  • big pegs

  • I'm not very good at riding, I doubt i'll ever be, but this video shares my exact point of view on how riding can change everything.

  • This video amps me up for riding wats the song called?

  • @brandonbsm21 its called the fighting song by the appleseed cast

  • @brandonbsm21 it's actually "fight song" by the appleseed cast

  • awesome video.

  • only video i have ever seen from 2005

  • Remember this, its not about how light your bike is or how many tailwhips you can do or what company you ride for. Because no matter who you are, where your from it’s all about the smirk, the itchy hands and the bounce when you see the most perfect spot.

  • I would have to say ride your bike for the love of riding a bike. Always remember the reason you kept on riding even after a broken leg, torn acl, swollen, beaten and bruised and you picked up that bike the very next day wondering what and where you can go today.

  • This was beautiful.

  • this is exactly how i feel i love riding and im never going to stop

  • the 19 dislikes are from skaters. bike all day!

  • This is why we all ride to feel that rush that nothing else can offer us BMX is a key part of my life and its probably the same way to a lot of other people join R.A.D (Riders against Discrimination) on facebook

  • what is the name of the song?!

  • @nimitz2020 just watch the vid up till the end :) ?

  • It doesnt matter how good you are..

    Just the fact that you took the time to get on a bike and try it.

    mabey you fell in love with it mabey you didnt.

    But one of the greatest feeling in the world is spending the day with your friends finding spots noone knew existed.

  • My life sucks so much, i'm 28 and got so obcessed about making money, buying an house and trying to pick up girls, that forgot about true friendship and what really makes me happy, riding bikes and live life each day, i miss riding so much, i'll get back on asap

  • So Tru society didn't except bmx

  • Join R.A.D -Riders Against Discrimination- on face book: Founded by the Furmage Family. " FIRST FAMILY OF FREESTYLE. this Original BMX Family fights for BMX freestyler rights.

  • this video is great, explains so much and is all truth about why we ride. This to be played in classrooms around the world! This sport gives you a sense of freedom, no feeling another sport can give you.

  • if anyone has ever asked you why show them this video. explain to them it doesnt matter the injuries the trouble the skill all that matters is your bike and your sole desire to progress and the absolute love for the sport that is bmx. till the day i die my bike will always be the one thing that understands me the best. bmx <3

  • justin beiber made 19 youtube accounts and disliked this wicked vid!!!!

  • @StreetBMX2010 Shut up and don't bring this crap over here. By the way, hating makes him more famous, so just enjoy the spirit of this video.

  • we spent 13 years building trails. only to get them in the paper, then bulldozed by the county. the next day we found a new spot, and started rebuilding. there really are no rules or guildlines that will stop you.

  • i love this video, it would be better if the rideing was a little better, but its such a good video!

  • 1:56

    sounds like someone coughed in my ear (im using earphones)

    SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME!?

    but wow dude, great vid.

  • "Its all the places you go and the people you meet its opens your eyes and lets you see things that most people tend to over look the next thing you know your bikes changing your perspectives and the way you look at life."

    LOOOOOLLLL you can do most of this stuff without having to bmx...

  • @josegotwood this is EXACTLY why you DONT ride.

  • @iBIVIX i ride with my bmx friends all the time. I have enough fun chilling. i don't need to do all the tricks to have the experience. Maybe i just don't understand... :(

  • @josegotwood yeah, but what you said is biking doesnt make your life different.. but it does. you look at everything differently.

  • @josegotwood Yes. Indeed you can. But it comes from a persective much different than from someone who rides. Unless of course you're speaking of skating, dirtbiking, snowboarding, or something of similarity. in that case I believe that you might be able to feel the same "escape" that you do with riding. But with anything else, it's much different. I know because I'm an artist as well and have a huge passion for it. And it does change the way I see things. But not in the same way as riding.

  • @josegotwood its called another perspective for a reason there explaining our side of bmx because not everyone gets the sport

  • story of my life

  • i can safely say ive watched this video over 50 times and i still love it its sooo inspirational and makes you wanna just go out and ride (:

    Im Ross ive been riding about a year now i ride every day i can its an escape from school and family its just my life now

  • People always ask us why we do what we do,they wonder what we find so fascinating about something as simple as riding, we try to explain to them but no matter how many times we try they just dont seem to understand, you see theres more to riding then just the thrill it gives you its all the places you go and the people you meet its opens your eyes and lets you see things that most people tend to over look the next thing you know your bikes changing your perspectives and the way you lookat life<3

  • OMG THIS IS SO EPIC OMG OMG OMG BMX IS SO COOL

  • Awesome BMX Insperation Video , Its why i still ride !!!

