I remember doing Ollie finger flips in the 80's and ollie-ing right into my fingers and knuckles hard AF on numerous occasions bleeding fingers and grip tape burns sucked!

What size trucks would you use with a 7.75 board?

some guides it looks like people are jumping off of their front foot over and over, but this one looks like he's doing small manuals over and over. Not sure what the correct thing to do is.

He was very technical (and kind of awesome). But only street skaters that don't know much of freestyle are the ones thinking he is the godfather of FS.

Mike, Im 41, never skated and am trying to learn on my own. how do i get more control? i feel like even on carpet my board slips out so easily and i feel like fear of breaking myself and not being able to work (which is very active and unable to be done injured) is stopping me from progressing. Is it just muscle development? I know over trucks is most stable, and pressure on balls of my feet. ive been doing mini tramp exercises and plan to get a wooden balance board. Are there any body position suggestions or fundamentals related to where my head should be? I really feel inspired to master this but Im starting to feel too old to learn without inevitable injury. Any advice?

Are you guys resposible for donut skate co

Bro is an inspiración

Best. Intro. Ever. 😂😂

sweet little bumble bee I know what you want from me dubi dubi do la da dubi dubi do la da sweet little bumble bee I can be your fantasy dubi dubi do la da dubi dubi do la da

y'all gotta stop thinking Rodney Mullen did every trick, smh it comes off as if your fixated on not giving other skaters their flowers. every skater is awesome and a scientist and deserves the recognition bc skateboarding isn't easy

I guess I'm stupid because I can do a Casper 5:40 all day but I cannot do a kickflip for the life of me

Someone on IG asked how to separate shoulder and hip movement on the skateboard. I've been doing this forever, but never knew the name. I posted this videos link in the comment section and it got removed for being "intentionally misleading"....

BMX inter tube

I'm so hyped on freestyle its the best

Tennis courts are my playground of choice, my skids last for months that way

Thanks a lot for the tutorial!❤❤🎉🎉 I will attempt it with "baby penguin" walks first, though.😅

i had this thought… what if you combined this dude’s trick (sal flip footplant tailblock 180) kzbin.infomzf47IZbaNk?si=FZvLZ3pbojiDzTzO … combine these two tricks essentially… like… youd be doing a tailblock (in motion)… but maybe itd be possible? i dont see why not… im gonna give it a shot…

music makes the video insufferable, thanks for the tips with the audio off

i love learning that freestyle skateboarding exists with a lot of footwork. I don't have no skateparks in my area- and i struggle with popping tricks- freestyle looks so awesome and i bet its sooo freeing once learnt and nailed. I hope i can do these someday!!

I used to do an underflip into A primo pause on the board then down. It was my best trick.

I am just straight BINGE WATCHING these freestyle from vids from Mike. Its completely changing the way i look at skating.

Amazing video. Mike is a bad-ass instructor.

Is it ok if I exit Casper by doing half a flip instead of a shuv it

Mike, help! Basically impossible to get Waltz in Australia... suggestions?

Dude monster walks are hard😅! I did 5 and got speed though but it felt like working out my abs and ankles

Nice. I used to do this but single flip. Trying to relearn at 34 🫃

Thanks for this video. i am interested in freestyle skateboarding since yesterday when i seen Yuta Fujii on Braille Skateboarding. i can't skate but i am going to buy a skateboard when i have the money and try to learn from tutorial videos. There is somewhere called Projekts MCR Skatepark that does private skateboard lessons too. i like watching skateboard videos even though i can't skate i find skateboarding fascinating. i like watching X Games and SLS skateboard tournament videos. Whenever i see someone skateboarding in real life down the street for example i watch them.

What an utter goldmine of a channel

wish i could skate like mike when i grow up

“Safety dancing already” dead…you can dance if you want to!! Leave your friends behind! Cause if you don’t dance then yall, never learn to fly!!!

What size is a freestyle Wheel??

"Remember Switchfoot?? 😐...... 😂😂

i was inspired a while back and got a freestyle deck, thought it could double as a mini cruiser, put on big soft wheels gave a try... nope felt super unstable and begging to turn on me when just pushing... now am feeling the pull again... need some proper gear for it ... skid plates wheels right truck maybe some of my stuff will fit main thing is the skid plates...

Where do you get your tail guards??

I'm trying freestyle because I watched Rodney vs Daewon round 2 , and that first part had me like 😮" I need that"

Ollie to pogo is insane had to play that back 5 times

No, more basics please!!

Insane this has 22k views. Should be a million. INCREDIBLE filming/quality. Easy to understand. Thankful for this ❤

😮I swear I thought I was subscribed!

I recommend you guys first learn half flip

Nolphin late finger flip!! Nollie dolphin!

I'm a poor skater so I use roller skate wheels. It's pretty quiet so I like it and use it.

Damn this run is a firestorm - up there with the best runs I have ever seen

❤🎉

Super smooth contest routine, well done. Great skate style as always too

I've always done fakie big heel pogo 180 out.. anytime I do it I get claps freestyle is always respected.. only certain tricks tho 😉

People been doing freestyle tricks the whole time. We just didn’t have freestyle gear for a bit.

PIERRE ANDRE! What a great video, Mike. Thank you!

'Cause I started back up skating again, found a couple freestyle boards on marketplace for a good deal, and I've been going around everywhere talking to strangers about freestyle skateboarding while I'm catching my breath back from doing freestyle tricks all over- all over town

Communities don’t grow themselves, and hanging out with other skaters only benefits your skating.. keep being rad Mike!🎉
