[@AdamCeladin]

Wow that hot delicious Espresso even melted a snow :P Love this video, Congratulation Colette! I am really happy that you did not give up as well and tried the other day like me :P It really all worth it in the end :)) Excellent job!

[@Xolette]

Haha, my twin said something along the same lines-- she thought I did this video all the same day! Thanks for motivating me to do a challenge. This was an awesome way to get into throwing again!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Great job.

[@Xolette]

Thank you!

[@vamplinvamp]

When the neighbors hear "oh no! Where'd my knife go?!"

[@Xolette]

Haha, thanks, Lian! Always a joy to read your comments!

[@jonasbeltoft]

3:06 "Right in the middle" is everywere on a bottle. But it sounds more fancy that way ;)

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

Uncanny how those dogs can teleport. Uncanny how one espresso will melt all the snow in a neighbourhood. Uncanny how plastic water bottles continues to pop up all over the globe and yet defies human attempts at capture. Uncanny how you still managed to nail one down for posterity. ... Somewhere, deep in the 80's part of my brain I can hear the distant echo, bouncing off green jungle valley walls, of Arnold going "Stick aRound!"

[@Xolette]

Editing is magic! Thanks for watching!

[@alexisjang6934]

She has been trying in the hardest conditions. more power to ya.

[@TheAdequateMedia]

Sick shot in the end. I tended to find dangerous deflections with any air pressure still in the bottle

[@fisterlendfiend2035]

Your really funny, you getting upset is probably one of the funniest things I've ever seen!

[@Xolette]

Aw, thanks, Fister!

haha all this hapiness !!!!! congrats Colette ! nice shot and glad to see you doing videos again !!

[@Xolette]

Aw, thank you, Guillaume! It felt really great to get it... since my time practicing is so limited. :D I hope to do more...as long as my babysitter (her dad) can watch her! :)

[@robertpippin3891]

GREAT job Xolette.

[@TheEnneagram]

[@GlaucoBatalhaMKT]

My congratulations, it is amazing what Adam does with the kunai, and you did not give up, really your persistence is remarkable, congratulations again !!!

[@Xolette]

Aw, thank you! I love Adam's no reload throws as well. He even got a world record for it!

[@siestatime4638]

YAY!!! Persistence wins out! But every throw on the third day was so much closer than on the first and second days - it was just a matter of time.

[@Xolette]

Aw, thank you! I felt faster... I started aiming for where I thought the bottle would land... it's interesting because you're moving more on instinct I guess!

[@ppdangler]

awesome!!!!!! knew you would get it. i just got a set of knives for christmas and watched all your videos. you truly are my inspiration to throw. I just finished my end grain target and hoping to get a couple sets of nice knives. Happy new year!!!!!

[@Xolette]

Wow, that's a lot of videos! Glad you made an end grain target. I need to build a new one myself. Happy New Year!

[@Adeptlyepic]

Congratulations! That must have been so satisfying (and frustrating)!

[@Xolette]

Oh yeah! It seems so easy... I measured it and at times I was just 1/3 - 1/6 of a second from hitting it. So glad all that work paid off. :D

[@JDavidsonSr]

That was a priceless reaction! Kudos on your accomplishment!

[@Xolette]

Thanks, J!

[@rtapatu6868]

Persistence and patience will always reward you congrats on your efforts 👍

[@Ragnar_Aevarsson]

Congratulations!!!! I love watching your videos. This is a huge accomplishment!

[@Xolette]

Aw, thank you!

[@narutokov]

GG! I definitely must try (and complete) this challenge. My new knives would arrive in couple of days. I am so excited. And your honest smile is really beautiful. :) I am looking forward to your next video :) PS.: Happy New year!

[@Xolette]

Aw, thank you! The bottle throw is really crucial to getting this right. Make sure you practice those first...and aim for where the bottle will be!

[@hopslvr314]

It is so satisfying when you stick that sucker to the board! Nice throw!☺

[@Xolette]

Aw, thanks!!

[@hopslvr314]

Your welcome and have a happy New Year to you and yours!

[@HARMARSCH2]

Ha Ha!!!! I cheered pretty loud when you hit the water bottle. Very cool. Best part was your Victory celebration 😀

[@Xolette]

Haha, awesome! That was my favorite part too. My heart was pounding stiill 20 minutes later.

[@Puffman]

Knick knack the patty’s back! VICTORY SCREECH! 4:05

[@tomgary5419]

I love this channel 😊😊😊

[@Xolette]

Aw, thanks!

[@froginatrenchcoat]

I want to be as good as you someday. You could see the satisfaction from making that shot! Go you!!!

[@Xolette]

Thank you!! I'm sure you can... I'm not the best out there. :)

[@offkilterleather9248]

Yess!! you should have cued up "We are the champions", and taken a victory lap around the yard!! :)

[@Xolette]

Haha! I would if it weren't copyrighted...but it was playing in my head. ;)

[@MegaDarryl1960]

empty water bottles are the ultimate test of skills! partially filled bottles are more dense, and move slower. But your skills are great! and your very beautiful.

