I'm a grad student and instructor at UC Davis. I walk past both these spots every day and I always say a little prayer to the skate gods.
Nice
Your prayers are noted.
Joslin’s tre flip is definitely legendary
Definitely. But we’re you around when Chief first Ollie’s it? Seeing that back around ‘97/98 was mind blowing. That and his legendary smith grind lit the fuse to the gnar bombs!! 🔥💥
Joslin's make was the most flawless.
nobody heelflip it wait for me
@@jamiegrieve9306 Foy should get that!! Neen is done with the big stuff.
He has a secret trick - two shirts and ripping cigs 😂
But fr that's what he did in the My War 🙌
Duffel is a great guy , always happy and humble 👊
The pride and joy of Walnut Creek. Probably the best East Bay skater of all time.
Yea hes an awesome dude all around. Very kind dude
I went to UC Davis during the mid to late 2000s. That’s the physics building, and the labs are upstairs. Every time I had to go to lab, I’d look down the thing and have my mind blown at how Jamie Thomas ollied it - I remember that ON skateboarding video which had that ollie in it. Then we found out that Corey Duffel 180d it! One day my roommate ran into three Canadian dudes on a skate road trip in 2009, probably and we hosted them for their Davis stay- they saw Reynolds trying the kickflip that day!
Fun fact - just next building are the famous 7 stair rails which many pros destroyed. Mark Appleyard kickflip front crook in his Sorry ender and Guy Mariano’s 270 to tail ender in Fully Flared - that’s the one… We called it Chem 7 cuz it was the chemistry building. Opposite on the other side of Davis Gap is Bainer 8, for Bainer Hall, the mechanical engineering building. That’s the one with the butter ground and ledges and drop-off with the 8-stair rail. Janoski killed that one in his Habitat part. I hucked treflips down it for hours but could never get the full roll-away. Good memories though.
Just looking down the Davis gap as a regular skater - you would think there’s absolutely no fkn way anyone can huck themselves down the thing and roll away, but magic has been made at Davis. Long live Davis Gap!
Also, that drop in that Kanaan did at the end - I noseslid that in 2006 and it was probably the longest noseslide I had done lol.
Thats so cool to hear all of that!
Really informative and interesting comment,I appreciate it
Skating Davis in the early 2000's was so memorable along with the rest of Sac. Very underrated skate city imo. I used to drive 2 hours to go sk8 with my homie at all hours of the day and night. Man this video is like a trip back in time for me. Love this. Your comment is proper. How about the ledge to gap at the bike rack.
Well lets just say that ollie'ing that gap was one hell of a physics experiment
@@josef9001 Agree 100%. It was a special time and skating Sac was super fun.
great video just here to say damn Ryan Decenzo dont get enough respect that dude has ripped so hard his whole career (and still is)
Yeah he’s insane.
Canada sucks bro
@@trixonic6934it doesn't... Even if it did its irrelevant
The guy's a tool
Dude that catch on the Frontside flip was insane, I got goosebumps. Ryan's style is so gnarly
The interviews are a cool new part of the series!
i agree!
Lol the legend Corey Duffel skating with other legends. Mike Carrol, Guy mariano, Rick Howard and Frosty. What a heavy and historical sesh that must've been. Davis was murdered tht day
Corey duffel has always been my fav skater and as I’ve gotten older and gotten to see his attitude and how genuine he is I respect him even more
I met him in Chicago years ago. He was injured so he wasn't skating, but he was bbq'ing for all the kids and signing autographs. Really really nice dude.
The reason yall are bouta blow up is cuz of the effort you put into the vids. Yall lit keep it up
That hand touchdown was major... Jamie's Ollie was clean.. no contest.. respect to both but Jamie is a Legend on another level.
the fuck are you doin here lmfao
jollie ollie likes skate vids? legend
The cameo I didn’t know I needed
"one gram dab challenge" 🔥
He's a legend but skaters today are going bigger with more difficult tricks due to natural progression of the sport
Dude Corey duffel and tom penny are like the only two skaters that never deviated from their fashion choices and stayed true to who they were. MAD RESPECT.
