Dr. Tae have you ever heard of John Taylor Gatto?? You two should really get together on a project of some sort that would be amazing.

[Mofozofo]

This guy is AWESOME !!!!!!!

10/10 DR. Tae Still the best presentation, making one think.

[bocaburgler]

Learning can be fun, and it depends on your perception. I really disagree with that point. If you don't enjoy the doing, and the process of skateboarding then there is no point to "do" it even if it is just to learn the trick. The learning curve is there, and you appreciate it and enjoy it, knowing that your goal will be reached, and eventually you will be learning all over again, but this time a on new trick.

I wish Dr. Tae was my teacher..

[paintnskate18]

the man really likes his busenitz'

[skullhacks78]

@paintnskate18 haha my board is a Real Dennis Busenitz Roll Forever, from Roll Forever video (2005) wich is not one of his best ones

[ET253]

@skullhacks78 dude no way Busenitz part in that is awesome

[skullhacks78]

@ET253 he got way better fotty.

[ET253]

@skullhacks78 true but that was still a sick part. although I always wondered why they used the run where he did nollie flip down some stairs and then fifty a rail against a wall when in the bonus features he does that same run but with a five-o =p

Doctorate + extreme sports + state the obvious = a new ideology? We don't need some skateboarding nerd to tell us that. Year round school, classes that don't start until 12 pm, good teachers; these are the keys to better education. Not less structure, learn at your own pace/grade yourself.

[grinout]

@pointlessfailure Unfortunately, I think his point is that the way things are set it up it's not exactly possible to learn your own pace. I think that was the point of the you can never know how long it's going to take any person to learn any trick. I may be just a "skateboarding nerd" myself, but at least I get it.

[rustleskate]

Dr. Tae is rad....

[shutuplistentoArnie]

Highly interesting concept. Applying this even just temporarily as a trail I think would massively influence the way many people think. Amazing :) Also sweeeeeeeeet

[skullhacks78]

Skating is negatively stereotyped in a lot of zones...

[thepunnonly]

Awesome - "Experience is the best teacher - it gives you the grade first, then the lesson"

[krumofvik]

Hey Tae. I'm here to provide you with immediate and meaningful feedback, just like concrete. Awesome talk man.

[skullhacks78]

@drtae So they delete your comments in a video where you appear. A mad world this is.

[drtae]

@skullhacks78 No, I removed it. It was clutter.
