There is nothing like watching excellence in motion. I am always inspired by greatness in life, by someone who has mastered his or her craft, by professionals at the top of their game. In this mesmerizing video sent to me by my friend Ed Zentner, beautiful videography, music, scenery, and finely honed athleticism combine in a visual poem. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did, and that it inspires you to reach mastery and balance in your own chosen field.

    This is awesome! My 13-year-old son said, “I’ll bet he has been riding a bike his whole life.” Exactly.

    that is true mastery, but not necessarily something to put on a job resume’. Just as impressive as the guy who can throw a wiffle ball 90 mph.

    How awesome, how awesome, how awesome!
    I can’t help but wonder how many failures he had endured and all along maintaining a positive attitude to keep moving on to achieve the level of excellence needed to perform like this. He didn’t quit and here is the video to prove it.
    It would be very interesting to see what he could do with a trials dirt bike.
    Thank you Ed and Chris for sharing!

    Look at the impact/ripple effect that excellence with a BIKE and a CAMERA has already made: 15 million YouTube views and drawing the attention of one of the worlds top leadership gurus (among who knows what else).
    Think a million people Living Intentionally For Excellence might turn a couple heads?…

    Poetry, dance, beauty, motivation.
    If only I could have a penny for all the scars he got in training:)
    A whole book could be written about his Momentum, Balance and Perspective (i.e.Now I know red phone booths look great with a bike on top, AND it IS ok to bike on the wall of a house). I also like his lesson on obstacles: for some a fence keeps you out, for him it’s just a hurdle. Thanks
