      13 Don't watch crash or fail vidios unless you like psyching your self out of success.
      14 Once you have mastered the specific skill DO watch fail videos of that specific skill to absolutely cement the skill by knowing what's right and wrong.

  • @freshturns_snowboarding
    @freshturns_snowboarding 2 года назад +2

    This was a cool episode. I remember in the 7th grade I tried to learn to snowboard and hated it, and thought none of the coaches were saying the right things. It was frustrating, exhausting, and felt like failure. That same summer I learned to skateboard/longboard (mostly on flat ground, but still learned how to turn with my legs), and I just watched tons of snowboarding movies, thought about how boarding was gonna feel, etc., and the VERY FIRST day of my second season it was just about easier than walking. All done by mental connection, not ruminating on things like "point your front arm where you want to go" or "shoulders over knees over ankles" thins. Granted, I was already pretty athletic due to other sports so the "athletic position" was already easy, but the progress that your brain can make without much physical practice is pretty crazy.

    there was this one kid once who wheelied across the entire car park to a bike wash station. It made me so annoyed that I swore to learn to wheelie no matter what.
    Took me almost a year of failing, but now I can finally annoy my mates.

    @ToddSwagerty 2 года назад

    This is a good start to the series. I think the step that I have failed at is #2, make a plan. For example, a few years ago, I wanted to learn how to manual. I took an afternoon and tried for 3-4 hours and wore myself out mentally and physically. I never went back and tried again. If I set a plan to practice 15 minutes a day, I think I can get it, and maybe within the 3-4 hours of total time I have tried in my life. I suppose I may want to also "Break the skill down" and make a wooden manual practice stand.

    @bonzsk 3 года назад +2

    awesome vid! For the series though ... I'd really like to have a breakdown on how riders use their (knees) legs to control, turn the bike, off camber, "turn with the rear", etc. Watching World cups and even your ghost camera ... Every time top riders use their knees really differently from the "Group B" (which is not like that group are bad riders at all) and yet NO ONE has even done a video on this skill ... god knows how many times I've put this comment in GMBN videos and numeros other youtubers without a response. Hope you do something on it
