Now they two are ranked Nr. 1 in 2019 Mol is counted as the best Blocker and best server.

[@dazomatictheillmatic]

And sorum best defender ... getting the world number 1 tips before they were world number 1s. This was like a month before they won like 3 5-stars in a row

[@joshz6236]

evandro got best server award lol

[@lorenzomuller1952]

and look at them now

[@cooltigermusic]

You guys make the most advanced beach volleyball videos. thank you so much for this.

[@BeachvolleyVikings]

Great video guys!! Can't wait to do more with you in the future ;) Keep it up!

[@slax6524]

Very cool guys ;)

[@manonguyen9016]

Great insight, I wish these videos were around 20 years ago when I was younger and could still jump...

[@yoboyyash22]

These tutorial videos are so good also enjoy the fact that yall feature the players that are specifically good at the skill or have good insight on the skills execution. The part where he basically described that let the attackers hitting arm cut you in half and not be standing on either side of it and going up a bit after the attacker really golden.

[@cafecubita]

That is some high quality content right there!

[@-beno-]

'Hitter' styles? 1. Hit harder - ALISON 2. Hit smarter - DOPPLER 3. Never hit - DALHAUSSER

[@denisnedorezov2483]

BENO i lol’d

[@Albonkaren]

Hitn't*

[@vineethchohan4303]

Great video. In fact, I like all the videos you guys make. Could you please do a video on certain rules of beach volleyball. There is so much confusion on the internet about the following rules. 1. 2 on 2 vs 4 on 4, key differences. 2. Indoor vs Outdoor key differences. 3. How to receive on a hard serve? Can you receive "open hand" on a serve? 4. Block hits; How many hits do you have after a block touch? The FIVB rules say Indoor has 4 hits, including the block and outdoor has 3. But I have seen in a few games where people take three additional hits after a block touch. I would greatly appreciate it if you could please clarify the above questions.

[@melinosis]

watched 3rd time in 2 years, and only now understood what a gem. this changes evertyhting.

[@DJMatthewDC]

OMG MCKIBBIN BROS! YOU HAVE ON MY TWO FAVORITE TEAMS TO WATCH ON ONE VIDEOS!!! GREAT WORK GUYS!!!!

[@raitisozolins5647]

Great video! You should do one with Samoilovs/Šmēdiņš. ;)

[@katsesfotis6368]

I saw the Vikings winning the European U22 cup in Kardia in Greece a few years ago. They are a fantastic team and they are going to be the kings of the sports for sure! Great video as always by the Bros!

[@fangman21]

You guys sure picked a good pair to interview, now they're the best in the world!

[@shawnyoder2601]

that was awesome, i really like that approach to being a defender. "why did he do that" "what did i do, or what did he see to make him do that"

[@manonguyen9016]

Saw you guys play today in Honolulu during the 4's exhibition... Man, yall gotz mad ball control... Congrats on your success and keep these videos coming for guys like me who still hack the ball around with friends at 46... Keep these videos coming and kudos for creating your OWN CONTENT!

[@toyoexplore]

Finally great quality and free tutorials videos!!! Have been waiting years!!

[@darusche1411]

I saw these two in Vienna beach major..... they are absolutely crazy!!!

[@yaronleon5115]

This youtube channel is gold for every type of players. Keep on going you bearded beasts

[@mb82314]

Awesome Video!!! Funny that the MCK Bros interviewed Mol and Sorum right before they blew up. Now they're on the 1st place on the world ranking…. love the content you provide for the beachvolleyball community. keep it up

[@nolajoe580]

definitely one of your best videos. i love this Norwegian team and pretty much everything they said makes sense.

[@Mirrorflip]

It was some good info. Definitely high level stuff. I also like how you two brothers are definitely taking in just as much advice as the rest of us. XD

[@fredericmoritz3286]

Incredible guys. Watched them play at Major series final in Hamburg. Unbelievable what they achieved since this video

[@-beno-]

VIKINGS - NO BEARD /// BEARDED - NO VIKINGS this is the new style

[@user-5unhv7un]

One of the most useful tutorials on this channel

[@vbsand5882]

These guys just killed it in Gstaad!!💥

[@michellebyrd979]

Excellent content per usual: Anders and Christian, thanks for the great insight!! 👍 The beard shots though to transition between bros 🤦‍♀️😆

[@Machinegunman83]

Another precious tutorial from the best beards in beach volley!

[@MaytooHD]

I tried to lean and not fake, ended up breaking my ankle

[@infernal..]

[@therockandlau]

Desde Argentina, gracias! thanks you make clear a lots of things !!

[@toyoexplore]

Shout out from Seattle WA! You guys are awesome! Y’all should come down to seaside Oregon August 9 to the biggest amateur beach volleyball tour.

[@chanleystow]

So helpful!

[@MAMP]

This is pure volleyball gold

[@DennisRajden]

Amazeballs! Nice to see some fellow Scandinavians as well! Keep it up 😉

[@matthewmanalili9581]

Have you guys done a video on setting yet? I'm looking for differences between indoor versus beach techniques, tips on how to set in the wind, and if there are differences in what's a good set or not depending on what tour you're playing on (AVP, FIVB, etc.). Keep up the good work!