  • which song is it?

  • @moejoe405 the appleseed cast - fight song (:

  • myhuckaflow

  • the best video ever made

  • Sick video!

    I love my bike =)

  • this video is so great...people ask me why i love biking all the time and no matter how hard i try to explain..there no really no way to describe the feeling you get while riding and how it frees you

  • R.A.D. Riders Against Discrimination NOW HAS PROTEST T-shirts 4-sale that read "ALLOW BIKES NOW" With small R.A.D. Riders Against Discrimination Logo on bottom to raise money for the bikepark Fund OR YOU CAN WEAR THEM AT YOUR LOCAL PARK THAT DISCRIMINATES AGAINST BIKES. $10.00 ea PICK THEM UP or I can mail them to your area for the cost of shipping. WEAR THEM

  • @BMXFreestyleLegend helll ya

  • Why, why, why, does our local so called leaders only care about one thing, GOLF. Our kids live here to. All you local leaders in Hesperia Victorville and Apple Valley need to pull up your boot straps and come together and build a Bike / Skateboard multi use park and put this area on the map for these two youth sports. not later. NOW. The High Desert does not revolve around Golf, GOT IT. Our kids need this park.

  • Join R.A.D. Riders Against Discrimination on myspace and Facebook. Look up William Furmage. He was the first freestyle member who rode for vans in 1982. He fights for BMX Rights.

  • This is a vary true story! I use 2 ride about 8 hours every day but one day I recked badly and knocked myself out. All I remember is strugling 2 breath, strugling 2 move at all, trying 2 yell 4 help but not being able 2, and not knowing where I was eventhow I was only 10 feet away from my property. It made me realize that this sport can kill me and if u don't respect the sport u will die. It has been 2 years and I have not had the will 2 fix my bike. Hopefully that will change. ...Stay safe!!!

  • Keep on plugging for the Freestyle park Mr Furmage AKA Crazy Lacy. Apple Valley and the whole High Desert needs this for the youth. I wish other Parents, Bike Companys and Bike Shops would STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND SHOW SUPPORT FOR THE KIDS WHO BUY THEIR PRODUCT.

  • Explains my life.

  • this video says it all.... when your riding nothing matters its you and your bike and 99% of the time your friends, there is nothing else in the world like BMX where people come together so easy eg. car clubs, sporting teams, trends, "gangs" and all that type of crap they fight between each other and your an out cast if your not "known" or got "street rep" in BMX everyone is equal no matter there skill level we all still say hi and ride together its a brother hood like no other

  • Good coment. But when it come to brotherhood for a council meeting to fight for our rights NOBODY SHOWS!!!

    Get out and ralley for the sport BMX riders.

  • i know what its like almost all the boy kids in my town ride to get away from the drugs

  • riding when ur high is siik haha,

    your so focusd u have a good day of ridin

  • What is the guy's name in the red helmet?

  • fight song by the appleseed cast

  • Whats The Name Of The Song?

  • lunshad - one handed plant whip

  • Ok if anyone can message me with what trick that is at 2:40? i really want to know. its badass!

  • love it.

  • Underestimated Is Better This Is Good Tho Bro

  • Underestimated was pretty much a ripoff of this. this was made in 2005 Underestimated was made in 2008.

  • yeah this is more of a street freestyle kind of video and underestimated is like racing. and this has way better editing and wording.

  • if some one says riding is simple do something hand them the bike and have them do it not that easy i have much respect for riders if u dont like it fuck off

  • amen bro, this is the perfect way to describe our passion of bmx

  • 100% true.

    that video kinda explained to me why i ride...

    i didnt asked my self why am i riding. i just do it and enjoy it. but now i see that all the things he mentioned in the video are really there, the ppl the rush and the brotherhood betwen the riders.

    its just way of life.

    +5 !

    thanks!

  • this is the best video on youtube!

    this truely  says how i feel about bmx to!

  • song:

    Fight Song

    by

    The Appleseed Cast

  • iv been riding fore three years and all he says is fcking thrue bike chqnges our propective of seeing life its like a drug fore me you meet so ,uch peqople

  • Check you spelling, but I understand.

    I feel the same way, it's an escape from reality. Nothing else matters, relationship problems, family issues, nothing. It's just you and your bike.

