0:49
to make this story come to life some of
0:51
you guys may know that uriah has been
0:54
against completely against learning how
0:56
to ride a bike and um i just i was over
1:00
it okay at first i was like bro you got
1:01
to learn how to ride a bike and he was
1:03
like okay dad and then we went to go
1:05
ride a bike you know what i’m saying and
1:06
do all the things and it turns out he
1:08
quit so i put him on my shoulders and i
1:10
was like okay man don’t worry i’ll carry
1:12
you into the future and then we went on
1:15
a trip on a road trip and the the the
1:18
the bike riding was a part of the road
1:20
trip uh and and he didn’t know how to
1:22
ride a bike so i had to pull him but
1:24
what i’m not telling you is that it was
1:25
in the grand canyon uh in the middle of
1:27
july 90 degree weather
1:30
7000 feet elevation your boy was hurting
1:33
and because i was out of shape i was
1:35
breathing hard it was crazy uh so i had
1:37
to pull him in this bike thing and i was
1:40
just like bro after this you got to
1:41
learn how to ride a bike and so today
1:43
was the day that i was determined to get
1:45
this kid to learn how to ride a bike and
1:47
so
1:49
i didn’t even tell i just i just pulled
1:51
him outside
1:52
as a matter of fact
1:54
i i’ll i’ll just show you what happened
2:01
no
2:03
this time son
2:04
no i can’t ride a
2:07
why not
2:09
because i don’t know how well that’s why
2:11
you’re going to learn today no
2:14
it’s about time son make sure that
2:16
helmet fits okay try it on we’re not
2:18
gonna ride it right now we’re gonna go
2:19
to the park and ride it okay
2:20
right now soon but make sure that helmet
2:22
fits and first you gotta put it on the
2:25
right way and make sure that you uh
2:28
go get some socks
2:30
you gotta teach your ryan how to ride a
2:31
bike we’re gonna use steel’s old bike
2:34
because as you guys know i have been
2:37
going through with this kid okay
2:40
i
2:41
have
2:44
been trying to teach this kid how to
2:45
ride a bike
2:47
he’s not into it he wants no parts of it
2:51
today all of that changes the reason why
2:54
is because
2:56
i’m a father
2:57
and i’m supposed to protect my child
3:00
right i am the insurance provider right
3:04
i am helping them get to wherever they
3:06
want to be and making sure that they
3:08
have all the necessary tools and one of
3:09
the things you have to know as a kid is
3:11
how to ride a bike now i need your
3:13
comments in the comment section were you
3:15
one of them kids that never learned how
3:16
to ride a
3:26
[Music]
3:28
right now i’m trying to set up your
3:30
uh trying to make sure the bite
3:33
is all good to go
3:36
in the meantime
3:37
can you start scooping this poop for me
3:39
please
3:40
right here thank you because i already
3:42
stepped on the
3:44
the worst piece of my life
3:47
i have to scoop the poop
3:50
and ride a bike
3:52
which are one of my two lead favorite
3:56
things
3:58
and then when i open the trash can
4:02
i have to see
4:03
so much flies
4:06
which i hate bugs
4:09
so it is
4:10
raining
4:12
with my exact words
4:15
the worst day
4:16
of
4:18
my
4:26
raya where’s the are you done where are
4:29
you at
4:31
buddy you still got poop over here dog
4:34
yes
4:39
do you think that ryan was gonna learn
4:40
how to ride a bike today
4:44
i don’t think so why
4:46
because i remember the last time you
4:48
think
4:49
rabbit will be able to learn how to ride
4:50
a bike today
4:51
not woody not really why do you say that
4:53
[Music]
5:05
do you think ryan is going to learn how
5:07
to ride a bike today
5:09
yeah you think so yeah why is that
5:13
why
5:14
because
5:17
i don’t know who this is for but i think
5:18
it needs to be said
5:20
not everyone is going to believe in you
5:23
and sometimes you won’t believe in
5:24
yourself
5:25
but how good is it to have someone in
5:27
your corner that’s pushing you toward
5:29
greatness that they know you can achieve
5:31
when you find those people make sure you
5:33
hold them closer
5:36
okay
5:37
and then we’re going to get ready to go
5:50
well we can figure it out
5:55
do you think you’re going to ride a bike
5:56
today
5:57
uh not really
5:59
why not
6:01
because um
6:03
i don’t know how to and last time i hurt
6:05
myself okay well last time how old were
6:07

9:14
let you choose the bike
9:18
okay yeah
9:26
don’t cry don’t cry you got it
9:29
you got it bro
9:37
in this moment i can tell that riot was
9:38
having flashbacks from his first
9:40
experience learning how to ride a bike
9:41
it did not start out pretty because he
9:44
fell
9:47
we could stop today
9:48
no i want to keep going i know buddy but
9:51
you did a really good job today
9:54
and this is the moment when i knew
9:55
everything was going to change when i
9:57
told him we could stop he wanted to keep
9:59
going he’s going to win the uriah
10:00
sticker
10:01
when he completes the mission
10:04
you want to try again or you want to
10:06
be all done
10:07
okay
10:09
i remember being a kid and going out on
10:11
bike rides with my sister it used to be
10:13
so fun i used to stick a can in the
10:15
wheel and it would sound like a
10:16
motorcycle now that my sister’s past i
10:19
think a lot about those times and i’ll
10:21
never be able to experience that again
10:23
though my intention was to give him a
10:25
freedom he had to get past the things
10:27
that he experienced before and see the
10:29
vision for himself
10:31
he has to dream himself
10:33
but this time he has to dream fearlessly
10:36
but he’s not alone
10:38
you see me right beside him and his
10:39
brother-in-toe
10:41
i know that anaya and uzi are watching
10:43
so when it’s their turn they’ll expect
10:45
the same amount of commitment i have for
10:47
uriah and i’m going to be there in every
10:50
single season to push them along even if
10:53
it’s just to remind them of all the
10:54
things they already accomplished
10:57
remember when you said you couldn’t ride
10:59
a bike
11:01
look how long you went by yourself
11:04
big dog
11:06
now can i
11:08
i’m gonna try to do it from the start
11:11
without your help okay let’s go as
11:13
parents sometimes we can focus too much
11:15
on protecting our kids from the external
11:17
things that comes along with living life
11:19
but it all starts with a thought an
11:21
internal thing that tells us that
11:22
something could go wrong and if the
11:24
unexpected does happen make sure you
11:26
have support so you can have the freedom
11:29
that all this life has to offer
11:31
okay father’s day is here and i’m here
11:33
to let you know that american family
