I do, I'm 36 and a single fall will put me out for a month. I wish I was 10

[@MattiusFincham]

Mitch, this isn't just a masterclass in teaching skating--this is a masterclass in how to TEACH. You're BRILLIANT, mate!

[@kimbordallo924]

Agree

[@djmax01]

Exactly. I've never seen anyone explain skateboarding the way he does

[@D5Linugami]

Yea for real!!! Thanks to L. RON HUBBARD FOR MAKING THIS ALL POSSIBLE. Yo shoutout Aaron kyro for keeping this Scientology skate thing going. Let’s get everyone into Scientology now! Yay

Mitchie is soooooo patient. Absolutely refreshing to spend time watching his full teaching session!

[@jimlynch5776]

Must have a good memory of how long it took to master all this.

[@Ds92817]

As a 41 year old man who gave up skating over 20 years ago I can’t believe how many of your videos I’m watching Mitchie - you have a gift brother! It’s so refreshing to see someone so talented at a sport teaching so effectively at such a high level; I imagine it feels really natural and simple to you, but I can assure you, what you’re doing when your teaching (and the way you interact with students to educate, encourage and inspire) is absolutely phenomenal. I used to watch videos with you in (xgames etc), see how technically gifted you were and think clearly your gift was to skate…. now I see that that was prep work for your real gift, which is to teach. Only downside of this business model is it’s not scalable, as there’s no one as good as you who can teach and inspire as well as you…. So there’s not enough time in the day or countries you could visit to share your gift with others in person! That’s why the KZbin is so effective and helpful though, and we’re all so grateful for it. Keep safe man, look after yourself, and keep on doing what you do. You deserve all the happiness in the world man. Thanks Mitchie Brusco, from the bottom of my heart. The world needs you brother!

[@arthurkennington5578]

I could watch this all day. Feels like I’m hanging out there with him for the day. You’re an awesome guy Mitch!

[@lyricalize2344]

Yeah I agree!!

[@-notplato6465]

This dude is taking skateboarding in a great direction…supportive and really helping these kids grow and have conference. Good work on the board and good work in the world.

[@Nirvey]

Best teacher in the world. So empathic, nice and friendly, and you are feeling those accomplishments of your skaters! That‘s how its gonna be done.

[@nicslo7929]

If my skateboarding comes up ever in conversation so does Mitchie and his lessons. Great teacher.

[@dima-n6q2c]

I don't speak English very well, but when I watch 10-20 or even 30 minute videos in my language I can't understand the theory of the trick and how to do it correctly, but you... bro you have absolute talent I learned through ollie to kickflip from your shorts, I started to stand better on a skateboard and just skate cooler just because of your advice. thanks for your creativity, i adore you!

[@SKATEiQ]

Keep it up

[@soulvlc]

I don't even skate and have watched the whole video across. Real congrats from Spain Mitchie, I really admire what you are doing!

[@SKATEiQ]

Hahaha that’s awesome

[@klock_tax3150]

2:05:51 I ain’t gonna slide past this without saying nothing😭 that aside this was a great video that covers a little bit of everything. And you can really tell Mitch cares for his students with how supportive and smart he is as he’s conveying his lessons to these kids.

[@charmainecalvino7209]

lol it was cute I love mitchie so much

[@workrestandplaysnooker]

There are very few people on this planet that have the ability to teach while leaving their ego at the door. You sir are one of them. Talking the talk and walking the walk while showing people of different abilities the groundwork they need to progress 👌🏻👌🏻 P.S Where were you in the late 80's early 90's? I could have done with your coaching then 😂😂😂

[@Micaiah-j7t]

You broke the teaching ceiling again Mitchy your great!

[@nuckelavee-4993]

I stopped skating almost 4 years ago. And after watching a lot of this channel, I found the drive and passion I have for skateboarding again. This morning I got up and went straight to the skate park, and started practicing transitions and rolling out fakie. An older guy showed up and saw that I was struggling with carving the bowl, and he gave me advice to make it easier on myself. He asked me if I watch Skate IQ, to which I said “Hell yeah I do” 😂 I cannot find words to explain how much this channel has improved how I approach skating, how I skate, and my motivation to get out and get on the board. You’re doing god’s work Mitchie. Thank you ❤

[@tomasgarza1249]

Mitchie what you are doing it's amazing, you are a legend!

[@spartanbegginner909]

hahah the carnage of that kickflip clinic section, you've got more patience than most great to see

[@ShouldHaveBeen]

I remember seeing Mitchie's first mega ramp appearance. I remember seeing him land the 1260. He is now making sure future skaters can call skateboarding their own for generations to come. This is the most venerable path he could have chosen. I will no longer be calling him "Little Mitchie Brusco" nor just "Mitchie." I am proud and honoured to call him "Coach." You humble us all, Coach.

[@SKATEiQ]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@ShouldHaveBeen]

@SKATEiQ Truly a privilege. Thank you for not just resting on your laurels. We're all so proud of you.

[@ronanmorris6843]

Valley is the hero of this video! Great stuff Mitchie!

[@SKATEiQ]

for sure mvp

[@iai333]

I would really love a video from you about handling fear in skateboarding. I personally can overcome any technical issue with time when learning new tricks but the fear is what stops me. It is most visible with drop ins. I can do them on really small ramp but on larger one I'm stuck. It works with assistance from someone else (they don't event have to hold my handls, they can just stand beside me) but when in comes to commiting on my own I just cannot move, like I'm frozen. I would really prefer to just try and fall but I physically can't.

