I really appreciate John's candor in speaking openly about his experiences in the skate industry. I'm continually baffled by the "core skate industries" intransigence in recognizing "youtube skaters." In my eyes what Revive has done is similar to what World Industries did in the 80's: create a new scene on their own terms without permission from the big dogs. For the "core skate industry" to intentionally ignore "youtube skaters" is to only hurt themselves as they are intentionally ignoring one of the largest, modern-movements in the skateboarding market place.
@@caolan8u336 but if that is the only way he can do the trick then it would be regular to me. I get both sides but it's just an interesting point to me. If there is one one way you can do a trick then that would be your regular. The hard or opposite than comfortable would be your switch.
@@modest1989 there is a guy like that who skates street goofy and transition regular, I forget his name but if you look up "thrasher: the man with no stance" you'll probably find it
Can't remember how many times I watched 411VM #27 when I was younger. I still go back and watch it regularly on youtube, even though a lot of the parts are muted due to copyright.
I just want to say that I think it's really rad that all different kinds of people are skateboarding nowadays. It's always been kinda that way but now everyone is exposed to it and sees how much each person actually loves skating as much as you.
Who cares what people or the industry thinks. You guys are successful and did it in a different way and never lost site of who you are and your love for skateboarding. I'm grateful for what you both do and love the creativity!
South Cacalaca in the house! I bounce back b/t the lowcountry and upstate but Columbia has some dope spots and the park is rad. This was really awesome to listen to. Aarons laugh cracks me up everytime. Stay Golden fellas.
This should be on its own channel FOR SURE. But with all of braille, like they should all be mic'd and just have a whole conversation together, like a couple of guys hanging out telling stories and just being friends. On its own channel every week or two I would definitely make it my frequent listen.
As somebody who recently got back into skateboarding after not paying attention to it for 7 years, I don't understand how anybody in the industry can't appreciate these guys and other youtube skaters are doing for the culture.
Ollie is def a standard for 1st trick, but my 2nd trick was an inward pop-shuvit over a 1 ft curb with a 2ft drop on the other side which was after 3 months of skating on weekends around 12yo. My friend Thomas and I had our ollie's on point, we were under the impression that tricks are only tricks when done while riding, so we focused on being super consistent with ollie's up and down a pavement and being well balance on our boards first. - (mainly because we believed that a trick is only a trick when you're moving. Also because skateboarded EVERYWHERE, we had few skateparks in our country back then and the ones we had were extremely far from our town so you kinda dont wanna need to stop and pick up your board when skateboarding is your transport) I also had a really cheap board from a "Wallmart" in my country and im pretty sure my back truck was put on skew which made the board pop inward on the tail and after we landed a few ollies over the gap between MANY attempts, my friend Thomas said "Dude about 8/10 of the ones you don't land are doing an inward pop-shuvit so try focus on that, maybe lean back to keep it under you or jump more upright but Im sure you almost 50% there" then he shrugged.. and we was right.. i leaned back, intended the shuvit after the pop, and it worked. i landed with one foot 3 times and then landed twice with both feet but ran off from wheel bite, got it on 6TH TRYYYYY. His first trick was a heelflip off the same gap but it took a few more attempts, but for the same reason. His ollie bails were mostly flipping heel side. The point of this story is to show that as a beginner, you might have some strengths to do a certain trick where you see a "weakness" in trying a different trick which could help you land your 2nd trick simply because it suits your muscle memory. My 3rd trick was a frontside 180 and then 4th trick was frontside 180 into fakie nose manual. I could frontside 180 to nose manual (avg 3m to 4m) before i could kickflip. I also skate mongo so i learnt how to 1 foot manual over 50m before i could kickflip.. So i agree about the kickflip not needing to be the "standard" 2nds trick of skating progression, even though before that we both believed that was the way. DONT LET THE KICKFLIP BE A BARRIER!!!
since quarantine has happened I have seen so much more new skaters and i'm from England, so it really is becoming more popular more then ever I believe.
Hi my name is Aaron Kyro and I am a very special guest from the San Francisco Bay area Also it doesn't matter what got you into skateboarding. What matters is that you got into skateboarding.
There’s time I dream of making a highlight/ comedy skit like movie for a group of skateboarders. Because there’s jokes and things that happen only boarders understand. But to make a solid movie to throw on RUclips for free would be dope. Make one per season or every 6 months. And just promote it like crazy with different styles and states involved.
Idk why I just got very intrigued by transition before flat ground. So currently I have rock to fakie and rock n rolls on lock and im going for axle stalls, yet I can barely kickflip. Ive landed two on grass that's it. Idk if that's odd tbh
gotta ask.. why was this made private shortly after uploading it? i know this because iget notifications on my phone and ill hop on my pc to watch and it was gone very shortly after uploading it.
On this podcast You guys should make like a timeline of when you guys learned tricks and what tricks you can do once you got your first sponsor. How much you guys skateboarded daily,
you should do one with Aaron and Andy Anderson, One with Aaron and Ricky Glaser, definitely one with Gabe and Aaron. and one with Aaron and Will Smith. and have JD Sanchez teach Will Smith How to skateboard in a separate video.
You guys should paint the wooden railing up there behind the podcasters. Maybe the signature blue or the light grey? Maybe black? I think it would look even more official :)
i started skating when i was 10. had a mongoose skateboard from walmart. got an ollie pretty quick. bailed a lot. shuv it took like 5 minutes. the kickflip took a few hours because i was lucky af. i skate for fun though. im in cyber for work.
I know what 411 is, but I’m also almost thirty, so there’s prolly some connection between that and the knowledge of older skateboarding 🛹 😅 Kinda On topic, my first skate video I watched was the toy machine jump off a building video, and I had a big heart for toy machine 😅! my first deck wound up being a toy machine deck, because of my uncle watching that skate video, and I fell in love with it ! Tho I wound up having my fave skate video as baker has a deathwish, because I was at a spot where they were filming and you could see baby-me in the back ground 😅
Braille and Progress Daily need to find a way to bring in more girl skaters and be more supportive of girls who want to shred but are afraid because "skating is for boys".
Honestly, I think it makes perfect sense John Hill vibed better with people like Jason Park and Richie Jackson, instead of more(?) 'core' skaters that would stab each other in the back given the opportunity really.

