- Huge thanks to @robscallon for teaching us how to do this amazing trick on rollerblades. We love these types of collaborations. Anything on wheels is our jam. Who do you want to see us collaborate with next?

Still can't comprehend Rob Scallon, rollerblading, in a Braille video. Blows my mind!
i know! It's so awesome! ^_^
This is crazy
I'm litterally just awestruck
I was looking at my other monitor when they said his name, i was like no way !!!!
Me too
Braille, thank you guys so much for always being so solid to the rollerblading community. Y’all have given our community so much shine over the last year or 2 and it’s just so, so rad to see. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I shouldn’t complain about a single thing in this video.... BUT, call it a “Groove”. Who calls it an H Block? It’s the grooved shape between the wheels... Again I’m just nitpicking, awesome video!
@@nevincaulfield lol and trucks don’t look like trucks 🛻 but here we are 🤷🏼♂️
@@nevincaulfield From where I'm from, people here do call them a H Block or more commonly, a Grind Block.
Stop referring to everything people do the "____ community". It's pretentious asf and sounds super needy and clingy. Also, it's just ridiculously misleading.
@@mysonandme8424 This comment of yours is real pointless. Thanks for taking the time though, i guess.
❤️
Thanks Rob love you
legend
Do a nother collab please
cannot believe chris went from doing toe duckwalks to souling the down half of the bump to bar in a single day, thats incredible... it took me YEARS to get the confidence for down rails so shoutouts to rob scallon's teaching too!
well that's not really a fair comparison hah. Chris has been skating for years (probably been through a bunch of nasty slams) so that confidence carries over pretty fast.
You with your experience would learn on a board much faster than the normal new skateboarder too. There’s a lot of carry over between different types of skating, pretty much any great transition skater can look like they’ve been snowboarding for 5+ years in a few days
Add me to the crowd of super impressed rollerbladers. Chris did something in half a day that took me years to get the guts to try. Absolutely killed it and I'm so stoked to see these crossovers! Things have changed since 2004 lol. Keep it up Braille.
Thank you!
I'm glad that rollerblading is getting the respect it deserves.
Braille is cool, blading is cool, funny thing is that Thrasher thinks both of these are lame
@@RolandAshcroft I don’t rollerblade personally but I think it’s sick. People need to do whatever makes them happy and stop caring what everyone thinks it makes life better
@@AndrewMoto96 Yeah man, couldn't agree more. To me skating is freedom from everything, including other people's perceptions. At 45 and walking with a stick, I like to see people smile when I'm bombing hills and racing traffic, with one hand on my walking stick and the stick propping up my knackered back leg. Adversity shouldn't stop you doing what you love, and other people's opinions certainly shouldn't!
I'm hoping maybe one day there'll be a Paralympic downhill skating or something like that, and I can get sponsored lol.
Never give up your dreams, or the things in life that bring you joy. I quit six years ago due to my disability and went on tons of painkillers, but the endorphin dump from skating around, even on flat ground does a better job of relieving pain, and more importantly it buoys my spirit. I'll never be able bodied again, but I've learned that it doesn't need to stop me skating. Getting high on your own supply of endorphins is great for depression too, so everyone should skate, or inline, or roller skate, or BMX, or even scooter (I guess I do still have a little skater prejudice lol). It's exercise but it's fun, and that beats grinding in the gym for a workout that's no fun.
@@RolandAshcroft they aren't wrong.
@@Si74l0rd or maybe you can be first cyborg skater :D
His energy and motivation is unmatched! I like seeing the sparkle in his eyes after every land!
I'm an inline skater who grew up idolizing Tony Hawk. I didn't even really know all the action sports weren't just one thing. I've been a big fan of Braille's channel for years now and love to see you all spreading the love and getting people on wheels.
Arlo Eisenberg was the GOAT of inline skating.
Skaters hated rollerbladers when I was growing up. Still do probably.
@@HonkeyKong54 that's a 90's thing, it doesn't happen anymore. at least everytime i go to a skatepark everywhere the contact with skaters are smooth and friendly
Dude....Rob is putting down straight BANGERS casssuaalllllyyyyy. Yeeesh.
