That was so freakin incredible! I can't believe how quick you were able to learn it and with so much confidence!! From two Canadians (Julie and Sam) we are sincerely proud of you!
Cardninja 27 yeah same I have been rollerblading since I was five and I went ice skating for the first time when I was eight. Now next year I will be starting hockey.
Hey Alec! You should try doing something like this for one of your projects th-cam.com/video/xWoucDGQehw/w-d-xo.html Also, it would be awesome if you could make something out of Mokume Gane
Excellent! You picked up on it pretty quick. As a hockey player, I’d say it’s important to learn to stop on both sides. This really applies to anything related to skating. Once you get one side down make a point to practice the other side before moving on to anything
Well I have this problem. I have learned the stop turning to the left, but I can't do it while turning to the right. But I also started to learn that thing when I place my skates in front of one another while turning, which I also only learnt to turn left. In fact simply turning to the right is also a bit of a problem for me. Can you suggest anything? Will this be a problem that I learnt something new while I couldn't do the hockey stop to the other side? Btw I don't want ot be a professional skater I just want to learn these skills so that I could do them anytime, but that I can only do these to one side bothers me a bit.
After that: learn to write with both hands at the same time. It’s actually pretty fun to do, but it’s close to impossible for me to write two different thing >~
I love how efficient you are at learning. You don’t just do useless practice over and over, you analyse where you go wrong and then practise parts over and over again. That seems to be the key.
I think people neglect that he's forced to film himself (for TH-cam). Most people learning won't film themselves, so they won't have the luxury of reliving their mistakes. He learns faster partly *because* he films it. Of course, there are other reasons he's efficient. TL;DR = film yourself learning, even if you won't share it with others
bro, quick tip, start turning with the interior foot going first anf the exterior behind (not in a line, with separation) and then sharpen that turn till you notice you slide, just keep doing it, each time a bit faster and a bit sharper, some day you will just do it for normal stops as if you did it all life
It's all a matter of confidence the basics are easy it's just getting over that first hurdle of knowing that u will fall but u just deal with it and get back up
That reminds me of the videos of my first year in hockey. I was 4, and could not skate, so I would keep trying to get up, but kept falling down, and my parents keep reminding me of it.
Here's some ideas for future videos :) -Handstand walk -Juggling clubs or 4 balls -Spinning pizza dough -Continue the back flip or other gymnastics -Pen spins -Card stacking -Jump rope tricks -Roll a coin across your fingers -Pop an apple off your arm -Yoyo tricks
Gotta give this guy a TON of credit. It isn't easy to try something new, especially with people watching... and he's built an entire channel just trying new things with no concern of being embarrassed. I gotta say it's pretty inspiring.
I’m not having it, he progressed really quickly when he brought the penguin out, some crafty editing there, I’m skating at least 2-3 times a week and in hockey gear
As a hockey player this is incredibly impressive, it took me a few months of working with a beginners program to stop consistently. Obviously years later this stuffs natural now, but the speed you got this down is really impressive
one tip for your future skating career, try to bend your knees a bit so you keep your center of gravity low for added stability and spread your feet apart a bit more when you stop because they are a little too close and that makes it easier for you too fall or catch an edge.
Yeah, I'm still perfecting my stop. Anyone who wants to skate a little faster, you can get your skates sharpened a little bit on the front. That's what we've been doing for years. I hope I helped a bit.
Most people who try hockey stopping for the first time don’t shift their weight into their skates when they stop, so they just go flying when they stop because they’re standing straight. When they don’t get hurt it’s hilarious 😂
@@shoutingraven9571 it doesn't take much to get injured, there's someone at an arena I was skating at who just slipped and wasn't wearing a helmet, and they ended up cracking their skull, ambulance had to come by.
@@massir7769 Yes, because they weren't wearing a helmet. Also it does take quite a bit for an injury like that, you have to hit your head hard enough, it's more likely on skates but then again, if they were wearing a helmet, they wouldn't of injured themeselves at all or maybe just a bit but nothing severe.
Kids are stupid, ignore the comments here. Learning something new as an adult can seem to take a lot of guts. Most people are laughing with you and not at you, You aren't learning anything if you aren't failing. MOST adults that see another person starting out remember what it was like and sympathize.
there are different sessions - if you go on a weekend it will always be busy, but try an off-peak session during the week and you should find much more space on the ice, and probably most of the people there will be really into it rather than the casual weekenders and will be happy to give you some tips to help.
a couple things i can see your doing wrong that I've done but have gotten better on 1) your skate laces are way to lose, i can see your ankles folding in and that how you ruin your skates 2) your concentrating on the stop too much so you back foot is right on your front foot, you need about 10-13 inches of space between your skates 3) your leaning to much forward so try to work on leaning back abit other then that your pretty good at them, keep up the great work
Actually it’s best to stop with feet hip with so you can transition immediately into a crossover start. They teach that in advanced power skating stuff most people don’t know it but it’s good technique
Try not To laugh 101 no just no. They should be as tight as possible, turning comes from the hips and knees rather than the ankles. At the speed I turn in hockey my ankles would give out if the were the thing supporting my whole weight in the turn
No no no.... the real challenge is stopping the other way you just learned. You only stopped on your left side. The right side will be a lot harder and takes getting used to! Should have done both ways D:
This happens because the ice is so dry and the blade is also dry and the neurons get charged up and they scater creating what we know as electricity but it is so week you cand do anthing with it. A cool thing is you cand get life savers and a budy and you can bolth go out at night and try and dry out your moulths and bite doun on the life saver and this cool electricity will come out of you mouth.
As a Canadian I never realized how something as simple as skating could be difficult for others it's really interesting watching your process of learning

