Dante Young | This RIDER 

Which rider would you like to see next?

Dante, Diego, Justin, Cory, Rahsaan, Charon : if you're reading this, know that what you are doing isnt just for the kids. I am older than some of you and take a huge amount of peace from seeing you at the races, from seeing other people of color out there, striving to be the best versions of themselves without tearing other people down to do it. Need more of that in the world!

Cycling didn't save him, he's saving cycling, he's an inspiration a whole new generation to get involved in this beautiful sport

Cycling has changed my life for the good and continues to change my life and me as I evolve as a man both physically and spiritually. I am 55 years old and I've been riding since I was a young boy. I feel I owe it to the sport/discipline to keep evolving in positive ways....anything less would be a disservice. Thank you Mr. Young for today's motivation.

The cinematography on this one!!! OMG, next level!

Motivate the younger generation????!!!! Shucks, Im 60 and this video motivated the heck out of me. WOW!!!! Outstanding.

Great production. Some of the shots are really art. And thanks for promoting Dante and his community, our community. A valuable piece of art and content.

Hell yeah Dante! Very cool story and a true pioneer of the sport!

Dante and the Williams brothers are definitely a big influence as to why me and the team ride and race.

So many messages in this, dont even know where to start... soooo good.

Keep Pedaling and pushing the boundaries. Thanks for sharing your perspective and inspiring the sport to grow.

Such a powerful story. 💪🏼

Dante 🙌🏽🙌🏽Way to go bro! Keep up the work.

Dante is the reason why I started biking again!

what an inspiring story . he's videos always motivated me to go out and ride as fast as i can 🔥🔥

Such an inspiring story and very well done!

Love this so much! Go Dante GO!!

It is very lucky to grow up in the community with a role model like him. When I was young, no one around me could guide me on the right path, so I understood the meaning of this role more. I'm planning to open a bike shop that I hope will change the lives of some other young people.

Amazing story! This is so much more interesting and inspiring than doing an interview/highlight of a world tour rider. Thanks Canyon.

Thank you Dante! You’ve been inspiring and changing lives by following what you love. Hope to see you all soon on the saddle.

Unfassbar gut gemachtes Video und sehr inspirierender Dude.

I love this video. Beautiful story.

This video screams Socal vibes, being a younging with a bike THIS IS LOVE BRO !!!

Well done! Exposure is key. Much support from Tokyo.

That intro... :OOOOO Amazing, inspiring movie! Keep doing it

Thank you Dante! You have been one of the greatest role models for me! I hope to someday ride with you! Rubber side down!🚴🏿‍♂

A very inspirational story! Well filmed and edited

Keep it up Te .. keep pushing and inspiring

wow what a story and what a video. Very well done

Dam to see where this kid is now!! That’s some wild ass shit!! You have grown so much Dante!! Keep pushing!! Live To Ride Ride To Live!

Great! this is so inspiring as MVDP win on Strade Bianche. I stayed clean during my youth thanks to bikes as well.

This is awesome. Dante is super cool, down to earth and incredibly humble. Glad to see him and many other men of color being recognized for their talents and efforts!!

damn I literally grew up in the same bike shop with Dante seeing him go from where he was to this is fucking nuts. Making Fix Fixie hella proud

This was awesome and motivating

👏🏾🙏🏾 all love Dante 💪🏾

I raced in the beginning with Dante. Cat 5! I noticed his passion than. Congrats my dude. The sky’s the limit 👊🏼

This was a brilliant story, Dante seems like the type of legend we need here in South Africa, wish we could get more people to know about him locally. Man, love this dude.... - Guardian Outdoors.

Get it Dante!

Crazy that any sport should be dominated by any race - nice to see these guys shine

Loved it!!

Continue being an inspiration. Don’t know Jericho but I’m guarantee he’s proud of you. You work hard you can accomplish anything

Great shout-out to Massan & Emi. Much respect to the forefathers of city cycling.

Proud of Dante. Keep cooking!

I love road cycling. I come from a similar background and I can really relate to Dante. I've seen clips of him on RU-vid but really didn't know who he was. This video is such an inspiration to me because it was kinda like looking in the mirror. I can feel his passion and drive. In Miami where I'm from road cycling isn't a thing in the hood. You either sold dope, played football or basketball, but cycling was considered a white thing. We as black people tend to change the dynamic and the narrative of any sport we choose to enter. Although it's not about race, it opens our minds to different possibilities and perspectives of the youth. This video was epic. Ride on brother. 🚴🏿‍♂️💯💪🏾

what an inspiration.....

