Making the Bands

[joosewv]

My Livestrong band that I wore for years pretty much non-stop just snapped today.. I'd sort of gotten a bit tired of it, but now being without it just doesn't feel right. I liked wearing something that supported a great organization, and telling curious people it's purpose always made my day. Sadly I don't know if there's anywhere I can buy another one in Finland, but if I find one while abroad I think I'll have to buy it. My best wishes to Lance and all cancer patients of the world.

I TOOK MINE OFF AND BURNT IT

Yellow was chosen for its importance in professional cycling, as it is the color of the yellow jersey worn by the leader of the Tour de France, which Armstrong won seven consecutive times.

[Xvanga13]

why yellow?

[Dcy162]

im wereing mine right now

[yonpolite]

I am sure that is exactly the same way the Chinese people made my BAND!!!

[sophie16selena]

Where can I get one ?

[LLschoolJ2]

[theCHRISandDYLANshow]

[96jjs]

@Chiliwacko accpet he doesnt take epo :L

[ashthepash98]

Bought 2 of them today! And i plan on buying more! :D I support Armstrong!! X33

[davidwill6]

people are saying that they hate people who wore bands because they were trendy, not a cyclist or a supporter, but does it matter, the fact is money is going to cancer fighting and support, who cares who the money comes from

[4utomishere]

Gerson Therapy has been “curing” cancer and many other incurables for 80 years and have the proof. Most of them were terminal and given up for dead by the medical establishment.

thehealthy homestead com/ gersontherapy

Some Japanese’s Hospitals are doing the Gerson Therapy with many great results.

Bod Beck protocol has proof of “curing” cancer and many other incurables in as fast as 3 weeks. With no drugs at all. It is simple and it really works like they say it does.

[cuzMTVsaidso]

yellow...did your mom

[centralbaseball34]

Who cares if they wore it just cause every one else did ther supporting it even if they dont know it everyband sold gets profit

[baneat]

@centralbaseball34 Deontologists

[PHIL9332]

i hate ppl who wore these just because everyone else did...

[ChrisMoodie91]

@PHIL9332 wtf? Get off your peddy highschool shit, the band symbolizes fighting cancer. It is above a brand name of clothing, grow up?

[2010fcbayernfreak]

habs gerade um aber meins geht schon kaputt

weiss jemand wo man die noch kriegt ???

ich bin ein grosser lance armstrong fan

[seanjr19]

back in the day they were tha shit..lol not no more tho

[JordanDW32]

@seanjr19 they r coming back in style in my school

[Meadej24]

I wear yellow, those are the coolest band ever!!!!!!

[SvalbardJanMayen1976]

Yellow is MADE IN CHINA. Come on Lance, at least make them in the US, not from the Lucky Flying Pigeon Poison Baby Food Chemical Weapons Factory.

[dkr56]

@SvalbardJanMayen1976 they would be made in china because it would be so much cheaper. If they were made in a western country you might only make 50p profit on each band for example. Making them in china you probly get close to 90p if not more. More money towards cancer research etc. So do you still want them to be made in the US?

[FreddyFredstar]

I've great respect for your benefits but if you have abused funds of this foundation for doping I hope that you'll go to jail for some time.

By the way it is prooven that you doped and that should be not my problem. But please stop sayin that you never was doped. That's ridiculous and will some day come back on you like an boomerang!

[Xepher85O]

@FreddyFredstar I bet your favorite sport is accusing people of wrongdoing because you wish you could be a millionth as good as them

[FreddyFredstar]

@Xepher85O

No, my sport is cycling! What is yours? Talking Bullshit?

[Xepher85O]

@FreddyFredstar Nope! Mine's cycling too! And your comment is very hypocritical, seeing as Lance did nothing to you and is merely leading the fight against cancer. You seem to be the one talking bullshit.

[FreddyFredstar]

@Xepher85O

Lance is nothing doing to me?

He is one of the - allowedly lots of them do it - guys who have as antetypes (what they indeed are) a bad influence on our children.

What do you say to all the young people who have the same passion and think about becoming proffessionals.

Do you say: Oh, I'm afraid, you are good enough but you have to take this and this and this...

What do parents which are scared to send their children to a cycling club?

The problem is much bigger than you want to see!

[delidanks]

I wear mine every day, I never take it off, I make sure I have backups to make sure if one breaks, I will never take it off.

[cokiesQ8]

[dahgutone]

I bought a few like last Christmas.

The sell them at radioshack now. Since Lance's new team is sponsored by Radioshack.

