Job interviewer: So, what special talents do you have? Mike: *Well...*

I just noticed this guy speed runs life’s side missions.

me : watches video also me: looks at my beat up shit bike my bike: No

So the technique is: - Lower gear - Less stiff suspension - Lean more towards the centre than forwards - 20 minutes or so of practice - And a cup of English Breakfast tea?

Plot twist : he was riding down the stairs, backwards

Imagine his friends ridding with him now and they all stop for stairs and mike is like what are you doing there lad

mike in 2050: This week I learned to cycle up buildings.

I can’t help but notice the little dirt trails beside each set of stairs

Legs: slips Balls 1: we have suffered major damage Balls 2: no response

This guy is literally like the uncle that knows everything

"One cup of English tea later" Me: yep, he's nailed it now

I wonder how different it is for stairs that aren't so long. The incline of those steps is pretty minimal compared to the average set of stairs. Still impressive....

"Nobody ever requested that" I got sad, i actually requested that like a few months ago.

Here’s a challenge Mike, learn to dunk. If there’s someone who can do it in under a year, it’s you.

Since nobody has commented on the nut buster, i can only assume that people don't watch videos until the end. 8:25 Nut booster.

Awesome job. As a cyclist, I can really appreciate the legs needed to accomplish this. Technique is important, but it's having the fitness to do it that's most important. Chapeau!

"1 cup of English Breakfast tea later.." lol the British way to say "the next day.."

Moral of the video: All you need is a cup of British breakfast tea and you can do anything

I love how he claims he is learning this so he doesn’t have to keep stopping, but just looking at him after that I think he’ll need to stop for longer than he would have by just getting off and pushing it up

I like the fact that he ignores the smooth dirt trail next to the stairs

Just try to imagine the look on Mike's face when you tell him that he can't do something

“When in doubt, flat out” only a true Scotsman will quote Colin McRae in times of need

Phenomenal! I'm 60 and used to ride a lot of MTB but always wondered if you could bike up stairs but never really tried more than 3 or 4. This blew my mind. Great work!

Really good point about the weight. I think leaning forward is a natural thing to do, but that totally makes sense about the back tire. Way to go!

Mike in 5 years: learning to fly (first human to do it)

Mike Boyd in 2050: learning how to create an Boeing 747 by hand

Seeing this guy on a low gear and going up the stairs make my anxiety go expenentialy high

This was absolutely brilliant, especially since you showed the progress and the failed attempts. That showed what works and what doesn't work. Very educational!

Mike will learn how to rule the world at some point. Oh that's a lot of likes 😂

Why has the internet got me rooting for a Scottish man to cycle up some stairs.

Your girls a trooper for doing all those stairs with you.

I love your determination. Respect!

The Backflip still remains unfinished. I know you’re afraid Mike, but you can do this.

Next: how to ride a bike up ladder

The neural plasticity of this guy is amazing! So inspiring

This is incredible. Thanks for sharing

How to climb anything on a mtb bike without losing traction: Step 1: put your taint on the tip of the saddle to have the most forward position and the maintain traction on the rear tire. Step 2: get into a really low gear. Step 3: DO NOT STAND UP. This is how your tire will just loose traction in the middle of the stairs set. Step 4: pedal consistently and in a higher cadence because if one pedal stroke too hard, you will spin out and loose grip. Step 5: do not stop pedaling. Follow these steps and you can climb anything on a mtb bike

Coming Next: I learnt how to backflip while stacking dice while back hopping on the bicycle while cycling up stairs while throwing cards WHILEEE shouting till a glass breaks.

I love seeing his progress on these stair sets!

I got inspired to ride my bike down the stairs and underestimated how weak my seat was. Next time I'll upgrade the seat before I accidentally bend my seatpost in half.

His legs are gonna be the size of planes by the end of the year One hell of an exercise

The camera person running up the stairs behind him is the real MVP.

Such a smart guy! Great channel!

low gear, low speed, weight back, slight bunny hops. was doing this before bikes had suspension.

Coming up next: "how to juggle babies over a pit of fire." (edit) if anyone can I would love if you could subscribe to my channel, I have some video ideas that I'd like to make when my package arrives.

