

The spot history part was already worth it but that cool ending getting the 50-50 was a nice icing on the cake!! 🤘🤘

[@ryanparker6095]

“It’s cause this rock was right here” haha love you guys keep posting these super awesome and fun videos

[@turbocateyeS475]

Ive been skating heavy for 23ish years and Raha still has the gnarliest trick done on this. Beyond hyped you included him! Also stoked for any Tommy cameo! Also calling it now, this will be the biggest skateboarding channel on youtube this year! Yall go above and beyond every time

[@keithkrahn9470]

Keep these segments up! It’s so awesome to see the progress of skateboarding through these historic spots and moments in skateboarding! Beautiful! Especially all the stories behind a 5 second clip! Amazing

[@johneapleseed6876]

Best show in post TV history. You cats are the frickin beez kneez yo

[@rabajdajr3001]

Duffer still recovering from that broken leg? got his fentanyl going strong it looks

[@jamesmeridith8875]

Was kinda thinking he looked like a sound cloud rapper these days

[@rabajdajr3001]

@@jamesmeridith8875 I mean bam was living with him all summer soooo who knows

[@jtakata87]

Dang that’s a bummer. I was thinking the same things

[@mr.thammisses6119]

Thank heavens a new skate history episode. I love these vids. They only keep getting better.

[@StefanCy27]

Love this series! Greetings from Germany guys😎🤙🏻

[@DoctrineParadox_PhilipJWalls]

🤣 "I should probably just go for it, cuz... that's stupid" best sound bite ever

[@eljermo]

I got nervous when you said you had new trucks. You guys are the shit Kanaan is gnar for doing that back 50 good God

[@tunelowplayslow5623]

This needs to be the next Thrasher Bust or Bail spot.

[@Sameoldage]

I enjoy the shit out of these videos every week boys, gives me something to look forward to

[@princequestly2218]

You guys are killing it with these episodes. So good!

[@shiftnative]

I'm APPALLED at how little views this has considering the context.. in my opinion these videos are some of the most important videos to be made about skateboarding in a long time.. there is so much history at these spots and its really cool to see them from different perspectives - thank you for these

[@ChadYourDad]

FINALLY!! I’ve been waiting forever for the next episode!! Let’s go!!

[@Vintagevatotattoos]

DERN BROS RULES!! man y'all are too legit love this channel my new favorite🤟🏽

[@casmoneansthefourth]

On his completion, that first ollie looked wonderful. Btw, Gonz, I hope youre glad about what you started.

[@Kickflip.s]

One of the best skate series on KZbin. Thank you guys. Skating it at the end is always crazy.

[@ZxFALLENsK8rxZ]

Epic stuff Dern Bros! Love these vids

[@clarkh3314]

I love you guys. Im going to say it that this is amazing bonafide journalism/historical skateboarding content. Destin doing the interviews really makes this next level since it makes the legends and the spot more relatable. Fuckin love u guys

[@obeejimi3661]

Dude this series is so bad ass!! It’s killer that they actually go to the spots and sometimes even skate them! Good work boys keep it up!!!

[@randylahey8207]

You guys rule. Amazing content, and Chipotle at the end..😂😂

[@justinbishop7142]

Omg I love these so much. I’m in a group counseling session and about to watch with no volume then re watch when I leave 🧡🧡

[@thelocal0170]

Just recently found this channel, so glad I did the skate spot history has become my favourite series the style of content is awesome you don’t seem to get bored 💯✌️

[@awguitarroom8033]

You guys have become a huge inspiration to skateboarding. Please don't stop being yourselves

[@3rvn063]

WTF is one of the best skate movies ever, you can tell by the amount of times it have appeared on Spot history, so much gnarly, and classic spots.

[@Crcmvnt]

You guys are awesome. Love the content! Thanks for all you do. Shred on fellow Floridians!

[@SuperPoweredGopher]

No shit! I live a mile from here and never knew it was such a piece of skate history. Thanks Dern Bros!