Finally something that I could do already and thus look condescendingly at Mike's attempts thinking "THAT'S easy!". lol Good job seeing as you basically had to learn to skate before being able to learn how to stop :)
Having JUST taken it up two weeks ago, you'd be surprised how well your body adjusts and just sort of... Does the thing you want it to do. The biggest thing that I learned which made me go from falling-every-few-meters to being able to do a few laps in a row was simply forcing myself to stop looking at my feet and looking where I want to go instead
@@eragonawesome and then there is people like me who just has been doing it for soo long that can just go around the streets as if i was riding a bike, the only problem are the wheels getting stuck betwen the lines of the pavement
I’ve been skiing for 4 years and can slash/spray snow / hockey stop on skis but never learned how to ice skate or roller blade and this is making me want to learn
I’am a roller skater/roller hockey person. So I learned how to do this but on roller blades. The first time I was on ice skates it was super easy I could skate backwards I could do the hockey stop and it seeked pretty easy.
Hey Mike, because you have brand new skates, it would be a shame to not use them ! What about learning to hockey stop with your feet "spread" more ? And learn crossover turns and Mohawk turns ? :) Then you can learn to slapshot with a hockey stick (and/or wrist or snap shot). Cheers from France !
Just so you know join hockey at a late age is very hard and you will get made fun of because people dedicate their life’s to the sport so they go d1 and you would have to drop a lot of money to be decent regular season summer training summer teams summer camps equipment (skates are expensive) and you have to be conditioned and mentally stable
Ava Boxwell I wouldn’t say they get made fun of, but younger kid skaters learning will see adults falling and getting back up which inspires them to not be afraid to fall. They’ll laugh for sure, but they remember when they were learning too. I’ve had nothing but support from people at the arena when I fell down, someone always came to check on me. I’m 31 now, many people including myself, grew up in a household that could not afford hockey equipment to participate in the sport. So we get into it at a later age when we have our own jobs and income to support that hobby.
As someone re-learning to skate after a decade and surgery... The fact that he was able to be on the skates for so long at all is impressive. As I'm rebuilding the muscles I'm shocked how painful the process is! Oi! But looking forward to getting to this point too soon. 🇨🇦
Thanks for the video. I have a big ski trip this winter. I was told to learn how to do this asap. Your video gave me a good sense of what it will take if you do start from scratch. It is helpful that you showed the entire process. Putting one foot forward at an angle will be my starting point.
I've skated all my life and played hockey on both ice and roller, ice hockey stopping is with skates close, roller hockey stopping is when your skates are further apart.
Trying to learn this myself, I'm 'OK' at skating forwards and have been a few times now after taking the kids to hockey lessons. I decided to try to teach myself to stop like the kids, I was getting there, then had a nasty tumble and nearly knocked myself out on the ice after landing flat on my back. Next week we go back and we get better...... In my defence I am the wrong side of 50 and not skated since I was in my teens.
One of the problems people have while stopping is that their feet are to close together which causes one blade to basically kick out the other! good job!
as someone who's played hockey since I was 3 years old, and having the majority of my friends ask me to help them learn to skate, seeing how relatively quickly he picked up skating was pretty cool. You can really tell he had zero clue how to skate at first seeing as he tried to take footsteps instead of strides at first, and by the end he looked a lot more comfortable using his edges, good on ya man!
@@chrisj403 not neccesarily its a training aid its meant to take away variables to allow you to work on each part before you bring them all together just look at swimming you start by holding onto the side and practicing kicking and keeping yourself up then you get that foam board thing and practice moving around the pool with just kicking then comes the floatie belt and you work on your arm and leg movements getting them right then the belt goes away and you try to do everything together and stay afloat as long as your not being allowed to use it constantly and never being pushed to try a little harder its fine people learn things all the time with the help of training aids if what you said was true most kids and adults would still have stabilizers on there bikes
@@Sarge92 That's a fair point, but it's different for skating. To go fast, to turn, to stop, you need to shift your centre of mass. It's all about balance, and practice. But using a stability doesn't get you any practice with the core of skating. But it's fair to say that they can just use it until they're used to the basics.
I think your right, I live right next to a pond and I didn’t use a penguin but I used stacked milk crates (like an table almost) and I started with that when I was like 3 but I always depended on it and didn’t actually learn how to skate till I was like 6 or 7
Serious props for learning how to stop with your inside skate in 7 days!! That's the hardest part imo, using both feet to stop, and that inside foot can cause some painful falls. Well done
My advice on how to ice skate. The problem for begginers is that your scared of falling, but if you learn how to fall without hurting yourself and how to get up you have no problem, also everyone falls its no big deal. Next, a lot of people walk on the ice or take steps, now your probably going to fall since the front of many iceskates has a jagged stop, you want to glide on the ice as if your sliding. Lastly, dont ever be to full of yourself and always hold your arms out. Bonus; when you fall dont hold your hand out with your flat palm on the floor someone might run your hand over, put your in a fist position. Have a good day!!
As a hockey player this is amazing. Also I haven’t looked at any comments yet but I have a feeling it’s all the hockey players riding from their slumber
Dude learning how to correctly move in 31 minutes. I've been on the ice twice and I'm such a scaredy cat that I still can't do it without being on the side and always having one hand hovering above the side to grab a hold if I feel I'm going to fail xd
As a hockey player, this is hilarious. I’ve been playing for 11 years now and have played nationals and world wide :p hockey is truly an amazing sport when you are good at it but also very fun for beginners
That was so freakin incredible! I can't believe how quick you were able to learn it and with so much confidence!! From two Canadians (Julie and Sam) we are sincerely proud of you!

