Please do whatever you can to continue doing these with her! As a non-skater, this stream and that followup one, were unbelievably fun to watch... You two just have awesome energy, it was infectious. I hope that maybe you'll get to bring Janise out to Alveus, once the wolves are in and situated. 😊 Thank you for reaching out to Maya, and giving us such inspiring and wholesome entertainment! 🤘♥️

​​@@sockdonutskinda yeah. If you actually commit and learn how to skate it will build your confidence alot. Sports that any second you can easily snap your ankles or arms just by trying the easiest tricks is terrifying to learn. I've broken my rist over 6 times I've broken my ankles and gotten like 50 springed ankles also broke my ribs skating rails. It might sound funny but you learn how to fall so you don't get hurt it will just take time and everyone learns at a different speed. The younger you learn the better. Kids don't break as easily cause they're already pretty close to the ground before they fall.

This series made me go out and get a skateboard. I’m disabled and haven’t tried skateboarding since I was a kid. But for now I have pretty decent mobility so I decided to just get a cheap one to skate around a bit. Even if I won’t be able to do many tricks or even do it for long I’m having a lot of fun while I can! Thanks for getting me to try it!

I love it! Learning to fall is THE most important thing to learn in skateboarding. That may sound weird, but It's true. It develops a presence of mind to understand exactly what's going to happen and how to escape it with minimal to no harm to yourself. It happens subconsciously, notice how Ricky reacts to catching Maya's board as it's happening. She's also going through "beginner falls" which are the scariest. HUGE respect for anyone fighting through them! You got this!

I started playing 3 years ago, and now whenever I meet someone who casually mentions it, or seems interested, I right away jump at the chance to invite them to a game, and help them out. I don't like running games, but I've done it now multiple times for friends who are just starting out, cause I want to make sure the experience is comfortable and fun. And if there are players out there who don't like playing with newbies, then they are toxic.

I love this series. Skateboarding is hard af, people don't appreciate the time (and pain) that people put into it. You'll get there Maya, just have to keep trying.

I love just how supportive he is.

These videos are fun for watching Maya struggle, but the sheer number of attempts she puts is honestly pretty inspiring. Patience & perseverance!

I've been skating for more than half my life and have only been able to kickflip like 3-4 times in that whole time, so no rush!!!! You can do it.

This is why KZread is the best. In my day...lol...they'd show the final win and not all the fails along the way. Love seeing how difficult these things are and how these folks are masters of their craft. Maya you crazy girl lol

I haven't watched the video through yet, idk if you do a kickflip. But I wanted to say I'm glad you gave it another go- It's super inspiring and despite the pain you went through(especially the first time) you still had fun!! Maya you're genuinely super rad

The fact that he is so good he can mess up in the exact way to show her what she is doing wrong is insane

Ricky is so nice + he is a badass skater

Maya has been putting out amazing content lately. Give her a follow on Twitch and watch live. Didn’t get the idea of watching live before but it’s been fun

Maya, i adore this series! Ricky knowing how to make skateboarding content benefitted this episode so much

Okay this is really cool. Haven't really watched your content before but I saw the title. I just love seeing random fits of determination, on something that someone may not have ever had the urge to do before, but keeps at it and gain some respect for the craft. Well done and props to you

This is a crossover I never expected! Ricky is awesome

this was both so fun and inspiring! wants me to get back into skating. more videos with Ricky and skating please.

He is a really cool guy and such a great teacher and patient! He made this look fun!

LETS GO MAYA!!! Couldn't believe it when I read the title. I'm so happy to see you're getting into skateboarding, I got my first board in preschool and now I'm going on 27 and never looked back. I'm on the sidelines recovering from my first surgery, so thanks for the extra hype to get back on it!! I'll never forget how good the first kickflip felt, I ended up learning heelflips first for some reason though. Keep at it

this is 1000/10 content. I dont even skate, I did a little when younger and was big into skate culture stuff with my friend in middle school. so it's cool to see someone just stream them learning for hours a day.

managed to catch part of this stream. great skate support session

I've been watching Ricky since he moved to America to skate for Braille. Such an awesome dude and skateboarder.

