How do you get through your frustration? Because failing is really frustrating and that feeling corrodes your motivation...
It has to be your core skill for this channel. And that spinning book looks so good in slow mo ^^
I'm gonna make a video about frustration. I have a few tactics to reduce it. (But this is really annoying to try and learn)
DANIĂL GAMES he should memorise it with no lives lost
@@MikeBoyd You should learn the poi, it's a dance from New Zealand and can be really enjoyable to learn and do

There's also this thing called "frustration" and "getting demotivated" for your information.

Mike: ummmmm (makes a fool out of himself while trying
What skills do you have
"Yes"
Hahahađđđđ
Which skill you don't have?
@@aidantully1438 true haha
This man is really awesome he shows everyone that anything is possible
i actually learned to spin 2 handed
And that he has too much time on his hands

If the school banned fidget spinners, maybe if we fidget spin books it'll get banned from school
200iq
Damn, you living in 3019
good idea
but it's hard to spin a small book or books that can bend
They will just tell you not to spin the book and give you a detention
PeeHawk rip
thats funny, we used to sit at the back of the room during guitar classes and have spinning book on finger competition. Taking books out got banned during guitar classes after that.
Spinning a book has to be the epitome of a weird flex...that being said I really want to learn now đ
Goal Guys you gotta keep trying different techniques, I can do it and it did take a while for me to master it. But it is possible. I spin it on my middle finger on the left hand and it spins toward me. Try that and you will have a better experience
lol for me the video is 9:59
give it a go guys!
I have managed to spin a book for one minute after five days of intense learning and I must say it really paid off. There is actually nothing better you could do in these hard times of Coronavirus.
Ahhhh yes, I do this when Iâm at the library đ and I get so many people who are impressed, longest time for a spin is 3 min. It took me about 5 days practicing for around 2 hours a day.

Guinness book of world records the most time the Guinness world record book has been dropped
the Guinness book of world records actually holds the Guinness world record for book most stolen from libraries
let me guess its the guiness world record book......
I agree XD
Mike, have you considered gettin a Guinness World Record for most skills acquired?
It doesn't work that way. Something which can be called a skill is subjective to a person. Therefore they will never consider a Guinness record.
@@studiousboy644 huh, that kinda sucks. well I'm sure if he focuses on one skill, for example: a wheelie, he can achieve a record for longest wheelie or somethin like that. but thanks for lettin me know :)
Maybe get a Guinness book of world records for most skills acquired defined as anything in the Guinness book of world records, and he must be able to consistently do that skill more than the average person
"Most guinness world record books destroyed while learning to spin a book on his finger"
Thats his record lmao
From my expirience the best book to use for spinning is a MacBook, very durable
Yeah and if it breaks no one would care
this comment is so underrated
I learned with a school issued ipad senior year of high school.

I saw this video couple of months ago and it motivated me to try it myself
I could not do it in the starting but with time I got and that's because of you
Now I can easily spin a book on my fingers for like a minute ..!!!!!!!đ
So thank you once again ....
Keep motivating us and thank you đ„đ„đ„đ„đ„

Ok wtf you suggested 2 things which i have learned recently
Well pwn spinnning i learned like half a year ago then quit then got back into it like a week ago
or pen tapping
Or bali flipping
I do both book & pen but damn the pen is harder.
Mike is so motivating by doing this hard stuff and not giving up.
I love how u never give up on something

That's a great talent... I learned it in 6 days and I did for one minute 45 seconds...feeling very relieved
You are the one who never give up and learn anything inspiration for me
Learn to backflip part 2 please!
I would like that
This guy must be so much fun at parties
You teach me how to not give up đ„đ„ thankyou very much Mike Boyd !đ
Learning with a heavy square pillow is the best way to get the motion down, start with your finger slightly offset from the center and kind of push it around in tiny circles. thatâs how I learned and it translates really well to books.
LOL, imagine a pizza guy delivering your pizza like this with the box.
Wouln't work sadly, the pizza would flop around inside the box and displace the center of mass! Impossible to find a balance point.
DaP84 Iâm really good at book spinning and I can spin things that donât even have a solid balance point
Chris C. Oh, really? Please post a vid of you spinning a pizza box containing a pizza or something else with a displacing center of mass! :D
DaP84 can you give an example of something else with a displacing center of mass? No way Iâm going to risk my money by doing it with a pizza lol. Iâve done it with a zipped binder that had a loose book inside, does that count ?
Chris C. Haha, true not fun to waste a pizza! ^_^ Yeah, that counts if the book is able to move when the binder is closed.
That was the most intense 30 seconds I've ever watched
I love that u try to learn new things
Ur actually the best at everything u learn anything in the world
4:11 I like how it turns from "NO PAIN NO GAIN" and then suddenly turns "PAIN GAIN" in the background, after he failed

