Trapeze Artists Try to Keep Up With Skateboarders | SELF

This time we challenged a group of professional trapeze artists to try to keep up with skateboarders. What does riding 'goofy' mean? Can these aerial performance maintain their balance on some wheels? Will we be seeing any first time ollies? These amazing athletes take on the ultimate test to see if they can move out of their comfort zones and try to keep up!

Trapeze Artists Try to Keep Up With Skateboarders | SELF

[@slashbat2375]

I'm way too invested in these two groups just mixing with each other. I want a third video, but idk what they would even do in it lmao

[@ImmortalHDizzle]

just the group all out having a nice coffee together and sharing trapeze / skateboarding horror stories with each other, come on y'all make it happen

[@mary9983]

Brunch and story time!

[@Roseannabetty]

@@ImmortalHDizzle the skateboarders could learn more trapeze stuff and the trapeze artists could learn more skateboarding

[@HypePriestess]

THANK YOU FOR HAVING FEMALE/FEM SKATEBOARDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Diversity of this series is iconic!!! Thank you!

[@quimenga]

HELLA AGREE - so affirming

[@KensieP]

agreeeed!

[@miky8788]

i agree , i love hot female skateborders !!

[@stonedalldayjedi533]

And the trans trapeze artist! Tons of diversity

[@lisalee2738]

Yeah. They are elegant and patient.

[@KJfitnessyoutube]

Skateboarding is WAY harder than it looks, the girls teaching are so cool!! 😍 And the trapeze artists are awesome too! Great series 👊🏽

[@pinksleaze]

Her wanting to make her kids proud really made me smile!! I guarantee The whole reason she signed up was for them! Kudos to her! I’m sure her kids are beyond proud!

[@igotapochahontas]

She said she's going to keep practicing it. I'm sure because she sees her kids spending so much time working on it. It's a tough one

[@Ookami31]

"You're my skate mom" - this series is so wholesome ♥

[@darcymarie3486]

My kiddo wants to learn skateboarding and wants me to learn too and this is the only video I've found that I feel actually teaches in a positive way and doesn't make me feel icky about it. I'm actually sitting here taking notes.

[@Shiva182Katarina]

So, how's it going with it? :)

[@maggienavarreteburgoin3897]

Check out Sarah park videos. She is awesome and super relatable

[@lucianisacat]

You should check out Braille Skateboarding! They're super family friendly, they have a great tutorial series, their videos are helping me learn.

[@jess3824]

hope you had continued on your skate journey. there's also Aunty Skates for some inspo. she's mostly on tiktok and IG, but really cool to see her teach other mom's to skate as well kzbin.infoJ10a2vFNxKQ?feature=share

[@xSandygirlx]

Love this series so much! Please keep it up! Especially appreciate that you always have diverse athletes, really empowering!

[@joaofarias6473]

Same!

[@julybunny7518]

Same I love this series.

[@squidhands6941]

I love this series. I want a similar series like this only it's professional musicians trying eachother instruments!

[@ptgforlife5989]

Twoset violin has done something like this before!

[@raisa6651]

Twoset!

[@viceb7]

There's a guy on here that does that! Really cool stufd

[@zoolucinka]

Yeah, I really need that too. Arts would be great as well😊

[@imdeadinside9069]

Skateboarding is so much harder than it looks lmao. These trapeze artists are learning so fast and I'm so impressed. I personally own a skateboard and a longboard, but I prefer the longboard. It took me maybe a week before I was comfortable even kicking to start on the board.

[@amongsus4198]

bro i could do all of what they did on day 1 with no help

[@amongsus4198]

k nvm not ollie but everything else i could

[@thelittlefluffybear]

Skaters are literally the nicest people. When you show respect and interest for what they're doing and skating they are amazing. It's such a nice community overall. Also, amazing that they decided to have female boarders!! We need to see more of that!

[@SabbigalAS]

I want to try skateboarding now. I've always been intrigued but way too intimated. I'd love someone like these 3 ladies to teach me a few skills.

[@thelittlefluffybear]

Do it! Just do it. I promise you that you won't regret it at all! It can be scary but the feeling you get when you dare to try is amazing. My dad always told me to "just do it", it doesn't sound as powerful on english haha, but it's basically his life quote! And he means that you just have to commit, just like they are saying in this video, and after years of boarding I realized the meaning of what he was trying to tell me. So honestly, the best advice I think you can get is "just do it"

[@SabbigalAS]

@@thelittlefluffybear perhaps in the new year come warmer weather, I'll find an instructor and actually learn a thing or two. And yes I like that philosophy! Thank you 😊

[@sangriad.938]

Omg their chemistry is so cute hahaha I can totally see them keep coming back to this skateboarding area off camera and have fun together.

[@yeracontra]

The skateboarders are so cool. I wanna be as cool as them when I grow up 😭😭😭

[@quimenga]

this is so wholesome, i love how supportive and clear the skateboarders were :)))) I started longboarding a few years ago, but this is really pulling into my desire to get a skateboard XDD

[@shanilapidot5009]

aj's personalitiy is like a ray of sunshine

[@edwardnygma.]

