The "GoPro effect" makes everything look easy on your 4" phone screen, but it's a different story when you're behind the handlebars. Those were some slippery and leafy trail conditions. Hats off to you, Mike!
This is more than learning. He's a average joe, he isn't some Super genius or anything. But that is his speciality. He represents the normal population. He represents that anyone out there with the interest to learn could do so much more, could acquire such useful strong skill sets. And so this guy represent the potential of humanity. The unique trait of adaptability. And that is what makes him fucking awesome. His resilience and attitude is also a positive trait to learn from. Thank you for continuing to inspire your viewers 👍🏻.
The Mighty Seaman Yup, that in itself is his biggest strength, the one that actually makes him different for the real average Joes that we are. The fact that he can actually focus on a goal and try to achieve it is the hardest part. Also, it's kind of his job, having a liking for it is a bonus. Most people won't find a motivation to learn to split apples with bare hands, open champagne bottles with a saber and shit like that.
Such quality content. Your way of editing is really catching and atmospheric. The build up to the end result is super well made. Keep doing you Mike ;)
It did export. He made it that way, I think he should've added some text. These type of export problems never happen, either everything gets exported or not.
ATTENTION MIKE!!!!! This is by far the best video you have posted on your channel and I suggest you do a how to whip a mountain bike on this week I learned. Love the channel keep it up!
I recently got into mountain biking recently and since I live in switzerland it's a really good place to do this sort of thing. I'm really happy you did this. Keep doing what you do I find it really inspiring and great !
This is a channel of determination and it’s so true it’s inspired me to never give up on stuff and all the time u spend on doing it is worth it from after u complete it
Thank you mike !! since may 2017 ive also started to learn some new things now i can solve rubiks cube, play guitar (still practising tho) and ive even learned some card tricks all this because you motivated me to learn something new Thank you!
you should learn how to do a card flourish like so he can see( no i’m not asking for likes to be “popular” or anything, i just really want him to try it.)
I love this. I’ve never mountain biked, I don’t own a mountain bike, but now I must learn mountain biking 😂 great video as always Mike. Absolutely smashed it mate .
13:08 so inspirational, i want that in my life... To want something so bad, and the high when you actually succeed! Thank you Mike, I hope you realize how much you inspire your fans and how much some of these videos mean to us :)
I think the whole point of this channel is to show that you don't need talent, as long as you put hard work in. Mike's talent is that he's stubborn and willing to work hard to achieve every goal he sets himself.
as a mountainbike coach is this making me happy! you set out with a fairly sloppy run, you got the coaching and learned how to tackle this type of terrain and you smashed your time by over 23 seconds, which over the corse of a first 2.20 minute run is this a huge improvement!
Not only is animation very hard and takes a long time, you also can't really set a goal for learning. "Animate (blank)" is too general and you can't really objectively rate the result.
It would be awesome to see you combine this challenge with your unicycle challenge. Mountain Unicycling is a ton of fun! It's the same thing as the mountain bike just minus the brakes, suspension, gears, and a wheel (some "Muni's" as they're called, come with brakes and/ or gears; you can get handlebars too, but a pure unicycle is cheaper and more challenging). A good milestone might be to complete this trail without falling off. I hope to see you give it a shot sometime!
Man I really want to learn to ride! Being with nature and on a bike is liberating! You breath in the fresh air, enjoy the calm of nature and enjoy the thrill of the complexity of the track.
mike after this i think you should learn how to go round a BMX pump track no peddling just weight transfer hell of a lot of fun when you get it right, and quite sore if you don't haha, give it a go man you'll enjoy it
Eeliolio too easy lol. Just 20 mins of learning the lyrics and going faster. "Uhhh, summa lumma dooma looma you assumin I'm a human what I gotta do to get it through you, I'm super human, Innovative and I'm made of rubber so that anything you say is richocheting off of me and it'll get glued to you, iiiiiiim devastating more than ever demonstrating how to give a mother fuckin audience the feeling like their levitating, never fading and I know the haters are forever waiting for the the day they can say I fell off, they'll be celebrating, I know how to keep em motivated I make elevating music, you make elevator music." You just need practice so your tongue doesn't get twisted lol.
@@christiandyrvig5789 I just think that he could benefit more if its a bit lighter because its more forgiving, and can really help him when hes learning
Mosxidi Gaming its still down hill it’s endure racing which is downhill but the less travel let’s you climb better if u need to, perfect for bike parks without uplifts or anyting
@@willbennett7107 what I said downhill parks u can still ride an enduro or trail bike bc I have a 180mm canyon torque and also other guy it's a triple crown fork not double

