Had a ski crash few years back. Broken spine. They told me I would be lucky to walk with crutches. I was devastated, you know mountain man. Watched this video over and over. Worked my ass off to get my semi-paralyzed leg working and be able to ski again. Year after, it didn't work. Watched this video some more. Kept on going. I am skiing again now. So thank you
@@allcapwilly2353 it's his past time/hobby and he's free to do whatever lol. Life's way too short to be all protective and staying in the "comfort zone"
my dad LOVED this song and every morning before school we would turn on the music channels on the tv and this would always come on. He took his own life 4 years ago today. I miss you😘
One thing that still gets me is when he finally makes it and rides again, his friends let him have his moment, they don't join in straight away, they let him have his moment and are just happy for him❤️
An number of years ago, I had to relearn how to walk, blood clot killed most of the nerves in my left leg. The part that gets me in the video is when he chucks the bike. I was SO PISSED, At the world, at everyone, people close to me would just let me rage a bit. Used to take my car out to a deserted stretch of highway I knew about and see how fast I could get going, half preying to hit a deer at 130 and just have it be over, the anger is the realest bit for me. I did end up walking again, I'm still a little shaky and can't run, but better than I was.
Vid Needs a HD Remaster, still a banger. Lost 2 of my skating friends to s**cide in the last ten years thanks to iraq and i am alchol dependant, but trying to hang on to a normal life without them.
God I love this video. So often men are accused of being cold and not sharing their feelings, but you see plenty of emotion here... the frustration and anger, but the joy and excitement as well... and not just in Kurt, but in his friends and family surrounding him, taking joy in his successes with him... it's just not expressed the same way women express it. that doesn't make it wrong. Men support each other by being there when they are needed, by motivating and inspiring each other to overcome the problems, not by sitting there and wallowing in the problem and emotions until someone else comes along to solve it.
All these years later man... what a great group of friends. I'm sure at times it felt like you were alone (kurt) but this video outlines the outpouring of love and support these guys have for you. Truly a special bond and I'm glad to see you made a full recovery. Rock on brother
Your not wrong mate… I had both legs amputated after a work accident getting electrocuted by 57,000 volts. Today I’m practicing for the biggest desert race in Australia. I ride a wr450f and I’m planning on setting landspeed records on 2 wheels..
This song means so much to me. When I first heard this song I was 23 sectioned into a psychiatric hospital and had no will to live. This was the song that motivated me to get myself home... I’ve never been back in hospital. Thankyou 🙏🏻
It's good to hear you're doing well now, thanks for being end staying strong! This song to me means so much,such a beautiful period of my life when this song came out! 😊💗
4:10 Kurt is finally back on his bike - camera cuts to the birds flying free and then back to Kurt giving a big fat smile to the camera. Man that part always gets me!!! Best music video ever, at least the most powerful indeed!
You all are amazing! Thanks so much for the wonderful comments, kind words and for sending me messages on twitter and the Facebook fan page. You're kind words are amazing!!! Come by the pages to say "hi". Ask everyone there, I reply personally. Also, will be releasing a UK tour video series on my youtube channel so subscribe to see them come out, hope you like. Much Love.
You're very much welcome! This song and your story inspires a lot of people so as me. I may not have the best life for the moment but as this song keeps on playing in my head for days now .... I certainly know something good is coming along the way if moving forward is what we opt to choose. xo
LOL Kurt Yaeger you are the amazing ! STRONG MAN keep up the good work you really touched my heart plus you Inspire alot of people specially me im your biggest fan :))) Regards
Wow Amazing truly touching great will power and drive Truly inspiring! ,,, thanks to NCIS and Pauley Perrette i got to see this God bless and keep on keeping on
This song means so much to me .when this song was out .I was in trouble I broke my neck and lost one half of my body .basically I took my head off my shoulders. Rhis song bought me back .and give me the strength to win back my life .God bless these lot I getting there now And this song will be played at my funeral. ❤❤❤❤ Ghana you
Without a doubt, this is the best music video I've ever seen.. The dedication and motivation is un-unparalleled. If you're not moved by this you have no soul...
I just love how they were with him thru every single thing. The whole process of getting a prosthetic leg. Doing physical therapy and everything. It just amazing to see.