[@etienneschott4585]

Same issue for me... Droping in a Big bowl, with someone down on it pretending he would catch if I fall (but actually doing nothing) and drop again and again... He goes away and then fears come again...

[@xaqueness]

i have this issue too. i was scared learning to drop in on a 2ft quarter, but had some kids coach me through it. a few days later im on a 4-5 ft mini ramp closer to home with my wife and buddy trying to get me through my fear. 2 things got me through it. 1st, falling.... something about falling shows you that you can get back up, and that its not so bad. (granted i was icing my hip for the next week) 2nd, at my wife's suggestion, i turned my music way up. it helped really block out everything else. the jam was so present i didn't have any more room for the fear. it was pretty wild, but now when im feeling scared trying something, i hit that volume +++ hope it helps

[@MatthewDavis-p2p]

Just try not to sit at the top of the ramp and think about it too much! The longer youre up there the more time you have to over-think. When i was,getting used to dropping in on vert, id try to get up there, ant the board and jist go before i get too hyped

[@iai333]

@@xaqueness Thanks! I'll try the music, didn't do that before.

[@iai333]

@@MatthewDavis-p2p Yes, you are right, the not-overthinking is the key and sometimes works for me. But I need to have a "good day" for that. One small tip from me, which may help someone else. It helped me to drop on ~2ft ramp. When I stand on top of ramp and stare at skateboard I'm scared shitless. What helped me was to move my body towards the skateboard, so that my head is somewhere near the nose of the skateboard (you don't have to commit yet, you still stand on your back foot so it is not so scary). This changes perspective and the drop does not seem so scary anymore. Unfortunately this does not work for me on larger ramp :(

[@jensenacklese3049]

The fact that I'm 40 years old and still learned from this video is a testament to Mitchie's teaching

[@gizmakthegushaa5707]

im so glad i found this page this guy is a master teacher, me and mykid are going to love watching and learning from you thank you

[@SKATEiQ]

I’m happy you guys are liking the long forms ! I personally love them because it just shows the raw strategy the best

Mitchie, You're just such a cool teacher! It's always so satisfying to watch your videos! I wish you visit Czech Republic some time!

[@SKATEiQ]

that would be so sick!

[@bennyg949]

So awesome to see Valley, Pepper and Mills as well as the rest just learn so much... not just the tricks, but how to overcome the mental battle and just be present. Mitchie..... well done again... you're patience and respectfulness is just all time...

[@ezrhino100]

Mitchie is proof that most skaters are not good at teaching. This is the best skate instruction I have ever seen and it confirmed a lot of what I kind of discovered by trial and error.

[@SKATEiQ]

i was wondering which direction this was gonna go, thank you!

[@roscoecoltrane9523]

Thank you Mitchie for all of these videos.

[@SKATEiQ]

no problem i cant believe it's getting the traction that it is

[@jibbyfoob]

All these kids are so comfortable skating transition

[@jesseissorude]

So, I just read this book "The Talent Code" and a lot of it has to do with the difference between a good coach and a bad coach. Good coaches, the book says, sometimes withhold positive reinforcement. You'll notice Mitchie isn't always complimenting students even when they have good tries. When the reinforcement is random, and always appropriate (no "good try" when the kid does half effort), it elicits more out of the athlete. SUPER sick to get to see him coach unedited. Def check out the book if you can too (Mitchie would prob learn a lot from it as well). (Another thing the book mentions is to only make one correction at a time, and use very specific language when you do it. You'll notice a lot of that in this vid too.)

[@uncannievalley]

This is perfect good wholesome vibes for me to put on in the background while working and picking up some skateboarding and teaching tips while I do

[@ethanlohr5653]

Dude, you are an excellent teacher! I’m 35 and always been a street skater. Our city just built a skatepark so I’m wanting to improve my transition skating. I’ve never had a coach before and hearing all your methods of communicating techniques are spot on what I want to hear! Keep up the wonderful work. You’re great with them kids too bro. I wish I had someone like you around when I was a kid.

[@SKATEiQ]

thanks man. I really like it and its great to see the response from everyone on this full length raw version of the camp!

[@hfrog713]

Amazing, thank you.

[@hfrog713]

50:55 something unlocked in my brain. Its like youre doing a front foot jump onto your front foot. The back foot is just shoving the board a little. He said it never flips when you keep your foot on the board but thats my problem. When I keep it on the board it tends to turn and pop too much.

[@SKATEiQ]

exactly! are you still struggling with flipping it?

[@hfrog713]

Yes I am still struggling with it flipping. Honestly it doesn't flip it when I use my toes on the edge of the board to pull it but when i actually slide with the my foot on the board i usually end up popping too hard and flipping the board primo-ish. I think I dont place my foot dead center when shuving hence why it turns on me but not sure.

[@kumapunku]

@@SKATEiQ 🗣️You the man! Just a little constructive criticism…during the “kick flip clinic” , I noticed you had a hard time getting the students to form a line and take turns 1 at a time. Marking the floor with painters tape in sections to create a physical barrier for them to visually see might make it easier. (tape can be removed easily without damaging the floor) Also , instructing everyone not to skate when they’re idle and for them to wait until it’s their turn. It seemed like you became frustrated a couple of times after giving clear instructions, just for the student to flail around like they didn’t hear you even after you asked “does that make sense?”. Separate those students from the others, they’re only going to hold back those who are serious and could use the proper coaching. Schedule them for a different day that way they don’t feel discriminated against. Do not call them out for it because they will not be able to comprehend what they’re doing wrong and it might jeopardize your reputation. Lol, 🫣 … GOOD LUCK.👍
