How To Progress Your Fingerboarding Skills Faster

Why do I feel like Mike cooking eggs and helping me fingerboard would be life changing he seems so chill

I feel like this is few times I've ever heard him talk its good you should make more like this

this is perfect for a returning fingerboader

Love this! The "always following through" point is something I've always done, and it helped me realize all the possible tricks that I stumbled upon on accident. For me I thought of the following: consistency - practice often, resiliency - don't give up when something is difficult, intentionality - practice with intent and focus, and lastly eggality - eat lots of eggs.

Mike dropping the ancient knowledge, I’m trying to get my flips this consistent

You should make a fingerboard collection vid talking about the story behind the setup and overall just going deep into your collection. Thanks for the video, the first part made me learn kickflip back tail

Yes!!! if you're practicing a trick or trick to grind and get close/sketchy just adjust your fingers and complete it to get used to the feeling of truly doing it

1:09 what Mike said from here can be applicable in life too you know

One thing I do, in fingerboarding, skating and most things really, is since I have OCD pretty badly I try to use it to my advantage and make things into little games. For example, ill have to land 6 kickflips in a row, if I miss any I start over, when I do them all i move on to the next set of tricks. It can be in any fashion, kf/fakie kf/nollie flip/switch flip all in a row. It can get intense and even frustrating at times but the key is repetition and getting the muscle memory. Learn the basics til you can do them in your sleep, they open the door to everything else. Lastly, don't always look at things as a whole at first, even if it seems obvious sometimes breaking things down can unlock things. You can bs 180? You can kickflip? Well when you pop that bs 180, flip your kf. Keep making small adjustments in foo positioning, weight and balance until it works. Now you can Bs flip. Practice, PATIENCE and A LOT of repitition is the key to learning literally anything. Everything he said is spot on as well! Good stuff!

MAN, not tryna make you feel old but i was watching your vids when i was like.. 13 and im about to be 23. Its kinda cool to see you still post and do what you love! :)

I'm returning to fingerboarding after 10 years, and these tips are so good. Not only am I slowly remembering how to do some stuff, landing tricks I've not even landed before 10 years ago. The tip for learning how to do tricks from different hand positions makes a world of difference especially when doing tricks on obstacles. Thank you Mike!

I'm returning to fingerboarding after 4 years, I'm getting my first pro board in 2 days and this should help a lot. Thanks :D

I LOVE that this isnt just an ad for a program or product. Some of this advise is actually counter to selling a product but its actually good advise. You the man Mike.

woww, i actually practice fingerboard tricks like these unconsiously

I will definitely use your advice ive been having motivation problems lately and I just recently hit my first total year fingerboarding and I think im gonna give it another go thank you for everything you do for this community Mike you're the best

Hey Mike! I've always love to see this kind of video which you talk about your opinions on fingerboarding stuff, and i would love to see more of this kind of videos!

Oh damn, I used to watch your videos when you were a kid I want to say around 2007-2009! So dope you're still fingerboarding. I'll mess around here and there still

It’s always a treat when you post videos like this. Thanks Mike

Hey Mike! The "Committing to your tricks" or "following through with them" advice is very very helpful! I would always just "give up" after I felt that the trick didn't feel right, but now I do my best to get my fingers into position for landing said trick, and it's helped a ton! An example: I'm learning flips into grinds and working on my accuracy. I'm trying to land into 50-50, but whenever I didn't land perfectly, I would give up. Now taking your advice into account, I've gotten the feeling of landing into many different grinds, just on "accident". Just landed a kickflip-feeble, front shuv out. (Pretty simple, but I'm a beginner, cut me some slack 😂)

Thanks Mike you helped me a lot in my fingerboarding !