As a skateboarder, this is so hard! I'm surprised they picked it up so quickly, it's sick! It took me almost a year to be able to feel totally comfortable on the board even just cruising around

[@hannaa.679]

it makes me so happy to watch them succeed at the challenges and be so proud about it^.^

[@meganmiller3623]

Having already watch the opposite video (skateboarders trying trapeze), I know what amazing athletes are in the mix! It’s so refreshing to see someone so skilled trying something new and seeing that vulnerability we all feel! Loved this group/video so much, I was totally invested in the entire process. Such a great video!❤️

[@hansolo8080]

I can't get over the fact how ridiculously fly AJ's glasses are.

[@nikolaskivilahti9343]

This was the sweetest most supportive atmosphere ever! Everyone is just so sweet, the skate ladies are the coolest ever

[@meganallen650]

everyone is so pleasant and cool.

[@samgundling4948]

AJ screams positive energy and vibes

[@InoraPhoenix]

I feel like poor Mar was working at a disadvantage with a board that was a bit too small for her. Despite that though, she did incredible!

[@posermatt1293]

kinda sorta- board size doesn’t really matter too too much- i know ppl with size 13 shoe who skate 7.75s (what that board looked like). i wear size 9 shoe and skate an 8.5 which is a pretty “big” difference. my brother rides a freakin 9.5 board which you’ll never catch me riding unless it’s just messing around 😅 the most important thing is to remember that you gotta stay low and not lean your torso OVER your toes too much

[@InoraPhoenix]

@@posermatt1293 True. I've got really bad balance because of hypermobility, and always feel SO awkward on smaller boards. My first board was 8.5 and even that felt a little too small for me. I just went up to a 9.5 and while it's taking some getting used to, I'm SO much more confident with the wider deck.

[@LeslieKwan]

This series deserves more views . I love the idea of pros of two different arts swapping places to learn each other's art. It's very eye-opening, educational, and entertaining. And on top of that, the individuals involved all seem to be the most fun and encouraging people you can find. I can watch them all day long. Love it.

[@annettegonzalez2880]

I discovered this series yesterday and I’m literally obsessed I love this so much

[@emiroy710]

Mar's so cute. Beautiful voice too

[@winterkeptuswarm]

Omg i almost cry when they get each task 😭 I'm so happy for them!!

[@timbarry5080]

I love how positive and supportive everyone in this series are. It's beautiful

[@ImmortalHDizzle]

why are there no comments about how adorable AJ is omfg. literal angel. well all of them are!!!

[@thisisrenren3657]

I love all of them so much! How can 6 people all be so cute and wholesome?!

[@fernandacarvalho887]

Mar's so goood also i love this series soo much!!

[@ivanaortiz2091]

Mar is so cool!!!

[@chestersnap]

I love how wholesome and supportive everyone is in these. Mar definitely needed a bigger helmet, though

[@RainRaiderX]

Any chance we could see Gymnast keep up with Trickers? Theres some videos of gymnast being able to do tricking moves they just never thought of it. I want to see more of that.

[@LRBrown9]

They do have gymnastics and parkour, which is a personal fav of this series.

[@SpaceMonkiiBob]

I started learning how to skateboard last year and let me tell you its so freaking hard. My balance has gotten a lot better, but man I got so many bruises along the way

[@blue_moonie6610]

I love how positive and encouraging all the athlets are - no matter the sport or the video. Props to the casting directors for choosing such great people every time ❤

[@dancetx]

Amazing series! ❤️ these people did incredibly well, I could barely stay on my skateboard in my first week

[@MrsIsath]

there's not enough likes for me to give to these videos!! love the series, your channel is amazing! and the energy all the athletes give is so empowering and motivating

[@alexs.7956]

They're so wholesome!!! I love Mar and AJ so much

[@hayleybrajcic925]

This episode in particular made me so happy I love it it’s so wholesome

[@briannadau]

Really love this series! I hope we can see more athletes and sports, the diversity is so appreciated too 😍😍

[@rmannayr2129]

SKATEBOARDING IS A LOT HARDER THAN IT LOOKS!

[@thisproudnotthatproud9978]

14:25 if someone tell me that she is a professional skateboarder, I definitely believe!

[@td9451]

This was awesome! Thank you for putting this video together!!

[@XiseTK]

skateboarding is super difficult, I tried to learn for years and I kept getting bad face injuries back when I was a teenager, made my mom cry a few times seeing me all rashed up. Literally the only thing I quit because I couldn't get proficient. I did it for just under a year and could only ollie and could barely drop into a pipe. Its tough, much respect for those that take to it quickly.

[@kn0ck_0ut95]

As much as I think that most of us learned these things at younger ages, this is what I love about learning new skills/sports as an adult. The support for each other no matter the level of skill is amazing. I don't think people realize how helpful it is

[@rmannayr2129]

YAY THIS SERIES IS BACK!

[@toulinthequeen7767]

This video actually helped me skateboarding and learn tricks ❤️

[@heroinasytumbas3346]

Ilove this series so much

[@katelynnsmithington]

You guys should do roller blades vs roller skates

[@caipfernanda]

Loved them all!