We never appreciate what we have until its gone. Focus on what you have not what you don't, stop comparing yourself to others, stop chasing immediate gratification through spending, stop numbing feelings with substances and escapism. Remind people how much they mean to you, not in words but in action. Listen to them, and most importantly, listen to yourself. 10 years later, this is still a banger because it meant something to those who created it and to those who listen to its message.
EVERY time I watch this video I cry my eyes out - never has a music video made me fill up with some many different emotions like this one. From the music to Ella’s voice to the story and heartbreak it really is a masterpiece ❤️
No one can ever stop the Human Spirit, as long as there is TRUE LOVE! The Good News, is True Love Never Ends! Do you know HIM? HIS Name is Jesus Christ! But you do not have to believe me. I see HIM everywhere in this video! Shown through the love of people, you shall see HIM. ROCK The Knife world Trollskyy! Peace!
The moment he jumps on the bike is like he regains his freedom and spread wings to fly further. Amazing how well it goes with the music. Unbelievable story, very inspirational.
That guy has real friends, not some kind of assholes who forget you when you have something serious like very bad injury, these guys are real friends, never left him alone... RESPECT!
Levi DRAGON V. it a true story i watched interview with him and he showed his leg, it true he puts a magnetic metal at the bottom of his foot so his foot would stay on a pedal on a bike.
Kurt's injuries from this accident were beyond horrific. We only see here how his left leg had to be amputated at the knee, but the other injuries he suffered actually went FAR beyond that. His right anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament were torn, both his pelvis and his bladder were literally torn in half, seven of his vertebra were broken along with multiple ribs, both of his lungs collapsed, and he suffered a severe concussion. Remarkably, one year later, Kurt made a full recovery. No matter how bleak a situation might be, never EVER lose hope, miracles can and do happen every day. Kurt is proof of that.
@@Mike__hock Try not to be stu### and use google or something else. His name is Kurt Yaeger and this is the true story of how he has been injured: "Back in 2006, BMX rider Kurt Yaeger was exiting a freeway on his motorcycle when a car two lanes over blindly swerved to exit at the last minute. Yaeger was forced into the guard rail and hit a light pole, while the car drove on"
i first heard this song when i was 12 and at gymnastics practice it was only 3 weeks before i lost my leg due to a post op infection, i was shown the video a few days after my leg was amputated and i just felt like maybe gymnastics wasn’t over for me, it took a lot of hard work but i would watch this video nearly everyday to motivate me to keep going, i’m 17 now and have been doing competitive gymnastics for 3 years since my amputation and tbh i don’t know if would have been at this point without watching this video
I'm currently going through some life changing shitty shit, and I get so inspired by this video and song to get off my ass and be something. I listen and watch regularly, thank you so very much.
Couldn’t agree more. It’s like they live life, and we just watch it with music. It’s hard to explain, but it’s like having background music in your life.
If I ever have a bad time, and see this video and music, they ERASE it for me like nothing else. It's a short story for the viewers, but a journey for them (not just Kurt, please mind it), and it carries so much emotion and hope, damn. Every time I'm back to this story, I feel like I end up recharged for weeks.
Thanks for enjoying the video. So many wonderful comments. And thanks for following me on Instagram Twitter and Facebook. I really enjoy answering your questions and interacting.
Had a friend down on his luck with a personal issues he was gong through so i sent him the link to watch....since then...his become a new person with an incredible positive outlook on life. Thank You Sir.
His friends and the support throughout every single step of his recovery is astonishing, I think he wouldn't have fully recovered if he was alone with the process. The power of community, the united we stand is everything in this life.
does the same to me, oh well you must fight through hard times and I think music like this helps alot,MUSIC CAN BE REALLY POWERFUL.have a good day/night sir.
Timeless...this song will still hit home after 20 more years... im south african and ive been exposed to a lot of house/dance music , but this is one of those songs that just hits the soul... 2024 we still here
I just got so pumped seeing that guy back on his bike! I was literally cheering and pumping my fists. I did the same ridiculously stupid thing when I was younger street riding with friends (riding arrogantly straight into the road). I got hit and the axle nut ripped a whole in my leg but I didn't lose it. This guys story makes me see how lucky I was. So happy to see him get back on his bike.
+Sean Campbell Yeah it was necessary. I was giving a piece of my mind to that patronising twink, Wiseman. 'You have to deserve good friends' - give me a break.
