"LIVE FAST - RIDE FAST - DIE LAST"

 Curious where my childhood BMX enthusiasts would be if they stayed on the bike, or at least transitioned that passion elsewhere. Great outlet / distraction from the perils of drug addiction / cultural abuse. Hate bikes? Cool. Find something you love. A purpose driven life. For if you have no dedicated purpose / direction, society will dictate said trajectory (and that ain't fun)


"All of us will end up here. So, what does that mean? You have a one in ten trillion chance of being alive. That is one of the reasons I am grateful to be alive, do what I do, live each day to the fullest - share new things and learn from you as well - very cool feeling, thank you for that! Walking around a graveyard gives you perspective, but walking around one where people your age or younger are buried, really gives you perspective. We rode through this place daily.

Something it taught me is - when you value life, you don't stay in a position / place you don't wanna be for very long. Most of my audience is between twenty - twenty five years of age - and may think you have all the time in the world. Reality is, I've made painful decisions very early in life. Not just to change things, but to actually do what I love. It can be very difficult. I've been to a ton of funerals and seen a ton of people dying. Often times these people wanted to do more, and often regret not saying yes to certain invitations / trips and things like that.

I'm not making this video for the sake of being dark. I take the chances I do because I am very thankful to be here. I see what happens when you do not take risks - When you do not go outside your comfort zone. Be thankful you're alive. Be thankful for this day. Sincerely - from me to you - Live fast - Ride fast - Die last" -Lucas B.
