Learn how to ride one of these and never worry about bike thieves again.
lol right

Torque thieves wont, vandals will.
Blipblobit I just thought of that and headed down to the comments to show of my genius when I saw your comment

Get someone whos never ridden an actual bike and see how they do. Then after that give them a real bike and see if they think its easier or harder
It would actually be harder to ride it normally since they learned riding it backwards first.
@@DBestPlaysMC really? Oh wow another super smart one here
uwannaknowdawae thanks
Amy-Chan I think that was sarcasm
@@surfyplayer8231 a month too late buddy
Destin: this took me 8 months to learn. How long will it take you?
Mike: lol a few hours
to be fair he didn't learn it nearly in the same level of mastery as Destin did
That guy from next door yea but he had the basic idea and he could do it quicker than destin
That guy from next door yeah but in just a few hours after a few days destin probably couldn’t even ride a foot. look at the ending of the video of him riding on the drone footage. hes doing super well. about as good as destin was doing
@@newaccount90356 It's important to note the difference in their methods though. Destin was at the dame place doing 5 minutes a day according to him. Mike was doing 15 in the start. After two days Mike devoted the time Destin would in 6. And, keep in mind that although it takes more patience, if you don't normalise something foe your brain it's going to take longer to learn. So Mike was not only cramming his time together more, he was spending it more efficiently because he forced his brain to work in a different way than Destin did. With Destin he probably only made a tiny bit of progress each day that vanished after his brain rested for the night. For Mike, he made mire progress each day, and with the same amount vanishing each night he should learn it significantly faster than Destin without affecting other pathways, unlike Destin who tried to rewire the old ones. That's exactly what we see in the video.
To be fair, Destin was only doing it a few minutes a day, while using his brain power for lots of other things (I assume work, cooking, cleaning up, family.) Mike could cram all those months of daily, few minute sessions into several hours over a few consecutive days, with his brain problem-solving fairly consistently. It’s cool, but also apples and oranges.
The bike should pedal backwards too to be a true backwards brain bike
that would be too easy. your literally just peddling backwards, your sense of control will still be there, its just a different method of powering the bike.
there is a guy who did that ruclips.net/video/Q-sJxlnaRvU/видео.html
I I he meant both
Okay now that would fuck with someone hard. I can comprehend doing one at a time but both?
Another idea to add to this would be to add the reverse brake to the gear system so if you try to pedal forwards it engages the brakes. That would make it really difficult to ride because any accidental forwards pedal would stop the bike making you have to restart.
@@ii8541 you could say the same about the backwards steering. Your still strering right? But its backwards. Its just a different method of steering the bike.
At least the pedal movement wasn’t backwards or else you’d be messed up
I would actually think that would be easier. It's learning how to make a continuous movement, as opposed to learning how to make micro-adjustments.
Wayne Lin people have different opinions I see how it would be easier because of our mindset but honestly it would be more complex because you have too focus on more than one thing at a time, like say riding a bike normally for example do you focus on pedaling or steering? Most people focus on steering while on the backwards bike they still have to focus on steering. If you replace the pedal movement you have more than one thing to focus on which can be harder on your brain.
there was a show called crazy cottage on citv that had backwards pedals and steering if I remember but they were trikes tho as it was for kids
I have risen a bike like that and it took me five minutes
Virginia Alston that’s you but I’d think it’ll be harder with backwards steering. Props to you though
This is like playing on inverted sensitivity on call of duty
except invert is a standard way of approaching things like flying and steering, this is just an absurd bike
@man0z I used to, back in the ps1 days, but then one day I played a game normal, and never went back..

I wonder how quickly someone who doesn’t know how to ride a bike would learn this?🤔
Just as fast as they'd learn to ride a normal bike. If you already know how to ride a normal one it would be really hard to get past your muscle memory and do it backwards. It's easy if you already don't have the muscle memory for riding a normal one.
@@your_average_cultured_dude your right because you don't have any muscle memory of a normal bike
@@adcubing1992 I ride a normal bike every day
@@your_average_cultured_dude You indeed are a normal educated human😂🤣
@@your_average_cultured_dude no muscle memory, but steering in the direction your going is fundamentally blue printed in your brain, so it would prolly be harder knowing you don't have any of those motor skills and balance .
This design could single handedly end bike thefts for the few people that own these.
Or at the very least the kind that try to ride away with the bike...
Douglas Thompson very nice 👍
I think thiefs would find them so frustrating that they would be found in the bottom of rivers and canals quite quickly haha
make a switch for invert handling.
If everyone uses these the theifs would know how to use them
They would just steal the wheels and thrash the rest ;-)

If you ride a motorcycle this should be second nature to you. You literally turn left to lean the bike right and vice versa. The harder you turn right, the harder the bike will lean turning left.
This is actually how u control a motorcycle lol.

I feel like the fact that Destin rode nothing but the backwards bike for more than half a year is what made him "forget", or completely flip his normal bike-riding circuits. If you're at it for only 3 days you are not going to replace your instincts as much.

