Chris Ramsay wow Chris you watch mike also I learned to do magic from watching your UA-cam videos! I got the inspiration to try out magic from mike. Learning new things everyday
Hey, when you tried to learn how to make fire, why didn't you use the forge lighting blacksmith skill that Alec showed you? And congrats for reaching the mile
I still remember a story from back in the 80's where someone caught up to Mike Tyson running at 4 in the morning. He asked Mike "Why are you out here running so early on this cold dark morning?" Mike answered, "Because I hate it".
@@speedybasket5205 Because to be the greatest you have to get used to things you really hate. Mike Boyd succeeded over something his body rejected by adapting. This attitude drives success.
Honestly I don't think you're average. I mean you're an inspiration, you took everything in an average person and youre showing everyone how to do extraordinary things with it. You are one of the most amazing humans I've ever seen. You're extraordinarily ordinary and will be a major inspiration to many people to change their lives.
I wouldn't say extraordinary, but he's above average, simply because of his dedication, though unlike the average person each achievement is a video, which is minor fame and decent money.
No he is what we call a dabbler, as someone who dabbles a certain craft. Their kind never masters a certain craft but merely get familiar of it then forget.
Oh, a travelling show like this should be more available than Nursery Rhyme, pointless drama and rant, and I tell you what, real peace would be literally happen if everyone shows nature instead of an imbecile viral for money and view... but god forbid that :/
To be fair though, it is now his job to have a high amount of discipline and determination, his videos wouldn't be successful and he would have no income if he failed every one of his videos. He has quite a bit on the line. IE- Could I go out right now in my poor fitness shape and run 2 miles? Hell no. Could I go out right now and run 2 miles with someone in front of me in a car holding a briefcase with 50 grand in it? Yes.
@@rdizzy1 easier said than done. what you just described was basically a job but not everyone has commitment and discipline to go to work everyday with the same spirit and big goals
Fakhri Nail Yes, but the point is that it is easier to be committed and disciplined when you are being paid to do so, with (potentially) millions of people watching, AND your job is on the line compared to just me attempting to do it at home for nothing but self pride on the line. His job is on the line if he fails to complete these challenges he sets out for himself, imagine how popular his youtube channel would be if he failed every single one of these videos. (Not very popular)
rdizzy1 Money is a great incentive, and I'm sure that's no small part of what keeps him going. Still, don't you reckon he was on UA-cam making videos for next to nothing for several years before a large monetary incentive came into play? I would be careful pinning his determination on money, since that could easily manifest itself in your head as an excuse for not taking on a challenge. There're some people who get tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars a month for talking behind a microphone, and their job looks easy as hell on the surface. As casual spectators, we don't see the years of grinding that built up what that public figure is today.
People dont climb mountains because they are there. People climb mountains because other people cant or because other people won't because trying is a harder path. Saw it on "beautiful idiot" from pinkbike on yt would recommend watching
@@jana31415 have to agree with you there. Personally mountain climbing isn't really my thing but going the way others haven't is way cooler. I think if I were to climb it would be in stuff no one else has some before. What's the point of someone else has alre done it?
This felt... monumental. Not just like any achievement, but a significant one. I teared up a little when you made it, this is impressive and made me so happy for you! Your drive really serves as an inspiration.
My thoughts exactly. I got emotional watching Mike push through and do something remarkable. Made me look at my achievements and think about what I can do to push myself harder. Really inspirational.
To add something from the moon speech I think is quite important: "Many years ago the great British explorer George Mallory, who was to die on Mount Everest, was asked why did he want to climb it. He said, 'Because it is there.'" -John F. Kennedy, Moon Speech, September 12, 1962
I'm an open water swimmer (for the club featured in the video - YeAABA) and when asked why we do what we do, our response is "Because we're not all there"
Hi Mike, I know this video is old and this will most likely get buried but I just wanted to say that last year, when I was 10, I swam 1.1 miles in open water with no wetsuit, just trunks, hat and goggles . It was about 12-13°c, maybe even a bit colder, I swam the entirity of the distance in an even better time than expected. I truly understand the feeling of elation you felt when you had finished it, I have done it a few more times this year. I love your channel, thanks for the inspiration, I remember watching this last year when I was acclimatising (for about a year at that time) I had not attempted the swim yet. I was ridiculously nervous but one day, myself and my dad did it. We have done it a few more times now and I must say I'm really enjoying it. Thanks from Ireland🇨🇮 🇨🇮 🇨🇮🍀🍀👍👍👍
DEAR MIKE: I was wondering if you could do a video about how the series learn quick has effected you mentally, presumably for the better. I’m really interested to hear how doing this effects the confidence of someone.
Do a Learn To Dive. Maybe a milestone could be to do a single flip from a 3m springboard. Not one of the super high platforms because that may be too dangerous for a beginner. I think trying the lower board would be a good and fun challenge
Out of the all youtubers, you Mike Boyd I respect the most. You spend days, weeks, months at a time for just one video to prove something and to push your limits way above anything else everyday. You're a true inspiration to me and perhaps to most of us. I was literally tearing when you reached the other side, so happy that you made it safe! Keep up the great work! With honest respect, from Romania.
Yeah no you see, that's the problem. Every able-bodied human is capable of just this and much much more. That includes you. Determination and discipline are skills that can be learned.
Hi Mike my name is Herman. I was born with a birth defect called spina bifida and I have over came many obstacles that my doctors said I wouldnt accomplish like getting a regular high school diploma and I surpassed that goal that they said I would not be able to obtain by getting my Masters Degree in Accounting. Actually today I have finally purchased a Rubiks Cube and will begin practicing to figure out how to solve it. This video was very motivational towards me beginning this new challenge. Thank you for your videos because they demonstrate anything is possible when you put your mind to it.
learn to write with two hands at once learn to figure skate learn to drift learn to break a board with your palm learn to juggle on unicycle learn to throw things (shurikens/swords/spears/knives/darts) learn to sprint fast learn to type fast
Igmarck Torres no it’s not there’s plenty of ambidextrous people that can do it. One of the president wrote Latin with one hand and Greek with the other at the same time
This genuinely made me cry at the end with how enthusiastic you were and reminded me about how fantastic, unique (maybe) and mental we are as humans Thanks Mike
This guy can prove us that power of mind and determination is everything. Thank you Sir, for inspiring many many people and proving that almost everything is possible. Keep up with this. Massive RESPECT!
You're an actual legand Like 'grandchildren gather around. Today I will tell you about the man that crossed scotland, learned how to throw axes and saber beer in less that 40 days'

