Jumbo: how to fishbrain - Trick Tips. “It’s the little things that make a big difference”. I’ve been talking about making this fishbrain video for years. There’s so many different elements to this trick that make it hard to perfect, but they’re unsung. A proper fishbrain is something we take for granted. It’s the go-to trick for almost every photo.
It’s more complicated than it looks. I discuss it in the video, so I won’t rant about it here, but with every fishbrain there’s at least 8-10 different movements that have to go right for it to work out. I did forget to bring up not to hang your non-grinding foot below the ledge. I’m bummed about that. Big thank you to Anthony Medina for helping me out. As I mentioned in the video, you need to be able to do most of the basic forwards soul tricks before learning this. I would also learn an easier topside trick before fishbrain. - Cody Sanders.
Massive shoutout to my homie Randy for wanting to make an appearance at the end. We’re back!… Sort of. We’re off to a start. Not a good start, just a start. Michael Kraft has been gone all summer, so it was nice to see him again. Anthony Medina has been in Europe. Some of the squad was in Oklahoma. And we have some new faces as well. Overall, it was a good day. I’m happy to see the crew back together again. Was very high, mellow handicap rails the best idea for a first spot?… No.
Was the abandoned building any better? No. That’s fine. I just wanted to get back in the groove. I had been stressed to start working on this project again. I had all of these wild ideas over the summer. I thought I wanted to do some really outlandish, very “youtube’y” type stuff. I wanted to kick it up a notch. I felt some sort of pressure to… I dunno. Keep evolving? As the time got closer to start Jumbo back up again, I realized I was trying to do “too much.”
I had wanted to do all of these silly challenges, with consequences… I wanted to do so much more than just skate. That was never the point I’d first wanted to make when starting the channel. This was just for skating… I don’t know why I wanted to make it into so much more than that. Skating by itself is good enough. - Cody Sanders.

Introducing a great skater, filmer, mentor, and friend, Anthony Medina. Cymatics is a brand that embraces dynamic in the group of people we surround ourselves with. We are proud to have Anthony on our Fam Team.
Filmed by Andrew Broom, Cody Sanders, Kirill Braynin, Michael Kraft & Zachary Gutweiler. Edited by Anthony Medina.
Before the Carriers Open I spoke with Julien Cudot about coming to Austin (Texas) to film a street part. The obvious deterrent would be if he got hurt at the competition. Not only did he win but luckily, he came out unharmed. After a week of rest he came to Austin and we began filming that night.
Julien is mostly known as a park skater and he knows that. His main goal was to show everybody he could skate street just as well as park. The section we made was filmed over the course of 5.5 days. I wanted to show a more raw side of Julien and try to get him to show more emotion (this was hard) haha. This is a small insight of the filming process. A lot of people helped make this happen and we appreciate all of you. - Anthony Medina.

Julien is one of the most determined skaters in our industry, which is made evident by his drive to compete and win all over the world. As of late, he’s been dominating the streets with the same technicality and intensity he is known for in the park.
Julien’s personal growth and evolution has given him the mental strength needed to push the limits and become a role model for future generations of skaters. Please join us in welcoming Julien to the team. Filmed & edited by Anthony Medina, in Austin, Texas. Visit Cymaticsbrand.com.
I won’t lie to y’all, I spent the first half of the day filming the Inspin & Outspin Tutorial Video, so this one is going to be a little shorter than normal. But! We hit two spots and it was really fun. Well… One of them was really fun, the first one was scary.
Denny showed up to the handicap rail we were at and first try, no warm up did a fishbrain. It’s not a chill spot and you can get pretty hurt on it… as you’ll see, haha. All in all, a fun one. They’re all fun, even when they’re not. - Cody Sanders.
Apparently we’re more productive when I’m 5 hours late, half the crew is missing and we only go to two spots… I’m a little bummed I didn’t bring my skates to this one. We’re finally skating normal spots. I don’t even like handicap rails but man… The one we went to was so perfect. Fresh out of a skate video from 2002. Needed more tap dancing. - Cody Sanders.

They can’t all be winners. This weekend wasn’t the absolute best. Don’t get me wrong, we were out of the house, we had fun… That part of the day was a success. But a majority of the day was us driving around looking at spots that no one wanted to do. I didn’t even film some of them.
That’s ok. I’m blaming it on the eclipse I guess. As I say in the video, we really don’t know what to do for the carriers contest, so for sure feel free to give a good idea for what kind of side-event we should have at the Carriers Open on Nov 11. Zero-spin high jump contest, where the bar is in front of a set of stairs is pretty funny.