[JonoHopkins]

Am I right in thinking that this ad is playing on the claims of lance dopeing?

[chrisbear08]

i got mine a few years ago.. its getting tight around my wrist... i will never take it off... until it.... and i... break.

[SurfAllOfSd]

I have been wearing one for 5 years! Go lance go! I love you man!

[cycleman88]

I wear mine everyday, and love the video, and I am a HUGE supporter, but inside the wristband, it says made in china..... that should be changed!

[Scicotion]

It sucks that mines broke I feel naked and unconfident without it.

[RuNiTzAReDHeaD]

I've been wearing mine for a long time now and will always wear it.

[iam2x2]

finishline sells em for like 5 dollars or someting its cheap finishline!

[Parknutzz]

[08BurtonT6rider]

[muslimmen100]

[LegoLee2]

i bought 1 a few years or so ago and it broke. im trying to find a new 1 but i cant anywhere. can any1 help me by telling me where they are sold please :)

[SophistAtheist]

have u ever asked yourself what the internet is for ?. Anywayz you can order them from ebay, they cost 4 dollars with FREE SHIPPING, or you can go to your closest DICK'S store and get them for 1 dollar I believe ?.

[cycleman88]

or now you can get these at radio shack!

[bkermike]

i bought a band the other day! it will be worn with pride everywhere, even to afganistan when i go on duty :)

[bkermike]

sorry to the people who watch this video and support lance, its not faire u see people argueing on this comment section, after all lance is above all of that.

viva le LANCE/TOUR/FRANCE

[badgerhockey99]

@bkermike true dat

[racecream]

LOL you believe that's how they are made?

They are made in Chinese injection molding facilities millions at a time.

[bkermike]

and no, i do not think the bands r made as dippicted in this video, i simply said it for the sake of it cus am a happy little soul not on youtube trying to bite everyones head off like a sad fuck.

u can chat shil all u want patgoral.

but didn't i say an electronic shop would be sponsoring him - quoting lance. he said in an interiew it would be an electronic workshop firm, he didn't say what.

now i know the exact name. 'Radio shack' oh i am sorry u little shit, i didn't say 'radio shack'

[SophistAtheist]

true dat

[13pau13]

grande albertooooooooo!!!!!!

[bkermike]

i like the way there made to.. everything to do with lance is awsome.

i hope when he's back in 2010 he wins the tour.

His team will be in the LArmstrong Foundation colours, with Nike and electronic factory sponsoring him. Him as manager. In 2010 we will see one of the best tours since the LArmstrong 7wins.

[patgoral]

ARE YOU RETARDED? He is coming back racing for Team Radio Shack with Johan Brunyeel as the manager. And like racecream said, this is just a commercial! The bands are made in factories in china millions upon millions per second. I love lance, but Mike you are really dumb.

[bkermike]

pat, ur fat

[bkermike]

i could run rings around both of u fucks insulting my intelligence. as a comm sys eng in the british armed forces my brain is more attuned that urs.

go back to sucking cock for money.

bitches.

[patgoral]

Haha me fat? I could ride you into the ground mike!

[bkermike]

dude, i could hill climb so fast i'd take a shlt at the top and still finish the race b4 you.

[JustStareOK]

Fuk all Armstrong haters..

[agfootball18]

LIVESTRONG!!!

[Thatdudeinthecornerq]

This guy excuse me this MAN deserves Fame he started a revolution in helping people get through Cancer I KNOW! I went through some Chemo-therapy and junk like that it sucked and everyday when I would wake up from sleeping on my right side I would see my LIVESTRONG band and I'd giggle and say heheh YEA! I WILL! so shut up! everyone down there

[JasonWhirlybird]

seriously, if you want to question god's existance, do it on another vid. Lance is trying to help cure cancer, not bitch about wether or not he deserves it.

[satsumafan]

i thought this video was about raising money for the lance armstrong foundation?

[AndrewGozzy]

God only gives cancer to people that deserve it. These bands question God and are sacrilegious.

[Csebby]

You are a f*cking retard.

[sergeperson]

youre completely fucking retarded. even if this is sarcastic, its completely fucking retarded.

[edwardalexklose]

no such thing as god you twat.

it's all in your head.

[Skater4Life748]

So some murderers and drug dealers never get cancer and yet my dad. A good man who's worked his entire life for what he has now and has supported his country through military service overseas in foreign countries has deserved 3 bouts of cancer. If god gives cancer to the people he believes deserve it, he's pretty fucked in the head.