This is dope. Would love to see more Braiile Drop Podcasts.
Ps Love the red revive decks. It seems so hard to find a total red deck setup.
his lips and shirt match
Dafuuuuq haha
😂😂😂🛹
Oh my gosh its true dude
LMAO, for some reason pink lips remind me of uh... Mr garrisons .."friend" in leather from Southpark
*only facial lips..

Tbh the "youtube scene" is what made me skate again😂

John is such a chill guy. You should try to get Luis Mora on the show
"They definitely care about skateboarding more than I've ever seen"
Aaron Kyro right next to him:
Was thinking the same thing haha
It made me happy to...this is real skate
how tf is John almost 30, dude looks like he's 23
he probs never does drugs
@@lhssnare9934 🤣😂🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Black Don’t Crack & Asian Don’t Raisin
@@lhssnare9934 theres more stuff then drugs in our daily life that do the same though :)
When you guys said “when they can’t kickflip they always have switch flips” I felt personally called out 😂
If you can only do it in one stance is it still switch? Hhmmm
@@modest1989 well if he rides regular and does goofy flips, then it's switch
@@caolan8u336 but if that is the only way he can do the trick then it would be regular to me. I get both sides but it's just an interesting point to me. If there is one one way you can do a trick then that would be your regular. The hard or opposite than comfortable would be your switch.
@@modest1989 there is a guy like that who skates street goofy and transition regular, I forget his name but if you look up "thrasher: the man with no stance" you'll probably find it
Haha whats up noah!
5:27 literally me.
Sup Dale! I met u @ pharmacy on go skate day!
I want a Vinnie Banh episode and a Carlos episode 🔥
Can't remember how many times I watched 411VM #27 when I was younger. I still go back and watch it regularly on youtube, even though a lot of the parts are muted due to copyright.
Super cool interview, reminded me of the old Braille days, Aaron and John joking around at the park and filming for pure joy and entertainment
I’ve been skating for 2 years and I haven’t learned a kick flip yet, keep your head up everyone
Update?
I suggest looking at your board during the kickflip, tho.
@@sethtrey got into skating again and figured out i wasn’t motivated so i wasn’t trying but now i’m motivated and learned it rly well
Brooo me tooo
I just learned Kickflips at 30 after skating for 24 years. I literally just never did flip tricks.
These are the two most wholesome people in the skate community
31:23 - 34:00 amazing conversation content to advise the youth.
411 video magazine was AMAZING!! The opening music is iconic. Brings back soooo many memories.
I got into skating with tony hawk pro skater 4. Love you guys keep skating
I really enjoyed this video, soo sick to hear this story’s coming from an inside perspective of the skate industry. Please keep this series going!
U just gotta love the love they giving. They seem as such nice people.
The fact that theres a "skate school" is in-sane. Lotta love to u guys💕
You both inspire me so much, this has been wicked to listen to the past couple of days while rockin some dishes before heading out with my board
when i first saw braille it was aaron and john hill and garret ginner with lance still behind the camera.

