I am so grateful for any support you choose to give, financial or emotional! đ I wanted to see how long it would take to learn a particular skill with deliberate practice. I chose skateboarding and set the milestone at a kickflip. I recorded every second of learning and made this video. It took me 5 hours and 47 minutes to land one.

He definitely didnât mean this video to be taken this way but he definitely just made a mockery of skateboarding for 6 min
frđ i landed an ollie immediately and 3 months of many credit cards and weird attempts later, I still canât kickflipđ
Took me 3 months to ollie then an year after that to kickflip. Treflips came kinda easy tho
Rebecca Frogel Itâs not a bad thing if it takes a while to kickflip. Itâs much better to get more comfortable on your board including ollies while rolling fast, going up, down, and over things, and also skating on ramps (with ollies).
Doing these tricks while moving + being comfortable on your board takes longer than 5 hours
@@urjitchakraborty5813 Oooh we got a pro over here lol
In 5hours his already become a better skater than me.

Hey Mike. I'm 41 and after being inspired by this video, and after a 25 year break, today I landed my first ever kickflip. 2 months of work in the garden and amazingly messy but I landed it today. Thanks for the inspiration x
Him: learns Ollie in 7 minutes
Me: still canât rlly do one after 4 months
It took me 2 years
Xiaowei Jia dang well Iâm not even close to doing a proper one so yea lol
Try for an hour straight. If you still canât do it, your legs may need some exercise
bruh it took me 7 months to Ollie and 3 months to Ollie 20 inches off the ground
The Ollie he landed in 7 minutes was actually shit. Like i am verry close landing a fucking high and good ollie and i sjate for a month
He definitely watched some Aaron Kyro tutorials
Nah, cos he's doing a late flip and he doesn't flick like you would for an actual kickflip and Aaron kyro def knows how to kickflip
He flicked down as fuck but still props to him
@@phesbix9435 He's not even trying to do the ollie part of a kick flip and yes definitely does a mob flip / late flip kind of thing. He didn't land a kick flip I'd say. And definitely never saw Aaron's videos.

Or atleast most don't have an immediate reaction like she did knowing it's very painful. And normally, whether guy or girl, it's laughter that follows, not genuinely consoling them and making sure they're alright. Granted she laughed obviously, unless is serious who wouldn't? But clearly she's got it and clearly cares
+Thrannn yup. She's awesome :)
Wow, this video is almost 5 years old, I remember watching it, when I too was learning skating, and you had like 5 videos, and thought to myself, he really needs to make more of this kind of videos. Thanks to you I learned to solve the Rubik's cube, 5x5 cube blindfolded, throwing knifes, axes, and cards, programming, and playing guitar. Your videos are such a good motivation. Thanks.

He had no staking experience but manages to pull an ollie in 10 minutes.
Doj Kim kinda seems fake
@@grumbo7675 you can't do the same and say it's fake
Idk, carpet is god for practice and sometimes you get lucky and pop a singular one like him
*skating you probably meant skating
Doj Kim Well he did say he used a skateboard a lot when he was 12
How did this Man learn how to ollie in 9 minutes
I stand my first Ollie also after 15 min without any experience at all.
But still improving my form 3 weeks after starting..
He used to skate, plus I think anyone can do ollie on a couple minutes if you commit enough. All you have to do really is hit the board hard enough. But it's a crappy way to learn if your trying to get good ollies. I wouldn't even count what he was doing as an ollie because he's not doing the proper motions, just hitting the board really really hard.
@@MrRobotrax I been skating for a year and I can't Ollie for shit
He did it on a rug so not that hard
Honestly? I'm 41. Never put a feet on a Skateboard. A friend gave me one. 20 minutes, and I can Ollie, it's not clean, it hurt, it looks shit, but... HIGHLY possible.
Ot's like anything else, practice, practice and practice...
Hands down, this is the most entertaining (best video ever) CZcams video I have ever seem. I respect your metaphor/analogy, don't quit skateboarding. I love it and will skate with you any day.
My guy wanted to learn how to kickflip
Instead he learned late flips. Respect
I THOUGHT THAT KICKFLIP LOOKED WEIRD THANK YOU FOR POINTING IT OUT TO ME
Not a late flip more of a mobbed kickflip
WTH! He learned how to do an Ollie in 9.5 minutes?!
Honestly i don't really believe that buuutt i really like the video's. He makes good content
He didn't do it properly his form was all wrong it was nothing like a real Ollie but props on him for trying If he keeps trying for like a month or 2 he'll be doing a correct Ollie in no time
Youâre supposed to slide your front foot up to level out the board
Seth Sumaya compared to me. 3 months
He has some past experience with riding. The thing is most people want to learn tricks early on and forget the most important part. Being comfortable while riding. Just focus on riding to get a better feel and then start learning tricks.
Awesome job, both on the kickflip and for not being mean to the cat for being in your way the whole time. lol
+Definately Not Pro it's impossible to be mean to the cat. He's too cute!
+Mike Boyd Dude u know thats the sucky kind you need to get like a better kind but you did good LOL

