This could have ended quick. Flip was the cameraman. Kick him. Kick Flip

[@bagel_deficient]

Genius

[@Cyrribrae]

Was really hoping that's how she was going to end this lol

[@DUKE_of_RAMBLE]

Duuuude.... I'm on the ball with that stuff _AND I TOTALLY MISSED THAT!_ 🤣 High five! 😊🙏🧠 _(☝️that's you, because big brain lol)_

[@screamsformemes]

34:41 I love the bro teaching his sister how to skate vibes. It always makes me smile. 1:13:31 she LOOKS SICK AF 2:10:43 thats what my dissocating looks like, yeah

[@Adamas97]

My god, I'm 8 minutes into this video and it is so much fun! Maya out in the real world is so exciting because she hates it so much. LOL

[@Stolens87]

hate that chat was mean to flip. He gave his best and is explanations kinda made sense to me. No reason to be mean...

[@Naniigans]

Stoked to see my Maya/Alveus & skating worlds collide haha. She put in work too💪 went thru all the pain, fear, mental, & physical exhaustion that comes with battling any trick.👏🔥 Apologies for the "skaters"(prob barley ollied twice in their lives) back sitting in chat, not realizing this was for entertainment, not to learn to skate.

[@Mimsyborogove923]

As a skater I just want to say, loved watching your progression, and, getting actual skate shoes will make this at least 50% easier.

[@MattMoeMedia]

Agreed

[@40_ballsensi5]

No fr the platforms were the worst shoes to try to do this in. Sketcher would have been better

[@grubbitt]

Chat was pretty uncool and unsupportive this whole time, super lame. Skateboarding is hard, but its also supposed to be fun. I think she did an awesome job for not ever even riding the thing before, especially for dedicating so much time to the trick, respect.

[@georgespencer3973]

I bet she slept good that night. That’s a lot of work.

[@samanthahamilton8869]

I would try again with non-platforms. the platform may not let your feet get good contact and feel for the board. vans are what i use. I learned an Ollie in a few hours a few years back, flat shoes for the win. you can def do it after some time!

[@Majoranimefan123]

825 viewers and only 89 likes…. Blow that button up chatters and viewers god damn. Show some appreciation

[@steveknows_420]

​​​​​​@@rapid71998you're just a hater who always comment stupid shits in this channel!

[@Kobers-wh1ws]

You’ve got it Maya! Practice makes perfect. Most people take months to learn kick flips. Even ollies. Get comfortable riding around, learn to ollie, and then get used to flipping the board! Sliding your ollie foot at an angle. Lol So commendable trying this in front of bunch of people. 💜

[@pa1g365]

Even if she didn’t land kickflip she has the rotation for a nasty hard flip or varial flip!!! And she is doing it switch as well she makes it even more wild

[@humanbean3]

how would you figure she's doing it switch? this is her first time skating yeah? this is her stance

[@synchronium24]

@@humanbean3 Maya rides the board "normal", but attempts to kick flip "goofy".

[@humanbean3]

ahhh yeah i saw that at the end. she's gonna end up pushing mongo for sure @@synchronium24

[@Infamous159]

That's because she was told to slide her back foot instead of kick down (pop). So she is inherently learning all the wrong tricks right now. If you want to learn a variable flip or hardflip or 360 flip or lazer flip or any trick that involves sliding the back foot out, then yes. Right now, completely wrong advice for her.

[@itsra1n]

lmao "until I do a kickflip" but can't even ride. Not trying to be mean, but it takes a while to learn a kickflip. You need to be comfortable and know how to ollie way before a kickflip

[@steveknows_420]

1:03:52 a few seconds of Maya doing a manual

[@DUKE_of_RAMBLE]

*MAYA:* Hopefully I can get this done by 3, because I have a meeting... *ME:* As long as you can do it virtually, from the hospital! Because that's where I see this going! 😅 _edit: Honestly... I'm halfway through and I'm _*_super_*_ impressed she hasn't even fallen yet!! That counts for something, IMO!_

[@willhudson3470]

Hi I’m Aaron Kyro a sponsored skateboarder from the san Fransisco Bay Area

[@DoubleD04]

Lmaoo AK an the boys could make this happen in 1 sesh

[@Sarah-de6lw]

Chat was so mean during this :( I hope maya continues to try if she really had fun doing this even if it’s off stream. It was incredibly fun watching you maya and it’s inspiring to see someone learn something out of their element from scratch for fun 🫶🏻

[@lynymII]

chat annoyed me so much, those comments towards flip were uncalled for

[@steveknows_420]

That's actually the reason why I never join Twitch. Too many assholes even in her own chat, people who were supposed to be her fans and followers. Annoying asswipes.

