AFM Banquet 2010

[d3monhuntei2]

This guy's voice is almost as inspirational as Morgan Freeman's

[mr22pct]

3:30 lesson in LIFE

[r6gomez]

over all an amazing video. not only can the speech be applied to racing or motorcycles but to any aspect in life. great stuff. im definently hitting the track this weekend =]

[sowega]

First race of the season in the morning. Thanks again!

[eddnichols1]

best vid i have watched in a while! good job

[TheBrockelbank]

Those 15 people are the people who didn't seize their opportunities. Those who didn't want to have to put in the effort to win. They won't ever get this message. And that's unfortunate.

This is by far one of the most applicable, inspirational, intense, and true speeches I've ever heard. I'll be sure to come back to it again and again.

[GSXRSICKDOUBLEOH]

WOW BEST VIDEO I EVER SEEN. GOOD JOB MAN. MY NUMBER1 FAVORITE VIDEO NOW 8)

[SDkawi6]

I want him to be my coach!! lol

[FBCStuttgart]

Dangit! I was already anxious for the first CMRA race coming up in a couple weeks and this didn't help at all! GREAT VID!!

[brianduc27]

Thumbs up if you have a chubby!

[qotsa630]

This film is great, got my heart racing! wanna get out on track now!! Should do it with a isle of mann tt video though.

great work.

[itzthatvietguy]

Wheelie @ start off!

[AGrossi32]

Amazing video...excluding the staged burnout scene!

[idkyoo]

that was the best damn speech i've ever heard in my life!! john doman for president!

[ridesallyridenc]

15 people will never, ever understand.

[GMan2670]

Good speach,really inspireing. Now where's my lid? :)



[hotintel89]

man imma go riding now!! haha

[baker70romeo]

This seems to be suited more for the Isle of Man.

[geonerd]

Yikes! The dreary, hackneyed commentary effectively ruins the otherwise excellent video.

[Venner0878]

This video always pumps me up and sends chills up my spine! If it weren't for all the AFM race clips, you'd swear it was a motivational speech on life! Can't watch this enough

[BrYc3who]

gave me goose bumps....time to go for a ride =)

[rjbrittain11]

I can't wait to see what 4theriders has in store for the Banquet this Saturday!! Its gonna be a good one!

[peberly]

Awesome!

[youreadork]

Gad dang I love this vid! Getting me all pumped up for next year's race and I dont' even race with y'all. LMAO!!

[NikmotarX]

This is amazing.. before every race, i watch this

[ER7K]

Gotta be the 100th or so time ive watched this

[bjbeth]

It's you verses second place. The clock is ticking, let's see what you've got.

[bjbeth]

That moment is a cross-roads, where EVERYTHING you want will collide with everything standing in your way. You've got momentum at your back, fear and doubt are THUNDERING like a freight train right at you. All you've got between making history and being history, the only thing, the ONLY thing you can count on at any given moment, is YOU! Its you verses them, you verses NO, you verses CAN'T, you verses NEXT YEAR, LAST YEAR, STATISTICS, EXCUSES. It's you verses history. YOU verses the odds.

[bjbeth]

Whether or not you win this thing, you've got to decide how you're going to walk out of here once it's all said and done. 'Cause the game is going to go on, there's only one rule you're going to need to know about, there are NO second chances. There is only this moment and the next moment. Every one of those moments is a test, that you get to take one time and ONLY one time. So if you see an opening, tear into it. If you get a shot at victory, make DAMN sure you take it. Seize that moment.

[ridngsxrs]

Awesome and very motivational!  I guess the 15 guys that disliked this video probably owns Harley's.

[gord2910]

Awesome. I watch this vid a few times a week.

[SimuLord]

Ave, true to Caesar.

[exarheas]

Badass. Nice work.

[jdesieldoggy]

Was at the track today. Sat in my truck and watched this before one of the sessions.... I didn't know whether to go back out on the track or go TAKE OVER A COUNTRY SOMEWHERE!!!

[ROULETTE5969]

Juiced!

[greddyt05]

No matter how many times I watch this I still get chills up my spine. :)

[bkaugust]

Bravo!!!



[whadt]

I live in a part of Canada where you can tell that winter is just around the corner and, thus, the bike will be sleeping for the better part of 6 looooooooooooong months.

This video will be stirring up my hunger until next spring. I need to take up ice racing or something.

[1011kass]

[DUCATIPUNK]

[kfanady]

@DUCATIPUNK What is a "Dinasoure"? I never learned about those in school, along with evolution.