[@Xolette]

To get it to flip, I had to fill it 1/4 full-- really hard to flip a bottle that's even half full and empty was too light to throw. Thanks!

[@timothytkr6554]

Do a 1000 degree knife throw

[@Xolette]

timothytkr Adam Celadin does it here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmrPmJehi8x_eM0

[@timothytkr6554]

thanks

[@g.d.7629]

Boy you are a trooper. Either put a board accross to set them on. I thought this thru If you had the board you could go down from bottles to apples or whatever!!!! Throw reg darts cheapies in the house that will get you precise. You are sticking the knives good!!! put a 2x2 or 4x4 accross target to set stuff on.

[@emilymiller5081]

i'm so happy you're back

[@emilymiller5081]

like your laugh makes me laugh ya feel me

[@Xolette]

Aw, thanks, Emily!

[@emilymiller5081]

AH DEAD NOW IM SO HAPPY DOES ANYONE SEE THIS

[@emilymiller5081]

Xolette you are why I throw!!

[@shelbykingnfs7216]

yay!!!! I knew you'd get it in the end. well done. I could never hope to be able to do that but that was AWESOME!! great job😁

[@Xolette]

Thank you, Shelby!

[@8thsinner]

[@Xolette]

Happy to spread the joy. Thanks!!

[@SimplyCanadian]

I seen your intensity ramped up after the baby cried.. Working out some stress? lol

[@caseykearin6310]

First off congrats on the challenge! I was wondering if you made that knife sheath yourself? I'm looking for something similar that can hold multiple throwers

[@derwinbarton782]

good job👌👏

[@Hobby_ADD]

Great job! You make me want to try it

[@Xolette]

Thank you! Yes! Be sure to practice that bottle flip beforehand!

[@Hobby_ADD]

Most definitely

[@knice7359]

Practice, practice, practice and more practice, practice, practice and more practice...................!

[@Xolette]

...makes perfect. :)

[@robertjohnston6723]

Awesome! Great job!

[@Mastermind8908]

Congratulations, X. Now go get that apple and show it who's boss. ...Oh, and Happy New Year. :)

[@Xolette]

Haha! :) Happy New Year!

[@dragonesq4]

That was cool . Well done. If you want to continue practicing that I suggest perfecting the bottle flip first on a table, I noticed more often then not the bottle was flat angeling. I figured out the secret to doing a bottle flip I know this will sound weird but you want the bottle to rotate around the water without a lot of movement from the water itself, To accomplish this hold the bottle flat palmed so your wrist points to top still the bottle so its not sloshing when you go to flip the bottle you kinda snap rotate your wrist while your tossing it up when done properly the water will not move much so the bottle will face more straight up and down then sideways.

[@Xolette]

The bottle flip for this challenge was key and easy to overlook when doing this challenge. Thanks for the advice!

[@bbridges100]

First try lol. Great job 👍😊

[@Xolette]

Thanks!

[@rhipotter6191]

love your vids BTW

[@Xolette]

Thank you, Rhi!!

[@ronnybray5175]

For some reason I thought you lived in Florida, great job on the challenge. Everything looks correct, just need to work on timing. It took me a couple of hours but I can nail 8 out of ten throws. I really hope you don't give up on the rope dart, seeing that would brighten my day

[@Xolette]

Yeah, me too-- rope dart would be great. Just don't have the time for my hobbies now with my baby! Especially with the nature of these outdoor sports (plus, it's too hot for her to be outside!)

[@ronnybray5175]

Xolette , glad you are prioritizing your kid first. But really how old will your kid be before they start throwing, pretty sure everyone wants to know.

[@XoletteLife]

Ronny Bray Usually I've heard kids being allowed around 4 or 5... but a great thrower started his son at age 2 I believe. His KZbin channel is "bushido" something with several numbers at the end. Anyways, sometime around then when I think she's ready! I'm a believer in doing sports-like activities earlier rather than later!

[@hyoobeezhabitz]

dope! that was perfect!

[@Xolette]

Thanks, Hypnos!

[@wame930]

Good job! :)

[@Xolette]

Thank you!

[@echampine]

Congrats and Happy New Year :-)

[@Xolette]

Thank you! Happy 2017 to you as well!

[@nolan659]

xolette what kind of throw were you using? I know it is a no-spin throw but I've never seen it before and it looks good, do you think you could explain how to do it in one of your videos?

[@Xolette]

It's most likely a hyrbid of a few of the styles of no spin throwing. Read more on Flying Steel's site: flyingsteel.com/throwing-info I love the Fedin Technique and try my best to replicate that throw... it's not exact. You can check my Fedin Playlist on my channel. It has some instructional videos from other KZbinrs to get you started. Yury Fedin has passed away but his daughter Olga has a channel. I'd love to explain it in a video-- but tackling it is complex. For now, I made this video explaining how to throw spikes, and it's pretty similar, though the grip is a bit different: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHXKm3eaiJuCiqM

[@Dark83Noodle]

Whoohoo!!!

[@Xolette]

:D

[@Dark83Noodle]

Xolette I was watching it and when you got it... It looked beautiful. I actually cheered 😂 Feeling the frustration of picking up the bottles to throw them again and again and again

[@kiaragomez1176]

that was awesome

[@Xolette]

Thank you, Kiara!

