This Skate Park Was SO HARD to Skate!

We took a trip to the Plata Arroyo Skatepark in San Jose, California and quickly realized that this skate park is pretty difficult to skate! Luckily we're the Braille Skate team and we can skate on anything!

Gabe I want to see you skate more this year and possibly drop in if not drop in, skate the mini ramp lol

[@madboy5686]

will never happen gabe isn’t confident like that 😂😝🤘🏻

[@geodude6244]

Gabe's the boss which means he gets exorbitant amounts of money while everyone who actually skates gets pennies

[@mikeo609]

@@geodude6244you got proof that he gets exorbitant amounts of money? I don’t think braille makes a lot of money in general anymore.

[@IAMEYI]

Goodluck with that wish/request. We been hoping for that going on almost 4 yrs of watching Braille. Wanna know something CRAZY!? I made Gabe on Skate 3 and I had to delete him because he wouldn't even drop in on the game. 😂😂😂

[@bugginout7973]

Love this one JD and Rick shredding together is always my favorite

[@tigersbaseball1989]

This park looked sick! JD was vibin!

[@brailleskateboarding]

Thanks!

[@sugamanspodcast]

Gabe, you gotta face your fears of dropping in, once u get it down, you will love it!!

[@brailleskateboarding]

True

[@flyingferron]

I love unique and creative parks like this because a big part of what makes skating fun to me is coming up with lines and finding a flow that's unique to you, I would totally love to skate this and see what I can come up with. Also, watching JD is so sick and he's really grown on me especially as he's getting older. He's def gonna be a legend and one of the best in history if he keeps it up!

[@Crossfirepyro2]

Nice🔥🔥

[@dieseldabz7104]

Rip to all the homies from the park. Hella happy you guys skated it🍻

JD being on that mural is awesome!

That was an awesome intro with JD in the mural 😂

[@Fraven85]

dayum. JD and Ricky was the power-bros of this one. they rly went "hard to skate? naw. more fun you mean!"

[@brailleskateboarding]

Thanks

[@JustinTurdoCastro420]

Yo I love you peeps, been a viewer off and on for years. I feel people don't realize the true vaule of these videos. I watch these videos to hang out with the Braille Crew. It's not for the quality but for the company! Much love from Canada! a Dream of mine is to go shred the Braille park the best of my abilities lol!

[@andrewmorley4288]

Definitely do more stuff like this.. the weird boards that aren’t skateboards is getting a bit tired I think one every once in a while is fine but it’s like everyday there’s some kind of unskateable thing that just seems like some one’s going to break an ankle on.. I think most people just want to see you guys skating and especially you Gabe! And I forget his name but I would love to see your camera man’s progression with his kick flip… let’s do it!

[@joshuaschmidinger3993]

Love this for so many reasons. It has all you guys shredding and doing some gnarly stuff, has an 80's/90's skate vibe and nice filming...and of course a JD mural(was a boss, a humble talent)love braille ❤ do more of this full time, it has alot of heart.

[@realspaceratXIII]

yes, i love jd’s skating

[@iHeart_TranceMusic]

I've skated this park hecka times. I learned how to drop in on the deep end of the peanut bowl. I love this park. Best park ever. I'm a local.

[@luisalmeida3202]

I literally grew up a block down the street, from this park when it was Being Newly Built, on Bash Ave. If ya know. Ya know. Went to Independence Highschool, and hit the park everyday after school. Had the 711 about a block down the street for refreshments and snacks, occasional shoulder tap drinks from trusted sources😅. Greatest times in Essj.

[@EchoTheAiAndMe]

Love to see the team outdoors!

