Credit for calling out this bs man, it can be really detrimental to someone's self image and a new skaters progress when you see people setting unrealistic standards for beginners.
100% agree mate. Glad you see thru it as well
There is no way this is real. He learned to balance, ollie, and kickflip in 6 hrs. So, we're supposed to just believe he has the balance and coordination of a professional slackliner and gymnast, and while jumping two feet in the air for every attempt, he never got scraped, banged his knee or elbow, rolled his ankle, jammed his wrist, or any other permutation of an injury? HELL TO THE NAW!
As soon as you start comparing yourself to other in skating it's over for you. Guys like that who post on UA-cam is nothing compared to what contest skaters actually progress, there will always be a 12 year old that's twice as good as you and that's just part of skating
Honestly thats true, but its quiet rare and you can have the edge because of a stronger mentallity when older
Especially the younger generation. The fastest ive seen someone to land a kickflip is 2 weeks. He went all-in with only ollies standing still grinding it for a week, then messed it up and flipped it by mistake sometimes. He learned ollie with a little speed in a couple weeks time, and by mistake did a kickflip down a mannypad he tried to ollie down. Took another 2 months before he landed another kickflip. And that is pretty good progression imo. Im a slow learner and it took me a full season before I landed my first kickflip. Shuv it and fakie 180 etc went a bit faster tho. A friend of mine took two years for his first kickflip, I think the average is about 2-4 months tho (or 1 season)
Hey man! I appreaciate the commentary, I know that kickflip doesn't count, and it honestly took me another 4-5 hours of practice to land a clean one in another vid. But I didn't lie, it took me 3 days of pain and that's it. Never skated once in my life before the day I tried to ollie, and I got the ollie my first day of riding a skateboard.
Also adding this as I'm watching the video to clear a few things!
I didn't have a strict skillshare deadline for the video. I made this vid because it went really well for another youtuber who made similar skill learning videos, and I rushed it so much because of a bet between me and a few friends that told me i couldn't learn the kickflip from scratch in less than 7 days. One of those friends gave me his skateboard, because I didn't have one.
1. For the ollie: if I remember correctly I tried with my friend's shoes for a while before getting it, what made the big difference was my friend showing to me that I had to pull the board to my left, instead of simply jumping. As soon as I tried that the skateboard stopped flying away. I simply just cut the process out because I've shown a bunch of fails before, plus I didn't even think it was a big deal, so I moved quickly onto showing me trying the kickflip. Also to be clear, I didn't even properly learn to ollie, I just kinda got it a few times, it's not that from that moment I've been getting ollies whenever I wanted lol.
2. When I try the kicklflip the first time, it was day 2, when I've been hit in the face + when I'm on my terrace + when it's 8pm, that was day 3.
4. varial flips: I didn't even know I was doing a varial flip or that varials are harder than kickflips (if they are), I realized that later, and I was sad because I knew I had to correct my form to get the kickflip.
5. 6 hours and 50 something minutes was the total time of raw footage I had, and I used to film each attempt (I don't do that anymore)
Bear in mind this was like 2-3 years ago, I stopped even counting the hours it takes me to learn stuff becasue I feel it's just a sort of flex in some cases, or the opposite in others. It took me hours to get a moonwalk and people were shitting on me in the comments because it took them minutes lol.
And again, never skated in my life before filming this vid, filmed it in 3 days.
Then ofc I don't expect everyone to believe what I'm saying, but I didn't lie (besides considering the kickflip landed, which I've been called out in the comments for). Have a good one!
You're a prodigy mate
I still can't ride a skateboard man that's why I did the trick while standing still lol @@stennettb
If it helps i want to say that i completely believe you and support waht you do
THE MAN HAS SPOKEN
cool to see you address everything here. It seems like a lot of people aren't taking into consideration how much footage needs to be cut down in the edit for a video to perform well, or that someone more athletic than them will learn a skill like this faster than them haha. Skepticism is totally called for but I think a lot of people in the comments are just jealous.
