A moving forklift, a seesaw rail and the Dern Brothers' sketchiest grinds
Destin, Dalton and Kanaan also skated a garage, a shed roof and a zip-line course, while a Travis Pastrana sit-down nears three million views.
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.
Grinding Some Sketchy Unstable Rails!
What does a skater grind when every rail is built to wobble? The Dern Brothers answered with "Grinding Some Sketchy Unstable Rails!", and the answer included a seesaw and a forklift that keeps moving while the board is on it.
That forklift is what the comment section talks about most. One of the most liked comments compares it to a classic Tony Hawk's Pro Skater objective, the kind where you chase a hidden tape across the level, and plenty of others make the obvious workplace-safety joke. Another viewer is reminded of Daewon Song skating a warehouse. The video passed 460,000 views in its first week, comfortably the biggest of the four the brothers posted.
The rest of the week stayed close to home, in the backyard-builder spirit their about text promises: a run through the garage, a session on the shed roof, and, just a day ago, "Wild Zip-line Skate Course Line!", which is pulling in views faster than anything else on the channel right now. Close behind it sits an older conversation, the brothers talking with Travis Pastrana about the most watched clips to come out of Pastranaland, now right at three million views.
The channel as a whole ran slower than its usual pace, with about 1,000 new subscribers. Among similar sports channels it still had one of the busier weeks, behind NRL on Nine and RugbyPass, while fellow skaters Waltz Skateboards held steady.

What viewers say
The moving forklift feels like a challenge from a classic THPS game to get one of the VHS tapes or something. I absolutely love it.