The video always blew my mind, a guy who lived for BMX tricks, disabled by a horrible accident and able to get back to doing what he loves and lives for. The drum and bass music adds to the fact that such a hard feat became possible with maximum effort and a bit more, and he had such a long way to go.
I want to go back for a moment to my 12 y.o life experience and enjoy the vibe everything’s had back in 2013. It’s been 11 years wow. What a lovely era we had.
This song brings up so many memories to me personally. I miss like hell those summers where we would drink beers, ride bikes, have fun, being "kids". Now I'm engaged my best friend is almost engaged. Everyone in our group is trying to figure out his path in life. Enjoy every moment with your buddies. You really don't know when would be the last time you guys see each other as a group. I miss like hell those good ol days. Money wouldn't be a problem but time is now. The freedom that comes with a bike and steep downhill, an open road or trail or a skater park is surreal. You'll never know that the true happiness was present in these moments. Take care of you guys.
this comment is one of the best... man I still remember great moments that me n my friends had when we were young... playing cricket, riding bicycles, enjoying board games... now, 2 of my best friends moved out of our apartment, and none of us meet each other like we used to back then cuz we all have a lot on our hands now.
I'm 50 next week, broke more bones than I can remember since riding a mogoose supergoose in the 80s then Hoffman bikes in the 90s to a £100 mogoose brawler now (just for beer runs) keep riding crew BMX RULES.
Amazing, everything in this video is real footage, not sure about the beginning though but it's all real, all the emotion you see, through to overcoming the challenge to get back on the bike, Kurt Yeager (The amputee) has commented here a couple of times before even thanking the people commenting here congratulating his success on overcoming his disability, but no more is it a disability. It's unfortunate it happened but it's a great influence for people to never give up, as the army say in the U.K. Adapt, Improvise and Overcome and you will achieve anything.
Yeah. It's really great to see how he overcome his despair, how he overcome his handicap, how he fall over again and again and still stands up just so he can be together with his fellas and his bike!
i'm still excited about this vibe ... such unbelievably great people who stand behind him, they are really true friends. that is so valuable. the video is terrible and wonderful at the same time, this community is just amazing. without this support it would probably not have been possible ... true friends are so precious!..just magic 🥰
@@Samaran-tv damn bro u are a real man I respect you life is something u have to experience with a true fixed mind-set life has more of a meaning to it than life its precious its home.
Kurt Yaeger Hey, I just wanted to say a massive thanks to you and Rudimental for the song/video and the story behind it. I've been fighting stage 4 cancer in my brain for the last 2 years and this has inspired me to keep fighting through the operations and treatments, despite being told I'll be dead in weeks all the way through they now think they've cured me. Much love John #NeverGiveUp
Wow, John! What a great comment. Thank you for making my day, so glad this video helped you find the strength that was always inside of you! Keep up the good fight.
Great to know you got the message Kurt, What I didn't say was that the cancer paralyzed my left arm and leg and I've also spent a long time building them back up so to some extent I know your struggle. I'm walking now but still working on my arm n hand. Thanks for taking the time to reply :)
This song gives me a comforting feeling of nostalgia. This was in the time that songs had meaning and clips told a story happy to have an amazin childhood without phones and social media and great songs🫶
This is without a doubt one of the most influential songs I've ever heard in my life. This song will always have a special place in my heart! Big thanks to all involved! Respect!
First time hearing this song made me so emotional.. then I saw the clip ... and then I lost it 😢What power of will can do is priceless gift and cherished skill !
This is one of the few cases where you can safely say .. THEY made it! Unbreakable will and unshakable friendship triumph. Also, whoever edited the video at from 4:08 going straight to the birds flying was genius!!
You would need to earn them by being at least as good friend as the guy that this story is about is with them. No one will care about you or me if we don't give them something back.
@@matejpesl1 That's true but sometimes friends just aren't your friends no matter what you do or give back. Many times they're just people who use you.
@@dhaloh There of course are situations, where people are not with you because of you (= your character), but just because of the value that you're giving them. They're treating you as a tool basically. It's disguisting, but it can be identified, because if they do use you only as a source of some value, they won't give you any value back. At least not intentionally - why would they waste their resources creating a value for a tool they're using to gain value. That would be counterproductive. It's terrible, especially when the human being used is emotionally attached to the human that uses him. I hate injustice and it almost makes me cry. But that's life, and it will always be like this. That's why we must be able to identify those and many more similar situations as quick as possible, and terminate them. We must be able to fucking fight. If you're not, then you'll have it fucking hard.
