Yea for real!!! Thanks to L. RON HUBBARD FOR MAKING THIS ALL POSSIBLE. Yo shoutout Aaron kyro for keeping this Scientology skate thing going. Let’s get everyone into Scientology now! Yay
As a 41 year old man who gave up skating over 20 years ago I can’t believe how many of your videos I’m watching Mitchie - you have a gift brother! It’s so refreshing to see someone so talented at a sport teaching so effectively at such a high level; I imagine it feels really natural and simple to you, but I can assure you, what you’re doing when your teaching (and the way you interact with students to educate, encourage and inspire) is absolutely phenomenal. I used to watch videos with you in (xgames etc), see how technically gifted you were and think clearly your gift was to skate…. now I see that that was prep work for your real gift, which is to teach. Only downside of this business model is it’s not scalable, as there’s no one as good as you who can teach and inspire as well as you…. So there’s not enough time in the day or countries you could visit to share your gift with others in person! That’s why the UA-cam is so effective and helpful though, and we’re all so grateful for it. Keep safe man, look after yourself, and keep on doing what you do. You deserve all the happiness in the world man. Thanks Mitchie Brusco, from the bottom of my heart. The world needs you brother!
This dude is taking skateboarding in a great direction…supportive and really helping these kids grow and have conference. Good work on the board and good work in the world.
There are very few people on this planet that have the ability to teach while leaving their ego at the door. You sir are one of them. Talking the talk and walking the walk while showing people of different abilities the groundwork they need to progress 👌🏻👌🏻 P.S Where were you in the late 80's early 90's? I could have done with your coaching then 😂😂😂
I stopped skating almost 4 years ago. And after watching a lot of this channel, I found the drive and passion I have for skateboarding again. This morning I got up and went straight to the skate park, and started practicing transitions and rolling out fakie. An older guy showed up and saw that I was struggling with carving the bowl, and he gave me advice to make it easier on myself. He asked me if I watch Skate IQ, to which I said “Hell yeah I do” 😂 I cannot find words to explain how much this channel has improved how I approach skating, how I skate, and my motivation to get out and get on the board. You’re doing god’s work Mitchie. Thank you ❤
I don't speak English very well, but when I watch 10-20 or even 30 minute videos in my language I can't understand the theory of the trick and how to do it correctly, but you... bro you have absolute talent I learned through ollie to kickflip from your shorts, I started to stand better on a skateboard and just skate cooler just because of your advice. thanks for your creativity, i adore you!
2:05:51 I ain’t gonna slide past this without saying nothing😭 that aside this was a great video that covers a little bit of everything. And you can really tell Mitch cares for his students with how supportive and smart he is as he’s conveying his lessons to these kids.
Mitchie is proof that most skaters are not good at teaching. This is the best skate instruction I have ever seen and it confirmed a lot of what I kind of discovered by trial and error.
I remember seeing Mitchie's first mega ramp appearance. I remember seeing him land the 1260. He is now making sure future skaters can call skateboarding their own for generations to come. This is the most venerable path he could have chosen. I will no longer be calling him "Little Mitchie Brusco" nor just "Mitchie." I am proud and honoured to call him "Coach." You humble us all, Coach.
So awesome to see Valley, Pepper and Mills as well as the rest just learn so much... not just the tricks, but how to overcome the mental battle and just be present. Mitchie..... well done again... you're patience and respectfulness is just all time...
Dude, you are an excellent teacher! I’m 35 and always been a street skater. Our city just built a skatepark so I’m wanting to improve my transition skating. I’ve never had a coach before and hearing all your methods of communicating techniques are spot on what I want to hear! Keep up the wonderful work. You’re great with them kids too bro. I wish I had someone like you around when I was a kid.
Oh wow, I always assumed you were in the states (or Canada) because of the accent. I’m on the Gold Coast. I’ll try and get up there with my son one day
So, I just read this book "The Talent Code" and a lot of it has to do with the difference between a good coach and a bad coach. Good coaches, the book says, sometimes withhold positive reinforcement. You'll notice Mitchie isn't always complimenting students even when they have good tries. When the reinforcement is random, and always appropriate (no "good try" when the kid does half effort), it elicits more out of the athlete. SUPER sick to get to see him coach unedited. Def check out the book if you can too (Mitchie would prob learn a lot from it as well). (Another thing the book mentions is to only make one correction at a time, and use very specific language when you do it. You'll notice a lot of that in this vid too.)
