  1. Being a retired competitive athlete… This narative is one of the most accurate I have ever seen or heard. It's the truth, unlike some of the mainstream "work hard, dreams come true" bs…

  2. So this one guy said to my friend and I "The Faster You Go The Higher You Fly" and me and my friend were like whoa

  3. Amazing video! I’m 40 years old and every time a ride my bike I feel like a young happy kid full of fun dreams. Definitely this video is a 👍🏻 God bless!

  4. Whenever I lose my motivation I came here to gain it back. Even though there are so many walls to break between me and becoming a race winning rider, I'll try my best.

  5. Tracklist:

    1. When the kids are building jumps and riding:
    Windmills – Shame (or a different song from the Measures album, I'm not sure exactly which one)

    2. Jumps at sunset:
    Windmills – Babel

  6. My motivation for studying, comes from this video. Its not only about biking & all ,what he's saying is all about everyone's deam to make them true .

  7. dang this is four years old already? I still remember watching this for the first time so vividly like it was yesterday, and yet it still gives me goosebumps. what a beautiful piece of art!

  8. не знаю сколько уже раз пересматриваю но это очень мотивируещее видео