Something special about the BMX/Skateboard/Blading community. Inspiring. This video brought a tear to my eye in 2013 when i watched it for the first time and its emotional now.
That doesn't need much... Shit I took this morning had more meaning. That said very inspirational music video and I'm happy he was able to overcome something like this to a point at least.
this video is incredible. Thanks for it. I am father of 3 children and I always want to teach that it is worth fighting even if you have handicaps. Especially how important friends and family are.this video brings me to think again and tears in my eyes.sorry for this English but I'm from German.

Lol..Make a pose click! Thanks lol
Had a friend down on his luck with a personal issues he was gong through so i sent him the link to watch....since then...his become a new person with an incredible positive outlook on life. Thank You Sir.
Brave bloke,good luck.Great video, brilliant tune.😂
Awesome friendship and bravery story! The best of luck for you brother!
His friends and the support throughout every single step of his recovery is astonishing, I think he wouldn't have fully recovered if he was alone with the process. The power of community, the united we stand is everything in this life.
Exactly -- community and unity make individuals stronger and more resilient. :)
The power of community
Means so much to me this tune ,Gives me goose bumps .I beat Cancer with this beat and fight in my heart .Never give up .
Dark Lord Good stuff!!
Never give up! Happy for u 💪❤️

I'm a amputee and your so right 😉
No you didn't

This song makes me feel like I'm on top after falling to bottom.
does the same to me, oh well you must fight through hard times and I think music like this helps alot,MUSIC CAN BE REALLY POWERFUL.have a good day/night sir.
+Jacob Lot I agree^^ life has a rythm and you just have to find the similar rythm to yourself^^ *I'm still searchin'*
+Cesar Forero When you hit a rock bottom, it's a solid foundation!
good songs
Such a powerful clip, respect for him and his buddy's!
You don't realise how lucky you are until the moment something has gone
Shannon Puckett Damn wish I could go back to these times
Timeless...this song will still hit home after 20 more years... im south african and ive been exposed to a lot of house/dance music , but this is one of those songs that just hits the soul... 2024 we still here
I just got so pumped seeing that guy back on his bike! I was literally cheering and pumping my fists. I did the same ridiculously stupid thing when I was younger street riding with friends (riding arrogantly straight into the road). I got hit and the axle nut ripped a whole in my leg but I didn't lose it. This guys story makes me see how lucky I was. So happy to see him get back on his bike.
:)
It is inspirational
Liar
My life just got better watching this phenomenal inspirational music video.
I wish I had such good friends in my life!! they stood by him through the whole process. Simply beautiful!!
Manuela Hinojosa Lopera You have to deserve good friends ;)
+wiseman_4u I doubt you deserve any friends whatsoever.
Ar Ko necessary?
+Sean Campbell Yeah it was necessary. I was giving a piece of my mind to that patronising twink, Wiseman. 'You have to deserve good friends' - give me a break.
Manuela Hinojosa Lopera go to church
2024 WE STILL HERE ❤
The video always blew my mind, a guy who lived for BMX tricks, disabled by a horrible accident and able to get back to doing what he loves and lives for. The drum and bass music adds to the fact that such a hard feat became possible with maximum effort and a bit more, and he had such a long way to go.
Love this song, but the video... wow, so inspirational.
actually, it's more depressing for me, because I just realised, I have no one in my life who would do this to me :(
look t me for views....
@@adoskacz7281 I do
Hey man ill be your friend names sasha Whats yours
One of the most powerful videos I had ever seen...
I come back to this video when I feel down to lift me up ❤
What an inspirational man and what an awesome friends!
thanks Anan
Kurt Yaeger OMG Kurt you don't have idea how much I admire you and the strong person you're . This means a world to me. (my name's Andrea)
2021 PEOPLE. Whoever reads this, HAPPY NEW YEAR
Thanks
Thank you mate have the best year possible
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!!!
Happy new year
anyone else think 2013 was an amazing year for music
yes :DD but 2012 was amazing too ;)
Because of Gangnam Style ofcourse xD
I think 2011 was the best
Definitely 2011!