[@marcuschavez4276]

Hi xollete I was wondering if you could do a video where you throw stuff in the air for example fruit, toys, etc and try to hit it with a knife I was also wondering if you were doing any giveaways because many youtubers are doing them but if not it's ok. Thanks for having such an awesome, funny, and intertaining channel.

[@Xolette]

Thank you for the request, Marcus!

[@khaleoprice1536]

That's really cool you are the one who got me into knife throwing and i"m 12

[@dylanlanteigne1077]

what size would you recommend for a beginner

[@Xolette]

Read the description to my "Best Beginner Throwing Knives' video.

[@skewerthis1234]

Woah what kind of espresso maker is that!?! I want one...

[@Xolette]

It's Rok! Link in the description. (It was an early Christmas present from me to my husband.)

[@zytaxwarflame]

f-ing amazeballs.

[@TheAdequateMedia]

Hey I’m gonna give you a genius hint right now. Squeeze all of the air out of the bottle first leaving about 65% water

[@KidClassics]

wooooo!

[@Xolette]

:D

[@lanigirognithemos]

50% of this video looks like my current level. The 50% fail part! LOL! btw 2:10 looks like there might have been something more than just coffee in that glass ;)

[@Xolette]

Haha! :)

[@anrdaemon7115]

Congratulation! :)

[@Xolette]

Thanks, Anr!

[@GovtWatchdog]

John did it.

[@Xolette]

No, I did it! :)

[@JacobBelanioProductions]

Note: If Xolette drinks an espresso before killing someone, people will probably think she's Harley Quinn lol!

[@Xolette]

:)

[@clarencebennett3624]

Build a snowman and practice on Frosty

[@robertpippin3891]

It seems like knives would be easier to find in the snow. MINE would be in a drawer in the house, because I wouldn't throw in the snow, lol.

[@TanaseAlexandru15]

The problem to you on the first and the second day was that you were to close to the target. You didn't had enough time to react (to trough the knife) in the tird day you were a few steps back and that helped a lot, anyway that was a nice shot congrat. I like to watch your videos 😆

[@Xolette]

Thanks! I couldn't stand farther back because of the short rope and I had to be that close to generate power with a rope dart throw. I was more comfortable with my normal throwing knives and able to stand farther back. The distance does help with reaction time!

[@Tenright77]

The Crowd goes Wild...

[@Xolette]

:D

[@MrJohnpaulkelly]

I am not an expert but a bottle full of water would fly at constant speed and direction because the water wouldn't slosh around. Might make it easier to hit.

[@Xolette]

I don't think so... I found that a 1/4 full was perfect. I tried 1/2 full and I couldn't get it to flip over, easily, so I assume that a full bottle would be even more difficult.

[@Allblackaura]

Haha amazing

[@Xolette]

:D

[@saber904playsmc4]

Awsome. Haha I wish I Could do that, Or even just no spin a Knife how you do lol. But I Don't Think I Really Have time to practice for like 5 years :/

[@Xolette]

5 years! Whoa! Just takes practice. :)

[@saber904playsmc4]

Well I mean you've had like 5 years of throwing, but I checked and its actually 7 years. Haha

[@jaydendelile1908]

yes she did it

[@Xolette]

Yes, I did it! :)

[@jaydendelile1908]

Xolette omg you replied to me most youtubers don't reply

[@Its2loudyer2oldmotovlogs]

Woohoo! hehe

[@Xolette]

:D

[@candymagishere9233]

[@kippnguyen6322]

Omg ninja!!

[@Xolette]

:)

[@Bugdoll]

Awesome challenge. Looks like you had fun with your toys lol. 🔪

[@Xolette]

Heck yeah! : )

[@ongjunwei603]

Now it's 2017, now using a throwing stick,hit a fidget spinner Or a 1000 degree throw knife

[@Xolette]

Check out Adam Celadin's Channel. He came up with his challenge and since then has done knife throwing videos with a fidget spinner and a 1000 degree throwing knife.

[@suicidaldoomer8403]

marry me xiolette 😀😘 great work. happy new year

[@Xolette]

Thanks! And I'm taken. :D Happy New Year to you too!

[@Loup_Solitaire007]

I get the thrill you feel from doing it for the first time, but unless you can repeat the exploit at will, this was just dumb luck.

[@Xolette]

I disagree. Yes, you need to have a few things line up-- a perfect bottle throw in which the bottle flips and lands at the target at target at the right time, good aim, and good timing. Each of those things take skill and over the course of those few days, I became better at each of those skill--I started having better bottle throws and became better with my timing. I began to realize I had to throw not at what I saw, but where I'd think the bottle would land... so I'd have to watch at where the bottle was in the air and make a decision in a split second as to wear to throw the knife. Many times I didn't throw the knife because I already knew the bottle throw was crap. So I disagree with it being dumb luck as this would be easier to replicate over and over if one decided to practice those skills all the time.

[@EDK105]

The real question here is: Can you stick the knife with the water bottle?

[@hasanyucel485]

I wish i would be your neigborhood
