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…

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!
I come back and re-watch this video every couple of months. So inspirational. Love it.
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.
i always come back to this film, is just a piece of art
Аrt in every way:
story, footage, ride, photography …
Аll praise to the whole team!!!
