  • even at 23 i have no problem saying this kid had more ability on a bike than i can hope to get in a long time!

  • Is he riding a rocket or a bike?

  • 1:48

    You voice is cute !

  • sad to c a such a kid full of life gone sad rest in peace mate i just found info on u and must say u was very good at what u did unlucky rest in peace mate

  • really sad, I don't know the details of what went wrong but it defiantly wasn't the normal and I hope more take after his enthusiasm

  • Please keep these videos up for not only his memories, but the inspirations, for other kids, and adults to set goals. And to show if you really believeand love in what you do. Anything is possible.

    RIP Peter.

  • Love you peter.

    Rest In Peace.

    We will allways be with you.

  • Rip......peter lenz........:'(

  • FOREVER 45

  • RIP Peter...

    

  • Wish my parents had been willing to back me on this. I'm 19 now and probably too old for this to ever become something more than a hobby... Life isn't measured by how long it is but by what you do with the time you have... Lucky little man, got to do what he loved...

  • i love it how he says "I'm definitely coming back"- they're the kind of words you expect to hear coming from Rossi or Stoner's mouths

  • I love the phone he was holding too. ;)-

  • what did he say from 0:41 to 0:46?

  • @colorfulcookiemonsta "You need a whole lot more balls to get through the fast corners then the slow corners."

  • @minigpx HAHA! thats funny. I can tell Peter was a great kid. When I race (probably modifieds or late models) I will be #45 in memory of Peter.

  • my Brothers name is Peter Lenz and I hope the same thing wont happen to him

  • bravest kid ive ever seen, broken bones and everything but still determine to ride his bike, huge respect. r.i.p peter

  • r.i.p liittle dude

  • Too Young. is an understatement.......

  • Rip little brother ;(

  • It's really sad that's he's dead now because he could of been the best rider of our years to come but unfortunately he's passed on :,( but atleast hopefully in the future that there will probably be another gifted kid out there coming throught the ranks just like peter and until then I will try with inspiration peter has given me to be better at my riding RIP peter

  • If I have a son i hope hes like this kid. Peter is such an inspiration to me. RIP Peter

  • Racing was in Peter's blood, something that he wanted to do, no doubt about it and noone can take that out of him just like me racing, everybody can try pushing me away from racing but it will never work. God gave us a natural talent and it encourages us to live the life he gave us. Unlike some teens, Peter and I wanted to race instead of going out to movies, or playing an athletic sport like football. I remember him everyday in my life and of the smile he had. FOREVER 45!!!!

  • A vida não passa de uma oportunidade de encontro; só depois da morte se dá a junção; os corpos apenas têm o abraço, as almas têm o enlace... Que vc Peter possa esta com DEUS agora... Aqui na terra so saudades, desta estrela que brilhou e trouxe muitas alegrias...

  • we will miss you

  • rest in peace peter........

  • you will be missed

  • RIP

  • R.I.P little man

  • I think I noticed Joe Roberts twice in this video. Looked like him standing next to Peter behind the interviewer in the blue t-shirt. The second time he was holding a trophy as Peter was standing up to claim his own award. I know Joe was riding next to Peter and saw Peter fall. How is the "Wild Thing" is doing? In the interview he gave hours after the accident it seemed that the reality of Peter's loss had not yet registered. Joe is even more adorable than Peter if such a thing is possible.

  • Only one thing bothers me. After the 2009 accident Peter's father said that Peter had been riding a 14 year old bike with multiple age related maintenance issues. Peter should have had a factory fresh bike in perfect working order. A new bike might have saved him from the 2009 accident. If I had known that then I would have been happy to contribute to a 2009 model.

  • rip

  • Rest in peace, little big man.!

  • r.i.p. little angel..

  • i'm glad that peter had a chance in his life to do what he loved it breaks my heart to know that he is gone so young bet he will live on in the hearts of people that loved him

  • RIP... Peter has inspired me and I hope that when I have kids I have the means to allow them to pursue racing, or whatever their hearts desire. Condolences to his family & friends. He hasn't died, simply transitioned to another track awaiting all of you.

  • A 12 year old racing a 125cc and dieing is the same as

    A 21 year old racing a 600cc and dieing its all part and parcel of the sport.

    R.I.P Lil man, we all love u. x

  • R.I.P lil' Racer :-( such a great talent...

  • RIP peter :'(

  • I personally dont agree with people saying he was too young. He was handling the bike like a pro! How many kids can a handle a bike at the age of 5, let alone a motorized one! As a fellow racer, I know that there are restrictions based on the rider. RACING IS DANDEROUS, regardless of machine! I'm sure Peter knew that as did his parents. I race alot of different machines from race cars to race karts! Everything has its own dangers. Peter lived life to the fullest, and he will be deeply missed.

  • we all will miss you..

  • rip peter.

