Title: Spot History w/the Dern Brothers
Post by: crescentfresh on December 14, 2023, 09:53:32 AM
The Dern Brothers have been going to famous spots and showing everything that's gone down on them, sometimes bringing in guests for short interviews. Pretty good stuff, if a little too long:

I dig their channel - when I first saw a thumbnail I thought it was going to be kookishness with the dude with the colored hair, but they seem to know a lot about skate history mentioning the tricks that have been landed (or not) in the spots. When I started skating in Brazil (2001), it was really hard and expensive getting hold of US videos, so I like watching old legendary tricks that I might have missed.

Plus, they rip too. One of those guys just went to Brazil and landed lots of stuff in shitty spots.

This is a guilty pleasure of mine for sure. Definitely a little kooky clickbaity kind of vibes, but they're obviously serious skate rats at heart. And I imagine trying to make a living off skating these days is really tough, so if it brings in a little extra money for them, then great. They also research each spot really well. There was a couple of times I thought they'd forget a specific trick, but they'd pull it out last minute.

I loooved this Kanaan part back when it came out, and I skated with Dalton a while back and he was nice as shit. Big fan of the bros, and like many others, find their videos surprisingly enjoyable.

A guilty pleasure of mine too, but that Destin fellow has some of the worst hair I've ever seen. Also, Dalton looks like a massive kook with the bandana and pit vipers and has heinous style but is a pretty gnarly transition skater. Kanaan seems pretty chill though.

This is 2nd (3rd?) wave skate YouTube, and it's pretty good. I wouldn't bat an eye if they started a board company and turned Kaanan pro. The fact Zero hasn't done it is a crime.

Cheesy YouTuber vibes aside, it’s clear these guys are skate rats and know a lot of skate history/do their research. I really like that they find all the clips, significant slams or near-makes, bmx and scooter tricks, even the random local that managed to get an nbd. It’s gotta take a lot of digging to find those clips, so I really respect that. I hope they can continue to get guests to add the back stories, that’s always a nice touch.

I might be in the minority here but I enjoyed the rough cut far more than the actual painkiller part. I still liked the part but the GnR two song edit was overly dramatized with the drawn out slow motion imo. When you’re attacking psycho/hairball spots like Kanaan it doesn’t really require those extra bells and whistles in the edit.
Anyways, these Dern Brothers videos are really fun. I dig spot histories and they seem to do their homework. One aspect I especially enjoy is when they go over how you could “hypothetically” make the spots skate-able again.
Title: Re: Spot History w/the Dern Brothers
Post by: Neil on December 18, 2023, 09:00:10 AM
Putting in another plug for the Dern brothers.

When their videos popped up on my algorithm I was immediately dismissive. The titles sucked ("Skating El Toro in 2022!?"), the thumbnails with the Hot Topic looking brother was a turn off, and I'm generally skeptical of siblings who market themselves as "The X Brothers."

There is so much skate YouTube junk out there I assumed this would be the same low quality, low effort stuff with clickbate titles.

I was very wrong.

These videos are lengthy because the brothers are skate nerds and historians who know their stuff and pay homage to every major trick at historic spots. They seem to know every trick even those in obscure videos and welcome their viewers to correct them or add things. They actually travel to the spots, sometimes even skate the spot (drop in at Encinitas Sign!), and get actual interviews with the people that did the tricks. In the Encinitas Sign ep they get a surprisingly wholesome interview with Bam. I could easily see a week+ worth of work dropped into these episodes.

Anyway, I'm a subscriber now and hope they stay at it and the series gets bigger. It's definitely a benchmark series for me.

Something that bothered me in this video about the UC Davis gap was the story at 5:06

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmUcMTgtr-A&t=837s

If you're Decenzo and you're trying FS flip...and someone calls you and says stop doing that trick, I'm gonna do a kickflip down it soon....do you actually stop trying for FS flip? Hell no...two totally different tricks. If that story is true (I don't trust much of what the Duffman says) and if it was Reynolds who made that call since he's the one with the kickflip, that would be kooky behavior...speculatin'

dechenzo has done some of the biggest flip tricks ever. watching these eps too has shown that kanaan has been killing it under the radar for years. is he the only one who's skated the rail against the wall? an 18 stair against-the-wall 5-0 is absolutely trucked up. probably the biggest against the wall grind ever done. I wonder what happened with vans...

what makes this series so sick is that dalton and kanaan actually skate the spots they're featuring, and the spots they feature are gnarly ass spots. its one thing to do a vlog ass video about a spot, but it's another thing to get a trick on the spot too. put some respeck on the dern bros name!

