for anyone afraid to fail.

[@ZackDowdy]

You rule Jake, thank you for being such an authentic video creator, inspiring all of us. It was a pleasure meeting and skating with you, so stoked you got the tre flip!!

Today I had a job interview. I was not prepared at all due to my college exams. And was not willing to give this interview. I had such a mental resistance to it that I had to make physical effort to arrive for that video call. Turns out, it was the best interview I ever gave. Dont know if I will be selected; but I really enjoyed it and it helped build my confidence.

Are you an engineer by any chance?

[@stickmanjournal]

This video is just a piece of art, I really love how it was composed, the music background, shoots, etc.

[@thebenevolentlight]

I decided to make some overdue changes in my life after watching ‘for anyone afraid to make a change / try something new’ videos. I’m so stoked for this one!

[@JakeFrew]

Ah no way! That's amazing! So stoked to hear that 🤘

[@xvxxvx4750]

I quit my job last week, it was well paid and now, who's knows but, this video is at the right time and just another inspiration tool to not be afraid. Thanks Jake!

[@edisonvuong]

Reminds me of a sign I saw outside a coffee shop one time. F.A.I.L. First Attempt In Learning. Love the message!

[@Gvision]

I know that feeling of skating and being so close. I recently came across your channel and it’s helped me. This video I truly connect with. Don’t ever stop these videos. Happy holidays

[@JakeFrew]

Ah man I'm so glad to hear that. Thank you!!

[@manuelbassiere4843]

You truely are the one that makes me want to make videos, yours are inspiring keep it up

[@JakeFrew]

That's the best thing to hear ever, thank you so much!!

[@rudraansh7667]

I feel the same way! Just wow! The visuals! The storytelling🤩

[@j.a.c4459]

The fear of failing was the number one thing holding me back from creating my own channel…but then I just said “screw it” and accepted that failing was necessary to grow. Great video!

[@Kbdiverart]

I have a Skateboard but I never really took the time to learn. It did give me a whole new respect for people that do it because it throws that ego right out the door. It's not if, but when you will fall that has always intimidated me. Thank you for this video! You are truly an inspiration.

[@JakeFrew]

Thanks so much Katie!!

[@peterkovacs2412]

You're the only KZbinr who doesn't give out advice as an all-knowing guru but instead talks about fears, failures and slow growth potentials instead of 5 min lifehacks. That's why I love you man

[@sebastienrteller]

rare are the things that are more inspiring than watching skaters fail and fail numerous times until they ultimately finally land their trick. that stuff makes you feel like anything is possible for you as well. Love the stuff as always Jake!

[@madeyes1237]

I'm not a skater, but I'm into skiing. I hit my first 360 this year and the feeling of hitting it was soo good! I am still scared to try more things, mainly because in the back of my head i think I'll hurt myself, which would mean not being able to work or ski until i can heal. Every time I failed the 360 though, it never hurt. I keep letting fear of getting hurt get in the way of progress. Thanks for the inspirational video to help me get over fear of failure.

[@bargrau20]

I can say it with 100% confidence that JAKE FREW is the most underrated KZbinr. The amount of emotions that he triggers and his unique style of storytelling. That gets you to feel him, understand him, and like know him as your friend. I just love your channel Jake, you’re awesome. Keep it up friend!

[@scottkeenan6339]

Amen

[@quimblyjones9767]

Man I really admire you. There are so many things that you do that I feel are just out of reach, scateboarding to living in a van... These are so much of what I Aspire to do and honestly it's so great seeing you doing it all. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

[@davidyule3605]

Yes. I don’t think I realized this until pretty recently. A quote that was front and center on my mom’s refrigerator.. “change is inevitable, growth is optional.” Growth requires work, and as you pointed out so well, it usually involves failure. It’s how we learn, if we pay attention. Thanks Jake, for sharing your vulnerability… and your success.

[@melovechann]

It's so amazing how someone can live such a similar life with you and share your own feelings and thoughts. I love this channel and Jake, because I see that someone understands me soooo damn good. Thanks for your videos, wise words and motivation that you give us! Congrats on this 360!

[@TyronePingHerpingSouthAfrica]

Nothing like the feeling of a trè flip no matter how sketchy! Loved the comparison on drawing from skateboarding, and how it helps in everyday life. Always appreciate your videos Jake.

[@AdventureswithAaron]

One of the best videos I’ve ever seen. As a ninja warrior there’s a sign up at my gym that says “If you’re not falling, you’re not trying” And sometimes I get in my comfort zone and I just do what I know I can do. This inspires me to step out a bit-so thank you.

[@RecapturingLife]

I just got home from biking across america and I felt this. Just getting the courage to believe I could was a journey but actually being out there. Trying and failing over and over again until you get a little bit stronger and you can go a little bit further is such a rewarding feeling. There was a day in Montana I kind of said fuck it and attempted to do a 100 mile day. I didn't get 100 miles but I did do 87 miles and when it hits you that you did something far outside of your self belief, the desire to try again is palpultating. I will propably fail again but eventually I will succeed and go beyond. You really do have to try. I'll be biking around the world and I am excited to see what lessons I learn. You can't grow if you don't fail.