Your right pretty much, I used to see Corey come by my job at Thrasher with his mom to get thrasher gear. He had a blond crew cut baggy jeans and a rugby shirt. But he was 12 so guess it doesn't count 🤔 other dudes didn't switch up either.....like Julian Stranger and quite a few actually.
I had a Corey duffel jacket, prob the most stylish thing I've ever owned
Tom Penny didn't wear oversized baggy clothes in his early days.
@@cannabisPREVENTION my statement would exclude the extremely early days of their careers. The statement is more implied toward when their names were fully cemented in the skate community. Tom in the mid to late nineties already sporting a baggie like fashion and stuck to it to this very day into 40s. Same could be said for Corey duffel.
Not only did Chris 3flip it but everyone else’s looks like the explode when they land Joslin just sticks it super smooth.
I love how physics and biology just forced him to dab too, like the entire universe conspired to recognize how gnarly the thing he did was.
Probably the best trick ever done on a skateboard
So someone from baker told Ryan not to fronside flip it that's crazy
That’s pretty lame
I thought chris wimer was on zero/emerica
I believe they were talking about Reynolds wanting to kickflip it @@AlexWitkowski
Shows us a little of the inner workings of the skate world we will never see 👀
@@flippinbeastIGwell they don’t call him the boss for nothing. And when a vid part is coming out for a major company, obviously the boss gets dibs at the time.
Ayy thanks for throwing in me in the mix 🫶
That was a gnarly 360° bro!
As someone who can't help but look at gnarly injuries but always regrets it, I appreciate the sensor 😅
Yeah not trying to see an ankle loosely hanging off that dude's leg. He must of had so much adrenaline pumping through his system to react like that. It's like he's calm about it.
@@10DollarProductionshe said compound fracture so most likely it was bone sticking out of his leg
This legendary spot series is so dope. This kinda content would have blown my mind when I was younger and skating was my life. But yeah great idea, great execution. Getting the interviews, showing all the clips of what been done down it so far…. So rad. Thanks Dern Brothers!
How this amazing channel only has 37K subs is beyond me. You cover spots better than the old jenikem videos.
You mean janecum?
When everyone is here you'll miss how special it was (millions of spots guys!)
this channel is still pretty new and is growing fast! just in a couple weeks it grew 10k followers! Dern brothers channel is on the rise!!
Bro I been here since they had 2.5 subs. Pretty nice to see them grow! Channel is dope af
Yep they keep it up they already legends and doing it right with footy
Nothing better then a Dern brothers skate spot history video! Well done! I would be so hyped to see a Wallenberg skate spot history video!
Type O hi Mark. Best shirt in the world. Hahaha. I coughed my bong rip when I saw it
I would love to know more about Decenzo getting a call to quit trying a trick. Great video guys.
Seconded. Ryan is royalty.
This is a total guess but I’m assuming Reynolds had already been there to kickflip it and probably told him the situation. I doubt it was as harsh as he made it sound. Ryan probably stepped back out of respect.
@@jonathanborthwick400 makes sense. I was thinking something similar.
@@jonathanborthwick400out of “respect” or out of concern of being blackballed by the skateboard industry?
Sun Tzu Law of Power #1- NEVER outshine the master 🤔
I would love to see a proper varial heelflip down that !
Never gonna happen bud if fs flip can’t be done no way varial heel is going down
@@MIKE2111ful its possible man if they tre flipped it
I feel like Enzo cautela would be the one to do it
This dude was getting a burrito with his friends down the street and just randomly decides to nonchalantly 180 a 20 stair. And almost forgets that he ever did it. What a legend.
I had that Corey Duffel clip on my MySpace page as a gif when I was in middle school 😎
Love these mini Derncumentories!