[@Sarah-de6lw]

@@lynymII ya it was quite disgusting to say the least. I hope it’s not bothering either of them cuz ik if it were me I’d be upset :(

[@Keyshawn13]

Yeah no need to be rude but could've got someone to actually teach her, she could've done this by herself and a YT tutorial tbh

[@Tocinos]

99% of them aren't skaters. The other 1% rides Walmart boards

[@thublit]

Incredible athlete. Watch the clip of her taking out Esfand with a pugle stick. She has not committed once in this whole vid. She is smart and knows what might happen if she actually jumps hard straight up while bringing both legs way up under her and then landing on an unstable wheeled board:) Best irl EVER Maya.

[@steveknows_420]

43:00 this is almost the right position for it to happen, just move the backfoot a little bit more to the tail. Most skaters do this rubbing of the shoe to the griptape to feel it before doing the pop, then jump and kick simultaneously, catch the board after it flips and then land it. Absorb the landing by crouching a little as you ride away. Yeah.

[@kettlecorn5000]

random but it’s so rare to see skater boys actually try to teach specifically women to do what they do so props to you for actually trying to teach rather than being rude about it. people like you are actually so helpful to people who are scared to enter that space so thank you!!!

[@steveknows_420]

​@@kettlecorn5000I appreciate this man, I teach kids to skate that's why. Like how to just ride all day so they get to be "one with the skateboard" lol and then better turning, going through bumps, ollies and eventually the kickflip. Once you have the confidence to rock all of it, you eventually start doing grinds and slides on ledges and then a legend is born. I'm kinda invested in Maya actually loving how to skate and making it at least a hobby of hers so she has something athletic to do and some kind of a work out routine that's also fun and enjoyable.

[@BLove0]

Good video Shrez 👍1:48:20

[@BurdFan]

Maya doing the equivalent of learning how to do a backflip before learning how to jump

[@cconnon1912]

If you ask me to run a lap I will go counter clockwise. Lol 😅 the easiest way is to have someone just stand there and then push them from behind whichever foot they step forward with their dominant.

[@steveknows_420]

Maya kept forgetting how to pump up the jam lol just jump already and you'll eventually kick it right and land it!

[@DUKE_of_RAMBLE]

DAMMIT, FLIP... *TIE YOUR SHOE!* 🤣 *_edit:_*_ And no, it's not a Sloth. It's an _*_Ewok!_* 😁😏 *_edit 2:_*_ __29:30__ hah! called it!_ *_edit 3:_*_ Hey! Awesome that Hondo subbed momentarily after calling Flip!_ 🤘 *_edit 4:_* 😳 _She's keeping her personal phone in _*_her back pocket..._*_ That's a recipe for disaster heh_ 😒 *_edit 5:_*_ So what I'm seeing is, she's not jumping first (or at least, not a functional jump lol). I'm having to agree with chat that she should probably learn to Ollie first. Without learning to jump WITH the board, I feel like she's hobbling her own efforts._ 😞 *_edit 6:_*_ On the _*_plus side..._*_ At the rate she's going, she might accidentally invent a new trick!!_ 😁😅 _The board is consistently doing a 180° flat spin in the air. If that isn't already a skate trick, it's _*_about_*_ to be!_ 🤘😫🤘 *_edit 7:_*_ haha Love that QT calls everyone out and then it was an unrelenting TTS for like 4mins lol_ 😊 _I tip my hat to them! In the end, she ended up with 100 more subs than she had when I looked at the hallway point... So I'd say this was a worthwhile venture!_ 😎👍

[@surfingthedarkness]

Chat was wiiiild during this. The backseating by eeeeverybody even those who never stood on a Skateboard 🫠

[@StillOnTrack]

It'll be interesting if you put some solid practice in the other direction next time. And I admire your confidence, but damn, people can WEEKS to learn to kickflip, and that's after they've been skating and just consistently landing ollies first. But hey that confidence and stubbornness are probably why you were able to start Alveus, so GOOD FOR YOU! Keep that up, even if it hits you in the shins every once in a while, literally or figuratively.

[@Infamous159]

The guy saying SLIDE your foot off the board instead of kicking it down???? Bro, don't listen to him please. It's called a kickflip for all of the reasons of the definition of kick completely. Kick down, kick out. She isn't trying to do a pop shoveit or variable flip or 360 flip. POP not slide. lmao.

[@Tekloiddnb]

Ive been skating for 25 years, teaching for many years aswell. worst tip for kickflips ever XD but good tries though xD also that cheap protection can splinter into your knees and shit.