At first I thought Dustin was just really slow but now I’m starting to think there’s something special about your brain - I’m coming up on 8 months of trying to spin a basketball on my fingers almost every day and I’m still nowhere near the 30 second mark, no idea how you learned it so quick.
For how long everyday? This guy goes for hours and hours on end.
I wonder would it be easier to ride this bike no handed if you know how to ride a usual bike no handed.
+Denis Shamray that's actually a very interesting question. I might try it next time.
+Denis Shamray that's actually a very interesting question. I might try it next time.
I've been riding a regular bike for ~20 years and I still can't go more than a few seconds no handed.
Maybe you haven't tried enough, maybe you are not going fast enough, or maybe you have a bike that's slightly off-centered. All of these things can make it really hard to learn unless you really go in for it. But then again, if you don't have a need for it, why waste time and risk of injury to learn it?
A mix of those. I haven't ever had a need or seen much of the benefit to try to learn. I've got a road race bike that is definitely probably not off centered.

Ever since I saw Destin's first video on those bikes, I've wanted to ride one. They look like a real mind bender.
Cool video!
it is a mind bender! Great fun though
OMG this is amazing, two amazing channels coming together! Im so happy this video has come about!
it was great fun to collaborate! :)
This channel inspired me to learn how to ride a bike. Yes I am a guy who learned how to ride a bike when he was 20 years old.
Learn how to wheelie this thing 😂
I think once he's got the wheel up, it'd be just like a regular wheelie since he is no longer using his front wheel to steer, rather his body because the front wheel is not in contact with the ground anymore. But it's still a good challenge :)
Front wheel wheelie with the backwards bike.
@@MrAwwwwYeahhhh he's still using the front wheel to keep balance, so it will be reversed. I think it would still be something to learn separately
Doing wheelies isn't that different
@@MrAwwwwYeahhhh no way! u use the front wheel to balance so much
This is like the inverted X axis setting, but in real life.
This dude is that one guy who finishes all the side-quests before starting the storyline
Had one of these at a mountain bike race and if you could make it 50 feet you got $50
wouldn't it be similar to riding backwards? on a bike
Ameraldas no
Ameraldas if you sit on a bike backwards and push your left hand the bike will go left
Racebeast_S I was not talking about the bike on the video
Racebeast_S and yes think push your left hand the bike will go left as if you we’re on it normally

I literally pause the video at 6:30, then I press the play button because of this comment and my ears died haha
You got me
F
This is how us motorcycle people feel when we try to explain counter steering.
Push the left bar forward, the bike leans left. Very counterintuitive. People never understand it. It's only something you understand when you actually ride a motorcycle or a bicycle fast.
People not understanding Counter steering is probably why so many new riders go straight in corners + target fixation
You counter steer a motorbike also riding in walking speed. You always steer a two-wheeler using countersteering. (But for such as this one in the video. With such a motorbike you would ster into a lean and then countersteer to keep that lean ;)
Now take the trucks off your skateboard and put them on backwards and learn to cruise on that!
Bonus challenge: do it switch
is it difficult the trucks backwards?
It goes the opposite way when you lean.
+Lukas Nilsson Yeah, I tried it and it took me a couple of hours to figure out how to ride it
I'm a year late but this is a good idea
I feel like this was just an issue with destin and mike measuring learning how to ride it differently. Destin did it until he had mastered it and was comfortable with it like a normal bike. mike was just like "i can go straight without falling sorta."
Did you not see the end at all? He seems pretty comfortable with it
@@guitubagrips9719 I would say riding in a straight line is not equivalent to mastering the skill. He needs to start doing turns as well. I would say a few more hours and he will get the hang of turning.
FakeButt look at destin ride the bike in his video. He is hardly more proficient than mike is.
@@FakeButt Straight lines Is harder, because you have to make multiple micro corrections quite quickly.
Turns are easier, you just keep the bars left or right.
Alexander Hewitt yeah
But still he would’ve beaten him By a whole lot sooo
And also riding in turns wasn’t part of the challenge
Congrats! I made one on my own. I had to remember how it felt to react to balance and it took me 2x45mins to learn it🤘

I just wish you'd make more than one video a month
Planning on doubling content output in a few months! Hopefully get to one video a week! It's tough with a full time job, but I'll find the time! Stay tuned!
I'm happy to hear!
Just wanted you to know that you really inspired me to learn new things! Just last week I finally learned to do a flat ground backflip, something I've been wanting to do for the last 5 years but never got around to doing. Thank you for the inspiration! :)
Damn what a fantastic channel to discover, the man that shows that with effort and commitment, almost anything is possible.
Some people seem to think he had an easier time because he didn't have to turn, but I think actual turns would be easier. Turning is a big deal, so you divert your full attention to it. All you have to do is stop and think that's it's backwards and you can turn just fine. It's most likely all the tiny steering corrections to keep going straight that are harder because you do those almost entirely by reflex, and it's really hard to retrain your reflexes.
If you've ever tied your shoelaces together, then momentarily forgot about it and tried to walk normally and tripped, it's probably a lot like that.
Next time you're out on your bike, rest your hands behind the handlebars so you can only push each side forward, not pull back. Then try and turn the bike. You might be surprised to find your brain thinks a lot more about turning than you realise!
(I.e. you actually make tiny corrections before you start a turn.)
Your channel is the best on RUclips. Just need more content!
I also build one and it took me around 6 days to learn to ride it. Thanks for inspiration Mike! :)