It took me 3 days
Oh Canadians, too bad, you can’t win a cup
I learned to skate almost perfectly the first time I got on the ice because I knew how to rollerblade
It took me 47 years to learn to rollerblade

How old are you Jesus
Cardninja 27 yeah same I have been rollerblading since I was five and I went ice skating for the first time when I was eight. Now next year I will be starting hockey.

Eric Gagnon québécois spotted😂
How fast he learned to skate is impressive
Eyeball Paul i know someone who learned it in 15 min and could already go pretty fast
Pepega fast skating is not as impressive as a hockey stop, but 15 minutes vs 6 hours can be debatable.
I had never touched skates in my lofe, learned in about 20 min. (I have a lot of experience with skiing though)
I mean he’s Scottish, so he’s automatically built different
It's all a matter of confidence the basics are easy it's just getting over that first hurdle of knowing that u will fall but u just deal with it and get back up

Gotta give this guy a TON of credit. It isn't easy to try something new, especially with people watching... and he's built an entire channel just trying new things with no concern of being embarrassed. I gotta say it's pretty inspiring.
Nobody’s talking about how good he became at skating in just 7 days?
Yeah, I’m thinking that I could do that much after watching him pick up not just skating but locking in that stop.
I’m not having it, he progressed really quickly when he brought the penguin out, some crafty editing there, I’m skating at least 2-3 times a week and in hockey gear
As a hockey player this is incredibly impressive, it took me a few months of working with a beginners program to stop consistently. Obviously years later this stuffs natural now, but the speed you got this down is really impressive