Darby is an absolute nutcase but he’s entertaining.

I agree that these are better than the T.O.L because T.O.L feels more focused on the architectural history and not the tricks and skaters.

This series is so good.  Did they move to ATL?  Lots of coverage lately.  Dern Bros if you do Bell South (RIP) I know first handrail front board and 50-50.

one thing I've realized through this series and their youtube channel as a whole is that Kanaan is really fucking good and he has been for a long time. I can't wait for his pro part. he has some insane tricks uploaded in their youtube shorts.

when dalton refers to kanaan as one of the best rail skaters in the world i was like pfft but then after watching and thinking back on all the insane shit we've seen him do i can't help but agree

i still think of him as the joker but he's starting to carve out a nice niche for himself with these videos - wonder if jamie thomas is stoked on this channel getting popular or annoyed?

But, it must be so awesome to have a sibling to skate with. I tried to get my little brother to skate (7 year difference) he fell once and was over it.

I think the very first hard slam you take as an inexperienced skater is the litmus test of if you’re going to continue doing it.

For some, first slam they are out haha

I've seen this personally too. One friend thought he could just jump on board and drop in on this tall, mellow-ish bank w/o any experience. He fell to flat and rolled the shit out of his ankle. Hasn't skated before or since. I don't even feel bad cause I warned him he was getting ahead of himself, but oh no, no one ever listens to Necktie

Post by: tkp on May 03, 2024, 08:29:39 PM
really appreciate the focus on photos in the water gap episode. i'd never seen the shot of kris markovich by daniel harold sturt. it's definitely burned into my brain now.

(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGrOGGl5wlzZtRk8UrJOx2P3QlvZYwJSzWmP6B2N4B7krYgZk8KbJwAq7JN4ZJ8mHN2NLE7zvbxrePXX6k4cV2dKggvN1ZesLhUOpGj8zpJXwDsAdDnb34VcWvKrtemLnnjZQIGXq2_EBh/s1600/kris34chrome.jpg)

according to the chrome ball incident (https://chromeballincident.blogspot.com/2014/06/chrome-ball-interview-74-kris-markovich.html), markovich wasn't even planning on skating the gap that day, but sturt had a contraption all setup to cross the water when he showed up. to shoot a photo that nearly completely crops out the skater, but captures the essence in a shadow, that's wonderful. not too sure how that would fly in this day in age, but it seems like skating needs more of it.

forgot all about the dave chami photo of walker ryan's switch tre. that one still brings out the stoke much as the first time i saw it in print.

(https://i.imgur.com/Y1hGAN6.jpeg)

the one dern brother jumping across the gap multiple times probably inspired a new challenge for sasuke / american ninja warrior. after seeing him slice himself open, i can understand why the other brother was like "nah".

having siblings to skate with is the best. both of my older brothers skated when i was little, the eldest stopped to just focus on surfing, and my little brother skates too. the three of us having a session is pretty special. that said, i wish it were all four of us - that would be magic.

Funny to see how Kanaan is afraid of the jump, given the death-defying rails he usually skates.

I rarely laugh anymore from being dead inside, but that was hilarious when Kanaan tried to jump across the water.  You can see the moment he loses the nerve to commit.

Always thought this was a cool spot.  I liked the one clip with the drone looking straight down.

(had to look « Swede » on Google because I’m French haha. Added a new slang term to my English vocabulary (which I mostly learned via music, tv shows, movies and skatevideos. Thanks guys.)

Their parents are cool - they basically let their sons destroy their property. What wouldn’t you do for your kids… I mean they already built a skatepark. Which has some waterslide parts as obstacles.

The three Dern brothers look like stereotypes of guys I would skate with around 2006, but they sure rip. The zero / fallen guy, the guy with a bandana rocking the hair metal shirts, the guy with the 90s/00s punk bands shirts.

never heard of them until seeing this thread, liked their spots video. Greet retrospective of what has been done on famous spots, from well established pros to random locals.

I have seen some of the roof antics popping up on Instagram, but didn’t know it was from a full edit.

Also me being an European : « they got strange first names ! how many cars do they got ? this property is 50x bigger than the one I grew up in ! there are certainly alligators wandering within this property »

This series is good and I appreciate the work they put in, I just wish that they would perhaps do a little more research into the spot itself. I’m not saying go full Ted barrow or anything just a surface level look into why some of these spots got built in the first place. All of these spots didn’t get built with skating in mind, yet have become places where the envelope gets pushed.. idk I think it’s interesting. Anyways, I appreciate the show and the fact that they get someone who skated the spot to talk about it every episode.