[@bostondonmtb]

Jake, you have the unique ability to create a video just when I need it. I have been putting off my starting my "Over the Bars with BostonDon" project. I beat myself up about it on a near daily basis. I want it, I know it will be fun, but I fear that it won't be good enough. So this week I have been putting energy towards making it happen. Fear is certainly a roadblock for a lot of people, but as you or your friend said in the video, think of how you will feel once you do it. You exemplified it when you did your trick. It is relief and accomplishment, but more importantly the smile that you showed us all. That is what I want for myself. Smiles for everyone. So what if my videos aren't exactly "professional" looking or sounding, what really matters is the story that is being told. Thank you for being you. I hope you have an awesome Christmas and New Years Eve. I will hit you up in the New Year. Let's all "Keep Smiling"!

[@AndrewKnepper]

I completely agree. People need to learn failure is what drives people to success. I consider myself lucky that I've not been someone who's afraid of taking a chance and fail. Thanks for making this awesome, beautiful vid!

[@peterivan22]

F.A.I.L. - first attempt in learning, something I keep having to remind myself, no one person is born with success from the word go, Abraham Lincoln was defeated in various elections 8 times and failed in business twice. Happy for you man and love the video!

[@romanaandewan]

Love your videos man. Not just the message, but the editing and shots. Beautiful arc to each one. Thanks

[@robsbph]

I miss watching your videos, when I feel sad, or depressed, your videos always help me. I've found a place on KZbin where I can find motivation and keep going. Hope you are well

[@junnyappy]

The intro is sickkk, having watch many of your inspiring videos, this just adds another one to the record. Keep inspiring and never stop posting.

[@JakeFrew]

Thanks so much!! 🙏🤘

[@darkcloud2982]

You inspired me to take chance for the things i’m so afraid to fail in.. Thank you so much..I always keep coming back to your videos whenever I start having self-doubts

[@AbhishekSharma-dz8ux]

I don't know how these 9 minutes passed quickly . Love you jake ❤️

[@JakeFrew]

🖤🤘🙏

[@cristopherdasilva2503]

The final shot... Just amazing

[@justanotherjosh1]

Your storytelling is so raw and real. Thanks for making this man. As someone who listens to a lot of motivational speeches & reads books on success I’ve embraced that there is no failure just learning. Can’t get ahead in a comfort zone cheers jake best wishes for the new year

[@Heyimshrishti]

Lately I’ve come to the realisation that I need to make some MAJOR changes in life for my overall wellbeing. Oddly I’ve been pretty anxious because what if I fail? What if I can’t do it? So this was SUPER encouraging and made me feel better. A much needed mindset shift. Thank you! ❤️

[@feliciafullwood]

mannnnn i still cant get over that shot of you skating with the heli in the background. absolutley insane jake!!

[@JakeFrew]

Yoo thanks so much Felicia!! I love that shot so much haha, probably gonna keep using it in vids to come 😂

[@FROADER]

I like all of the Huntington Beach (my hood) clips again! It's good you realized this lesson at a younger age... I'm 45 and still struggle with not allowing myself to fail. Another great video, sir.

[@kflecha1]

It’s about believing in yourself no matter how much you fail. Stand up and keep going and keep trying. Uff power message 🙌🏽 love this video 💕✨

[@AlexAndMars]

Great storytelling as always, Jake. Fear of failing is always something on my mind and keeps me from getting started. This was helpful, so thank you. I loved that ending with the fade-out. Happy holidays!

[@coldpizzask8shop]

Needed this! Thanks Jake

[@abdullahhfaisal]

Just thank you, thank you so much for this video, it's as if something I needed the most right now and is so relevant to me personally, also besides that have been following your channel for a very long while now, am super happy and proud to see your channel grow. Much love!!!

[@visualsofhim]

your videos are the push that i always need! thank you for always inspiring me in so many ways jake. ilysm 🧡

[@JustWojtek]

man... I love your filmmaking and storytelling style. I'd be keen to see you making longer form videos from time to time. But I also love the sort and crips ones!

[@RavindraJoisa_Official]

I have been watching many of your videos for a few months now.. that original video of skateboard and the music was awesome.

[@joymae]

You’re in my hometown of Del Mar!!! I grew up handing out on those cliffs. Love the storyline about failure and thanks for the clips of home

[@sanaon7453]

We all fail at something. It doesn't matter how many times you've attempted at pursuing something so as long you continue to improve on what you're doing. More importantly, if your previous strategies didn't help you achieve your goals, change it up and try again. Sometimes I think we put too much emphasis on a desired outcome that we get lost in the learning process.

[@kuyaistoytv4600]

Thank you for the inspiration. Every video, every vlog, is just 👌. Keep on inspiring people man.

[@Koktis]

Oh my... This video is so good, I'm skateboarding for like 3 years now, and I felt like I can't do nothing, I'm currently learning 360 Flips too and still... I can only do it with one foot landed on the skateboard... Everything is about time, patience and.. Fear.... Thank you very much for that video and congrats for that Treflip!