Where’s his grapevine, penguin stop and spread eagle at tho 👀

Did you know how to ice skate before you attempted this? Or did you learn that in that first half hour of learning?
Cheers.
a couple things i can see your doing wrong that I've done but have gotten better on
1) your skate laces are way to lose, i can see your ankles folding in and that how you ruin your skates
2) your concentrating on the stop too much so you back foot is right on your front foot, you need about 10-13 inches of space between your skates
3) your leaning to much forward so try to work on leaning back abit
other then that your pretty good at them, keep up the great work
RixBros 12 YESS FINALLY A PERSON THATS CORRECT

Actually it’s best to stop with feet hip with so you can transition immediately into a crossover start. They teach that in advanced power skating stuff most people don’t know it but it’s good technique
RixBros 12 bro when you play hockey you want loose skates so you have more ankle mobility and be able to turn sharper ect

Hey Mike, because you have brand new skates, it would be a shame to not use them ! What about learning to hockey stop with your feet "spread" more ? And learn crossover turns and Mohawk turns ? :) Then you can learn to slapshot with a hockey stick (and/or wrist or snap shot). Cheers from France !
ecath backwards cross overs
Yeah, his feet are waaaaaaayy too close together. It's really uncomfortable to do it like that imo.
Lol Mohawk turns might be a little advanced for him he can’t even skate backwards. Doing a Mohawk at game speed was a hard thing to learn for me
Me: has been trying to hockey stop for 6 years.
Mike: does it in 1week.
Me: °_°

“It really feels like I’m making strides here”
**cuts to him falling down**
I taught myself how to skate and will be joining a hockey team within the next year I am proud of you
Get ready for a lot of stop and go movement
Just so you know join hockey at a late age is very hard and you will get made fun of because people dedicate their life’s to the sport so they go d1 and you would have to drop a lot of money to be decent regular season summer training summer teams summer camps equipment (skates are expensive) and you have to be conditioned and mentally stable
I’m currently on week 3 of learning to skate. I’m expecting I’ll be on the ice in a game in a year or so.
Ava Boxwell I wouldn’t say they get made fun of, but younger kid skaters learning will see adults falling and getting back up which inspires them to not be afraid to fall. They’ll laugh for sure, but they remember when they were learning too. I’ve had nothing but support from people at the arena when I fell down, someone always came to check on me. I’m 31 now, many people including myself, grew up in a household that could not afford hockey equipment to participate in the sport. So we get into it at a later age when we have our own jobs and income to support that hobby.
Did u join?
As someone re-learning to skate after a decade and surgery... The fact that he was able to be on the skates for so long at all is impressive. As I'm rebuilding the muscles I'm shocked how painful the process is! Oi! But looking forward to getting to this point too soon. 🇨🇦
Totally feel you on this but the pain is so worth it
Thanks for the video. I have a big ski trip this winter. I was told to learn how to do this asap. Your video gave me a good sense of what it will take if you do start from scratch. It is helpful that you showed the entire process. Putting one foot forward at an angle will be my starting point.
I'm not a bad person, but I really wanted to see him fall
He feel once
4:20
He fell multiple times?