Looks like he took a electric sander to his shoes.....
6 hours as in 6 hours of practice he means, I've watched a lot of his vids and he might have skated in the past, but usually he's honest.. "learning kickflip for the first time" gets more views and money than "learning kickflips again".
i agree with this mike shake seems legit as he does many learning skill videos and always does it insanely quickly
I might have been recommended this for this reason l, but I only found this milk shake guy last nite from a 3000$ butterfly knife video. Ngl he seems like an alright guy and fun sense of humor with his editing and stuff. I’d give him benefit of the doubt on this. Everyone has been on a skateboard at some point as a kid. I think he had just not done it in many years
I appreaciate this guys! But to be clear that was actually my first time using a skateboard
Hi Mike! Thanks for clarifying, you're just that guy, absolute insanity!! Keep up what you're doing, love from Belgium
It's intentionally misleading though. That's the problem.
i've been skating for a year and your commentary on the diff ppls mistakes is actually pretty good advice for me too, thanks ❤
Honest truth is skateboard unlike most people think is a skill that takes years to get down just the basics. People seem to treat it as a fad that you can get over in a matter of hours. Just learning how to ride, pump, carve, and revert can take months and you still haven’t popped the board
Mike Shake (the first youtuber) is known for his skills and being very persistent and not giving up. he definitely is really good at learning new skills but this one doesnt seem real. He does some 24 hour skills challenges but 6 hours isnt usually what he does. He usually takes chill rests but for thinking and stuff. but your right. I kinda feel like I'm yapping
I feel like you can’t say you learned a kickflip by landing it one time. It took me a while to land the first one but I feel even after 3 years of doing them I’m still learning them cause there’s always improvements you can make with your technique, height, style. And when you’re tryna do kickflips higher and not rocket asf like him they become way more challenging
Truth!
Once is luck, twice to prove it and three times to get it in your bag of tricks
Beleive it or not, but the older i got i had to keep relearning how to do most of my tricks!
gonna be a pretty long video if he tracked his progress through 10 years of actually “learning” the kickflip
Dan you absolutely nailed it right away. This guy can't even ride his board, what is he doing (apart from getting views) trying to learn to kickflip. I actually think these kind of videos can be detrimental to beginners. Nice stuff!
This feels like a lot of hate. My old friend in Vancouver used to do skate schools, and I was absolutely shocked how quickly some kids would progress with the right information/teacher. I also snowboard instructed up at Cypress in Vancouver, and some people couldn't for the life in them learn a thing because their mind said no. Yet others were doing 360s off jumps within hours because their mind said yes. Fear is a factor and you're only instilling it more. But good job discouraging people into thinking it will takes "years" for some people to learn a single trick. And your comment on him: "grow up kid" after groin shotting himself, yeah, lots of hate for no reason. I even browsed your channel and thought wow, you give out some really good tips. But this is just clickbate, hate, and discouragement.
Ofc he's gonna hate someone lying for clout and being dramatic for attention, like what? Do you seriously believe he did that in 6 hours? With no experience whatsoever? Like i get it some people learn it faster but 6 hours man, if you still believe it just think about it for a moment how scummy would it be to fake that, then his hate is kinda justified, and this is pretty sketchy even if it was true so there's plenty of reason to doubt it
There is a few callouts that i dont agree with. I met many people who learned varial first because its very easy to accidentally rotate the board. I was one of those people myself. 13 years old in my front yard on the grass was able to get heelflips before kickflips then when trying to learn kickflips i got varial flips. Also the really high pops thing is something i have seen as well. My brother grew up watching me skate and being really interested in skateboarding. He didnt skate but he watched videos and loved skating games. He did scooter back when I used to skate so he spent a lot of time at skateparks. In his early 20s he started to really give skating an honest go and his pops were very high just like this video.