Hannah India / 2011 for born this way
I want to go back for a moment to my 12 y.o life experience and enjoy the vibe everything’s had back in 2013. It’s been 11 years wow. What a lovely era we had.
This song brings up so many memories to me personally. I miss like hell those summers where we would drink beers, ride bikes, have fun, being "kids". Now I'm engaged my best friend is almost engaged. Everyone in our group is trying to figure out his path in life. Enjoy every moment with your buddies. You really don't know when would be the last time you guys see each other as a group. I miss like hell those good ol days. Money wouldn't be a problem but time is now. The freedom that comes with a bike and steep downhill, an open road or trail or a skater park is surreal. You'll never know that the true happiness was present in these moments. Take care of you guys.
Best comment I’ve seen so far. Take care mate
Român :))
Never dwell on the things you done dwell on things to come best of luck mate stay safe much love ❤️
this comment is one of the best... man I still remember great moments that me n my friends had when we were young... playing cricket, riding bicycles, enjoying board games... now, 2 of my best friends moved out of our apartment, and none of us meet each other like we used to back then cuz we all have a lot on our hands now.
I'm 50 next week, broke more bones than I can remember since riding a mogoose supergoose in the 80s then Hoffman bikes in the 90s to a £100 mogoose brawler now (just for beer runs) keep riding crew BMX RULES.
Amazing, everything in this video is real footage, not sure about the beginning though but it's all real, all the emotion you see, through to overcoming the challenge to get back on the bike, Kurt Yeager (The amputee) has commented here a couple of times before even thanking the people commenting here congratulating his success on overcoming his disability, but no more is it a disability. It's unfortunate it happened but it's a great influence for people to never give up, as the army say in the U.K. Adapt, Improvise and Overcome and you will achieve anything.
Yeah. It's really great to see how he overcome his despair, how he overcome his handicap, how he fall over again and again and still stands up just so he can be together with his fellas and his bike!
This dus echt gebeurd?
Nancy♥ Yes!
Haha cool!
En zielig...
Najbardziej uczuciowa piosenka jaką kiedykolwiek słyszałam
***** Dokładnie trzeba mieć silnom wole w w takich sytuacjach szacun dla Kurta Yaegera
teledysk, który podnosi człowieka w trudnych chwilach....musimy walczyć i nie poddawać się naszym słabością
a to jest prawdziwa historia?
Ło Zo Tak... Przecież w teledysku widać, że nie ma nogi :(
Ło Zo Nie, ujebali mu nogę specjalnie do teledysku...
Anyone still listening in August 2024 ??
Sure bro , its my favorite
Siempre 💪🏻
Is not August yet but I love always❤
11/08/2024 🙃
...
i'm still excited about this vibe ... such unbelievably great people who stand behind him, they are really true friends. that is so valuable. the video is terrible and wonderful at the same time, this community is just amazing. without this support it would probably not have been possible ... true friends are so precious!..just magic 🥰
Truly eye opening! Find your real friends lose the rest!
it's just wonderful the guy a leg but he continues his passion: ') this video is beautiful and the song rocked BRAVO!
How can a fast paced song evoke such deep emotions.
Can't believe it's been almost 10 years since this song came out. It's still as fresh as ever, loving the groove and Ella's outstanding voice!
Is it weird that I cried? lol!
No
not wierd
LOL
Yeap

This story. This song. Just amazing.
Yes it is. So inspiring
I am a man, 36 years old and tears are flowing by themselves

Why as humans do we make fond memories with a strong desire to relive them?
@@no-vo3hb it’s strong now, because the 80s 90s 00s were so much better times to live. 🤯🤯😎
I found this by accident, probably one of the best accidents I ever made.
indeed
You are my accident, now accept me as your father.
Snel Gemaakt beats your kids too eh?

velocity_ gaming OMG NO HE DIDNT
Kurt Yaeger
Hey, I just wanted to say a massive thanks to you and Rudimental for the song/video and the story behind it. I've been fighting stage 4 cancer in my brain for the last 2 years and this has inspired me to keep fighting through the operations and treatments, despite being told I'll be dead in weeks all the way through they now think they've cured me. Much love
John
#NeverGiveUp
Wow, John! What a great comment. Thank you for making my day, so glad this video helped you find the strength that was always inside of you! Keep up the good fight.
