the secret to feeling like a kid again.mp4

This isn't really a film about bike-backing, it's about a lesson I had heard a hundred

times before and the people who have finally made it stick.

But funny enough, the most important people in the story weren't actually on the trip.

I used to work at a school and there were these kids who always stood out to me.

They were the kind of people who would give things a go, even if they weren't the greatest at it.

They would take their singing lessons in the school hallway for everyone to hear,

tackle Guinness world records, take a loss at a science competition with a smile,

and made some killer music videos from my film class.

They were fearless. They didn't seem too worried about getting things wrong,

which often meant they got things right in their own way.

When I was their age, I wasn't like that at all.

I spent a lot of time worrying about what people thought and looking stupid and failing.

if I'd been a little bit more confident a few years ago.

I spent a lot of time looking backwards at the person I wish I could have been,

but I already knew what I needed to do. In fact, I always have.

Most of us probably understand that gap more than we'd like to admit.

Sometimes the same lesson can be said 100 different ways before something finally lands.