Mike you are the best teacher of the subject "Nothing is impossible" and I am one of your student. Not the best student but I will work harder than anyone. I really love the way you inspire me to work hard every day. (Sorry for my bad english)
Good English, except: the first instance of "student" should be "student*s*", and you could add "I'm" to the beginning of your second sentence, but it's not that important.
Honestly Mike you learn a lot of new skills fast but I think your biggest achievement has to be the improvement in your video production quality..... Next level stuff man.
This is really motivational. The "not because it's easy, but because it's hard" section followed by footage of you really not wanting to swim, and then the big success, makes me feel like I could find motivation in struggle and basically take on anything.
In my head I was like "go mike you can do it. You will do it because you ARE Mike Boyd!! I'm so proud of you, you are such an inspirational and spectacular person, and honestly I'm not sure I can put it into words. I love ya man :)
I love it! What a great video! You’re videos are an inspiration to me, it’s not just the skills, it’s the film making and the editing too. Great video.
Mike, you make me feel like I can do anything you make me want to really work hard to achieve my goal. Thanks for inspiring me to do things that are unimaginable! Thanks you are such a great role model and my greatest influence!
There is a challenge at my Boy Scout camp where you had to swim across the lake and back four times (1 mile) and the lake has a cold spring under so the lake is freezing and few complete it each year. You inspired me to take it on
This has actually inspired me to want to swim and learn how to swim. My technique in the water is about as close as a stapler flailing around in the water. But seeing Mike learn and become more efficient in swimming has gotten me motivated to pick up swimming again.
This has to be your best video yet considering the fact that all your videos are brilliant but this is a whole new level. Keep learning , Keep inspiring Mike :)) PS - I am afraid of the water, But I am going to learn how to swim now thank you :))))
Mike I even don’t know you or subscribed to your channel, however, I felt so happy for you to achieve your goal of crossing 1 mile. You are such an inspiration to the others, wish you all the best.
Average Mike. What a great idea your channel is... Thanks Mike. The reminder of Kennedy's speach was just what I needed today. Congrats on swimming the channel. 1 mile in those conditions is really doing something.
Mike, I have an idea for a video. Learn to do a firewalk! It's really dangerous tho so make sure you consult with someone who knows what they're doing before attempting it. like this comment if you agree. (Also this way he'll have gone to the extremes of the temperatures)
its not that stupidly dangerous, as long as you get your wick on, and dont dawdle. but dont run, or you'll be mashing the embers into your feet. as long as you wait for the fire to burn down, the embers will be covered in ash, which is a great insulator. and foot skin is pretty strong, as long as you go out oftn, and use it.
Its not that hard I did it when I was 7 but first i put my feet in cold water and then in sand. It didn't hurt at all but would I do it again? Hell no, now its scary lol but with right mindset everyone can do it
WELL DONE - HIGHLY INSPIRATIONAL - Your video was recommended to me when I mentioned (on fb) that I might learn to swim and swim the channel on my 70th birthday (nearly 3 years away).
Hey mike, I use to swim completely and would like to offer some advice if you continue swimming. You are crossing your arms over the center of your body. This greatly reduces the power you get from each stroke. To be the most efficient you want to make ever stroke stronger. You can measure your practice by trying to get the least amount of strokes in a length of the pool. Love the videos, love swimming, hope to see more.
Man I feel cold just watching this. I jumped into a fjord in New Zealand (water was in in the low 40s I only know this because there was “reverse aquarium” which had a thermometer) and it cuts right through you. Your body goes into shock so fast. I literally jumped in, regretted it instantly and swam back. Was probably in there for like 10-15sec. Respect.
Well done Mike. In my opinion your real achievement is your swimming technique. Nobody I have seen as attend such a beautiful technique in such a short space of time full stop that is the real achievement. You are teachable.
This is great, I kinda felt the victory with you, congratulations. Your videos make me think that maybe I should put more challenge in my life back, like you're doing. Thank you for sharing your motivation with us.
Also very good technique remember to reach all the way out on your stroke Head looks at the ground this will make you more aerodynamic Manual is also big SAY POSITIVE
I am currently in a room at 26 degrees celsius. Your videos gave me chills. It was really satisfying to see you achieve that amazing goal. Well played!
Ronnie Eriic almost certainly ripped the instrumental from the other video that Mike did with this song in. This time Mike dropped a fair bit more of the track and I neeeeeed to know what it is.
Hey! Thought I might help you out as I spent quite a while tracking down this song from the last video Mike used this in. The song name is "The Long Walk" by Jimmy Whalsteen. You can find it on Epidemic Sound.
Just discovered you as I'm just trying to take up open water swimming and struggled from the cold. Now I've found the answer and found a brilliant new channel to binge. Mike, you are brilliant 👍