I would really love a video from you about handling fear in skateboarding. I personally can overcome any technical issue with time when learning new tricks but the fear is what stops me. It is most visible with drop ins. I can do them on really small ramp but on larger one I'm stuck. It works with assistance from someone else (they don't event have to hold my handls, they can just stand beside me) but when in comes to commiting on my own I just cannot move, like I'm frozen. I would really prefer to just try and fall but I physically can't.
Same issue for me... Droping in a Big bowl, with someone down on it pretending he would catch if I fall (but actually doing nothing) and drop again and again... He goes away and then fears come again...
i have this issue too. i was scared learning to drop in on a 2ft quarter, but had some kids coach me through it. a few days later im on a 4-5 ft mini ramp closer to home with my wife and buddy trying to get me through my fear. 2 things got me through it. 1st, falling.... something about falling shows you that you can get back up, and that its not so bad. (granted i was icing my hip for the next week) 2nd, at my wife's suggestion, i turned my music way up. it helped really block out everything else. the jam was so present i didn't have any more room for the fear. it was pretty wild, but now when im feeling scared trying something, i hit that volume +++ hope it helps
Just try not to sit at the top of the ramp and think about it too much! The longer youre up there the more time you have to over-think. When i was,getting used to dropping in on vert, id try to get up there, ant the board and jist go before i get too hyped
@@MatthewDavis-p2p Yes, you are right, the not-overthinking is the key and sometimes works for me. But I need to have a "good day" for that. One small tip from me, which may help someone else. It helped me to drop on ~2ft ramp. When I stand on top of ramp and stare at skateboard I'm scared shitless. What helped me was to move my body towards the skateboard, so that my head is somewhere near the nose of the skateboard (you don't have to commit yet, you still stand on your back foot so it is not so scary). This changes perspective and the drop does not seem so scary anymore. Unfortunately this does not work for me on larger ramp :(
50:55 something unlocked in my brain. Its like youre doing a front foot jump onto your front foot. The back foot is just shoving the board a little. He said it never flips when you keep your foot on the board but thats my problem. When I keep it on the board it tends to turn and pop too much.
Yes I am still struggling with it flipping. Honestly it doesn't flip it when I use my toes on the edge of the board to pull it but when i actually slide with the my foot on the board i usually end up popping too hard and flipping the board primo-ish. I think I dont place my foot dead center when shuving hence why it turns on me but not sure.
alex heads has really changed over the yrs used to basically live at te park used to have a 10ft halfpipe a bank and a quarter pipe then extended the quarter added a sweet lil mini that you could transition to bank back when skatebiz was just over the rd was always mad fun hangin with mates skatin bmx and rollerblades
@@Skateiq it used to be a real clicky park but for the most part everyone got along. But dude full credit to you with your style of teaching. i've watched a few of your vids and the way you methodically break it down and help these kids become better skaters is fantastic, you even got me back on the board rolling around
Hey Mitchie. Thank you for your videos. Are you coming to Sydney anytime? My 4 yo son has recently discovered skateboarding and has some talent. Would LOVE to bring him to your class.
I need to know if the green deck dude dropped in or not. He deserves that confidence boost, stuff like that is life changing.Hopefully he did it, he was dropping the big bowls no problem.
best moment of the whole video (besides seeing kids become more and more successful) was "ok it is harder, but he doesn't need to know that"... laughed out loud at work
@@Skateiq 2:27:13 on a completely different note, i feel for little homie trying to drop in. I finally learned to drop in on regular stuff and i spent the next 2 weeks icing my hip. what got me over the mental barrier was pulling up Superman by Goldfinger, turning it up so i couldn't hear or think about anything else, and putting it on repeat.