[@kathmorgan3429]

You don't have to stream the shopping portions if it makes you so uncomfortable! :(

[@rod4516]

The fact that she/we realized she rode goofy after 2.5 hours cracks me up. And let's learn how to Ollie and shuvit first. Much respect though.love ur vids, Maya.🎉

[@nosebluntvs8885]

Learning kickflips before ollie is insane lol

[@louieee444]

@@nosebluntvs8885learning any trick before getting comfortable cruising is insane

[@R0B690]

From her first attempt I can already tell shes not gonna land it. Not in 2 hours, not in 2 days, not even in 2 weeks lol probably not even in 2 months unless you spend hours everyday learning to Ollie first.

[@-dubios-]

she was a skatergirl he said see you later girl she wasn't good enough for a kickflip

[@humanbean3]

lol i thought for sure she could already ollie and had been skating a while if her goal was a kickflip. at least she will have more respect for skating difficulty. even the guy cant really kickflip lol

[@SunKong-PT]

U need Jason help

[@Gleamozen]

Idk about skate boarding, but gots to feels with the board, one day for sure .

[@jpl6596]

Yea lets learn to do a backflip before learning to crawl

[@thracks]

can someone time stamp the falls, surely there are some right?

[@rybread5363]

This reminds me of when my friends and I tried skateboarding in high school. One of my friends landed on her ass so bad we never skated after 😭 kind of wish I never gave it up

[@slm50350]

Maya is a Gamer! No easy quit in her.

[@eaglesfanNate]

I write right handed but do everything else left handed 😂

[@nostralgia3203]

i always kinda thought maya was goofy

[@Stolens87]

This is incredible... seeing the people saying that this is trick is difficult and learned over weeks but she is just trying and trying and not giving up. To me, 1:14:20 already has looked like a really good try But I've got no idea. I'm just longboarding a bit without any tricks and snowboarding with little jumps and switch but nothing crazy.

[@Infamous159]

As a skater for over 15 years, kickflips are still hard. Much harder than variable or 360 flips. It takes serious control to commit a kickflip and to do it well especially off of shit.

[@thracks]

i wonder statistically how many chatters gave advice while never touching a skateboard themselves

[@Infamous159]

97%

Next time get a friend who can kickflip, there with their own board as well to teach you. If you can repetitivly watch people do it, and just try to mimic the motions of their body, if a good start. if you can get live feed back even better. I learned to 360 flip by watching TH game replays in slo mo.😅

[@DUKE_of_RAMBLE]

Ok, on the (highly likely) off chance she doesn't get it in the remaining 2hrs... Maybe get a finger board, to learn the theory on, and also have less risk to major injury? _(disclaimer: I've neither used one of those, _*_or_*_ skateboarded, so it's easily possible that it wouldn't help; I'm ok with that, so please someone correct me if that's the case ♥️)_

15:40 logically : why would a adult man steal (pink) kids skate stuff?

[@johnny1tap]

I decided to sit and watch this stream until you do a kickflip no matter what. I sent the details of how I'd like to be buried and what to do with my possesions to my lawyer.

[@ulrichminky9495]

I am guessing that Tony Hawk himself would have been happy to show you this.

[@hvjfgutufgcf7494]

its not easier with tight tracks cuz if u land with your toes for example or if you land on one side of the board it will lift the other side and it will flip and make your feet touch the ground :I me no speak enlish me no know how to explain

[@cconnon1912]

Well it was ambitious. It is very hard to do a kick flip. It takes months to years.

[@kfizz]

That's drum line practice I can hear the quitns or tenors.

[@winitOp]

practice on carpet holding on to like the back of your couch so you get used to the motion

[@AaronHendu]

She looks like a 12 year old who's older brother really needs someone to skate with.

[@KillenEMsoftly]

this is all bad but i appreciate the bravery. you should get comfortable with the ollie first and do it on grass so it's softer on your body.

"You're 45% of the way there" 30 minutes into a 3 hour video lol

Could mean 45% of the right technique, not necessarily 45% of the time commitment.

[@artistlovepeace]

Try an ollie first. smirk.

[@Eradicationist]

i learned how to kickflip from flips teachings. thank flip for me...btw back foot is not angled correctly, its easier to do with an angled back foot, instead of having the back foot going horizontal across the board preventing you from rotating it.

[@ozaffer77]

good try, I skated through most of highschool and couldn't get kickflip to land. Some catch on super quick but it's a difficult trick for others. IMO Flip was right you're not bending your knee's and jumping high enough. You were also scared to land on the board, which you shouldn't be your young padded up and your balance is good. The faster you kick off the board the less high you need to jump, learning to ollie while moving would help, gaining confidence kind of resting your legs rolling around between jumps would help too.

[@40_ballsensi5]

Maya continues to get more attractive god damn i can’t believe she’s learning how to kickflip🤩