  • R.I.P FROM ST.PAUL MN USA

  • He seems like a very cool kid. RIP Peter

  • Wie konnten die eltern das nur zu lassen ok ist villt ein sehr schönes hoby

    aber er war noch ein kind :( Das ich mir vorstelle er ist in meinen alter gewersen und dan jetzt so was krass ,

    RIP !

  • @padrak18 it is 100% dependent on the person. Peter was not the "norm". His mental capacity and grasp far exceeded that of one his age, he understood. There are many folks out there that don't. But the speed isn't the issue, straight-line speed means little. More important is the interaction with other riders. Knowing to keep the eyes up track to notice shifts in body-position, attack angle of riders, the sound of the bikes in front of you, notice the signs... these are what matter.

  • @padrak18 The facts are that Peter, as well as the other riders, are very well trained, and are very safety oriented. I have heard Child Development Specialist keep saying that, "Normal kids at this age aren’t fully developed and they don't have the maturity level to make sound decisions." But these talented young men and women are extremely mature for their age and they are fully aware of what is going on and the potential dangers that are associated with this wonderful sport.

  • Good onya little tacker!

  • Such a shame! RIP little fella!!!

  • RIP. From POLAND Peter! [*]

  • big attitude from a little man...

    Rest in peace !!! 

  • rip peter lenz from philippines

  • @Dovid2000 In the end it's still a subjective opinion of what one views as a risky activity compared to another. As Ayrton Senna once said (not literally) people have different perception of risk and limits. I'm pretty sure most motorsport drivers and riders realize the risk and are willing to take it. Besides, who's to say how life is meant to be lived, whether you have to reach old age or not. Only God knows and I suppose it's different for everyone out there. RIP Peter.

  • @hristoitchov When you say, "Who's to say how life is meant to be lived, whether you have to reach old age or not," there is some truth to this statement. Every man has been alloted so many number of days in this life. There is also an old Hebrew proverb which says:

    "The feet of man are surety for him."

    (i.e., if it has been decreed in Heaven that a man must die at a certain place, his feet will see to it that he gets there.)

  • R.I.P

  • R.I.P little man! you lived my dream you were an amazing talent!!! my heart go's out to to the family! no words can ease the pain! 13 is too soon.. so sorry!

  • r.i.p

  • @ainoaconan how did he die

  • Peter R.I.P - from Bosnia & Hercegovina

  • who is anyone to judge his parents.. my god there flesh and blood is dead there son can you even imagine the hurt they are going through and yet the vultures are out pointing fingers and blaming people...his parents loved him so much they let him do what he loved so dearly..would you stop your child from reaching there potential.. we cant all win x factor or americas got talent some of us have different gifts and would be a sin against our creator and nature not to use them.. god bless you pete

  • So sad, he was lovely. RIP Peter.

  • R.I.P from Bosnia bro.

  • looks like an awesome young kid with lots of potential. Commiserations to the family and friends of Peter :)

  • It's hypocrisy when people admire grown-up successful bike riders and racing drivers, but forget most of them have something in common - they started out very young! That's how it works... RIP Peter.

  • People talking about risks they don't understand... The kid loved riding motorcycles and that's what counts. It's always a calculated risk. Heck, if you want to avoid death you should lock yourself up in a room and not doing anything because there's risk in any activity. You're delusional if you think bike racing is much too dangerous - there are millions of riders doing it daily and fatal accidents are extremely rare these days because safety is of high standards.

  • R.I.P. little Peter :(

  • R.I.P Wee Man .. Didnt deserve to die so Young ! R.I.P

  • the little man lived to race. Some people are born with an incredible talent, he was one of them. Godspeed, little dude

  • R.I.P

  • Persistence, determination, integrity, passion, commitment- Peter displayed all of these qualities making him the champion that he was. The passing of Peter is a tragic loss to the motorcycle / superbike community. Peter died doing what he loved and inspired us all. Never forget!

    4ever* 5

    RIP little man and Godspeed!

    Sincere sympathy to the Lenz family- you are in my heart, thoughts, and prayers!

    ACE/STT #62

  • Heartbreaking to loose such a happy and talented kid.  RIP Peter, Indy will remember you.

  • RIP Peter

  • R.I.P great rider..

  • RIP FROM FRANCE

  • RIP. Too young to die.

  • Do not disrepect the parents or family of Peter Lenz. They were supporting their child. Samething my dad and mom did. I wanted to play soccer so they provided me every opportunity to make it big. Soccer was what I was truly passionate about. This video shows Peter loved racing motorcycles. If you dont get that look at his pictures in his facebook profile. The kid had the most beautiful smile. Have some respect for the family, Unbelievable that some of these comments have been made. RIP

  • What a champion. living the dream, gone too soon, but nver forgotten.

  • Peter Lenz, a true Champion, with skill, devotion and determination has won the hearts of so many. Rest In Peace. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.