Man's drops bangers on the guitar and skates
Rob is insane, I've skated with him several times in Chicago and every time he throws down super hard. At Chicago's Wilson summer bowl comp in 2020 he absolutely shredded the peanut pool. He'll be doing 540s out of grinds when just seshing a practice rail
If my local skateparks weren’t covered in snow, I would break out the old skates after watching this video. The soul grind was my go to grind back in the day. Now I’m missing it.
Bend those knees Chris
Gotta say: thanks to the Braille guys for not only being great energy and lots of fun, but for actually giving the love and respect to other rolling sports like rollerblading/aggressive inline skating. Totally respect you guys and definitely buying Braille when I get the chance. From an old rollerblader, thanks!
Every video like this puts another nail in the coffin of polarized wheel politics. Thank you Braille! So much love and respect.
Seeing a collab with Rob Scallon is awesome. Loved the game of Skate you guys played!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for giving blading a bigger audience!
THIS IS THE COLLAB WE NEVER KNEW WE NEEDED SO BAD UNTIL NOW
Started blading again literally this week I needed this one
Always, always love blading vids on Braille! Bring Rob back! Get more bladers on! Just fantastic, thanks!
Agreed! Unless I've missed it; it's been awhile since BFree has been on Braille too
Even though I'll probably never grind on skates, I watched the whole thing and was thoroughly entertained. 👍
im starting inline skating and he was explaining everything so well and took the time to go through all the little steps that were actually really important and now i can't wait to try it, thanks for this amazing collab
Yeah its so fun to do. You can see my profile picture is my skates
I can't believe Chris soul grinded the down rail that fast! That takes longer than a day for most people I'm sure. Another geat collab video guys ✌
It's the skateboarding for years. Things translate. Like not being as scared, balance, just being able to commit in general yea. I've been skateboarding for 25 years and just started playing with rollerblading for fun January 2021 and now I'm stuck. It's suuuuuper fun.
@@Boyish000 yep definitely some of the same concepts involved and yeah its super fun even just rolling around, same with skateboarding but still very different haha
@@jacobs_quest yea I can ONLY soul grind on a downrail. On a flat bar I have only 4 grinds. It's nothing like skateboarding. I can do like 20 grinds on a skateboard and it's really a whole different game. We all play the same music but use different instruments.
How long does it usually take, I skateboarded for a while years ago and getting to the stage of grinds and gaps took years, for learning inline grinds and say jumping stair sets would you say it takes less time ? Was considering picking up inline blading for 2022 as inline looks, not exactly easier but quicker to get the basics of grinding and hitting gaps than skateboarding
@@Shodan130 the more time you spend on skates the more you will progress as long as you are pushing yourself. Just start with balance, turning and just feeling comfortable then practice the basic grinds on a practice box or rail. I learned all the basic grinds within a year and can jump a 9 or 10 stair now but only skated once or twice a week on average.
First video I've watched it over a year thanks to my man Rob.
Back in the early 90's when soul grinds were being invented, blades didn't have sole plates. I actually used liquid nails to attach sections of skateboard rails under my boots! 😅
@@stephenfrancis303 I had Bladerunners in 89, then bought my Lightning TRS in 90/91. But Lightning were around in the late 80's👍
loving the attention to aggressive skating, i'll love more content like this!!
Loving the collabs with rob 🔥
Would love to know the demographic of Braille viewers that are solely Rollerbladers because of the love they show! Props guys 👍
Yeah, I am of that demographic. Watched the B-Free videos back in the day, subscribed, and now can’t get enough of watching JD tear up the half pipe. I don’t skateboard, but I enjoy watching it (and playing THPS).
Bro coming from someone whos bladed for 20 years its amazing that Chris did that in 20 min.
Love the aggressive inline content 🤝
@FullClippz it’s because inline skating is already a separate sport
@FullClippz type in inline skating on CZcams. You’ll get a lot of big wheel, cruiser, distance or casual type skating. It’s a way to show the difference in types of skates, and styles of skating.