[@monkklages2169]

Im a 50 year old dude from Pittsburgh Pa.I have been watching you guys for years now.I skated for my local skate shop in the mid 80s to early 90s both street and vert but there wasnt many tricks invented back then like today. I use to launch over cars on a 2 foot vert launch ramp we made doing judos,methed airs, supermans, and airwalks.Can i have one request? I would like to see JD do a nice old school Airwalk off somekind of vert,you do get to see dudes do them anymore. Natas style Jd ❤ thanks bro

[@gstylin3834]

I am glad riki is still on the team I feel he is the only 1 that is really pushing JD skill wise always coo to watch them shred together. I feel like Dan needs to be excited for something again he seems really bored and not present I wonder if he burnt out already but it shows.

[@alexisalvarado8968]

He does always seem burnt out he’s got potential tho if he put in more effort

[@auralxtc]

2024 needs to be the year of the Gabe Cruz drop in.

[@jasminewatson5723]

nice and seems chilled video Braille

[@Moyatherapper]

We need to see gabe shred something! Film a 2024 part with drop in as the final clip 😂😂

[@brailleskateboarding]

[@AnuViation]

Lethbridge Alberta Canada has a skatepark with steeper hubbas and a bowl that is almost unskateable.

[@Skatelife1717]

Love braille skateboarding

[@jamesclarke2388]

Gabe, JD and Rick carryimg this channel

[@gstylin3834]

I agree with you ever since Mogley & Mc Nug bounced the moral looks low I almost forgot Dan was even in this video. JD and Riki are always fun to watch and like you said without them I dunno AK needs to get back on here and breath some life into the channel again

I don’t know what it is , but I never liked skateparks with graffiti all over them , it dose something to my psyche like I can do anything , I rode BMX back when I was a kid & I couldn’t ride right on graffitied up places , it just felt weird & I couldn’t ride half pipes or big ramps like that at night , I always would reck or get recked first try every time no matter what , just couldn’t do it . Black sky above , I stayed away from big ramps & graffiti .

[@Freeskate_42]

I’m second keep it going

[@FauxKingChrist666]

Parks you still need to try in the North Bay: 1) Town Park in Corte Madera 2) Memorial Skatepark in San Anselmo, took years of fighting with the town to make this park 3) Fairfax Skatepark, locally funded, best ice cream ever, Scoop, (cash only) is right around the corner. There is also an incredible curved ledge/manny pad on the way to the next park, I'd prefer to DM or email someone the specific location though. 4) Lagunitas Skatepark in Lagunitas, brand new, where Lagunitas Brewing started 5) Mesa Park in Bolinas, the locals take the signs down into Bolinas to keep tourists out. 6) Novato Skatepark in Novato, bring JD 7) Petaluma Skatepark, super old, I was skating it back in 1997, a new park is supposedly planned to break ground this summer. 8) Phoenix Theater in Petaluma, diy/non-profit 9) Skategarden Park in Sebastapol, bring JD 10) Creekside Skatepark in Monte Rio, along the Russian River. 11) Bayer Skatepark in Santa Rosa 12) Youth Community Park in Santa Rosa, it's where Tony "TNT" Trujillo started and I think still calls his local, possibly one of the oldest parks in the Bay. 13) Pat Elsbree Skate Park in Windsor 14) Carson Warner Memorial Skatepark in Healdsburg I'd totally be down to show you guys around the North Bay. The South Bay extends as far down as Gilroy: 1) Las Animas Skateboard Park in Gilroy 2) Morgan Hill Skateboard Park 3) Campbell Skatepark (I feel like this may have been missed) There are maybe more in the South Bay/Peninsula that have been missed, but I'm unsure. I can't find Antioch, American Canyon, and Wardlaw (Vallejo) hit up? If you wanna go Greater Bay Area, hit up Hollister, Ukiah Skate Park, Willits Skatepark, Kelseyville Community Skatepark, Clearlake Skate Park, and the 4 south of Salinas on 101. I spent way too long on this lol, so hit up these parks!

Great list! We’ve been to memorial before and wanted to go to town park but it’s kinda sketchy. My friends got their van broken into and got ran over and broke his leg. I’ll send this to Gabe!