Now to answer whether or not i believe he is truthful about 6 hours. I do not.. as a skater who helped many people learn how to skate and watching my brother who learned how to skate extremely fast. I dont think anyone can learn this skill in just 6 hours. My brother went on to learning trey flips, hardflips, and crooked grinds in about 2 years which is insane progress and is obviously someone who learned faster then most. But... even for him it took a week to learn a kickflip and i remember he would come in so angry after putting in 6 hour days of practice each day. Thats not including consistency, which took him an additional month or 2 to get them decent.
i agree. it's almost like people trying to teach a trick the way it's comfortable to them. it doesnt work for everyone! everyone learns at their own pace. One of my homies learned to kickflip by his second day of skateboarding. a lot of his tricks came in fast cause he was just one of those kids that seemed to be comfortable on a board!
Its much different when you have transferable skills like from rollerblading, snowboarding or even skis, also you go to a challenge with a plan and instructor. I totally believe this guy
I have seen kids learn to kickflip in 6 hours in real life, like before they left the park on their first day they landed their first kickflip, tail on the board had not a single scratch when they got there
Totally agree on varial point though, I also learned varials before kickflips
Pops being high is normal. Maybe these skaters don't do any other workout in their life but I do boxer skipping rope, speed ladders, plyometric boxes, etc all those things for foot and ankle and my pop is quite high. Now I'm not saying I'm a good skater. I'm sh!t, I can only do ollie and shuv its. I took skateboarding as another type of exercise. But jumping high isn't exclusive for skaters, and skaters need to accept that.
People learning to kickflip before learning to roll, carve and the basics is the most cringe aspect of our beloved sport/art/discipline of skateboarding.
I agree you have to put in the work he might do a kickflip but do it rolling or after dropping in off of something who cares if you can ollie in place? You gotta ollie rolling then ollie over a curb.
you're being over critical of someone whos trying to learn something new. people like you are the reason people are afraid to start in the first place. bro did a good job for the experience and time he had.
Nothings wrong with learning something new,it's wrong to lie and flex for money about what your learning.
The reason ppl don't pick up skating is never going to be because an actual skater on UA-cam doubted someone's claim. When u go to a skatepark irl, ppl are very rarely if ever judgemental over someone who is clearly new. This is a different scenario. The guy has made a claim which is rightfully a very unrealistic thing to say, and someone else is calling him out on the bs.
@@jamo1774 Seems credible enough. Like saying you "learned to dunk" and you barely scrape your fingertips on the rim as the ball goes in. Technically, you "learned to dunk" and it was successful, but you'll never get them consistently. He still looks like he is horrible at skating. You can probably realistically land this type of kickflip in 6 hours of practice time, over the course of 3 days. I was doing this type of stuff as a 9 year old landing 360 shuvs on fluke attempts that I never repeated. This is such a case. This isn't out of the ordinary. Or landing some ugly varial flip when attempting those shuv its. He just "landed" an ugly ass kickflip.
And to be honest, I remember landing 1 kickflip out of 100 attempts in my garage after a few days. And then failing another 100 times after that lol Idk this youtuber, but it seems legit enough.
@@jamo1774 you're right , fair enough.
Exactly , no only that. He’s being a complete jerk as well
I personally think that this video is real, I used to watch Mike Shake and he is definitely very talented at learning new skills, this video is believable in my opinion.
You’d be surprised. We have lot more resources now and a ton of long breakdown videos of how to do a kickflip. Not only that, but this UA-camr really does spend hours a day practicing
seen a hundred ppl try to learn to ollie and i've never seen someone pop so dramatically. not even once
I knew a bmx guy when I was a kid. He never learned skateboarding, couldn't ollie, but did varial flips first try😅
Ain't no ABSOLUTE BEGINNER turning there ankle over like that on an ollie that at least 3months of ollie practice 😂
I made a comment explaining everything, and again I take yours as a compliment. Never skated before that day in my life, (still can’t ride a skateboard) got the Ollie on the first day, “landed” kickflip after 3 days 👍
@MikeShake Wow, well, it seems you should have started skating as a kid ... probably be a pro if you we able to keep progressing at the pace we seen in the video !!
