If you’re trying to figure out how to actually make it in skateboarding online, the Dern Brothers just handed you the playbook - kind of.
Red Bull’s latest episode of SKATE TALES is a must-watch for anyone who’s into skating, filming, and figuring out how to stand out without selling out.
Dalton, Destin, and Kanaan Dern didn’t exactly take the traditional route. While most folks were grinding ledges, they were grinding out video after video on YouTube, turning their backyard and sometimes entire house - into a DIY skate zone.
Their clips are raw, weird, fun, and full of stuff you wish you thought of first. Add in their "Spot History" series (which dives deep into the stories behind legendary skate spots), and it’s clear they’re not just messing around, they’re making content skaters actually care about.
Madars Apse links up with the brothers as they roll from Florida to California, peeling back the curtain on how they turned their creativity into a channel that people actually watch.
Along the way, there’s some gnarly skating, a Halloween takeover in San Francisco, and some behind-the-scenes chaos that proves none of this was luck.
And yeah, Bam Margera pulled up. So does Jamie Thomas. It’s part road trip, part skate documentary, and part look at how the internet can work for skaters if you’re down to make your own rules.