[@informanti]

Damn Kanaan that was so sick! Gnarly stuff 💪 Chipotle is the ultimate motivator 😂

[@g0rgth3b0rg]

you literally had to dig the beanie out of the dirt after a gnarly fall 🤣

[@lickarcade]

That roll away was great to see. I know that victory Chipotle was tasting ridiculous.

[@gooseallie4417]

Best KZbin channel! These are so epic. The interviews make it so good. Rincon next

[@kp905]

Great job on these vids. love that you guys us are doing these kinda topics. That back 50 was nuts.

[@sirchief785]

BEASTS! I feel blessed watching them skate these spots and pay homage to abd's and who did what. It's also really cool seeing these spots like this and what the landscape around is because these famous spots never seem to look like it does in videos

[@haroldcampos9661]

This series is much needed! I watched a lot of skate videos in my teenage years, and being from florida, you only recognize a miniscule portion of the spots. We used to point out spots down here too. By my house is a hospital called palmetto that has a 9 stair with a square blue handrail. It’s come out in videos! There’s also the nmb hubba. And there was these wallride things and I think a spot call Ramco. Which had another hubba. It’s the tile stairs with a bright red handrail in the middle. Which has been removed I think.

[@johnevans248]

i filmed that Cole Wilson clip!

[@DernBrothers]

🙌🙌🙌

[@nostalgic_pokemon_memories]

Thats awesome the rail is still skateable! So many amazing tricks down that rail!

[@johneburke1]

Years ago I went to cali on vacation.. I tried board sliding this probably 20 times. I could never stick it. Cool to see it on your channel

[@Thurston86]

Hell Yeah Dudes! Keep these coming! F’ing Love Spot/trick History! 🤘👽👽👽

[@Manolitourigueler]

Holy smokes , the end is gnarly

[@JakeShunt]

Nothing like a coffee and spot history to start your day 😎 best series!

[@TheGhostOfFredZeppelin]

23:10 You could tell he was feeling it with that little shifty before jumping on the rail

[@skate_or_dylen2176]

Skating might need this, in the direction it’s going… More “popular” than “unpopular” nowadays! Who remembers when skaters weren’t cool? Who remembers when skating meant you were absolutely NOT the cool kid. Kind of a breath of fresh air seeing the youth movement in skating rn. We are kind of getting to live through these kids, who don’t know anything else but to stand on a skateboard. What a crazy world we are living in. Do you remember fighting our parents to get a board? These kids are getting boards from their parents, without even wanting them. Let alone the history. Anyone born after 2006 is going to think of skating as an Olympic sport. IMAGINE. Imagine growing up in THIS world, WITH a skateboard. Oversaturated might not be the word, but…. #oversaturated

[@rodskt100]

Kanaan is so gnarly!!! 🔨

[@johnhutsler8122]

It's sick that these dudes actually hit up a lot of the spots they cover - Gnarly spots too! Legit

[@boriscastillo8860]

Im from San Diego and I was so clueless of its legendary skateboarding history. Thanks for this epic content bros never been so intrigued watching your videos! keep it up i think there's some more spots yall haven't hit.

[@NickBoserio]

I back 50’d it :)

[@dannyblitz2122]

So hyped to skate now, you guys rule!

[@fuckoff1237]

[@michaelmcgraw4888]

It’s one thing to report on the spot but actually hitting the rail take these videos to the next level

[@christophervargas5112]

Simply amazing!

[@shopliftfilms]

The hosts doing the rail is wild lol. Great stuff!

Still asking that the VX footy be kept in 4:3 😞

[@android2859]

Your 50 at the end was dope dood ! You're beast !

[@TheAlmightyBracket]

I just recently came across these videos. It's really interesting, I wasn't sure I'd like it, but finding an episode where the spot is still skateable is pretty legit.

[@rustypotatos]

8:50 ya bro I’ll come and watch anytime lmaoooo you are cracked bro that’s insane

Bad ass! Best skate content on YT rt now.