@@parsonicservices3576 shut
I have been trying kickflips for years and still cant land them very often. 6 hours is pretty hard to believe
antwuan dixon once said he landed it first try, and honestly i could totally believe that
All about the flick, brud. Gotta finesse it. Flick n catch, stomp. All about that flick though…
@@joshiemahI think I know you idk why
@@joshiemahohhh I’m subscribed to you. Didn’t you stop uploading or something
It's so obvious he was pretending like he didn't know what he doing at the start...
I think ur kinda trippin man, I've seen people literally land treflips within 2 weeks of starting, people who are already athletic and invested in something hard on the mind and body excell pretty quick
I used to skate every day when I was younger and kickflip is my favorite trick. I would do them all the time, and even doing them all day every day for a week my shoes didn’t look that gnarly. It takes a few weeks of skating to wear your shoes down that much. You couldn’t do enough kickflips in 6 hours to do that to a pair of shoes. There’s videos of people doing 1000 kickflips in a row in a brand new pair of shoes and they know how to kickflip well so every kickflip is wearing their shoes down. They still don’t look as bad as his did. The actual rubber was very worn down, which again can take a week or two. I’m convinced it’s fake just because I’m a weirdo and literally was obsessed with how long it took my shoes to wear out and who out of my friends would wear shoes out the fastest.
He's landing bolts on his first ollies, that
was definitely real! His kickflip training technique was exactly how I used to do my varial flips, with the front foot pushing it away. One thing I will say is that he is deafinitely a real youtuber!
I skated for a little more than 1 year back in 2016 - 2017.
I never managed to land a kickflip, but I landed a shuvit, heelflip, varial heelflip, 360 shuvit and that was it.
I worn out 6 pair of shoes in 1 month trying to learn the kickflip towards the end.
Some people (like myself) just use a lot more force and bad form than others and wear out shoes like it's nothing.
My brother skated with the same shoes for like 1-2 year no problem because he's skated for like 30 years at this point and he learned to do most tricks using almost no force and just the rubber sole and the board just never touches the side of his shoes.
Sadly I dislocated my foot and my knee at the same time and permanently ruined the meniscus in the knee to the point that I can't walk for more than like 20 minutes anymore and if I skate for like 10 minutes, I get knee pain that lasts like 6 months to a year. :/
I wish I hadn't fucked up my knee back then, so I could have kept going.
It was the most fun I ever had.
2 types of skaters heelflip guys and kick flip guys. I prefer heelflips
you just suck ngl i landed a kickflip in 4 days get on my level, it was complete luck and probably wont happen again for a long time, but i did land one
don’t lie troll
The reason that it looks like he goes from the worst attempts ever to landing the Ollie was because in editing he only included those attempts because it’s more interesting for the viewer
Yeah but he allegedly progressed through all that in the course of 6 hours, so he goes from those attempts to a clean ollie in less than 6 hours, doesn't seem legit
he honestly told me how to kick flip better than anyone else
Some people are just naturally good at learning shit like this fast. I have a friend I used to skate with who was landing kickflips consistent after like two weeks of skating when he started. I imaging if you locked in for 3 days and practiced hard it could be possible to stick a kickflip like this guy did.
respect for having the guts to call him out!
I recently got back into skating and it took me probably 1500 kickflips to land one, still working on getting them consistently, 6 hrs seems kinda wild.
bruh i KNEW this guy was fake. his "i learned to draw in a week" is so bs LOL, nobody learns that fast. in fact nobody would see that level of progress in a month let alone a week, it'd take 3 months at minimum or a year
(respectfully,) Mike shake isnt fake, in fact he wrote you a comment on this video explaining to you why. His channel is actually just learning new skills. Its would be impossible he learned all of them you know...😅😅I do parkour, and there are people aswell that do very complicated stuff like random, and they havent done it in his life.
