Mike Boyd. Please Please Please try to learn the standing backflip again. I really want to see you achieve it !
Bump start a car? It's call a jump start. Also, sorry all of American, you can't start your cars this way? Manuals aren't uncommon in the us.
My friends on the farm would call it roll starting a car. That's also how we'd start our bikes, because we didn't wanna hit are chins with this kick starter
Every time I heard someone say âskillsâ or âlearnâ, Iâm scared that thereâs a skillshare sponsor segment coming up.

Mike, it has been 3 years. We have not forgotten. It's time to learn the backflip.
Sumir Iâve been wanting to see that cause I do parkour as a main hobby and I actually started watching his channel after seeing the video in hopes heâd actually revisit the backflip

I genuinely think that most people would *love* making spreadsheets in excel, they just don't realize it. Making a spreadsheet where everything automatically updates itself and perfectly comes together is a great feeling, and getting to use it is even better because you know that you made it succeed. You just feel proud of yourself when everything falls right into place.
I have come to achieve that with a school project that forced me to learn some. Still kind of unorthodox most of the time if you donât know.

I've really started learning piano as a new indoor hobby because of the lockdown's boringness. It brings me lots of joy!
"This requires a manual car, so sorry all of America." in America, having a manual is anti-theft protection because NO ONE knows how to drive one.
And that's a fact
I find it sad that more people dont know how to drive manual. Its not hard it may be hard for some to learn but otherwise its easy.
That's why I have one! And none of your friends can borrow it and fuck it up.
LordKorval ha unless you have friends that build them then they fuck it up even more

Dude, that "jump start your car" routine is something I master since I was 18, just like you! The only difference is that I was 18 back in the mid 80s, when most cars had manual transmission

Another vote for learning spreadsheets - I don't do anything that requires it for work, but I use it to track D&D inventory (with value and weight for each bag) and it's super useful.

For the Monster can engine sound, for those who canât make the Wookie sound (rolling your Râs), you can pop off the can tab, and drop it in the bottom to let it bounce off the bottom and give the metallic sound (you can still do it by making a growling noise in the can, it will just sound really hollow)

my car broke down at a garage (faulty starter motor) and i bump started it using your advice. thanks bro
Some ideas Mike should definitely try in lockdown:
-Learn to write with your off-hand (weak hand)
-Learn to Backflip part 2 (difficult in lockdown)
-Learn to drink a whole water bottle in one go
-Learn to do magic tricks
-See if you can still do Muscle Ups
Like so he sees this
He can probably already drink a whole water bottle in one go. Did you see him with that monster.
He already did see if he can do muscle ups
What about see how many muscle ups he can reach...
I think everybody can drink a whole water bottle in one go

The Excel tip is so true. Over the past 3 years I have learned a lot about excel and people that I work with do think I am a "wizard." The funny part is I just googled everything and learned as I went.
This is the sort of video everyone wants... A video by a guy who is actually good at stuff and a legend at the same time...
I have two hot CZcamsr girlfriends and I am the best CZcamsr ever and YOUR savior. Good bye dear goa

You should finish learning the backflip itâs really easy when u get it
He's already said he just doesn't feel comfortable doing it. I'm in the same camp, I've tried to backflip for years but there's some part of my brain that just freezes up and prevents me from doing it. It would be cool if he could do it, yeah, but just because it's easy to do doesn't mean it's easy to learn.
@@purpleheart3000 If you don't fully commit you get hurt. The first time I did it successfully, I didn't give my self time to think and I landed it. Front flip is easier to learn yet more difficult to perform than a backflip because there is less of a mental block. You can see while you are doing it so you are less afraid.
Obviously
I know where hes coming from .... in a swimming pool i land on the water feet first easily ... .. on solid ground i freeze havent even attempted to do one through fear .
It would be cool, but it wouldn't be cool if he gets hurt :/
Vauxhall novas are so easy to steal because if you take out the hazzard switch and put it in upside down the ignition switches on, then you just bump start it
Excel is the best skill someone can learn. It makes youâre life so much easier. I also learned it in University and let me say that the professor didnât teach anything. Everything was self taught with a few examples he did show but stated it was his intellectual property so we only go to see it for that lecture. But what I did find funny was my professor said that âyouâre job is to do as little work as possible and get the computer to do as much of the work as possibleâ. He was not kidding about that statement.

for the monster can one you can do something similar with a piece of paper and a flat surface. so if you blow on the paper right you can make it flap up and down but it won't move and it will like slap the table a bunch really fast.