  • RIP Little Man. I am a rider as well as a mother of a 3 and 4 yr old. If they came to me today and said "Mommy, I want to ride", I would say, "Let's do it". Fear should NEVER hold you back from your goals. Fear should NEVER stop you from success. All of you people who are bashing this family after their loss really need to get a life. This kid was not on drugs, he was not selling drugs. He was not a wanna be thug.. he loved this and his parents understood. You will forever be remembered. <3

  • Such a shame most of us older guys wish we could throw a bike around bends at those lean angles and never will. R.I.P. Little man.......

  • R.I.P man Keep her pinned

  • He was a Star.

    Rest in peace little Star. :(

  • Sucks to lose such a great kid. Condolences to his family and friends. I just hope this doesn't affect the parents of other kids and decide to pull them out against their will. You could see it in his eyes he loved racing. For those that trow his parents under the bus, I hope you use a condom and never have kids because they will probably miserable. Godspeed Peter.

  • I can't forget this video and the notice gave me a Shock.

    For me, is a terrible Notice. R.I.P PETER ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS

  • I just have to say R.I.P PETEER!

    I Didn't really known who he was untill now but now, I know he was a very WONDERFUL person.

    Love You Peter. Always in our hearts

  • did'nt really know who he was untill now but anyway RIP!

  • My condolences go out to those closest to this incredible person. At 13 he showed such ambition and promise.. R.I.P Peter Lenz

  • he was probably one of the fastest kid to get to heaven wen he pasted... probably on a bike :(

    would of gone big. R.I.P.

  • All I can Say.. God Bless this Kid ;-(

  • R.I.P.

  • Godspeed Peter - see you on the other side.

  • Sad...

  • better rider than most of us ever hope to be

  • RIP PL45. The world has lost it's next big star adnd no one will be able to replace him. Peter died doing what he loved to do and that's all that really matters.

  • ciao peter :-(

  • R.I.P. you'll ride in another world baby valentino!

  • femsual - Very mature response. Did your mom teach you how to use those pet names?

    -

    A young boy has died doing something he loves and you have the nerve to post your stupid comments on here? Show a little respect and go find somewhere to play. This isn't the place.

  • What a cool kid. RIP Peter.

  • R.I.P little buddy.

  • R.I.P.

  • Race In Paradise..keep dragging those elbows buddy

  • RIP Peter...

  • RIP Peter. Meeting you Saturday was an experience. I will see you soon and maybe I will be able to keep up with you then!

  • What an amazing Kid Peter was. He Definitely had the racing spirit in him and it shined through!! R.I.P. Peter!! Prayers and Condolences to the Lenz family

  • R.I.P.

  • What a Great Race. God bless you Peter Lenz and your family. Your in my prayers.

  • @femsual saw your own stupidity and removed comment, good for you!

    Stick to handbags, as "adult activity". Everything is dangerous, relatively speaking, see the stats for death from everyday house accidents, they exceed road crash death in some 1st world countries. People die all the time just crossing the road - riding on the track is relatively free of danger unless a freak accident occurs, and there is always and ambulance on stand-by - I'll sabotage your website if you keep talking shit!

  • My heart goes out to family and friends of Peter. RIP #45, you were a true champion. There is no doubt the world has lost a future world champ!

  • @elvishitler

    Your a $#^%ing Idiot so you telling me if your kid falls of the curb walking and breaks something you better keep him inside or someone slips going down the stairs in your house you better move into a ranch home. Think before you say something or you just sound like an ass

  • @elvishitler i was racing at that age. It's not the crash that kills you it's the sudden stop or acelleration. and theres nothing to hit out there. most of the time you just slide. He crashed and was O.k. when he got hit by another bike. Anyway he chose to go back, i've chose to go back after bad wrecks. almost everyone will. It's to much fun. It IS worth the the risk. listen to the last sentance he said in this video!

    Added note to all, pro Motocross racers for the most start at the age of 4.

  • You always has a great spirit Peter. Rest in peace, or tear up those clouds...which ever you prefer!

  • My heart goes out to this boy and his family!!! From watching this video you can tell how much he loved the sport. R.I.P. Peter

  • @Ninerider1

    Here here, the world as lost a future world champion

    RIP

    Peter

  • RIP little guy

  • @femsual Whatever you may say it gives me comfort to know you're in the minority when it comes to how people feel about this. :)

  • @bgywstu News flash dumbass. 99.9% of the top motorcycle racers in the world started racing as young as Peter was. Get educated before making ignorant comments.

  • @femsual Let me guess....you also probably believe that guns are bad and have no other purpose than killing people too, right?

    How old are if you don't mind me asking? Are you one these "absolute safety" minded people that don't understand what calculated risk is? Do you live your life in a bubble? You are pathetic and spineless. You will die with a lot of regret. This I can promise you.