You can learn to do a kick flip in 6x hrs only if you can already skate and Ollie. Otherwise learning any flip tricks without being able to skate comfortably is just dangerous.
the way he celebrated the moment his feet landed on the board, he KNEW he was landing that one, seems like he's always known how to ollie.
After 20 years of non skating i tried to do a kickflip and after 3 days i would say that i hit them consistently!!!so i dont belive a non skater can learn a kickflip in 5 hours!!!
You’ve been skating for 15 years and you don’t know a lot of people end up varial flipping before kick flipping? I had a big issue when I was learning where I’d scoop the back when kicking out with my front foot and was landing solid varials and decent tres way before I ever landed my first kick flip. If you had told me back then that kick flips were “way easier” than varials I would’ve laughed. Hardest trick I ever learned.
Not to say this guy isn’t bs, who can honestly say, but your criticisms are coming from a narrow perspective. Google “can varial flip but not kick flip” and I bet you’ll find tons of results. I don’t even skate anymore but I know that’s still a thing. Hell, like half the guys I know that skated in the past had similar, if not the same exact issue.
Have skated for about 12 years before I had to stop after a back injury. There's no shot in hell u get a kick flip in the same day. I also agree that it's not considered landed. When u start getting close to landing a kickflip, that's sometimes what it looks like. U fully flip the board, get both feet back on but lose your balance and can't stay on. Best case scenario here, if I'm to give the benefit of the doubt, this happened on a fluke attempt which is possible. But again wasn't landed. Getting both feet back on is about 3/4 of the way there. Keeping your balance afterwards is what makes something considered landed. Regardless I say there was definitely more time put in than what we're led to believe.
One thing i would say in his defense tho is that varial flips coming out of trying to kickflip is fairly common. This is usually due to the shoulders being perpendicular to the board instead of parallel, foot positioning being a bit off, and the way that u jump/pop. When you're first learning, a common mistake is not popping straight down and jumping straight up. So u end up jumping forward a bit, which can cause that shuv it motion, especially when stationary. This is sometimes how a varial flip ends up being some ppls first flip trick.
And there's nothing wrong with calling this stuff out. If someone is first learning to skate, the last thing u want to do is give them an unrealistic expectation of the learning curve. In skating the learning curve is very slow at first. Depends ofc how much u practice. But it wouldn't be fair to tell a newbie "hey i learned to kickflip in a day! And so can u!". Might sound encouraging on the surface, but its an unrealistic goal. And its more damaging to tell someone bc once they pick up a board for the first time and see how hard it actually is, they would wonder why they cant even come close when someone else did it in a day.
Sry for the rant. I was very passionate about skating for a long time. And although i fell out of it bc of my injury, part of me still is. Just want to give my 2 cents and share the truth.
This makes me glad I uploaded 30 + times on my treflip war that lasted since July 16! Good eye on calling this out
that's his whole channel lmao all you had to do was click on the channel and see what content he uploads
I feel like the most realistic thing here was him getting varial flips before a normal kick flip lol. I couldn’t keep the board straight at all. Then I learned heel flips because I thought they were kick flips because your leg “kicks” out forward.
It was also 1996 and I had one friend who had a skateboard and none of us had ever seen or heard of a skate video.
It's a little odd he has 2 different preworn set ups for his first time skating... with phanom trucks that haven't been made for like 16 years. Probably skated when he was younger and picked it back up.