[Fiheios]

@DUCATIPUNK By the way its Survival of the Strongest. Theres more than one saying. And beeing a twat will not get you anywhere. Enjoy the video.

[thsdebater04]

Well that settles it. I'm buying a race bike.

[sowega]

It's 9:51 on a random Thursday, and I am beyond pumped about racing at Barber this weekend. This is the greatest thing I've ever seen on the internet.

[michaelborelli]

Joe, that was an awesome video. Your doing great work and deserve the recognition. Hope everyone with AFM liked it and appraised it, im sure the crash victims had a couple of smirks but that is to be expected. Keep up the good work brother. Peace out

[MonicaRidesMoto]

EPICCCCCC

[usranger62]

everytime i watch this, i get more of an urge to be persistent, passionate, and determined in all that i do! this is awesome! simply awesome!

[prorobo]

This is wicked. I never thought of Moto GP when the Versus spots aired but this fits nicely. Sick.

[jpmorgan187]

commentator needs to remove excess saliva from mouth when getting all fired up

[rukind69]

Totally inspiring video about mind set/attitude about race day. Incredibly well produced and motivating. Awesome job guys!!!

[california145]

[banzai132]

Visceral motivation.....DESTROY!!!

[gggromay]

[banzai132]

@gggromay

Instrumental ONE by Metallica.

[jtomos]

@banzai132

Wrong. It's ONE by Apocalyptica

[Racer820]

This is exactl what our Sport needs. People ask why we do what we do. It is hard to put in words so we jut say because we are crazy. But this video gets the point accross a way that just words never could. Watching it I get that feelig I do pulling up to the grid after the parade lap/

[jtomos]

E P I C ! ! !

[benparker99]

Inspirational. Who wrote the speech?

[rgomiela]

I will watch this before every trackday/race. Inspirational just doesn't describe this video.

[sigmiami]

@Orangebike666 lol, I think we all got wood off this video - XXX stuff.......

[Theloonytoons]

This will be my first year racing in CMRA here in Texas. I think it's going to cost allot more money and pain then I anticipated.

Bring it on.

Forwarded this vid to all my friends and I have seen it on every motorcycle forum I am a member of... This shi% is going viral!

[240punk]

That was amazing. I am buying a motorcycle.

[ThunderofBkk]

I just stumbled over this channel and I'm hooked already. Really great stuff here Seppes. Greetings from Bangkok, Thailand

[alanwilz]

OMIGOD WAS THAT GREAT !

it was like watching all of "FASTER" in 5 minutes :)

I sent it to Eric Bostrom figuring he'd be all "Yeah - that's the NorCal guys..."

instead he sent it out on Twitter and FLIPPED over it , exactly as I , or ANY trackhound , amateur or pro , MUST.

[seppes]

@alanwilz thanks, dude! :D

[RLFmotorsports]

Well done!!!!! Awesome

[motopolack]

AWESOME !!!! LOVE IT !!!!!

[bghann]

Who is the name of the guy talking? First and Last and contact would be great.

[2StrokeManiac89]

congrats for the excellent video! trully inspiring words. keep it up!!

[luispest]

Awesome narrative and footage. Well done..

[driftazn]

What kind of sunglasses are those in 2:27???

[RTiCreation]

For all the people who hit "dislike"... Oh.. Wait, nevermind.

:D

[stormcalai]

This was incredible ... the words were by far the biggest inspiration.

"The only thing you can count on at any given moment... is YOU!"

[DevilDuck996]

Oh man!!!!  This makes me so want to get out there and ride. So exciting! I love this!

[kingsknightuk]

love the song!

[thumpin250]

lordy classical metallica sounds good.

[manbearpig1986]

@thumpin250 It sure does. I checked out apocalyptica's other songs. They play alot of metallica, sounds awesome!

[operationnorthwoodz]

Youtube was founded on plagerism. Race on.

[huhman1000]

the narration and first explosions in the sky song come from a nike ad, the narrator is John Doman - probably best know as Bill Rawls Deputy Comissioner of Ops on the Wire . . . still great work.

[tripletrash]

this video makes me feel froggy 

[leget12345]

Epic.......that is what racing is all about. Congrats, excellent job.

[probefahreralex]

You say non-profit film - I say a wonderful Ode to Racing! Absolutely awesome!

[TimothyScottHawkins]

At least 1,000 of these views are mine.

[srivet121]

Amazing, exciting, itching for the track in 2011