  • @femsual Jumping off a bridge will almost surely kill you. Racing a motorcycle is quite different. It is a risk but it's a calculated one. The chances of surviving unharmed are much greater than getting hurt or killed. That's not opinion but historical fact. Sometimes one has to risk life in order to live it. I'm sorry that you can't understand that but that doesn't make it crazy or untrue. Peter raced because he loved it. Most of us won't have the fortune to die doing what we love.

  • RIP bro

  • @femsual - Go post on a topic you know something about. This certainly isn't one of them.

  • Peter, you're a legend my friend..

  • Wow! What an awesome kid!

    Just heard about what happened from a friend on Dailybooth.

    It's so sad to think he died while Xavier Zayat (the other rider) wasn't even hurt. D:

    R.I.P Little dude. X :'(

  • TBIC HEY PETER SAY HI TO ADAM PETTY FOR ME.IM SURE YOUR BOTH UP THERE RACING ON THAT TRACK OF GOLD.RIP LITTLE RACER.

  • God Love ya..

    much respect kiddo, i'm almost fifty and still strive/hope to be half as cool as you!

    rip little brother...

  • @bgywstu your an idiot. if your kid loved something so much regardless of what it is, you would support it. you and wendy murphy need to shut the fuck up about him being too young and shit. cuz in the end, all of us roadracers would killed to have started racing at his age.

    RIP Peter Lenz, and to his dad...... fuck all the haters

  • @nagulia I am with ya man, haven't been racing yet just TD's but plan to be in a couple years...Peter Lenz was an amazing kid/rider...got passed by him at a TD and man it was awesome, and he was gone lol

  • all of those riders should be honored to have been passed by a kid with such talent. peter you will always be remembered and now a legend in many minds RIP

  • R.I.P. Peter Im wishing the family well! 

  • You see him passing the big bikes w/ less displacement. Good rider! RIP

  • This kid was good. Very sad to find out he passed away. What a great loss.

    R.I.P. little man.

  • RIP Pete. You will be misssed.

  • RIP Peter.....Prayers sent to family and close friends.....

  • @femsual You speak about something of which you can't possibly understand unless you have done it yourself.

  • RIP peter such a tragic loss...take a lifetime before his time...

    @ 3:23-3.26 "I can't stay away from motorcycle racing" his words and the look on his face you can tell that nothing would have kept him from doing the thing he loved most.

  • R.I.P Peter ... God Bless , and my condolences to the family and friends.....

  • Peter lived more and got more out of life than many people who live much, much longer. I am sure he would have been something great. God speed little brother. From a former motorcycle road racer with 15 years experience.

  • rip

  • rip Champion

  • Rest In Piece bro, your racers were amazing and you were taken to early!

    People stop complaining and blaming the parents and Americans this has nothing to do with race, children start racing mx when they are 5 and move into road racing if they wish! you can clearly tell he was passionate about racing so leave him and his family alone! Everyone knows the dangers of motor sport and everyone knows champions are born and start out young its a shame his death is being over shadowed by negativity.

  • @snekugle where do people like like you crawl out off? This was a freak accident, just like freak accidents happen in many other sports/activities - horseriding, bmx, walking up trails from botanical gardens - like the 14 year old U.S. tourist that fell to his death just before Football World Cup in Cape Town, when out with his family.

  • @femsual This was a freak accident, just like freak accidents happen in many other sports/activities - horseriding, bmx, walking up trails from botanical gardens - like the 14 year old U.S. tourist that fell to his death just before Football World Cup in Cape Town, when out with his family - a very adult activity!!!

  • such a cute kid.. rest in peace

  • When the race anouncer said keep on going like this and youll be a world champion one day it almost brought me to tears.

  • Bye little great man...*-*

  • R.I.P. BOY!!!

  • We lost a great rider and a great human being. He had such unbelievable joy in his eyes when riding, and even if he was just talking about riding. He will be missed by many.

  • @magnetpi21 wow... you idiot... first of all the family is having a hard time already and you wanna be a jerk...

    i've said this before already to another guy... don't insult what you don't understand...

    would you rather he live his life knowing he could've pursued something he loved and did it for a living but his parents didn't let him cause they were too scared?

    I have a friend whose dad does that... he could've been good but his dad was too scared to let him ride...

  • @femsual stupid adult activity... don't insult something you don't understand...

  • @snekugle you ignorant fool...

    FIrst of all to make it in this sport you have to start young... younger than 10...

    Peter loved this... he loved every second of this... this was his passion and it would have broken his heart if he wasn't allowed to do what he knows he was born to do...

    The parents knew the risks... peter knew the risks... every racer does...

    I'd rather be an irresponsible parent than to deprive my son of his passion...

  • rip

  • RIP Peter Lenz... 

  • Rest in Peace.