There is no way this is real...just watch any other "learning to skateboard" videos. No ones first kickflip attempt looks like that lol
I did kickflips 15 years ago and now im gonna learn em in 5.9 hours for first time 😅😅
I used to watch him because he learns stuff but he doesn’t get consistent with the skills he learns like when he learned to back flip he tried it like a year later and still didn’t get close so he technically doesn’t actually learn the skills
9:31 have someone kick you in the balls and then not bend over in pain. "grow up kid" bruh
Don't be so quick to assume the limits of human achievements, people's proclivity to learn things varies greatly, I am a music teacher, I know this all too well. At the age of 29, 6 hours of actual time attempting the trick is literally roughly how long it took me to land my first one, but over the course of 6 days, after buying a board for the first time. (Though technically I did have the tiniest bit of experience skateboarding as a 12 year old, so I can't really claim with certainty that's how long it would have taken me if I literally had never touched a board before) It would still take me many more weeks and months to be able to get it remotely consistent or with any level of real control or to do it while moving, but just being able to land 1 single flatground stationary kickflip is not indicative of any level of mastery of the board.
When these guys say I learned in 6 hours. They are only counting time on the skateboard. So weeks of 30 min sessions can count as 6 hours. Technically.
kickflip isn't where you should begin. Dan knows what he's talking about.
looks like a guy pretending to "learn to skate" but in reality hes learning switch lmao
Hello, I can understand the suspense and would agree, that the jumps seemed a bit "overfailed", but every non skater probably would agree, that your brain just farts when you try this with no experience, thus every outcome being quite possible.
However, I also have been skating for almost 20 years now and during that time I came across some people with similar fast or even faster results, so I wouldnt outright call this progress impossible.
For example there even was a girl last year on a party, which wanted me to teach her how to ollie, it took her like 5 attempts to do a proper one. To be fair she became german champion in 800meter running this year so being in a very good shape probably set her up for succes already. While technique is very important in skating, having several injuries taught me that having muscle in the right places also is a big factor. So being sporty, especially in a huge variety of disciplines also sets you up, so that it comes down to your brain being your friend.
And 6hours + in a short span even over 4 days is a crazy workout for someone that never skated, doing a "proper" kickflip activates 27 muscles or so? And doing jumps in every single direction while atempting one probably does a lot more to you.
In the end only MikeShake will know the truth and if he beautified some numbers for the sake of a good video -> well who got hurt
Keep it up with the videos, hope your keyboard is well!
greetz
I accidentally learned the variable flip while trying to learn the kickflip… I also accidentally landed a 180 ollie when I was trying to learn a regular ollie, and realized they’re much easier. Both of these events happened when I was 13 and high on acid. Actually, most of my “breakthrough moments” happened whilst high on acid.🤷🏼♂️ The early 80s were a very different time, though.
wtf you were on acid at 13 lmao
This comment is cap
bro was on acid at 13 years old, the 80s were crazy huh
Bro's just hating for no reason 😭
It does seem like he isn't telling us something and it just feels so off. I watched this video around when it came out, but I've only just learned to skate properly in the last 2 years - and yeah, that is not how anyone normally learns a kickflip. If you skate you can see what's up.
I can accept that he already knew how to at some point and just purposely made this video. Because this is the sort of thing people want to watch on youtube - it has millions of views and probably made him a decent amount of money, right? So fair enough, I don't blame him.
The guy has videos where he doesnt complete the challenges though so this video just feels overly critical tbh. I got a couple okay ollies after a couple days practicing (i snowboarded before though so maybe that helped), so i dont find it completely unbelievable he got one not even counting kickflip after 4 days
Blake here. Ive been kickflipping for almost 15 years now. I dont really remember how hard it was to learn ive been going off muscle memory the past like 8 years or so. Anyways.... One thing i do know though is that it doesn't take a day to build up that muscle memory. Not even two days or three days.
Who here knows how long it takes for the muscles to "remember" what to do.