[@ajgamez7817]

So much fun!

[@sae-]

Is it me or Mar’s voice is like sweet deep? Like honey whiskey ish that you just wanna listen on loop accompanying a jazz band?

[@emiroy710]

Yup yup. Its really beautiful

[@leticiapaes3745]

that was so cool, they did so well!

[@marsukarhu9477]

I love this group of people,!

[@Siiilent]

Great series!!!

[@colo_015]

this was so cute i was smiling the whole time

[@FluksWorkouts]

Sick vid!

[@fonzie.0075]

Clicked because I saw Eunice Chang and ended up enjoying the video may end up binge watching the series.

[@teehlfx5238]

It was so neat to watch Mar’s progression ❤️

[@eztivade7126]

Surf, snow borarding and skateboarding!

[@faitherific]

More!

[@Win-TerKy]

i love this videos

[@rmannayr2129]

I FEEL LIKE A MOM RIGHT NOW!

[@ThexEpicxKi]

I'm not a pro in the SLIGHTEST but it took me a few weeks to stop drifting to one side trying to go straight when I first started learning to skate so their progression so quickly is super impressive to me 😊

[@lauren2567]

They Ollie so fast omg

[@19001xi]

i dont care what anyone says, but AJ is pogchamp

[@Naturelover645]

Hopefully I see a marching band/DCI episode!

[@sngutierrez7111]

Okey, Jesse laugh is super cute 🥰🥰🥰

[@KawaiiHittchan3]

I wanna draw AJ she’s adorable lol

[@ideastudio]

can you guys do a agressive inline and quad skates

[@jaredmh90]

Agressive inline and freestyle skiing

[@MargaretMoon]

Jesse is TOO CUTE! More with Jesse Please!!!

[@reddeerskateboardscooter]

Good job guys I will let you know any tips later

[@alaynac4892]

I love mar wow

[@vanessagoddess1]

that was fun 😁

[@peachyevren5789]

Mara is so pretty🥺

[@jameycollins725]

There is no way a football player could do this as fast as the Trapeez artists who already have good balance.

[@AnarinaTV]

I like to try this. :)

[@rmannayr2129]

OMG SIERRA AND ERIN!!!!!!!!!

[@ItsMeMai1]

omg please do one with pole dancers in it!!

[@Tokahfang]

They did, it was the first one I ever watched! kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4ecq3SioJxlhrs

[@austinb1824]

Erin tho 😍😍

[@abbycroxford1297]

Omg love you guys expeshialy when they learned trapeze

[@emiliemolave2132]

I found myself clapping the whole time when they get the trick 😊 I feel like I'm the one doing it, and I don't even know how to skateboard.

[@princessalia6]

thats it after watching sk8 and this imma buy a skateboard!

[@KaitouKaiju]

They should do skateboarders and longboarders

[@chloequon7454]

U should do divers and trapeze

[@eu6744]

I feel like trapeze artists would be good at figure skating. idk why?

[@David.124]

It should have been poll dancers and aerialist and break dancers and skateboarders (footwork and grabbing your board is similar to using your hands)

[@evrythingis1]

"Trapeze Artist" LOLOLOL

[@Ceduria]

I wonder how it is going to go the oth3r way around, because both have balance, but trapeze seems to be all about arm strength, which is not important in skateboarding.

[@LRBrown9]

They actually do pretty good. It looks like it is more of 10% grip/forearm strength to hold and 90% chest & core strength to do the moves.

[@jeeither]

this made me want to try skateboarding, but I'm afraid that at 34 years old, I'm too late.

[@keepitjazzy4611]

Go for it!! I honestly don’t believe that anyone’s too old to try new things and skating is such an enjoyable hobby. I think you should do it!!

[@bxstar5276]

Why do you think too late? I learnt to cartwheel at 31.

[@jeeither]

@@bxstar5276 I'm terrified of hurting myself and I think when you're learning, it comes with the territory.

[@bxstar5276]

@@jeeither I know what you mean...

[@maurissakeller3595]

Hey! Me too! I have been thinking about it as a way to help me learn surfing. And I am 34. With not good balance. But they both just seem so cool and freeing. We can do this!

[@joesr31]

Great attempts and they were awesome for first-timers, but those were not ollies

[@cupramyun8204]

6:44 this take place in Korea?

[@onikrux]

girls telling me their fave tricks: some of the coolest tricks in the book like the bert slide, so fun to do- vs the guys i used to skate w in high school- Every single one of them : "tre flip or ur bad"

[@typ0ds]

This is a great video but kinda criminal they gave them some Walmart/Amazon boards

[@lisajames295]

The girl trapeze artist is so precious. 😁🥰

[@haveawonderfulday279]

I think there are two girls :)

[@kimwaddell4577]

I tried skateboarding b4 and it didn't go to well

[@gastronomist]

AJ looks a bit like Melanie Leishman.

[@m_lmh]

I really like skateboarding but my parents said if you get better grades in math and you go to clinic in January I will consider buying it but the skateboard is actually supposed to my bd present but they HAD to this 😤😤