[@yesterdaysover247]

your drone and mountain shots are my favorite

[@amyfollmer1412]

You are incredible. Happy holidays! Thank you for being inspiring.

[@yuranival]

ty for the vid. made me wanna pick up skateboarding and start failing again. those were the absolute fave moments of my teenage years

[@jordanjames9781]

Thank you Jake, I really needed this. God bless to you for publishing this video ☺️❤️

[@__somnii]

Awesome. That was a really cool parallel of comparing skateboarding to life in general. I also love that it's so specific and personal to you that you can tell an immersive story about it. Thanks for this!

[@TheVuk1976]

Great storytelling Jake, love it a lot. Love showing your videos also to my 8yr old daughter when there are topics like this. So she has another view on life and in a foreign language.

[@aliciascott7244]

Ah! Love all of your films. Thank you.

[@ashleymasako669]

this video came at the right moment, thank you.

[@dannyderrick]

Hell yes, Jake! Perfect demonstration of the necessity of failure. (BRB. I need to go fail at something real quick)

[@ConradRichardson]

Fellow skater here. Skating got me into making videos, helped me become an urban planner. I can totally relate Skating has taught me so much 🙏

[@AbhaySingh-ps2ej]

Hands down The best channel The best motivation Love it to my core ❤️ This channel should be this way no matter what....

[@rihanlo200606]

damn dude...... i haven't been on your channel for a almost a year..... your subscribers total went through the roof! Well done man... thanks for all the videos

[@TedAldwin]

I remembered twisting my ankles several times in landing a kickflip! Haha! Failures are just another flavor of motivation. Cheers Jake!

[@EmilySkeelsMN]

Love this! I’m going to learn how to snowboard this season, and there’s gonna be a loooooot of failure lol but I’m so excited to get back up and try again! It’s been a dream for lots of years to be able to snowboard.

[@Lifeisaview]

If KZbin would only allow to subscribe to one channel, Jake's channel would be the easiest choice. Absolutely brilliant! 👌

[@JakeFrew]

Ahh thank you so much!! That means a lot to me!

[@effinator]

GOALS!! The level of video editing/filming is SUPURB!

[@camillahyllebergphotography]

I really like this vid. Awesome filming of Zack skating.

[@bernardomonzoragubjr]

Still grinding on my channel and trying to get over that hump. Thanks for bringing this up, Jake. You are really different from other creators due to your beautiful narrative. Thanks for being so inspiring. Being real to yourself is an excellent way to do this.

[@bartekmalinowski]

Jake, I think you might be my favorite creator ever! 😃 Your storytelling is immaculate, your filmmaking and visuals are stunning, your editing is stellar. But the most important thing is that your messages always resonate with me so deeply, I sincerely feel like you're my friend in a way, even though we have never met 😅 You inspire me to create more videos, to get out there, and create something. Kudos, Jake, seriously 😁🥳

[@danex2206]

Love your videos man. The messages you share are just so powerful and inspire me to push towards my next big endeavor. More power to you bro 👊

[@AfiKoKo]

Loooved this! • • And when you landed it??! I was so happy and cheering you on! I was all smiles lol. Thank you for this video. Without failing, we may not appreciate every success. And...it makes for a really inspirational story!

[@abhay.tx__]

GREAT POWERS COMES WITH GREAT RESPONSIBILITY

[@portiaalec]

This reminds me Yuzuru Hanyu's road to the quad axel. "Effort will lie but will never be in vain" he said. I hope he will be able to land his 4A this olympic season '21-'22.

[@CoachBay]

Thanks for your video. We appreciate you being here. Happy Holidays Jake 👊

[@NickMartinIsMyName]

Loved this. Stoked you landed it at the end! I was rooting for you the whole time throughout the video. Haha.

[@Wasmm_]

Jake you always inspire me man! Your words always help me through my hardships!

[@petereberhardt4394]

Ever since I your last video that said you were in San Diego, I have been whipping my head every time I see a Transit van parked that looks like yours, wondering if I will get a chance to meet you! So stoked you got to spend some time here!

[@JackCalvinRoss]

YES! Been waiting for you to land the tre since the first time you put your attempts in your videos. So sick man, great video!

[@letitiabruintjies]

Thank you for this. My heart needed this ❤🔥

[@filmcanon589]

With this thought in mind, I did a lot of new (scary) things this year. And that's why this year was awsome! 🤩 Exactly what you say, the feeling is awesome (and addictive) Love you to!! 🖤

[@arranpbrown]

Your storytelling ability is next-level, man. Great job on this one - really enjoyed it! 👌

[@BonkersAboutAlice]

My life has been, so far, full of huge success and great achievements yet hiding behind all of that is a mountain of failures each of which I see only as stepping stones to my success. Failing is amazing.

[@maximmathonet]

Can‘t believe how good your vids are. Thanks!

[@blurrymelleface]

Thank God you're back m8......keep This stuff comin man.....Luv