Great to know you got the message Kurt, What I didn't say was that the cancer paralyzed my left arm and leg and I've also spent a long time building them back up so to some extent I know your struggle. I'm walking now but still working on my arm n hand. Thanks for taking the time to reply :)
T Macca Doesn't look good. Hope he good whevever he is..
I wish I had friends like this..
I have friends like this and you Will find them too
i love this song but i love the video even more, propper story
+Sgt Hartman same
*****
+Sgt Hartman Yeah the vid is quite sad but also inspiring
jack jackson 😂😂😂👏👏
+Sgt Hartman bmx family! proud to be member of that family..
All them men who stayed by you are beyond angels all deserve medals
This song gives me a comforting feeling of nostalgia. This was in the time that songs had meaning and clips told a story happy to have an amazin childhood without phones and social media and great songs🫶
I get the shivers every time he drops in at 4:05
Such a moment!
It took a lot.
I agree, an epic moment accompanied by the perfect tune together really drives home the message. Good on you Kurt.
Very powerful, I actually cried.... You are blessed with great friends.. Very inspirational video... Thank you
Hands down one of the best things on the web
Omg this Song is exactly 11 years old today
I can't watch this without crying and then smiling so hard.
are you cutting onions the same like me ?
This is so motivational. .amazing song and a fantastic video...and if you have such freinds by your side,you can come out of anything
arvinder arora friends
arvinder arora I love you
arvinder arora hi dear.. pls have a look of my channel. Subscribe if u like. Have a gr8 day.. happy new year in advance
.
and with a book by your side you can spell anything properly!
There is nothing motivational about this , i only see stupidity .
This is without a doubt one of the most influential songs I've ever heard in my life. This song will always have a special place in my heart! Big thanks to all involved! Respect!
First time hearing this song made me so emotional.. then I saw the clip ... and then I lost it 😢What power of will can do is priceless gift and cherished skill !
Song was out when I was 8
This video saved my day
Biggest ups to the cinematographer
Avinci
Do you even know what a cinematographer is you fucking idiot
@Dylan Adams - Do you?! :D
@@dylanadams8254 do you even know who your father is you scrote?
Yeah it's your mom, Brian roweley
He has real friends even though they cant have fun with him for a moment they still stick with him and chear him up!
So true this song is so insperiantional
This video shows that real friends Dont let you go even if u lost a leg this video insperates me
Immune Devotee This comment makes me want to throw a dictionary at you.
Toby Nayland do it im not that good at english ;)
Toby Nayland he only spelt 1 word wrong leave him alone!!!
This is one of the few cases where you can safely say .. THEY made it! Unbreakable will and unshakable friendship triumph. Also, whoever edited the video at from 4:08 going straight to the birds flying was genius!!
Honestly I wish that I had a group of mates that would do the same, hes so so lucky all of his mates are so close🤘🏼 brothers for life
Hell yeah
You would need to earn them by being at least as good friend as the guy that this story is about is with them. No one will care about you or me if we don't give them something back.
@@matejpesl1 That's true but sometimes friends just aren't your friends no matter what you do or give back. Many times they're just people who use you.
@@dhaloh There of course are situations, where people are not with you because of you (= your character), but just because of the value that you're giving them. They're treating you as a tool basically. It's disguisting, but it can be identified, because if they do use you only as a source of some value, they won't give you any value back. At least not intentionally - why would they waste their resources creating a value for a tool they're using to gain value. That would be counterproductive.
It's terrible, especially when the human being used is emotionally attached to the human that uses him. I hate injustice and it almost makes me cry. But that's life, and it will always be like this. That's why we must be able to identify those and many more similar situations as quick as possible, and terminate them. We must be able to fucking fight. If you're not, then you'll have it fucking hard.
༺༆•༽YUNG ༼•༆༻ X start bmx skating whatever x sport and you will instantly have this friendship
I love how this video is so pure and it goes to show you don't need money to be happy. Just good buds and doing what you love.

It's so inspiring to see people get back up again
Something special about the BMX/Skateboard/Blading community. Inspiring. This video brought a tear to my eye in 2013 when i watched it for the first time and its emotional now.
I just got goosebumps all over my body