Awesome. Love John Hill!!
4:14 omg i just commented on Aaron's IG a few days ago asking for kickflip help and that was my exact issue and he told me the exact thing John said
Yess more skateboarding podcasts please!
i already listened to this twice on spotify, im having deja vu right now
Awesome interview!!
411vm issue 11 was my 1st vid. Later I got in a 411vm issue with Visalia 98’. Great issues!
Bring back the Braille Podcasts 💯

Progress daily wasn't even in the description 😂😂😂🤣
his ig is basically the same since it has all of his links not just the channel
It was a joke🤦♂️
@@隠れた花 😂😂
Clayton Tucker lol no this is grimmy. They should’ve at least linked his RUclips page
I have enjoyed this soooo much! Thank you for this 🙏🙏🙏🙏
you should really name it braille dropcast
but awesome format, how come I never realized it existed

Excellent Interview guys, very enjoyable, sorry I meant Podcast 🛹🎤👍👍

Hyped on the next episode
Imma buy a revive board next time but I love my powell peralta deck

Please do a podcast with Andy Schrock, that would be amazing!
Imma just stream this to my TV since its so long😂
Do we get a Zenu graphic ?
411vm...it brinigs me back some of my teen moments...
Cant wait for that app!
I remember 411 magazine the business started to shut down when I found out about them so I never actually got one + i was like 12
I learned nollie when i was 12 on a borrowed board and that was the only trick i knew till 31 xD now i know how to Ollie and it took me 2 years
I like john. He's awesome
Can braille skateboarding have a talk show because this is very interesting 😅
Bring back the classic skate vid parts!
John hill was never core.
Idk why I just got very intrigued by transition before flat ground. So currently I have rock to fakie and rock n rolls on lock and im going for axle stalls, yet I can barely kickflip. Ive landed two on grass that's it. Idk if that's odd tbh
I got arrested at Columbiana Mall in Columbia SC😂. Not from there just got arrested there
😂😜 Gahahahaha that's fkn insane dudeee
gotta ask.. why was this made private shortly after uploading it? i know this because iget notifications on my phone and ill hop on my pc to watch and it was gone very shortly after uploading it.
I was thinking the same thing got the notifications then boom private.
they forgot to make their lips more pink
john from my hometown he used to be in this group red hatchet
Great interview 👍.
I remember my 1st skate vid i saw was Baker has a Deathwish
On this podcast You guys should make like a timeline of when you guys learned tricks and what tricks you can do once you got your first sponsor. How much you guys skateboarded daily,
my skate shops have premieres still
Are u guys gonna have this on spotify podcast
this vid is posted way way after the spotify release
Ooooo they made one with Raymond Warner nd will cortez
23:10 yeah but spencer literally only skates curbs these days lol. hes very chill and low impact
46:36 John Hill: Not Hazing....goes on to describe super toxic levels of legit hate
This was so cool to listen to
we still have squad premiers in the Netherlands! sad to hear that tradition is dieing out over there
you should do one with Aaron and Andy Anderson, One with Aaron and Ricky Glaser, definitely one with Gabe and Aaron. and one with Aaron and Will Smith. and have JD Sanchez teach Will Smith How to skateboard in a separate video.
Love it!
Who cares why, who cares who. Just Skate!
Forget the world while you're at it
Wonder who's next..? Lance!?
Weird seeing John on braille. I skated with that dude in south Carolina for years.
You guys should try to get to the Nine Club 😱
You guys should paint the wooden railing up there behind the podcasters. Maybe the signature blue or the light grey? Maybe black? I think it would look even more official :)
But the woodgrain is sybolic of skateboarding
@@sliderx1897 true! I didnt think of that
It’s weird that this video only has 4.5 thousand views
are yall ganna do more of these or nah?
it’s not even in the description!
Hope the app is also a type of social media just for skateboarding. That would be sick
Do more braille drop podcasts,
When was this filmed
i started skating when i was 10. had a mongoose skateboard from walmart. got an ollie pretty quick. bailed a lot. shuv it took like 5 minutes. the kickflip took a few hours because i was lucky af. i skate for fun though. im in cyber for work.
Dude id watch the heck out of skate homework
HE IS 29?! 29 YEARS OLD!!! WHAT???
Gabe Ollie the 3 Block!
nice podcast!
Need a custom background, idk because I’m looking at the background to see anyone is skating
I think that Chris Roberts thing is out of context, he was pretty stoked on RUclips Skaters and Revive's model in the video I saw.
I know what 411 is, but I’m also almost thirty, so there’s prolly some connection between that and the knowledge of older skateboarding 🛹 😅

Bro you’re right
I didn’t even know he was ever in the core industry
can braille do a podcast with dale decker
Honestly, I think it makes perfect sense John Hill vibed better with people like Jason Park and Richie Jackson, instead of more(?) 'core' skaters that would stab each other in the back given the opportunity really.
I remember watching braille when it was just aaron before Revive and Revenge even
i already listened to this twice on spotify like 3 months ago
