Braille Skateboarding checks what's underneath a beginner's board
A side-by-side gear lesson compares maple decks, metal trucks and wheels, with a custom grip-tape notch marking the pro setup.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Beginner vs Pro Skateboard Explained
The beginner wears pads and a helmet; the pro wears a backward cap. Braille Skateboarding's most-watched new upload puts the same host on both sides of the screen, making the equipment, rather than the skater, the point of comparison.
"Beginner vs Pro Skateboard Explained" has reached about 10,000 views. Both decks use Canadian maple, but the host explains the different glues before moving on to trucks and wheels. His clearest buying warning is about plastic trucks: leave those boards alone. A small custom notch in the pro board's grip tape provides a practical finishing detail, helping distinguish the nose from the tail.
The comments extend the lesson. One viewer asks whether modern decks are symmetrical; others describe finding Braille again after time away from skating or its videos. That's a fitting conversation for a channel whose beginner tutorial remains among its most-watched regular uploads, alongside the rather less conventional glass-skateboard experiments.
Three uploads filled the week, including "How to shove it. #skateboarding #skateboardvibes #skate" and "Do these and you are BANNED from skateboarding". The gear comparison is currently attracting the most daily views, followed by the latter upload, while October's "Helmet vs No Helmet" remains active.
Subscribers were unchanged over the week, with roughly 390,000 views added. Among the nearby sports channels, Braille has the largest subscriber audience, though its weekly viewing was comparatively modest. Its own daily views are above their usual level, with the new equipment lesson giving beginners something concrete to inspect before stepping aboard.

@NicholasWade-d5mSee it on YouTubeI thought these modern day decks were symmetrical no? So doesn’t matter which is your tail or nose?
@RixilaterSee it on YouTubeJust stumbled upon your video , I haven’t seen your videos since I stopped skating. You really played a big role and it’s sad that I stopped because I couldn’t get a new board😓