  • If you have relationship problems, I mean SERIOUS relationship problems they usually get in your way. Unless you're trained to get into that one zone where nothing else matters..then riding during those times is a bad idea. I've basically given up on being cared for so I don't deal with it very often..but hey, not everybody is that pathetic. =/. It makes me not want to ride sometimes..but then I look at my bike, hear my cassette..and I can't resist.

  • @KuroKoden Don't you mean check YOUR spelling? lol I'm sure it was a typo, but it's just funny. hahaha

  • @andrewdrury1 It is called "situational irony" or more commonly known as sarcasm... purposly spelling it wrong to make fun of him

  • @KuroKoden I see. And sorry that I misunderstood. It was by all means not meant to offend you.

  • love it :)

  • best vid on youtube

  • this one is older than underestimated

  • Underestimated is better no offence u guys still pretty good video

  • love this

  • does anybody know what the song is??

  • its called "fight song" by a band called "the appleseed cast"

  • Check out my

    ( BMX protest in apple Valley )ca.

  • toastyovens, you dont know how bad i want to shoot you. BMXing isn't a fashion-mongering sport, its a true lifestyle. Society doesn't put BMXing(and its fashion) at a higher rate, we BMXers ride because its a great feeling. I got stitches, and the day i got them out i went out and rode my bikebecause of my love for riding. that was 3 days ago, and ive ridden like 10 hours since then. Yes, some of the famous riders unfortunatly get hit by press and fashion, but they still keep the BMX spirit.

  • i just love this video. it is totally true. i so feel for biking the way this video discribes it.

  • toastyovens is a tool.

    why would you watch a video about something you clearly dont like?

    You clearly dont BMX do you? Do you seriously think people BMX for Months on end ending up riding for the rest of their lives for a fashion trend? get a grip dude. BMX for the win

  • I agree. BMX isnt following trends. Its the complete opposite. Pick up a bike and ride and you might realize it.

  • my bad its at the end

  • Hey does anyone know what this song is

  • staatsbmxer8 has it all right.

    its truly amazing how riding really does change your perspective on life. like the video said, cops and injury often make people want to stop, and i have had some times like that. but i cant live without my bike.

    ive been riding about a year now, and i just couldnt stop even if i tried.

    riding is everything.

    its all i know.

  • DeckerRidesABike is also right. I mean its more than just riding. Its a way of life.

  • What is the guy's name with the red helmet?

  • Apple Valley California is getting a Bike Park!

    KEEP UP THE FIGHT

    Factory Vans Member 1982

  • its amazing how bmx truly changes your perspective and how differently you look at things.

    society truly doesnt understand.

    alot my friends still make fun of me for riding my bike around instead of goin muddin or any of that stuff.

    some of them thinks its cool how i can look at something at school or anywhere and just out loud im like damn i can wallride that and 180 over that ledge. stuff like that.

    when you ride you forget about everything thats going on in life and you are stress free.

  • so true, riding is an escape from reality.

  • BMX is a life style that i and many outher riders live and love because of the friends you get and the tricks u can do and the places bmx can take u also for the Adrenalin rush and the enjoyment you get out of riding your bike. ilove the vid great work

  • its all true i went to the skate park on my redline race bmx bike and basicly did a scrub on a kicker and landed flat on my side and the pedal in my chest. most people say thats too dangerous for a 11 year old to be doing that stuff but i can't stop it's A PASSION!!!!

  • amazing video....i sk8 but 2 many posers r starting 2 show up so i wana start bmxing but the bikes cost so fuckin much! lol......also its like graffiti its an art n its so addicting u dont care what people think.....does any1 know were i can get a good cheap bmx bike?

  • you sound like a poser yourself. If you were a real skater you wouldnt quit because of a few idiots.

    Bmx has its posers too.

  • nah dude its just when i go 2 the sk8 parks n i c the ppl bmxin im like oh shit thats crazy! thats what i was tlkin bout but there r a lot of posers who try sk8in especially the clubheads who buy a deck just 2 look cool

  • This is the best Youtube film. Love it !

  • so sick.

    nice job.

  • this is amazing. i wish i could do that

  • ohh haha thankss

  • fuck u

    For everyone, Ride...

  • Look up (Apple Valley BMX Protest) for more

  • oops i ment to put bmx-er

  • a cop telling a bmx that they cant ride in town is like a cop telling football players that they cant play catch and practice throwing in the local park.

  • this is awesome. makes me wanna ride

  • it's fight song by the appleseed cast it sez it at the end

  • 2:43-2:45 were the coolest part, to me, in that video.
