I love Mikes channel because he shows that if you work hard enough, you can start from something you think you will never be able to do, and end up beating your goal.
ZACK extreme I am golfer, and last season I had four blisters on my hand. After discovering a glove for my left hand (you only use a glove for you non dominant hand) I didn’t get as many blisters on that hand. I developed calluses on my right hand and am still working with my left. 🧤
Should look at in mid hop releasing the brake and moving the pedals forward so the pedals don’t click back every hop And I think next to learn is pedal kicks and rear wheel hops over a distance like 1 or 2 meter across as the goal
"Trials riding" on my BMX was one of the most effective ways I could teach people bike control fast, it was a time tested technique and I still teach people how to ride today using this trick.... Basically any bike you want to learn how to control is best practiced when stationary and just hopping around, you can try front to back tire or just back hops then try moving side to side and front to back then go for an obstacle like stairs or a low wall, it's guaranteed to help.
Man, I came across your videos by accident after searching how to mount roller. Gosh, you are not just a cool dude but a real fun guy. Simply pure dead brill!
Your the type of person i love.If you see something,you're determined to do it.This is how the world should be. Be inspired by others. Do the things that you may think are impossible. Do the things that you want to do.This world and its people are beautiful man. God bless you all 💕🙏
This is a great video! When I started riding trials I had the same bad habits. It was like watching my journey through you. The biggest struggle for me was keeping my feet level. What I found out is you have to let off the brake in mid air to re level your feet to stay in one spot.
"you do not need a trial specific bike, only practice will make you better." "so here is my new trial specific bike, and hopefully it'll make me better"
Watching your videos makes me want to get back into biking. A childhood of constantly having my bikes stolen has taken it out of me, but seeing just how much you can do seems like a joy.
You should learn how to sew and everything about making outfits and end go you make you self an outfit and button up jacket, would be fun to watch and do
man, good progress! To be honest, I'm first time on your channel and initially it looked like you will not be able to even do it one second. Really motivating video I must say!
Mike, I have a challenge for you. Nearly 6 years ago I taught myself to windsurf. I took me a looong time but you are very good at learning things quickly. I challenge you to learn windsurfing I'll leave it to you to pick your goal but try it. It's not as easy as you think. Trust me.
Breathe through your nose. I know your doing something demanding but it might be the difference. Only breathe out the mouth when you REALLY can't no longer. Breathe by James Nestor. Sick as bike skills! Absolutely loved it.
Back in the day, my friends and I used to distinguish between a backhop, where you hop on the spot, or backwards, and a "pedal-brake," where you alternate between pedalling and braking to move forwards. If you add a hop to the pedal, you hop forwards. I don't think anyone else calls it a 'pedal-brake', but it was a useful term to distinguish from just hopping on the spot.
A difference I noticed between you and the other guys was when they were up on the back wheel, their pedals were parallel to the ground while yours were always stuck in the position parallel to the floor BEFORE angling the bike up on the back wheel.
Friend: "Hey Mike, you got any party tricks?"
Mike: "this is day one, hour zero"
Holy shit the timming. HE SAID THIS WHILE I WAS READING IT!
Berlyn magbanua woah calm down haha
He knows a lot of party tricks.
Dasator420 same!!

Cool! But the real question is: how's that backflip training going?

Jake Holt watching a Scottish fella fail for ten minutes is a highlight of life.
Wow aren’t you just hilarious
Wait 10 minutes? Felt timeless in all honesty, loved the journey

Love to hear another Scottish accent in these times.

It sounds like the hop too!
And the jumps sound like it.

Odi grips:I only cost 10 pound
7:53 hes using gloves
I do trials and it doesn't matter, you will have troubles with or without gloves till the skin on your hands get dry and thick
I have an idea: learn to memorize a deck of cards in 3 minutes (anyone can learn this with memory techniques)
Good idea
Wym memorize a deck of cards dont we all know the cards numbers and symbols
@@shadowsage6253 no like a particular order of a shuffled pack so you have to memorize 52 cards in order
This is a really good idea I hope he sees your comment
If its shuffled yeah that’s hard but if you put it like 1 2 3 4 5 of hearts etc.

Should look at in mid hop releasing the brake and moving the pedals forward so the pedals don’t click back every hop And I think next to learn is pedal kicks and rear wheel hops over a distance like 1 or 2 meter across as the goal
2 meters is massive for a static gap. Maybe 1 meter would be a better goal

very cool that after (rightly) stating that 30s is a very long time, you still stuck at it and smashed it
When quarantine is over continue to learn to backflip
Watching your videos makes me want to get back into biking. A childhood of constantly having my bikes stolen has taken it out of me, but seeing just how much you can do seems like a joy.
Got my first trials bike for Xmas when I was 10, got stolen 3 days after in my garage…
Mike: One thing I've learned is that you do *not* need a trial specific bike.
Also Mike: This is my new, trial specific bike.
When i feel bad i watch your videos..that's how much i love them!

also mike: **still buys a new bike**
you should do a video about learning morse code, I've been getting into it and it is very interesting please like so mike sees this
I love that you said quick learn and then it took you over 20 days
Mike: "A brand new trials bike wont make you better only practice will."

Hi Mike. I used to ride downhill with you, Alex and Bruce. That was ages ago now. Good to see you again. Much love, Toby :)
Person: How good are you at learning a new skill?
Mike: Yes
*HE IS THE MOST SKILLFUL MAN ON RUclips*
You can try to learn some yoyo triks. That should be easy
Said no one ever
Edit: the first couple ones are easy then it just becomes hell
3:54 i love the fact that the board he learned to kickflip on is on the back wall.
You should learn how to sew and everything about making outfits and end go you make you self an outfit and button up jacket, would be fun to watch and do
Okie dokie another skill let’s learn as well!
thank you for wearing the gloves.. my eyes were burning watching you cycling without em

thats so false stop sharing lies
It’s a joke
Jeez I just realized how painful that would be
@Mike, thanks for being such an inspiration.
This guy is gonna be coolest dad ever.
Anyone else noticed that his bike has one mechanical and one hydraulic brake
As far as I'm aware this bike is a budget option. Generally you need a more powerful front brake than the rear brake in riding.
Jack Robinson for trials it’s opposite! Back brake needs to be stronger!
@@jimi272 the more you know!
I like how you put the saddle hight

My idiot self thought this video was about jumping and hopping backwards
Somebody needs to do that. I'm pretty sure that would be a world's first
Get ew gammy hands of the screen. 3:40
YOU NEED TO GO FOR A WORLD RECORD! IDK WHICH ONE BUT THAT WOULD BE EPIC!
Honestly there is nothing more satisfying than hearing Mike scream in excitement after beating a challenge he set for himself.
An idea for a video: learn to juggle with 4 balls
sooooo its parkour on a bike?....