[aaronz101]

My aunt, a woman who has worked tirelessly for 25 years delivering medicines and food to the less fortunate in Africa and Burma, was diagnosed with breast cancer last year.

Now my cousin -- her daughter, has it too, and she's only 12 years old.

What kind of 'god' thinks these kinds of people deserve cancer? And children?

What the hell is wrong with you, you delusional cockbite?

Fuck you, and your fake deity.

[AndrewGozzy]

I might be a little more insulted if I wasn't an atheist, nice try though.

Oh yeah, and enjoy your dead nigger loving aunt.

[aaronz101]

I'm an atheist myself, and you've now proven that you're just a lifeless troll because you're spouting your bullshit simply to annoy people, according to your retarded self-contradiction.

Also, my aunt overcame her cancer, and my cousin is undergoing treatment that looks hopeful as the cancer was detected early on.

Enjoy your life, mate, maybe someday your parents will overlook your cuntfaggotry and take you back home fer' sum' good ol' banjos and rape, you inbred hick fuck.

[AndrewGozzy]

I like how you call me lifeless because I spent 15 minutes of my time annoying you. Projecting much?

Also, I'm not sure where you get the idea that not believing in God is any more intelligent than believing in God. Both views require faith since there is not proof either way. Get off your pedestal and realize that our views aren't founded any better than theirs are.

P.S. Enjoy your unoriginal chan humor founded on nothing.

[aaronz101]

Lick my balls, troll. Your lack of anything interesting to say bores me.

[ThewKids]

go fuck urself and all of ur fucking thoughts cause u dont know what the half of it

[aaronz101]

Bite me.

[aaronz101]

Oh, and I never made the implication that I had a religious superiority complex, so I don't know where the heck you're getting that from.

Hell, I'm more of an agnostic than an atheist.

[AndrewGozzy]

I'm getting it from when you said:

"Fuck you, and your fake deity."

[aaronz101]

It appears that there's been a misunderstanding.

[djsfilms1]

fuck guys this is youtube not dr. phil or jerry springer.

[chickenfriedZBB]

Livestrong bracelets were actually the first silicon/rubber bracelets that came out

[tikioftokyogdeortu]

where can you get them other than online?

[Ggormley234]

Not sure if you have them around where you live, but Dick's Sporting Goods has them, if that helps.

[SuspendedSwish]

I remember back in 2004, when these bands just came out. I even had several at that time, but I unfortunately lost them all.

Where can you find them besides the online store?

[dahgutone]

Well. They used to give them out for free at footlocker when you purchase any pair of shoes. and the portion of the money goes to the Lance Armstrong Foundation. But they do not selling them in stares that much anymore.

You might be able to find some at Dick's Sporting Goods because they are a official Livestrong seller.

It really isn't about the band, I see it as the donation part. But the bands are cool too =)

[SuspendedSwish]

Oh, they really gave them out for free when you purchased any pair of shoes at Foot Locker?

[dahgutone]

Yeah. They don't do it any more. Foot Locker really brought the bands out into the spot light.

[dahgutone]

And also, I believe the commercial has been released long before 2004. Lance Armstrong was diagnosed on on 1996 and right after he was treated, he developed the foundation. So this commercial came out around the very late 1990s.

[heypeeps106]

u can find them at dick's sporting goods

[bubbleboy97]

i think they dont sell them in stores anymore, so the online store or amazon, ebay ect.

[dahgutone]

They should bring this commercial back. It was truly inspiring.

[1stPlaceDirector]

It would be good if the bands were really made in the USA, rather than China. I support more things being done with US labor, even if the cost is higher. Is it just me, or does anyone else feel that the bands are not really made one-by-one like in the video by Americans.

[shmana]

i feel the same way man, for every product, it has a different feeling when u know it was made in ur own country

[ZQPYU]

The Livestrong movement is a global campaign, so I would say making them in China would be acceptable and the movement really does need to be a "all united" front. But...

Making US military stickers/rugs/hats/jackets/ect­. in ANY other country than the United States of America and then selling them in Wal-Mart is depressing and demoralizing.

[ctm9851]

I have to agree with both other commenters. While LiveSTRONG is a global effort, it is based here in the US.

[knightstalkers159]

Were do you get the molds to make those

i would appreciate it if u could reply thanks

o and i just bought 10 of your wristbands today go yellow

[knightstalkers159]

Well thanks for replying

Uh plzz reply

[SuperPerson32]

I can't find my LS wristband but i had a red one. Its SADD students against distructive driving. But we need to get these back into fasion!

[cyclingalot]