Dude you have more skills after one hour than I learned in one whole day on a school sports day 😂🔥
As a hockey player I loved this but I didn’t like how close his feet were when stoping
Makes more snow 😉
Imma hockey playa two his feet were way too close
I've skated all my life and played hockey on both ice and roller, ice hockey stopping is with skates close, roller hockey stopping is when your skates are further apart.
2:50 thats exactly how i learned how to do it and now my stops are 👍
You should next do a learning to balisong!!
ikr
live blade, no pussy shit!
big boi absolutely!!
Noticed that Alec Steele hoodie! What a great collab that was! 🔨 🔥
I remember when I learned I split my chin.
Fun times man.
Trying to learn this myself, I'm 'OK' at skating forwards and have been a few times now after taking the kids to hockey lessons. I decided to try to teach myself to stop like the kids, I was getting there, then had a nasty tumble and nearly knocked myself out on the ice after landing flat on my back. Next week we go back and we get better...... In my defence I am the wrong side of 50 and not skated since I was in my teens.
this guy can learn anything.. Just conquer your fear .. You're my inspiration dude.. Cheers from Indonesia!
Nothing like Mike Boyd to get you through GCSE's.
Henry Guest same
everyone doing their own learn quick with physics rn
Ikr
Thicc Bastion yeah im fucked for it hahahahah
Ryan Stokes - Learn Quick: the whole gcse physics specification
One of the problems people have while stopping is that their feet are to close together which causes one blade to basically kick out the other! good job!
2:57 u can just hear mike’s wife say yesss quietly as he falls over 😂😂😂
2:58 is how you lose your fingers... when you fall on ice always fall on clenched fists
Me with my 300 dollar skates hearing him say “proper skates” made me laugh
Same here bud
weird flex but ok
Mine r 400
But same
Got the As3 Pro skates and laughed even louder
I love Feeling Peckish
The Vegetarian Baker I'm the first commenter on your comment love your videos
as someone who's played hockey since I was 3 years old, and having the majority of my friends ask me to help them learn to skate, seeing how relatively quickly he picked up skating was pretty cool. You can really tell he had zero clue how to skate at first seeing as he tried to take footsteps instead of strides at first, and by the end he looked a lot more comfortable using his edges, good on ya man!
For real, the pace at which he learned was incredible.
5:52 gave me the chills
I suggest that you continue to do the backflip
For me as a hockey player, this was entertaining af
Great work!
Also, seeing Julie was a trip!
This is pretty fun to watch as a Dutchie.
Zeg wat je wil, maar ik woon in zuid Holland en de laatste keer dat ik natuurijs ziag was toen ik 8 was. Dus ik weet niet waar jij woont....
Joëlle Brouwer Ik heb een jaar geleden nog geschaatst op natuur ijs. En in december staat in ons dorp altijd een ijsbaan dusja.
Re-visit the back flip! You Can DO It!
the snowman is the worst way to learn to skate or the penguin
It's only a bad way to learn for kids, they become dependent on it and can't do without it.
@@chrisj403 not neccesarily its a training aid its meant to take away variables to allow you to work on each part before you bring them all together just look at swimming
you start by holding onto the side and practicing kicking and keeping yourself up
then you get that foam board thing and practice moving around the pool with just kicking
then comes the floatie belt and you work on your arm and leg movements getting them right
then the belt goes away and you try to do everything together and stay afloat
as long as your not being allowed to use it constantly and never being pushed to try a little harder its fine people learn things all the time with the help of training aids if what you said was true most kids and adults would still have stabilizers on there bikes
@@Sarge92
That's a fair point, but it's different for skating. To go fast, to turn, to stop, you need to shift your centre of mass. It's all about balance, and practice. But using a stability doesn't get you any practice with the core of skating. But it's fair to say that they can just use it until they're used to the basics.
I agree, the polar bear is the best one.
I think your right, I live right next to a pond and I didn’t use a penguin but I used stacked milk crates (like an table almost) and I started with that when I was like 3 but I always depended on it and didn’t actually learn how to skate till I was like 6 or 7
Serious props for learning how to stop with your inside skate in 7 days!! That's the hardest part imo, using both feet to stop, and that inside foot can cause some painful falls. Well done
My advice on how to ice skate.
The problem for begginers is that your scared of falling, but if you learn how to fall without hurting yourself and how to get up you have no problem, also everyone falls its no big deal.
Next, a lot of people walk on the ice or take steps, now your probably going to fall since the front of many iceskates has a jagged stop, you want to glide on the ice as if your sliding.
Lastly, dont ever be to full of yourself and always hold your arms out.
Bonus; when you fall dont hold your hand out with your flat palm on the floor someone might run your hand over, put your in a fist position.
Have a good day!!
You forgot wear safety gear.
@@angussiegloff5238 Some people can't afford good gear, i personally think you only need it when learning jumps or playing hockey.
At 3:00 when he fell his ice skates started going towards his fingers and I was hella spooped
Do swallowig a bottle of water in 1 sec

As a hockey player, this is hilarious. I’ve been playing for 11 years now and have played nationals and world wide :p hockey is truly an amazing sport when you are good at it but also very fun for beginners