Gotta hit that 10 min mark
1 second off, hate when it happends.
To Pay Of The Books
CZcams adds a second, just for no apparent reason. So the video is actual post editing 9 minutes and 59 seconds long. but CZcams just does this stuff.
Edit. Forgot to mention that this is only the case on the mobile app.
@@peterberkers3564 But in my browser the video is displayed as 9:59. Did I misunderstand you?
Another proof that Mike is not in it purely for the money!
I think these videos are not about learning quick, they are about perseverance. At least, that's what I see and I think it's even better! I hope you apply it in other parts of your life.
It would be if he did not sell both his achievement and the road to it.
Dude uploaded the video in oct 2018 and was spinning GBWR 2019
*thats talent*
You were the who proves that Nothing is impossible every thing is possible
Learn how to side glide, moonwalk or boogie down. Some dance moves

Learn a new language hardest challenge ever
Russian languages
Hungarian
But like, ace a C2 exam on it :D
Or a language that not many people know or which is nearly of fully extinct. That would be an "advertisement" for the language and even harder, because of the lack of resources.
@@eswarjuri Esperanto!
Mike,
How about this challange.
Re-do all the challanges back to back in order. When you re-master one skill you can move onto the next one.
He does this at the end of every year to show that he's kept his skills and doesn't quit after the video ends
He did it already
Thank you for the learning
I'm trying frisbees just started playing frolf. Tough stuff but I got this.
Thanks for the video;)
Just wanted to say thanks so much for this! Just used it today in a class of 11 year old Dutch kids learning English. Bit worried about their book collection now...but they can certainly see what practice does. Excellent work!
Now try spinning pizza dough like a chef đšâđł
Tommy Lusignan thatâs much easier
Jk calm down donât scream at me that itâs not
This video is exactly 10 minutes. It's perfect.
Old video, I know. But I never knew this would be considered a skill, or that there was a record for it. I learned to do this as a child out of pure boredom. Amazing.
LEARN HOW TO MOONWALKKK !!!
that takes a few minutes
Umut Ysr easy asf, did in the bathroom one day, tip: slide one of your feet, flatfooted, next until itâs behind the other one then pull your heel up, repeat with the other foot. Make the transition smoother and smoother each time, looking in a mirror can help you get a better look
Random Some Guy and another tip to really smoothen things out, when you âslideâ your foot, it doesnât actually touch the ground, you slightly hover it while putting all your weight onto the grounded foot until you pop your heel up and switch
I know how i learned from river gibbs
It might be easy... I mean you guys apparently did it first attempt while 8... But he wrote dotted lines on a chalkboard, in 6 minutes... So it could be a good video...
_"what a useless skill.... HAHAHAHA"_
I love you man :P
When I was a kid, I learned it by myself and mastered it by using my right hand fingers. I usually used spinning books with my index finger when I'm bored which lasts up to minutes. Then I had a brain aneurysm and had to go under surgery. I suffered from mild stroke right after the operation which numbed the right side of my body. I've been recovering for two years now and I can feel my improvement. I might try to practice spinning again. Never give up for those of you who wanted to try it, you might even master it too!
He makes everything easy
Hi Mike I'm also from Dundee and I'm pretty sure your dad works at my school..
What school u at im also from dundee

can you do a video of improving your current typing speed to 120 wpm?
120 wpm is such a hard skill. My max is 104. Increasing this record is such a hard thing to do. I think if Mike's base speed is less 100 he won't be able to achieve that speed in a long time (I think a couple of months at least).
I checked my nitrotype profile, my max speed is actually 101 wpm.