Yess, lovin these vids man. Thanks for making them ✌🏼
im from another country, but im have so much pleasure to watch yours videos about the spots. it's very interesting, and it drive me in to the past of skateboarding, when i used to know only by old videos. amazing feeling. thx!
That is HUGE! JOSLIN IS KING FOR THE TRE! 🤯
Legend has it the 3 second pause from celebration after JOSLIN landed the 3 flip was cause he officially glitched the matrix a d they had to reboot their brains from seeing such a tremendous act of God
That Tuck knee grab looks so good over that gap. I’ve never seen that one before.
Love these types of Videos aswell as the scooter shotout
Love that you guys went around the spot, never wouldve known all those jems were right next to eachother. So many memories, well im pumped to go skate. Thanks my brothas from another motha but probably same daddy haha love peace and chicken grease
Love this series but the ONLY thing I would love to see is an actual POV roll up (gopro head mount) to the spots so you can get an idea of what people were working with. Board throw down, push, everything up to the spot. Great video though!!
You guys should do a spot history of the Beverly Hills High School nine stair!
Corey Duffel is the man and class act. 😎
Like when he said racist stuff about stevie williams?
@@johnsmith-zf1fdcope harder soiboi
This series is amazing!! Keep 'em coming, please. And Thank You!!
Backflip el toro on a scooter is absolutely mental... I approve of the helmet on that one lmao
Sick channel, sick series.
These spot history videos are incredible, never stop fellas.
I love these videos so much. And how detailed to even add the clip of K man injuring his tailbone! So much perfection w this channel!
Thanks for mentioning the scooter tricks as well! I ride scooters and love this video series. Was a bit bummed when the El Toro episode mentioned other sports but left out scooters, but was stoked to hear you guys called out the flip down El Toro and truck driver down Davis gap! Anyone who throws their body at a rail or down a gap deserves respect, no matter what they ride. Keep it up!
Didn’t realize those other spots were at Davis! So good as always fellas👏🏼
I was scared of the Embarcadero 7 stair in the early 90's & then you see the Davis gap. Insane progress in skating & that is why I still love it & it motivates me in life. The Progression.
Such a great video series. Keep ‘em going Dern Bros!
That tuck knee does not get enough love
Love seeing your channel grow! Was here at 11k now you’re at 37k fuck yah guys! So stoked!!!
When I met Destin last November, they were at just over 3k. It's really exciting and fun to see the channel grow and the videos get better and better.
Love these videos you guys have been creating! 🔥🔥
And props for including that scooter-kid's 360 barspin, that was pretty gnarly indeed! 😮
Never stop the spot location videos ever ..that’s all thank you 🙌🙌🙌
Man you guys rule, this is one of the best series in RUclips skateboarding right now
learned something new today; never knew Boss' davis kickflip and half-cab heel-nose slide were on the same campus...
Love these vids fellas, keep up the bloody great work. Big ups from New Zealand 🇳🇿🍻
David Gravette in “And Now” did that board slide to board slide pop out
In the rain as well.
To me, Joslins 360 flip looks like the cleanest of everything done on the gap. He lands so perfectly and catches that flip so high with such extension. Beautiful.
Love the videos. There is a gnarly humbleness to them that i really like. Definitely respect you guys for paying homage to the spots with the history lessons.
Duffle's style and full send to skating is legendary.
Stay Rad.
The interview part was awesome! Great addition !
Corey Duffel got a legit record collection!!! NICE
And he generally seems cool AF. Do I see PeeWee figurines up there? He's my people
I don't know much about skateboarding. But that shirt gets a 10/10 for me.
Hell yeah bros. Sick video. I love the classic music in the background it makes it feel so educational 😆
Need to see this wimer footy 👀
Awesome. Love the spot profiles, instant watch. +the Duff man! 👌
It's so interesting that skateboarding now has decades of lore and historic tricks and spots...Very little of that existed when I got into it in the 80's
I keep telling people about this channel guys! I speak with great enthusiasm too.... *I LOVE THIS STUFF!* maybe the older you are the neater this is too!