Maybe that’s his point. He’s just an average guy trying to accomplish and do greater than average things🤷🏽♀️

I agree soooooo much
This is by far one of the best channels on youtube! Well done Mike! Amazing!!!!

Hi captain Joe, I love your channel it's amazing. One video I loved was when you wanted to see if a passenger could fly a plane. The video was cool 😎

Caspar Valentine wtf?
he brought the dead person with him on the swim so the dead guy can experience his achievement

No, but it was on the cremated guy's bucket list. "Get up Mike Boyd's nose. Check."
Might as well add it now that he’s done it

"Because it's there"

Montage Central says the fortnite player who apparently can’t swim.
ur video was the reason i got out of bed and went to my physio session today! and even though im in pain i feel so much better in my soul thank u!
Mike, you make me feel like I can do anything you make me want to really work hard to achieve my goal. Thanks for inspiring me to do things that are unimaginable! Thanks you are such a great role model and my greatest influence!
I would like to see you do an iron man marathon
you're confusing an iron man with a marathon an iron man is i think about 3.5km swimming 180km biking and them a marathon(42km)running
@@josi2842 Exactly he was training to swim and I suggested for him to take one step further to train for the Iron man Marathon
Brute forcegt but the iron man is one thing and a marathon is another thing
yeah the iron man is super hardcore
@@josi2842 iron man consists of 3 sport marathons, what's wrong with you
Mike start learning drifting in a car? Plus love you vids....I knew you when you had 100 thousand subs
I would love to see him become a drift god
Same here