Learn to write with your non dominant hand!
JCA Shots87 I was just about to comment that😂
How?
That would be sooo boring to watch
That's not even a challenge
Learn to write with your foot!
Damn dude, scrubbing off [redacted] seconds is no joke! That was a good watch
EDIT: I removed the time above to avoid spoiling the video.
cheers Phil, it was pretty hard to do!
Phil!! you are one of my favorite mtb youtuber, love that you watch Mike aswell
You spoiled it for me! Oh well
Yey!! It's Phil..
I wonder what kind of time mike could have gotten with an actual downhill bike.
2:26 for some reason my underdevelopet brain thought he meant 10 seconds total lol
same haha
same
Same
Me too. I was in shock.
😂
"MORE COMMITMENT!"
*falls*
"okay, a little less commitment!"
Rodrichson Vista lol
ha.
there is another way to get faster and that is following someone faster than you
sasuke uchiha and also in track it pushes you extremely hard to get up and catch up and beat them.
I’d slow down because I’d be afraid of hitting it
I race cross country mountain biking and this is true.
Or have someone faster than you behind you with a chainsaw attached to the handlebars
@@bjct5002 that would work quite well
Mike: "I want 1:59"
Eliud Kiopchoge: OK buddy
mike more like nike
XD when he said ‘10 seconds’ I thought he meant to do the path in 10 seconds flat and I was like ???
Same xD
I thought he got 2 hours not 2 minutes so I was like...what?
Same I was like damn he's fast xD
WoW and Tech same
Sammmmeeee
Man I just have the privilege to say that you are one of the most nicest human I have seen. Such a determination. Love you man
OUTSTANDING! Awesome job Mike!!!
Lol no comment -.-
I know i am late but, you should've followed him to see where you could have been faster/where you need to learn more
True
Im more ok late
Do you mean follow his line
@Mjhops760no you
@Thomas Mackay Haha seriously. He was still 20 seconds faster and he wasn't going race pace.
“More commitment”
*Crashes*
“Less commitment”
This week I larned downhill mountain biking
good idea to not capitalize every word
He says it more like "lerned" I think. I really like his accent though, it sounds great.
Steef lmao ur profile pic tricked me so much😂
First you might want to learn how to spell 👍
Thats True are you joking?
Such quality content. Your way of editing is really catching and atmospheric. The build up to the end result is super well made.
Keep doing you Mike ;)
the way he built it up i thought it was going to be a success or a a horrible crash
yes. yes please
Man I’m so happy for him. This is what mountain biking is all about. Having a great time. Great video
When you did the sub 2 min run I literally lept outta my seat and cheered! Way to go!! Keep up the great content!!!!
how to do pen spinning
Ikha Futikhah would be really cool!
Took me around 3 Minutes...
Would be a pretty Short Video i Guess
Haki most of his video’s are 4/5 min lol
Haki what did you learn in this time?Thumbaround ?Thats not penspinning
My brother does pen spinning like crazyyyyy
8:34 Hate it when one of the tracks on the timeline doesn’t export 😘 Great video Mike!
AND WE DANCE. VLOGS watch towards the end because he adds it then because he feel like he did not complete it
Sloppy Landen 👍😎🎧
He should learn to speedrun Mario 64
It did export. He made it that way, I think he should've added some text. These type of export problems never happen, either everything gets exported or not.

@@zone9581 yep
This is probably the best video you have ever made it really shows what this channel is all about and how much effort it takes
I recently got into mountain biking recently and since I live in switzerland it's a really good place to do this sort of thing. I'm really happy you did this. Keep doing what you do I find it really inspiring and great !
Those drone shots in the last run were amazing. Beautifully edited and narrated video Mike, your storytelling skills are a gift!
This channel needs to get to a million faster
its at 1 million
This is a channel of determination and it’s so true it’s inspired me to never give up on stuff and all the time u spend on doing it is worth it from after u complete it
It’s not how fast you go it’s how much fun you have
My like is for your dedication! Well done, Mike!
Who thinks he should keep trying backflips like if you agree
hell yeah!
Learn to slack line it would be awesome, your goal could be walk across a 20 ft line
From Singapore, warm welcome to the mountain biking family! 👏🏻👏🏻
When he said 10 seconds, I first thought he meant “do the whole thing in 10 seconds”
That is what i thought aswell
How can you think that lol
@@Tudas acting like you didnt think that stfu
@@Tudas tryna make the man look stupid
@@zexuu1608 it just doesnt make sense... why would anyone think that.
Thank you mike !! since may 2017 ive also started to learn some new things now i can solve rubiks cube, play guitar (still practising tho) and ive even learned some card tricks all this because you motivated me to learn something new Thank you!
Rasmus_ how fast can you solve a Rubik's cube
Mr. Meeseeks i think its about 1:30 or so
Rasmus_ noice I can do it in 40 secs
you should learn how to do a card flourish
like so he can see( no i’m not asking for likes to be “popular” or anything, i just really want him to try it.)

