Chris how long has it been since you last skated seriously. Been like 9-10 yrs now for me, but found a deck in my garage and kickflipped in about 5-10 attempts. Suprised i could still stand on a board even; now im thinking about hitting the park each Saturday for exercise/fun but idk im getting older now lol
@@xxgoldmoney well compared to you not that long ago i guess. been 4 years since stopped skating. now i go like every 2 days for 4-5 hours and it works out great! its rough to get back into it though especially when you havent done any other exercise during your break. but i went from 2hours of being able to skate in 3 days to 4-5 hours every day. for me skating was perfect since i do not care for any other sport / exercise.
Interesting point. We love the experience of fear when we are on a roller coaster, but despise and avoid it when we are in school or want to learn something. Maybe we can reverse this expectation and response?
This is a great talk and something we will be sharing with our schools and fans... great to see someone so passionate about skateboarding and education!
This is a great talk. I've seen a few "thinky thoughts about skateboarding" talks and this one does the best job of making the lessons applicable to non-skaters.
Interesting and enjoyable talk! Although personally I think learning is fun. Skateboarding has taught me things which apply to other areas in life, like overcoming fear and having commitment, etc. Also, that failure is OK and the more you fail the closer you are to succeeding. If we wipe out we just try the trick again. Sadly schools tend to favour the 'smart' kids to represent their institution and aren't interested in the education of ALL students regardless of their grades.
skating is fun but it is 95% failure (falling) getting into the flow (of falling till the trick is executed) is misunderstood also I think it is very constructive (in terms of personal development) to do something that makes you scared habitually I skate and golf. I chose not to golf on my highschool's team because I heard most players cheated a lot. There's no faking it on a skateboard, either you learned some stuff, or you suck because you are lazy.
I still remember the rush of adrenaline that made me so scared when trying to skate. I no longer fear the board, I feel so concentrated and driven to learn more. Skateboarding has changed my life in a way that nothing could ever have.
Highly interesting concept. Applying this even just temporarily as a trail I think would massively influence the way many people think. Amazing :) Also sweeeeeeeeet
However - I don't agree that all skills - say gymnastics or high jump / pole vault - hammer can be self taught. There is a coach or a teacher and they do make a difference - read Bounce by Syed if you don't believe that... I do like tis tak - and I do understand what is being said btw
There can be a lot to argue, as well as lot to agree with. If we look to all skateboarding or any other sport championships they have grades or points as they call them. It's all about distinguishing who is better, to create the competition. Teachers are doing that at schools. Skateboarding is just a tool to remind you never to give up, be patient and you'll get their. The flow is just another process.
the problem with his logic is that skateboarding is not for everyone just like math isn't for everyone. When I was in school I did really well with most things other than spelling, it's not due to the weaknesses of the system it's due to my lack of interest and general lack of natural ability. People love to blame the system when they fail in it.
@pointlessfailure Unfortunately, I think his point is that the way things are set it up it's not exactly possible to learn your own pace. I think that was the point of the you can never know how long it's going to take any person to learn any trick. I may be just a "skateboarding nerd" myself, but at least I get it.
Learning can be fun, and it depends on your perception. I really disagree with that point. If you don't enjoy the doing, and the process of skateboarding then there is no point to "do" it even if it is just to learn the trick. The learning curve is there, and you appreciate it and enjoy it, knowing that your goal will be reached, and eventually you will be learning all over again, but this time a on new trick.
Excuse you --Dr. Tae has a PhD in Physics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and has teaching credentials from both Northwestern University and DePaul University. Please share with us the insight you have that positions you to criticize someone who clearly has thought more deeply about things than you....
Doctorate + extreme sports + state the obvious = a new ideology? We don't need some skateboarding nerd to tell us that. Year round school, classes that don't start until 12 pm, good teachers; these are the keys to better education. Not less structure, learn at your own pace/grade yourself.
This man inspired to get back into skateboarding! I am a current graduate student studying Performance Psychology and want to skate again!
DO IT
started again in march and im better than ever!

I’m a current English grad student and started skateboarding when my roommate at the dormitories introduced it to me. I’m still going strong.

This man is a genius; he put into words what i've always noticed about skateboarding and schools but never knew how to explain
I think everyone who skates knows this though

Just sent this you tube to colleagues and my students. Great analogy!

Great point! Cheating is impossible in skating!

most underrated talk.
When you get an F in school the teacher doesn't tell you to try again until you get an A
True
I wish Dr. Tae was my teacher..
"Skateboarding isn't brought to you by the letter A"
awesome, interesting concepts! true stuff
this dude is inspiring! thanks Dr. Tae!
Highly interesting concept. Applying this even just temporarily as a trail I think would massively influence the way many people think. Amazing :) Also sweeeeeeeeet

10/10 DR. Tae Still the best presentation, making one think.

An inspiration.
Yes! Only answering the question in the title lol
I agree with him!!