For me it took like two years. Two years to build memory in my muscles so i can kickflip while my focus is on something else further ahead of me.
tbh, the kickflip is pretty easy to learn imo. i think heels are a bit harder to learn even if that's the first flip trick i learned since it was the first one ever shown to me by older, better skaters before the age of the internet (other than pop shove)
Antuwan dixon claims to have landed a kickflip on his first try ever... He says hes frien showed him how to dp it and he just did... I learned how to heel within an hour... I met a kidwho could big flip but couldn't Ollie... I dont think its bs
Yeah, I think this guy is legit, basicly whole channel is based on videos like learn something from scratch. Also, I have friend who learned varial flip faster than kickflip, so for most people maybe it is harder than kickflip, but for some, varial could actually be easier. I'm a terrible skater, but I skate for 15 years and I love it. I do stuff that others can't do, but I have problems with simple stuff like fs180 lol
My friend landed kickflip in 10 minutes on grass. He could'nt even ollie. Year was 1996.
I think you're assuming too much. When I was in highschool, I landed a varial flip first try on my friends board and I couldn't even ollie up a curb. Granted, It was sheer luck, but I did it.
did this man really go through 3 pairs of shoes in 6 hours of skating, used 3 different pairs of shoes in 6 hours of skating, and 3 sets of clothes. seem sus i was the raw footage then ill believe it
i dont get how some people can get tricks so quickly, ive been tryna ollie every day since early summer and im very much nowhere with it
There is more people in the world not skating than skating. So people that don’t know how freking hard it is to even land a steezy ollie or a “simple” pop shuv (not even talk about a kickflip) is gonna click on the video and give credit to the man. I’m not saying this video is BS. But for sure it is creepy AF. And the guy too.
so after needing new shones for a ollie, he goes back to the old shoes for kickflip
i learned varial flips before kick flips because the varial flip is basicly a shuv it with kicking out at the side of the board you dont even need to aim for the kickflip corner
i remember doing my first kickflip when i was in middle school, it took me years to finally land it.
TO BE FAIR
I learned varials and was rather proud of how clean i had them while TRYING to learn kickflips.
I think one of the most dishonest... or maybe just confusing parts of this video is where he pretends to get tips from UA-cam when he obviously has a guy there coaching him.
I think part of the video are fake but I think he honestly had never done a kick flip. I suppose if I spent 6 hours jumping on a board I might get lucky once. But that doesn’t mean I learned it.
Bro the original poster commented, take a look
I will say when I started skateboarding I landed a varial kickflip first not a regular kickflip. For some reason that was how I kicked it idk how I got there first but I did. It was a pretty cool feeling to be going for a kickflip and skipping right over it to a varial flip
2:20 you can literally see he watched like 7 videos about learning to kickflip tf are you talking about?
Im really devastated by this video, used to watch his videos because it was kinda similar to mike boyd with an insane upload schedule. If he faked one video, how many more are fake...
No bs here imo, first of all skating is transferable skill, if you can do rollerblades, snowboarding, skis, ice skates well you will understand balance on skateboard much faster. Second, this guy is experienced in learning new skills, his literal job is to learn different stuff fast, hes not banging head to the wall for 10 hours and hope for the best like normal people do. He's watching his videos to compare to pro, hes finding angles, maybe you can say "cheats" his way.
I mean... consider the premise here.. "Random in-shape chad dude flails for hours to almost land something sitting still" doesn't seem like a flex at all. Just a weird way to spend your time.
Now get an overweight dad bod bro in there with jelly ankles telling us he never skated before as he lands a two push butter one... that's the faker we deserve, I wouldn't even be mad
I landed a kickflip in 2 seconds... After 20 years of practice.
I don't know about this one although I found it a bit suspicious when I first saw it.
But It could be possible... I mean there's a HUGE difference between landing the first kickflip, and landing the next ones... and even more in landing kickflips constantly.
There's another video on his channel where he tries to "redo" all the skills he learned after a year or so, like juggling, cards tricks, backflip from the ground etc... and the only thing he can't do is a kickflip. At least he was pretty honnest about it, he could have skipped this skill or somehow cheat...