Me too! Cardistry is damn hard. Would also like to see him try pen spinning
Got you bro
It’s awesome that you try all these things
I love this. I’ve never mountain biked, I don’t own a mountain bike, but now I must learn mountain biking 😂 great video as always Mike. Absolutely smashed it mate .
All the mountain bikers know, its not bout how fast u finish the trail, its bout the fun on ur bike.
But damn hats off to u mike
You should try learning butterfly knife tricks
YaBoyBenny1 aren’t those illegal

Really depends on the area.
He can use a trainer
Ez thumb roll looks like challenge i learned it. In 15 min

13:08 so inspirational, i want that in my life... To want something so bad, and the high when you actually succeed! Thank you Mike, I hope you realize how much you inspire your fans and how much some of these videos mean to us :)
i notice your shots, editing style and music use are improving with each video as well! love the channel, keep it up mate :D
So inspiring and positive.
You are way too disciplined dude keep up the great work!
I think the whole point of this channel is to show that you don't need talent, as long as you put hard work in. Mike's talent is that he's stubborn and willing to work hard to achieve every goal he sets himself.
Sander Wassenberg ok I understand both of u but it was a complement and either way u should just take it and leave it at that
as a mountainbike coach is this making me happy! you set out with a fairly sloppy run, you got the coaching and learned how to tackle this type of terrain and you smashed your time by over 23 seconds, which over the corse of a first 2.20 minute run is this a huge improvement!
Is this the moment mike gets addicted to biking
learn to mountain unicycle? Great video, I mountain bike too. I understand the feeling when shaving off that time on a run
Finally new vid yeet
iYnoGT Yeet Yeet!

Learn to animate! Keep up the great work!👍
Chocolate Ice cream Cone animating takes years of practice to become good at it. Though he could try some stickman animations.
Not only is animation very hard and takes a long time, you also can't really set a goal for learning. "Animate (blank)" is too general and you can't really objectively rate the result.
“Black”
“Very Black”
Idk why but i laughed at that sign for a solid minute
It would be awesome to see you combine this challenge with your unicycle challenge. Mountain Unicycling is a ton of fun!

JC_mcsR53 oh he's too mainstream, well that's what they say, when they get jealous they get jealous they confuse it!
Fuck me, your profile picture got me
Daaaamn, those aerial shots were great! Looked beyond professional.
Man your channel shows that if you want to do something you have to practice and practice over and over again and you'll do it
I thought ur coach was a mannequin standing next to u when u were introducing him
I WAS LITERALLY THINKING OF THIS EXACT VIDEO AND IT POPPED UP IN MY FEED!!!! :))
Severi Manninen OMG SAME
Omg did your mother ever tell u not to talk to strangers
Ok
When he said the milestone was 10 seconds off the time I thought he meant just ride it in 10 seconds
XD
Ben is the sweetest and humblest professional ever!
6:28 "more commitment" "less commitment" 😂😂
How about learning to write with your "weaker" hand?
Sounds easy but it requires quite a lot of practice
Mike i like ur channel sooooo mich u entertain me so much i have learnt alot from u, keep up the good work
Oh and there's an application called "Strava" it's an application for self timing on various bike paths.
The dedication makes me so happy!!! My favourite RUclipsr.

"I want 1:59" - That's what Kipchoge thought..... just in hours! 😂
It looks like his suspension is a little too stiff
I boticed that as well but also i ride a dh bike so
It’s not a very good bike in terms of full sus so it’s probably not air sus and more spring
Personal preference guys, I run my setup stiffer than recommended by fox
@@christiandyrvig5789 I just think that he could benefit more if its a bit lighter because its more forgiving, and can really help him when hes learning
Sean Halperin it’s not a preference if u don’t ride a bike much it’s not air sus anyway