I really like how you have chaged, You seem so confident and it looks like you are enjoying life more! Happy for you :D

was not expecting this mashup but it was lovely. been following ricky for a long time so i was genuinely surprised

thumbnail goes hard, good job mayo

14:39: Best trick of the entire video

keep going, skateboarding is fun as hell once you get the feeling. Learning a kickflip though takes some time. 20 minute adventure in and out. Ricky is also a genuinely insanely nice guy glad you guys have fun shredding

I said it last time, and I mean it more this time, your determination is admirable as heck. To see a non-skater try so hard to get a kickflip is both validating (as a skater) and inspiring (as a skater or whoever else, I’d guess) good job! I’m happy I subscribed after your first kickflip video

This is such a fun and wholesome stream. Love it.

Why did this turn into Ricky just showing off really hard tricks haha Luv you Ricky! Also I love seeing your progression Maya!

Yooo! Of all the colabs things not one I would have ever expected! Props maya and Ricky you brail boss

This video just had me smiling all the way through. Loved how wholesome it was!

Man.. these are just some nice ass people. Love seeing it ❤

I've watched so much Braille, this is such a meeting of the worlds right now. Love it

Absolutely love Ricky, seeing him come out here and have a great time teaching is so much fun.

Yoooo Ricky is a beast. His attitude and positivity helps tenfold.. most of me learning skating is just willing to take those bruises and keep going and if you don’t have a positive mindset or support system it’s hard for anybody to learn anything.. keep up the hustle, both of you 🤙🏽

It’s always cool to see people like Ricky who are real artists at what they do.

_[TL;DR - I loved every minute of this and hope you continue doing even more streams with Ricky! Please! ♥️]_ I watched that whole VoD, and the other three... I loved every minute, and I'm not even into skateboarding (aside from X-Games in the late-90s). The fact you and he managed to get you to land a trick _more than once_ is awesome and inspiring. I don't care that it was a Shuvit, because I noticed that was the trick you were almost managing DAY ONE (on *accident!* lol) I've said it on the VoD, I'll say it here: I really hope you and Ricky will continue to do skating collabs! (the fact you went out to meet him after the fact, gives me hope) Heck, maybe Ricky can even help with a donation drive stream in the future! 🤷‍♂️ But yea, I mirror everyone else's sentiments: Ricky is insanely nice, and watching you two was really uplifting. I intentionally watched that over a few days, just because it left me with a smile the whole time... and things that make me smile these days, are rare, so I wanted to savor it. 😊 Also, when the Wolves are established, please have Ricky AND Jenise come for a proper collab (now that Ricky is on Twitch). Hell, maybe have your new Skater Friend come one day, just for a quick tour like Ricky got. 😊

You absolutely deserved that board. I was so impressed by how long you kept at it. You really are one of the best people :]

I love how encouraging he is!

Loved this vid, ricky is way too good at skating!

✊ These have been really great vids Maya. The footage of Ricky coordinating with Maya to land a trick over, and over, and over again quicky encapsulated visually what persistence is needed to accomplish something. That's needed for all sports, but for skateboarding especially... And also translates to life in general. It's always rad to see something cool take place, but I've always been especially interested in seeing the learning process and perseverance involved in achieving said radness. Thanks for sharing. ✌️

ricky is so nice omg 🥺🫶🏽

Awesome videooo! The "has fentanyl" cracked me up lol

You got this Maya! Don't get intimidated when someone makes it look easy it just comes from prac and getting the technique down. You got it!

My favorite Maya video ever !! I loved skating as kid, so this felt nostalgic in a way

This was a really fun video!

Half pipe at Alveus when?

Good job on this video, it made me laugh a lot and I learned something about skateboarding. Thanks, Ricky, for helping her learn!

Well done on your commitment at least

Dran bleiben! 👍🏼 Ich übe gerade mit meiner Nichte zusammen das Rollschuh fahren. 😅