From nothing to soul grinding the down rail in a day. Absolutely fair play 👏
Chris did such a great job
We all need teachers like Rob.
rob scallon taught me my first soul grind!!!
Loved this video, big up Braille for continuing to rep rollerblading, I feel like they have this vision of all action sports respecting one another, which I'm very down with, and hopefully they can be a powerful force in making that happen.
next video should be Rob learning skateboard!!
Dude I literally did not know Rob scallon skates. In line was my life when I was a kid! This just made me dig him even more. Awesome stuff
I love Rob Scallon! The amount of times that dude has brought me to tears, whether it be comedy or beautiful music. This is quite possibly my favorite collab in CZcams history. I love Braille skateboarding!
aggressive skating on Braille Skateboarding channel ?! This is really cool !!!
Loving all the rollerblade videos at the moment.. I would love to see some rollerblader games of skate in this skatepark..
Rob and his rollerblading needs a regular feature. Please!
LET'S GO CHRIS!!! I was hoping any of you would put on some blades and get some Rob lessons, this was so sick!! Congratulations McNugget, you killed it!
Braille putting out better rollerblading content and instructional videos than most rollerbladers on CZcams.
Been binging all the Rob Scallon videos again, and would love to see him come back. Would be really fun to see him progress even further on a board, and to see Chri progress further on blades. So freaking wholesome!
Solid Soulgrind in record time!! Always fun to see cross disciplines mix it up!
I love that you guys have rollerbladers on here MORE ROLLERBLADE CONTENT. Also Shout out to a fellow Chicago Rollerblader.
Insane. McNugg seems a tiny bit uncomfortable/unnatural just skating around, like he's not really used to it, but still nails a soul grind in a couple of tries. A pro indeed.
Cause rollerblading isnt hard. Its just a dead sport.
@@NickGoSk8 clicked ur profile and almost all your comments are you insulting things and/or people. So insecure it’s hilarious😂😂
@@NickGoSk8 And then the one where you said “I wish I had your life instead of mine”🤣 wraps it all together
@@8nvibin454 LOL
@@Boyish000 I am cool to non kooks. I like to make fun of kooks though. Plus I can tre flip and I bet rollerblade look can’t. And tell your mom to stop calling me dude.
Yes!!! Next up: What is a Royale Grind?!?
Use the like button to make it true guys!
Braille Rollerblading? Love that you showcasing rollerblading. People will realise that it is not that easy but also incredibly fun.
0:18 his excitement is just gold
Man, I just wanna hug Chris for being so awesome for doing a soul grind so quickly.
I literally had no idea Rob could rollerblade. Dude is insanely talented.
As a fellow Fruit Booter, I most enjoyed seeing Chris crush that grind
you don't have to call yourself a Fruit Booter, unless it has a new meaning
You gotta love them week long collab uploads
Yup, we film a lot of videos in a day so when someone comes for a weekend they end up in 6-7 videos!
@@brailleskateboarding it's smart
Yesss Give Blading more Light 🔥
Dude if I ever had Rob at my place, id HAVE to ask him to jam with me on guitar.
So cool to watch you guys. It's all about fun no matter which wheels you ride. Keep it up, great content.
Well that was fun. Great job Rob and Braille!
Thanks for having rollerblading on braille and congrats to Chris !
Love to see that Rob skates Aeons lol. And I really appreciate you guys for having multiple extremely dope bladers on your channel 🙏🏽
That's how it always should have been since the nineties: people on different kinds of wheels having fun together while trying to hurt themselves! Thumbs up for Braille, thanks for supporting the blader community.
I would love someone like him taught me how to rollerblade
chris looks so happy he landed it haha
Aaron and the Braille Guys you guys need to get Montre Livingston on for the aggressive in-line skating videos he is a legend in the roller blade community.
But take him to the streets
Montre can also be super kid friendly too.
So as a guitarist and beginner skater it is cool to see rob and braille doing vids together
Woohoo Chri McNug killed it! A lot of first tries right there 🤙🤙🔥🔥
Just got my braille board in and I love your style on the trucks and wheels. Thanks for reaching out guys. Thanks for getting me back into skating. If you don't know Rob his 8 string guitar stuff is amazing. All of it is amazing.