Love this series !!
Hearing good skaters talk about this gap being scary makes the tricks that have been done on the gap even crazier
These videos are so good! Please keep it going!!!!
So good, and the tour of the other spots at Davis I never knew, like Guy's Bs 270 Nose was such a treat, thanks guys.
"you were there?" "yeah"
I don't know why but this is fucking epic
Such an iconic spot! great vid dudes
This channel is so entertaining. Amazing idea for a YT channel. Keep em coming!
Awesome video! Corey is so gnarly
I think 360-flip wins so far. If I ever broke my leg like that I'd be done skating.
I’ve had the honors to skate with Corey duffel at my local multiple times, and live near his record shop too. What a legend!
As a Rollerblader I love the Dern Bros, also good to see scooters getting their well earned respect.
The Type O High Mark shirt has to be the most niche product ever made. Banger video.
You guys did a great job on this one. Well played!
cheers for these vids... been watchin these spots for 20 odd years in videos .i love the history
Cheers !
Greeting from scotland
These videos are amazing. Love the way you guys put it all together. Subsciber earned...
Always loved skating the pool ledges at Davis!
Didn’t want it to end! Also I was there with some friends when Reynolds kick flipped the gap. Skated around with Ellington , the whole crew was there!
This is my favorite series of videos you bros make. Very informative.
Awesome series!
Im happy yall are touring these famous skate spots
love these historical skate spots videos guys! Keep it up! ;)
These spot history videos are so good
Duffel is such a solid person. Love that guy
Really enjoy these videos, keep it up.
I love these history lessons.
Lets F'n GO!
iconic spot for sure!
Amazing how you watched Reynolds all the time growing up, I watched Reynolds too all the time too and I am 24 and from Europe. Stay Gold is even the only skate dvd I have a hard copy of. The guys you always talk about in these videos will for me always be the pioneers and one of the biggest legends in skateboarding history. What a pleasure for me to grow into skating in this period! The spots also me and my friends have this connection to the places, we've never even been to!
Really like these gap history vids so cool
as always fire content guys, i love it
Big respect for the shoutouts to other sports on the spots you guys are talking about, some shit is so gnarly it just needs to be mentioned
That was sick Dalton! Amazing
Best skate RUclips channel, duffel is a legend and I ate lunch with him at Woodward in 2009 or 10. We just ate some cheeseburgers it was fuckin rad!!!
Kickass information guys, as always 🤘🏼 I severely bruised both my heels and messed up my tendons, but the doc said the skate gods were looking down on me. He’d never seen heel bruising like that, let alone on both feet. I seriously have no clue how Corey could walk for that week. I get landing the trick bc I tried my big drop twice, once to blow out each heel. However, I limped off and had the gf at the time tell me she was taking me to the ER that next morning bc I could barely walk. I say all this bc my mind is blown he walked for a week. That’s a badass mindset to push that kind of pain.
Put some respeck on Devin Appelo's name dude ripped on Creature. Great series guys!
thank you for this dern bros
This series is awesome
Keep doing these. Please.. -really enjoyable
Jamie Thomas has always been one of my heroes, especially back in the late 90s early 2000s, but Joslins tre flip was the best trick done, to see the way he handled that landing was impressive, had some big time huckers that got folded on this gap, he landed with pretty much no impact which is mind blowing, the dude is a different breed for sure
Yes, the guy is not human, I mean he tried 360 flip down El Toro like 10+ times each on two separate occasions, he's a cyborg
@@NickZoOoR if it wasn't for his trucks breaking he would of landed that too, watched a video about it, even if you watch the original one, you can see he was rolling away and just swerved off and got wheel bite, the impact was so hard he broke his kingpin
Honestly one of the greatest skate shows there is. This and thrashers My war are the best bro
