I'm currently on my honeymoon in California, but rather than leave the channel just
abandoned we have invited guests to feature on the channel.
Nearly 1,000 people applied and we chose three great YouTubers to cover for me while I'm gone.
This first video was made by a youtuber called JAYVEETEE. He has a great channel
It's totally underrated if you like him, you should go and check out and subscribe
With all that said JAYVEE take it away!
Hey, how's it going? My name's JAYVEE
I'm not Scottish nor do I usually find myself learning weird and intriguing new skills for an Internet show,
but this week I'm feeling kinda frisky and kinda Ninja-y
I wanna learn how to throw knives!
So a few years ago when I went on a camping trip, a family friend of mine that I had never met before
Gave me his old, chipped, rusted knives, for some reason.
I've never actually thrown these knives... i...But I've always wanted to.
I just need to find a safe and non-creepy place to learn how to throw knives in the city of Chicago.
Which was pretty much impossible
There was something odd about some strange guy in a local neighbourhood park throwing knives at a dartboard while recording themselves.
So I travelled all the way to my hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio to finish this challenge
So there's a lot of different ways to throw knives.
I've been watching some videos on YouTube, some people grab it by the handle, some people grab it by the blade.
There's No-Spin-Method, there's Half-Spin
I'm just gonna go for the regular spin cuz that's just what I see in the movies.
So first, I'm gonna be learning how to throw from here, which is about 10 feet away...
... and as always this is Day One, Hour Zero!
Ugh, that clang, when the knife hits the board, that's the worst sound possible. I wanna avoid that sound at all cost!
I'm just getting clang after clang after clang
I don't know if it has to do with my position.
If I need to back up or step up.
So I'm just gonna experiment for a little bit.
So I've had no luck gripping the handle of the knife, so I'm gonna just try to actually grip the blade itself
Here we go!
Maybe if I step back...
I'm gonna just take each knife and throw it at different distances and see what sticks.
Oh! ( laughs ) Look at that!
I got one in. I got one in the board, not in the black, but actually in the board, I think I'm onto something...
So, let's see if I can do that again.
Again, I was throwing with the blade on that one.
Yes! Just like that, I'm getting better. I'm getting better!
As soon as you think you have progress you throw one and it clangs and it destroys your ego.
So, I think I'm figuring out a couple things,you want to really control the variety
of the ways that this can fail.
If you find something that works for you, the way it throws ...Uhm... You wanna stick with that! I need to lock down my throw!
Yes! Okay, okay, okay!
Oh yes, that's two in a row!
So I'm starting to figure this out!
It's a soft release, it's easy, it's nice, it's delicate, it's romantic.
It's like reaching out for a loved one or letting go of your child that's off to university.
Of course the analogy breaks down when you consider the fact that you're trying to stab them... with a knife.
You get what I mean!
I'm moving on to a farther distance from here.
That seems impossible!
So initially, I had been experimenting with a few different distances
But at some point I began to hone in on the final goal for this challenge...
So now my new goal for this challenge is to hit three knives into the target from about six feet away
and then another knife from about 12 feet away
Round Two!
I've sort of switched up the placement of the target and where I'm gonna be standing.
The problem with that is that I've sort of lost my place and now I'm back to Square One...
I think I've got that!
I'm gonna move back!
( cheers )
That was my first knife land from back there.
Ugh, I'm done! It's so hot!
It's sticky, these knives are clanging in my face...
Right when you think you have it...the knives prove that you do not have it!
At this point I'm just gonna give up and just go for it!
I've been doing this way too long. I wanna go for the gold! I wanna go for it!
I wanna try to accomplish the goal right here, right now!
Three knives from about six feet away. One knife from about 10 to 12 feet away.
Right here!
One!
Two!
Three! Boom!
That was first tried so I still have that, I still have that down!
Now it's do or die right here!
I just have to get this in the board.
( cheers )
First try! I I officially... learned how... to throw knives!
So that was incredibly incredibly difficult!
Doesn't matter, either way I got it!
Overall this was a lot of fun.
I feel like I'm more prepared to take on criminals as long as they're within at six to ten foot range.
By the way, in case you didn't know: My name is Javi Tremolo. I'm a Digital Filmmaker currently working in Chicago, Illinois.
This has been a lot of fun! Also, you should watch out because after doing this challenge, I'm definitely getting some Batarangs!