Dante is awesome! I first saw him in a video with Safa Brian and watching him just disappear in the distance in front of Brian who was pedaling over 1,600 watts just floored me. And this was after a 45 minute training ride where they were mostly maintaining 30-40 MPH the whole time. Makes me wish I had seen people like him in my youth because now I’ve wasted too much of my life to ever reach anything like that level, but it sure has inspired me to take my health and fitness seriously today. This dude changes people’s lives for the better. What an inspiration!

This dude inspires me a lot! He’s a legend 🙌🏽

Outstanding.

This was Great! Respect Dante

Keep it up bro 🙏

love that FUN tee shirt!

Thank you for motivation! I’m 17 years old and I have problems with my knee, so I’m not riding bike. But I will! Good luck everyone! Hello from Ukraine

Pure inspiration here

Seeing Dante out there killing it makes you feel like you belong riding not too many black and Latino cyclists doing it on this level thank you from all of us!

so sick, so proud of you, Dante! and so glad we got to meet in LA 2 years ago when I first started cycling.

A bike enables you to see the world out of a hole new Perspektive!!!

What a Beautiful Story, As Queens Kid…. 6:35 Def hit home

Крутая работа 👍🏽🎥🎬

Cool vid. I just started cycling and i 💘 love it. It has become a serious passion. Thanks for the inspiring motivation.

Elevated.

🙌🙌

Woooow!

way to produce proper ultrawide content!

DOPE!

Dante is a winner, period. God bless all of you that are making it happens. I hope other Dantes and other Canyons do the same for the needy communities and special for color people. Brazil love you guys, time to come here (Dante and Canyon 😅)

Lets goooooooooooo

OH SHIT I REMEMBER SEEING THIS GUY FILMING IN THAT TUNNEL!!! I didn’t know it was for this!!! 0:42

2:12 is Cape Town no USA?

What’s the name of the song starting at 07:10 of the video? I would love to play it on my hard intervals on the bike!

💪🏾💪🏾

Super lucky to meet Justin and Dante yesterday at the Canyon chat. Both so approachable and humble and geniunely inspiring, awesome!

Yes sir, The Los Angeles cycling community is STRONG. Gald to be a part of it.

Such a fcking champ man.

Thanks

This dude is a monster

I seen the decent video with dante an safa.....beast made

Yeah man. Canyon your turning into the right direction. no colour matters - but minorities in cycling should be supported when the effort , the will and the talent is there but the connection is limited!

lets go

make more track bikes canyon

Man, Ya'll just motivated me.. I'm an ex D1 college soccer player. I can make a lot of power of out my legs. I need to work on some flexibility things and get myself right, but I'd like to dive into another hobby. I don't halfway do things.

✊🏽❤️🖤💚

Cycling really is a great sport. Even if you aren't in peak physical shape, you can hop on a bike, go on an adventure, and clear your head.

10:06 anyone know what bike the girl is riding ?

Nice

I’m here from instagram for the give away I don’t really know what he means but this is sick

Dude We need more of this! Cycling is huge in my city. A lot of "hood" kids buying fixed gears and 26" BMX cruisers! But a lot of adult people are mad and angry trying to criminalize these youth who are actually outside physically doing something with themselves. Yeah, they can act rude and ride in city traffic but what it really criminal is the fact that our infrastructure is built in the 1940s, my city's population has shot up 10 TIMES since then! We interface with deadly consequential automotive traffic on a daily basis! Street brawls and destroyed private property happen because of the toxic driving behaviors! The county supervisor representing my area was killed by car on a crosswalk my kids and I walk through all the time!!! Fixed gear bikes have been a hit with the youth in my hometown for over 15 years and you don't see any of the local high schools with Cycling clubs or anything of that nature. The Amgen Tour of California rides through my town annually and we have nothing to show forth in adequate bike infrastructure. Its sad to think that the same streets Mark Cavendish and Peter Sagan have competed on are the same streets drivers have almost killed me on....

saw him in one of the SAFA Brian's video.

🇧🇷

Wow

What is the begening song at 0:20 ??

Be a good dude, ride your bike like a boss, and you will inspire ALL people of ALL colors. Keep aiming HIGH

Awe. Some.

What's the name of the song at 7:42?

When I saw the SAFA Brian video on PCH I was like, "Hey, I've been there!" Then when I continued watching the video HE NEVER STOPPED PEDALING throughout the whole video! It was a raw 30-40 minute video that just kept going! Incredible power and endurance! I'm an immediate fan!

I'm buying a Canyon

Nice to meet you from cncpt. I also followed you on Instagram. Personally, I am a big fan. In Korea

Donte, shout to your older sister!!

Dann bin ich doch nicht der einzige der sein zu teures Rennrad mit Turnschuhen fährt

Cool video and neat story. It's too bad people have forgotten about Martin Luther King's dream where people would be judged by their character and merit and not skin color. Focusing on skin color sure is in vogue in the 2020's!

Music name? 7:30
