the bike in this video is one of the cheapest trial bikes you can buy! the point is that its a hard-tail meaning no rear suspension, if you can find one cheaper id be impressed!
Mike, you're insane. I've been watching your videos for quite a while now and I'm really speechless. The way you learn things so quick is mindblowing, and the fact that anyone can do this is even more crazy. One guy in the comments wrote "He's already known how to do all of these tricks since he was born". And part of that is actually true. You already know that you will do anything that you set your mind to before even attempting to do it. Over the years you gathered so much confidence in yourself, that you can learn pretty much anything you want insanely fast. And i trully believe that anyone can do this, if we, like many like to say "set our minds to it". The problem is that most of us don't know how to do it, including myself. Anyway, its 2:40am and im probably talking nonsense, but still i'd like to understand with what mentallity you approach each skill you want to learn. If anyone actually read this, have a nice day. And for those who got annoyed by this comment, well, sorry but it's your fault not mine.
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.
First, let me clear something, I love Mike and have been watching him for 3 years now. 4:09 this is why video footage of yourself doing something is very useful as it helps you see your mistakes. If you take the seat and the part of the wheel which contacts the ground and extend it, you can see that Mike's centre of gravity (hip) is off the line. You want it to be on it.
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. 🧤
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.
So I went a really long time without being able to wheelie. Sometimes I would practice for maybe 15 minutes with friends but that just doesn't cut it. About 3 weeks ago I started going out daily and doing wheelies on a quiet stretch of road 10x back and forth. Not stopping before I did the whole road 10x. Would hurt my wrist afterwards every time. After 14 days with 3 days of rest in between I actually leaned how to do it. So if you want to learn a wheelie you need to practice every day and set yourself a practice goal. A couple wheelies a couple of times a month will not cut it.
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!
I see subtle comedy goes over most people’s heads, it was clearly an intended joke but people are acting like they’re some comedic genius for pointing out the contradiction.
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.
"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.
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
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 💕🙏
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!
"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"
This channel exist to teach us to never give up. This taught us that even the most ordinary person, can learn everything through training and figuring out the trick behind all these moves. You just need the patience and a heart for it.
Hey mike, I know this is a relatively old video but I had a pretty good idea for a video for you, I would recommend combining your skill of hopping on a trials bike and going up stairs to hop on your back wheel up one set of stairs. This I think is really entertaining and I would think quite a challenge, but you’re genuinely one of the most well rounded smart people on UA-cam so I think you got this! Needless to say I love your channel man! Keep up the cool work! ( I do sincerely apologize for putting this on more than one video but I was determined for you to see it as I think it’s a pretty cool challenge) Have fun if you decide to do it!
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
You know, coming from your staircase climbing video, I found this really inspiring. I will be moving to California (Really dumb right) and coming from Canada growing up jumping dirtbikes because we have land for days, I realized I'll need a new hobby. I was thinking bike and I (also) have always wanted to learning how to balance on the back wheel via hopping and going to that 'endo' style. You the man Mike... many years following you on youtube as well as skillshare - and I hope to balance on the bike for 30 seconds. Even if it takes me two months since... motocross/streetbike background and not pedal bikes lol.

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.
Mike :"already learning 10 new bike trick"
Me. :" still strugle in the wheelie"
Dont compare your level one to someone elses level 10
To be fair mate I’ve ridden mtb for like 5 years, I’m good on trails but I still can’t wheelie
@@RurDog same
Yeah i can wheelie pretty good on a dirtbike bjt when i get on a mtb i can barely lift the front wheel
So I went a really long time without being able to wheelie. Sometimes I would practice for maybe 15 minutes with friends but that just doesn't cut it. About 3 weeks ago I started going out daily and doing wheelies on a quiet stretch of road 10x back and forth. Not stopping before I did the whole road 10x. Would hurt my wrist afterwards every time.

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