I agree with you mate, there are leaps in the progression here. Kudos if its legit, but I dont think its real and is detrimental to new skaters IMO.
Yeah bro to be totally fair I was trying to learn half cab flips and I didn’t realize until checking the footage I was actually trying fakie big flips, the videos somewhere on my channel it’s called like the cursed trick or something like thay
the old skater getting back after years away is it.. i skated from the early 80's until 1992 went away for 9 years came back didnt skate until 2010 and looked like this for like a day or so and it started coming back.....
If there is something skateboarding taught me is that anything is impossible
also yea his "first" ollie he immediately knew he landed it and immediately threw his hands up in celebration, usually it takes a sec to even realize you landed it, and then u celebrate, 9:55 totally agree
You can understand the fascination when you see the professionals - it looks so easy. Of course you want to be able to do that, ideally immediately lol. You're more likely to end up in the hospital, but there are skate video games lol
nobody learns a kickflip in 6 hours thats rediculous
Due to my base level understanding of physics, if you give me 6 hours, I will be able to nail a half court shot with my eyes closed. That doesn't mean I learned to take half court shots with my eyes closed. It means I threw enough shit at the wall and eventually it stuck. Once.
I actually landed my first kick flip today in 9 hours, but i have been skating a really long time, and i was using skater trainer's but after my first ever attempt was 9 hours and 37 minutes ago
It can be done. ... but what happened to the 6 hours thing?
Im a beginner at flip tricks (specifically the kick flip motion) and tbh flip tricks seem easier than ollies. Not a total beginner because i push and roll pretty steezy but just something to think about.
even a few of the sponsored homies were impressed with my natural ability.
Why are you criticizing a beginner this much ?
I dunno about anybody else but for me varial flips are easier and more natural to do than kickflips. They were the first flip I started doing and on accident. Now a steezy varial flip takes time to master though
Mike shake slander will not be tolerated, i see the good commentary but gotta remeber he gotta make good content and clickable titles
for 4 months I am going 3-4 days per week for 1-1,5 hour and trying only to land a kickflip. After 4 months of trying to land it last 2 week I had land a kickflip maybe 6-7 times and still I need more training to land it clearly. So I think you can't land a kickflip on 6hours.... Sorry for my English (I am from Greece )
this whole video is just over-critiquing and sly remarks
yea shit annoyed tf out of me. just younger skaters proving more and more everyday how absolutely fucked skateboarding is nowadays... no longer for fun anymore boys apparently and no more hyping each other up. just another big competition with all the same tricks. Its been put into a box, sad.
yeah but have on mindthat some people might even take years to learn how to kickflip but they dont spend hours focused on flips they might do 10-20 tries and then go back to skating whatever they doing to have fun and thats it if you put it in perspective i bet most of those people wont even make 5 complete hours into the pure training of just kickflip in that whole year, i know cause im one of those, i spent months riding my skate daily and try kickflips maybe for 20 mins 30 mins every few weeks.
It’s not 6 hours straight it’s 6 hours in a long period of time
I learned heelflip and varial kickflip before kickflip ... after 15 years i tried to learn to do kickflip and i still suck it :)
I landed an ollie from being a complete beginner in an hour, and a kickflip in 4 days I dont see just because he landed one in 6 hours he is faking it
Um..@10:44 you said that the damages on his shoe was not a day's worth. that's not pretty accurate. you gotta remember that most skate shoes we are familiar with use materials that lasts longer. he was wearing some generic shoes that God knows where the materials came from. just throwing that fact out there.
I seen my friend learn how to ollie in less than an hr right after he got his first board and like really good ollies the technique was there and the height some people are just fast learners
He's to steady when crouching down like he's been riding for awhile. 42 years old here just picked up a skateboard again after 20 years to teach my daughter. And this guy has form not a beginner
so many kids thinking you're 'hating'
grow up
