Boy Delivers Motivational Speech After Learning to Ride His Bike
Filed under: Amazing Kids, Funny Stuff
We adore this little boy, who gives hope to any kid who has ever failed at riding a bike with an inspirational speech to rival the best rhetoric out there. A recently accomplished rider himself, he reminds his peers with training wheels to believe in themselves and to keep practicing.
We can't wait to buy a T-shirt that reads, "Thumbs up to rock and roll!"

kyleb said...So what???? Scripted or not, he still got his message across. No wonder you and your kids are not smart enough to get in out of the rain. You are not a motivator. No inspiration to them. JUST NEGATIVE!!!! Kids probably hate to come home. NEGATIVE, NEGATIVE, NEGATIVE!!!!

Marissa Stephens said...It's nice to see the go-get-'em attitude and persistence, but this is a spoiled little kid who is learning to live in the center of attention. Sounds like dad is just egging him on too. Good job on learning the bike skills kid, but tone down that the all about me attitude. Play some games on the rainy days from HTtp://bit.ly/FreebieHomepage and ride safely.

ahnree said...Your idiots obviously don't have kids. Can't you actually believe that kids are smart and do amazing things. Losers

hiram b merkle III said...I emphatically(!!) agree with ahnree!! The first couple posters either don't have kids, or they are just TOTAL, COMPLETE jerks!! Maybe both!! What's wrong with the kid being excited about learning to ride his bike and then showing some enthusiasm. What creeps!!

Emma said...I buy almost everything except food and clothing from online auctions.Most people aren't aware of the almost unbelievable deals that they can get from online auction sites.
The site that has the best deals is hTtp://bit.ly/savedbig and I checked with the Better Business Bureau and was told that it is all legit.
How they can sell gift cards, laptops, cameras, and all kinds of goodies that we all want for 50-90% off, I don't know. I do know that I bought my son an iPad there for less than $100 and my husband a $250 Loews gift cards for $48. Why would I even think about shopping anyplace else?

Sandy said...Yuck! Scripted? Yes. Why the father would want his son to come across like a little phony politician? No clue! Even scripted things can be cute or funny. This was neither!

Shocked said...I have a kid and too many nieces and nephews to count. This is so not adorable or cute or funny. I did find myself wondering why the dad asked if he had any "words of wisdom". Really? The kid just learned how to ride a bike. You're asking for something he doesn't have...encouraging him to pretend like he does...and sharing it with the world like it's something great. It wasn't. I think I would have enjoyed actually seeing him ride the bike more.

Friez said...Your right i dont have kids. Also i never said anything negative. I just feel that the routine was a bit scripted. Of course that is my opinion and last i checked those are ok to, but i guess that could make me an "idiot" or a "jerk". My self esteem is just about crushed.

Still scripted

PONDERINGPEACEMAKER said...Just because you didn't have a dad who was there for you or loved you doesn't give you the right to say this quality time was fake (scripted)