[@davidsmucenieks3777]

This video is great. Thanks!! Also it's nice to see Latvians in your tutorial.

[@andreaslindsethpettersen1482]

I've been waiting for this, love both channels

[@andreaslindsethpettersen1482]

Of course a proud Norwegian

[@evanderfernandes53]

Thanks nice video! I'm a player here in brazil and use these tips in my training or game! Congratulations good job!

[@rainyt3028]

Nice Video! You taught me a lot about Volleyball. Thank you guys

[@invisiblemenproduction]

Best video on KZbin!!!

[@charlesdicus6451]

I'm not sure what you guys have in the works but a video that would be useful to me is reading the defense, or at least knowing how to beat the defense. I have special trouble when cross is blocked and I'm trying to hit there. I have no real choice but to roll over the block and it makes me readable. Thanks again tho, this one was super helpful

[@charlesdicus6451]

The McKibbin Brothers thanks for listening

[@David-cp6rl]

It's like a game of Poker... And that dude has some huge hands

[@Pau1danelli]

This is the best video you guys have done.... ❤️

[@joelkarn6280]

I'm thinking about buying the same tucker hats you two use for me and my brother. Which ones do you guys use, foam front or not? Love your videos! ♡

[@benwilson5956]

Can you guys do a video on how to see the court when you are swinging?

[@paulcruz7858]

Awesome video! Is there anyway you can do How to read the defense while hitting?

[@TyP3nb]

Amazing stuff! Thank you McK bros!

[@lordmcgraw]

Kudos to y'all for another great video!

[@Kiesanator14]

Love the video guys. Wondering if you could do a video maybe talking about the difference between playing indoor vs sand volleyball or how to transition playing between the two. I just finished up playing in college indoor and love the idea of playing sand doubles. I have played a lot of sand in the summer time out of season, but would like to learn more and possibly play in more tournaments. Love everything and keep up the great work. I hope to possibly meet you two one day at a tournament.

[@xcver]

To me they are actually the best Beachvolleyball Team right now

[@matthewflack6578]

Hey McK bros. Can you guys do a video on best sunglasses for Sand Volleyball?

[@luislacno3115]

[@tkielion]

So they talked about a lot of things but never really clarified what about those things. Now we know what to watch but what about the set, approach, and hand am i looking for? Thanks!

[@lucyhyeonjeonglim5983]

[@Andreasxxz]

Love the video! I snapped your channel up from Christian's snapchat.. looking forward to seeing more of the bearded brothers ;)

[@олегкалиновський-э3д]

Great advices!!

[@surfin766]

Good discussion

[@completenincompoop3900]

I don't know about y'all but I have never played on sand that is as flat and perfect for movement as I see in all these videos.

[@Cheesecakes2196]

Great Video

[@Emily-yq4bl]

love the transition using the beards

[@SnailKingGY]

Time to put it into practice.

[@JustVolleyballHD]

Nice intro i really dig that :D

[@tidalwave1959]

Love it!!!

[@tylersearight6662]

That's great blocking advise! Now if only my armpits were at the tape, I'd have a chance...

[@evanvuong]

what should the defender be doing when their blocker is blocking ball?

[@pdxbk]

THE BEARD FADE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rudgyhrs1870]

Wow first comment... what to say? well I'll start by saying that I don't play volleyball or beach, but I'm currently searching for a club or partner. Any beginner tips?

[@makhuphukamnguni9782]

Bros make a video about how evandro and Andre have been dominating but against the Germans they fell apart.... I got some few hunches but I'm not sure

[@larrypheavbeach]

Gold gents!

[@AndrewSalinass]

Infooo on pointttttt

[@BoyMonkeyKid]

Is any of this applicable to regular volleyball

[@gabrielmoik7125]

Well now you have a video with 2 in a row Major winners ;)

[@franzgattes]

"You agree?" "That's the point!" "You agree?" "Perfect!" "Brother, do you agree?" "I don't care!" :D

[@franzgattes]

[@serjoklein6891]

I finished to watch all the videos.. its a sad day..

[@bballinbasics]

4:46, "I start with the 5," what is the 5??

[@1nf3ct3dTT]

I think he means blocking the ball without commiting line or diagonal fully. Try to read in the air. (which he can do because he is high as fuck lol). for us mortals its hard to do that

[@robinseyfarth44]

Is there any chance to get your merch in Germany without paying 75 bucks for shipping? :(

[@robinseyfarth44]

@@themckibbinbrothers no problem, maybe one day ;). Keep up the good work, i love your content!

[@louisjl23]

So, disappointed by lack of mustache twists in this episode. Not one to use for the Maddison McKibbin Drinking Game that is obviously going viral!

[@louisjl23]

We will get a crew together to show how its done...We wont use the SandCast as we would die...

[@undisclosed_name]

Alison is honestly one of the easiest hitters to read. No wonder Mol blocked him 9 times here. Alison often tries to brute-force his attacks through a block without much thought. He doesn't use his brain, which leads to poor decisions, then gets angry and lashes out at others. A very ignorant player.