@@Skateiq 🗣️You the man! Just a little constructive criticism…during the “kick flip clinic” , I noticed you had a hard time getting the students to form a line and take turns 1 at a time. Marking the floor with painters tape in sections to create a physical barrier for them to visually see might make it easier. (tape can be removed easily without damaging the floor) Also , instructing everyone not to skate when they’re idle and for them to wait until it’s their turn. It seemed like you became frustrated a couple of times after giving clear instructions, just for the student to flail around like they didn’t hear you even after you asked “does that make sense?”. Separate those students from the others, they’re only going to hold back those who are serious and could use the proper coaching. Schedule them for a different day that way they don’t feel discriminated against. Do not call them out for it because they will not be able to comprehend what they’re doing wrong and it might jeopardize your reputation. Lol, 🫣 … GOOD LUCK.👍
I got no excuses
Same bro same
I do, I'm 36 and a single fall will put me out for a month. I wish I was 10
Mitch, this isn't just a masterclass in teaching skating--this is a masterclass in how to TEACH. You're BRILLIANT, mate!
Agree
Exactly. I've never seen anyone explain skateboarding the way he does

Must have a good memory of how long it took to master all this.
This dude is taking skateboarding in a great direction…supportive and really helping these kids grow and have conference. Good work on the board and good work in the world.
I could watch this all day. Feels like I’m hanging out there with him for the day. You’re an awesome guy Mitch!
Yeah I agree!!
Best teacher in the world. So empathic, nice and friendly, and you are feeling those accomplishments of your skaters! That‘s how its gonna be done.

Mitchie is proof that most skaters are not good at teaching. This is the best skate instruction I have ever seen and it confirmed a lot of what I kind of discovered by trial and error.
i was wondering which direction this was gonna go, thank you!
The fact that I'm 40 years old and still learned from this video is a testament to Mitchie's teaching
You broke the teaching ceiling again Mitchy your great!

@SKATEiQ Truly a privilege. Thank you for not just resting on your laurels. We're all so proud of you.
hahah the carnage of that kickflip clinic section, you've got more patience than most great to see
Mitchie what you are doing it's amazing, you are a legend!
I LOVE watching you teach skateboarding.
Thank you so much for uploading this. These kids did fantastic!!
👏
this is so wholesome my chest hurts
You are just next level in motivating me to Learn and progress in my skateboarding journey ! Thanks !
Valley is the hero of this video! Great stuff Mitchie!
for sure mvp
im so glad i found this page this guy is a master teacher, me and mykid are going to love watching and learning from you thank you
I’m happy you guys are liking the long forms ! I personally love them because it just shows the raw strategy the best
No way! Didn’t realise there would be footage of this available
Thankyou!!
These kids are so good!!
They are so sick
Mitchie your teaching style is unstoppable! Great video, thanks for sharing this day.
Thanks! Happy you like it
The honesty at 46:39. "That one was'nt very good" lol had me dying. This is the honesty the kids need and don't get now-a-days lol.
kids respond best when you're just a straight shooter tbh. a lot less egotistical than adults in my estimation.
So awesome to see Valley, Pepper and Mills as well as the rest just learn so much... not just the tricks, but how to overcome the mental battle and just be present.
Mitchie..... well done again... you're patience and respectfulness is just all time...
Your content got my old creaky bag-o-bones skating better than ever within a few months.
This is perfect good wholesome vibes for me to put on in the background while working and picking up some skateboarding and teaching tips while I do
this is a goldmine!
such good instructions
Also a wonderful mix between group and solo education! 😊
omg im so proud of all of them!
so cool seeing them thrive with your encouragement and nourishment 😊😊😊
crazy how you do 9h days
must be exhausting working that without interruption
This video easily deserves a million views. Then each viewer should use it as a reference/ playbook whenever they need it

Amazing. You are an inspiration. I would so love for me and my son to do a skate camp with you. Please come to the UK! Please!
Thanks!
Mitchie, You're just such a cool teacher! It's always so satisfying to watch your videos! I wish you visit Czech Republic some time!
that would be so sick!
Please make more videos like this. It was so great to watch, and it inspired me so much. These kids are fearless!
its so great to be apart of
You are the man Mitchie.Thank you for this video
Holy s*** I just realised this is MITCHIE BRUSCO! I’ve been watching this dude since we was winning Xgames as a sperm! You’re the king Mitch!
Thank you! Haha this cracked me up
A few minutes in and it’s crazy to see how good kids are
Mostly commenting for the algorithm
3:55:27, 30 seconds Great advice on overcoming fear and new challenges! Great job Mitchie
Thanks!
Thank you Mitchie for all of these videos.
no problem i cant believe it's getting the traction that it is
All these kids are so comfortable skating transition
Great teacher and the students were also sick! Made me smile when they learned something new 😊