Love skateboarding! Love Inline skating/ Blading!!!
yes…… love seeing you guys having fun on skates!
bringing so much attention to all wheeled sports. Thank you.
Sick! That's one collab I never knew I needed but still got me super psyched!
Such an amazing video, really shows how truly talented Chris is.
Thanks
Gets me so pumped to see someone discovering the joys of lacing a soul grind for the first time 🤩
Also I'd never heard of Rob until this video but I wish he had his own skate channel or insta page so I could follow him because his style is absolutely sick 🤘
Thanks a lot guys! Keep mixing skateboard and blading! It's a lot fun to watch it!
I actually a inline skate e a watch this channel for a long time, every time you guys made throws inline skates videos it is so cool. You guys should have a inline skating channel hahahahaha
The dismount is what gets me lol I couldn’t see myself being that nimble
I am an inlineskater and this is why I love this chanel!!!
OMG new video idea Braille team tries snowboarding!!!!
They did go on a snowboarding trip like last year or 2 years ago? Not trying to LEARN tricks but they went snowboarding for sure. Aaron looks great on a snowboard. He's done it before for sure
Chris is a beast for learning how to soul this fast. Keep making rollerblading videos please 🙏
Ayeee blading videos are back
love seeing the braille boys on blades! i started blading this year from skateboarding my whole life and im having a blast!
I have been such a big fan of Rob’s music channel for so long and had NO idea he skated! So freakin cool! Love the Braille crew too!
More rollerblading!
Let’s go Chis! Legend 😎
I did my first grind today
Biggest cheese eatin grin when he landed the down rail.
Definitely need more videos about aggressive rollerblading!!
I love seeing blading on this channel!!!
Would love to see some more blades, where B these days?
The soul grind was one of my first grinds I learned on rollerblades.
Congrats Chris that was great
This is pure joy!
Aaron should really consider changing the Braille skateboarding name to just Braille skating, and actually go in depth with every variant of skating. Would probably boost the company a lot and it’s content
I don’t think it will ever happen, because skateboarding is by far the most popular type of action sport. But it’s a cool idea, I like the way you think
@@zaharu4375 the Braille format just makes for great videos and the Braille house is a great place to skate. Their team can just create another channel with a group of bladers and just produce the videos and I am sure it would be a hit. This is a media company after all. Yes the mission is to spread skateboarding and I don’t want them to loose sight of that, but they have built up the talent for making great videos, and the in-line community could really benefit from it.
@@baertheblader9402 Exactly, and blading is more niche than skateboarding. There are lots of places to learn to skateboard, but not so easy to find blading lessons. It could be a really great market to get into. Plus I really enjoy watching the blading videos.
Tons of skateboarders think rollerblading is lame as f
@@HonkeyKong54 most of the younger generation of skateboarders have no opinion of rollerblading because they simply haven’t been exposed to it. And if they make an in-line focused channel that doesn’t interfere with the skateboarding content, then who cares what those particular close-minded skateboarders think? They can just choose not to watch it.
Tell me why I never understood the relation from soul to sole 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Shout out anyone who played aggressive inline on GameCube back in the day that was a dope rollerblade game
One big thing i noticed was how rob keeps his knees bent. really seems to make locking in his grind a lot easier compared chris keeping his legs more straight which makes his whole body weight hit the rail at the same time. it looks stiff and probably causes him to bounce off. Maybe its similar to what rob was talking about with "savoring landings" so the upper body doesnt even feel the impact. I learned a lot here and imma def go out and practice.
So good
Amazing how he learned the whole trick just in one day! WHAT?!
You always helping me
Chris you did great and I want to see you do more Roller blading from the past
Dude that spin tho🔥
gabe and chris’s friendship >>>
Chris a true jack of all trades, killer video
Dude could get my grandma to grind he’s a beast at teaching !!
seeing mcnugg progress is genuinely wholesome.