Seeing you reach the end of the river brought me to tears. You're an inspiration Mike. Please never stop being you.
There is a challenge at my Boy Scout camp where you had to swim across the lake and back four times (1 mile) and the lake has a cold spring under so the lake is freezing and few complete it each year. You inspired me to take it on
Chris Last name did you make it?
You sir, just achieved to be apart of my inspirations. I am so glad I subscribed a year ago. You're amazing.
This has actually inspired me to want to swim and learn how to swim. My technique in the water is about as close as a stapler flailing around in the water. But seeing Mike learn and become more efficient in swimming has gotten me motivated to pick up swimming again.
9:22 perfect timing for a shark to jump out of the water and eat him! Hahahah!
This has to be your best video yet considering the fact that all your videos are brilliant but this is a whole new level. Keep learning , Keep inspiring Mike :))
PS - I am afraid of the water, But I am going to learn how to swim now thank you :))))
Zohaib Akhter More power to you man :)
Mike I even don’t know you or subscribed to your channel, however, I felt so happy for you to achieve your goal of crossing 1 mile. You are such an inspiration to the others, wish you all the best.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍your the sort of person people look up to
Man, You're Great! You can do anything!!♥️
Average Mike. What a great idea your channel is... Thanks Mike. The reminder of Kennedy's speach was just what I needed today. Congrats on swimming the channel. 1 mile in those conditions is really doing something.
Mike, I have an idea for a video. Learn to do a firewalk! It's really dangerous tho so make sure you consult with someone who knows what they're doing before attempting it. like this comment if you agree. (Also this way he'll have gone to the extremes of the temperatures)
its not that stupidly dangerous, as long as you get your wick on, and dont dawdle. but dont run, or you'll be mashing the embers into your feet. as long as you wait for the fire to burn down, the embers will be covered in ash, which is a great insulator. and foot skin is pretty strong, as long as you go out oftn, and use it.
Its not that hard I did it when I was 7 but first i put my feet in cold water and then in sand. It didn't hurt at all but would I do it again? Hell no, now its scary lol but with right mindset everyone can do it
They check you for static electricity before entering the factory
WELL DONE - HIGHLY INSPIRATIONAL - Your video was recommended to me when I mentioned (on fb) that I might learn to swim and swim the channel on my 70th birthday (nearly 3 years away).
Hey mike, I use to swim completely and would like to offer some advice if you continue swimming. You are crossing your arms over the center of your body. This greatly reduces the power you get from each stroke. To be the most efficient you want to make ever stroke stronger. You can measure your practice by trying to get the least amount of strokes in a length of the pool. Love the videos, love swimming, hope to see more.
subbed. this guys a pretty chill dude.
watching you complete these tasks with such determination makes me push myself harder with regular stuff like school and such
After 2 years, I still come back to this video for inspiration
YOU HAVE TO TRY A TRIATHLON
try a TRYathlon
Every triathlon racer says this :P
I can barely take a shower correctly
Nyla Janae this made me giggle way to much
I know. The weird thing is, I get this involuntary urge to sing.
I can't even take a shower correctly, I think there's still shampoo in my hair
You need to practice more then once a month to get it right
@@lnopia oh... so that's where I went wrong.
Man I feel cold just watching this. I jumped into a fjord in New Zealand (water was in in the low 40s I only know this because there was “reverse aquarium” which had a thermometer) and it cuts right through you. Your body goes into shock so fast. I literally jumped in, regretted it instantly and swam back. Was probably in there for like 10-15sec. Respect.
Well, I never thought of myself as someone who'd say they idolise someone. But that seems to have changed.
Just 10 mins before vid was uploaded but I didn't even get a notification,it just popped up on my home page.
Yessss,😀😀😀😁😁😁😁😄😄😄

Well done Mike. In my opinion your real achievement is your swimming technique. Nobody I have seen as attend such a beautiful technique in such a short space of time full stop that is the real achievement. You are teachable.
Average Mike's mindset is far from average.
I love how his brother is one of my physics teachers!!
Man I've watched like 50 of your videos in the past week, but this is the only one that made me tear up. Way to go man.
1:06 there’s a freaking whale, dolphin or large fish
damn.
It's a river, it's not a dolphin or a whale
Connor Ferguson I’m from Dundee and it’s definitely a dolphin they are everywhere in the tay
Connor Ferguson how is it a river THERE IS A FUCKING FINNNNNNN
You get them a lot in Scotland, particularly the firth of Clyde. 🏴
Man your amazing I mean the dedication you put in this is just amazing. Godbless🙏
This is great, I kinda felt the victory with you, congratulations. Your videos make me think that maybe I should put more challenge in my life back, like you're doing. Thank you for sharing your motivation with us.
Mike:this is gonna be easy.
Cold water:im bout to end this mans whole career.
Also very good technique remember to reach all the way out on your stroke
Head looks at the ground this will make you more aerodynamic
Manual is also big SAY POSITIVE
He was going a bit slow though
Hydrodynamic not aerodynamic
I am currently in a room at 26 degrees celsius. Your videos gave me chills. It was really satisfying to see you achieve that amazing goal. Well played!
Your accent is just golden!
Mike, Im dying to know what that song is after 8:52 I love it so much, I love the video too but this eating me up inside its so good.
Same, please someone mike or whoever tell us!
same
Ronnie Eriic almost certainly ripped the instrumental from the other video that Mike did with this song in. This time Mike dropped a fair bit more of the track and I neeeeeed to know what it is.
Hey! Thought I might help you out as I spent quite a while tracking down this song from the last video Mike used this in. The song name is "The Long Walk" by Jimmy Whalsteen. You can find it on Epidemic Sound.
jurgen951 OMFG DUDE I LOVE YOU! Seriously, holy crap...im about to cry. Thank you so much for all your effort!
wtf i can't believe I cried for this, all those support given when Mike's facing his hardest challenge in the water is really touching.
I'm super proud of you Mike
Watching this makes me feel cold
Just discovered you as I'm just trying to take up open water swimming and struggled from the cold. Now I've found the answer and found a brilliant new channel to binge. Mike, you are brilliant 👍
5:00 song : Justnormal - From Indigo
thank you
Thank you