Flipping heck. Good effort mate. 👍🏻

I love watching the people in the background of these videos. They always have great reactions

"Most requested" People suggesting him to learn to write with his non dominant hand: *am i a joke to you*

Mike, i know this probaly is a lot to ask for. But i’d hope you’d try and learn to ride fakie. (Backwards)

Seeing this guy so motivated makes me motivated. Im now learning to manual a bike and everyone makes fun of me or laughs at me bc im fairly bad at it, guarantee i would give up bc of them if not for watching you mike , thanks man

Mike big respect for you man❤❤❤!!!

Next: How to convert to tubeless so you don't get a puncture on the stairs

The fact that he teaches himself how to do these things is amazing

Holy smokes! That was absolutely awesome! Mind officially blown!

breathe in thru your nose and out thru your mouth when you are doing what you're doing at 6:55. getting into a meditative trance when u ascend can be very helpful and will increase your perseverance. i love your videos! you can do anything. much love and respect from western canada!

I wanted to learn this but then I realized that I live in the Netherlands where anything higher than 2 sets of stairs is considered a mountain. Don't think this skill is going to be that usefull in our flatass country.

I never thought this could be so hard. Great job!

My guy I remember u came into my school like 6 years ago and u had like 1000 and I just found u. My god you've grown

Man, that looks like a major workout. Great job!

Hill: hey! There's a trail next to the stair sets. Mike: *riding upstairs*

Challenge: learn to wall run This took me about 3 weeks to master i do parkour everyday and i would be very impressed if i saw someone that never tried parkour could master it.

5:42 "Kid, get out of the way! This is my last set of stairs."

well done Mike!

Imagine he got up to 8 stairs and then a security guard comes out and says: “your not allowed to ride up stairs at the moment please ride somewhere else”

nice job bro but how about the back flip?

Preciate the warning at the end

Nice work !! Mate !

Plot twist: He already knows all these things, he’s just pretending that it’s hard

"The answer is Speed" Jeremy Clarkson has joined the chat

awesome work!

Oh God. I used to do sprints up those stairs every week I was at Uni. That last set of stairs always caught me out because of the extra steps! ...Cant imagine what it would have felt like doing it on a bike.

Next challenge: How to fix dents from wheel rim

Imagine mike being your friend and u have just learnt a new skill that your really proud of and u show it to him and he just repeats it right away

This looks super useful. Learning how to do thus.

Got recommend this, and immediately recognised that staircase and that accent. Studied in Dundee a few years ago.

Next: Jumping down stairs (Not actually hitting the stairs)

Interviewer: what are you special talents? Michael: YES

Love the video, I love seeing bikers realizing they can't out pedal a hill or in this case stairs. Every buddy of mine that starts biking always think they can out pedal hills, it is hysterical !

Worth waiting for that last two seconds!

Professor oak: hey don’t ride your bike in- •0•

6:17 Finally we have seen the power of yorkshire tea, ourside of SpiffingBrit's channel

Very good skill 💪💪💪 I might try it in my next video ! Cheers from Morocco 🇲🇦

lol. I was cheering for you! I was very impressed.

imagine just going on a walk and seeing a guy ride his bike up the stairs lol

Mike should learn to draw a perfect circle on a chalkboard

This is awesome. I just spent 10 minutes trying to ride up some stairs and I’m going to go try again 😆

i was taught to set my saddle just every so slightly lower , and stay seated or hover over the saddle to climb, worked well for me

This guy will use a Bicycle during a Zombie Apocalypse.

this week i learned to fall up the stairs

Really impressive I would want to learn this one day

bro i was searching your channel for ages and now i finally got it

I can’t imagine him telling stories to her kids, once I learned to fly

Nobody: Literally Nobody: Mike: *Literally just speed runs biking up stairs*

Nicely done

Cracking lad. Bonnie Dundee looking bonnie as always.

2:19 almost had a heart attack when his seat went up by itself

So many times I've asked myself "is it running stairs or cycling for my workout today?" and it turns out the answer was right in front of me all along.

Well done, Mike. It will depend on the size of the stair treads and rises too.

id just like to say. i watched this video when it first came out. Im originally from the furthest east point of England's mainland... i just moved into uni up here in Scotland and on the first as i walked from my halls to the local tescos... i found i was walking down a set of stairs i recognised. i just came back to this to check if i was right and yes. i live about 20 seconds away from where he filmed this.... took me by surprise aha. Wonder if ill see Mike around anywhere if he hasn't moved.