Mad respect to this man. It takes him 8 minutes to learn how to Ollie on a janky board and running shoes when it took me about two years to learn to Ollie. ALSO, 5 hours??!! That's insane. This guy committed to all of the attempts and amazingly enough, he put up with his cat getting in the way about 10 times
darkese latifa if you look closely it's actually a late flip he's doing. Also I feel your pain for how long it takes to learn how to Ollie xd
N8 the Great yeah i dont really know if i would call this a kickflip
It's a kickflip. It's a mobbed kickflip, but it's a kickflip. If anything, mobbed flips are harder to land, so props here.
How the hell did it take you 2 years to learn an ollie i thought anyone could easily learn one in under a week if they tried hard enough
Hazzaisabear /\ look up Aaron kyro he's a pro sponsored skater and it took him 6 months to learn the ollie
That was the best video about learning kick flips I ever saw, nice video man, from Brazil
Legend. This gives me motivation to pick the board up and try again.

You are such a natural!!!
He can ollie in 10 mins and I even can't get that much pop in 5 days
He is on a carpet that's why it's easy for him
I understand what you mean, but I found that it was the foot positioning and technique that was holding me back, so I tried learning to Ollie and took me months and I still never had it, I was doing it all wrong so gave up, this weekend I had another go and I found that you need to have you foot right on the top of the tail, the balls of your foot balance on the tip and your front foot is either behind the bolts at the front or further back up to you. It's all one motion so you bend and as you come up pop and slide. I found that doing it rolling helped and then tried doing it faster and worked. I can kind of do it now I think but I busted up my leg bad and can't even walk but can't wait to get back out XD
+mxzzzy when I try it rolling I always slip out..
I had the rolling out problem until yesterday. After recording myself, I realized the reason the board was flying away/slipping out was because I wasn't popping DIRECTLY down.

@jackstacks it is impossible:)
Lino Mathew no ollies are easy af
@@lityfity4197 Have you watched a super slow mo of an ollie? Sounds simple but I really wasnt understanding that you have to jumping and going up before you snap the tail. Meaning I was basically doing them at the same time. Then its all about the toe drag to bring the board with you. After watching a slow mo ollie i did one about an hour later. Mikes skill is his mental game, I think he knew all the mechanics going into it and then had to get his body to do it.
@@ImpatientTurtle thanks for the comment, i think jumping and then popping right after is the key -- seems counter intuitive so its hard to grasp

The shin part..yeah, that is a rite of passage in and of itself. Welcome brother- to the community.
Mike you are something else bro some it took you 6 hours to kick flip thatâs insane.

+BeyondSlowMotion cannot describe how good that felt. Actually I think the video sums it up reasonably well. Thanks for watching :)
after skateboarding for a while and not really progressing up to kick flips, i watched this vid, skated for about 2 hours straight, and finally landed a kick flip. Yeet.
Wow that's so cool man ! I can't even do a normal ollie.

It's really amazing that you land a kick flip for the first time and then you just keep landed them immediately

he learned a ollie in 8 minutes and im struggling to learn it in 2 months
It helps to actually attempt it.
It took me over 2 years to get over knee high ollies.. (I'm 6"1' so my knees are quite high lol)
Yeah you really got to hit the tail sharp because i think thats a big error with people i also thing most people forget to slide their feet and at the right timembecause they focus too much on the pop
some people just pick up ollies easier than others
*Sigh* This is how you attempt an Ollie: Both feet on the board (obviously), one on top of the tail and the other slightly behind the front bolts (more towards the middle). Hit the tail down and as soon as you feel it touching the ground, slide your front foot towards the nose of the board. Try and find a certain rhythm towards it, makes it easier.
5:11 when you find out that there will be no test
The legend is born
Dude I love the cat!!
So you mean 5 hours of time actually being on the board. Still very impressive, but how many days or total hours would you say this took you?

I just picked up skating again at 41 years old. I rode when I was like 8-12 years old and mostly only did ollies foe tricks and stair jumps and a little half pipe riding. After a week back at it I landed my first kick flip last night. I wasnât coming close to landing it until I decided to lean forward and that was the trick for me. I landed after about 5 more attempts. I attempted again today about 10 times and landed it once. Believe you can do it and you can. Plus there is a ton of info to help that I didnât have when I was younger. The internet came out around the time I stopped skating.
