Respect to Red Bull for making peoples dream come true 💯

[@RedBullBike]

cheers ❤️

[@DaveWasThereMan]

​@@RedBullBikeWho cares. I'm American. No skateparks for most poor towns in America. This Nigerian skatepark will be burnt down and sold for scrap but hey nice fake positivity messages are all the rage.

[@wavybabylive]

@@RedBullBike Fr thank you for doing this for them!

Loving the fids errm vids yeah fids 😅​@@RedBullBike

[@SKEastCoast-wj9wx]

The most important part of this video is that you got the kids to help do the work and labor. They earned that park. Therefore, they will protect and keep the park running. It has value bc of their hard work. It wasn't just handed to them.

[@THESHEPERD.12]

That's the best way to make them want to build other projects tthemselves in the future with the skills

[@liqwidstudios6156]

In a country where it feels like only bad things keep happening, this is quite awesome. Ese Redbull. Ese Courage. Ese Ryan.

[@Bmx_dera]

We the BMX rider’s are grateful 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🇳🇬

[@areyouserious3092]

You guys in Nigeria are absolutely amazing riders. I can't wait to see what you all achieve . You have some serious talent over there, dude🤘👍🤟❤.

[@Nurse_villa]

That's what's up

[@rexididia6624]

Thank you BMX, you made the dreams of thousands come to pass. I am proud to be a Nigerian.

[@mikemorris3608]

What a great story, you should do more of this Redbull

[@RedBullBike]

​@@Basement_CNCur easily taken in arnt you kid........ Where's these companies been for past few decades? Why now ? ...... Use Ur damn brain kid

[@areyouserious3092]

This has to be one of the best bmx story videos I have ever seen. What you guys did for the young people of Nigeria is nothing short of amazing. The energy of those young riders is astonishing, and I, for one, can not wait to see what they achieve . Just Brilliant 👏

[@Ajebieber1]

I wanted to cry when i saw this. God bless you courage.

[@itskevinzerbe]

Amazing. I'll never take my local park for granted ever again.

[@Boombastic82]

Born in 82. Our parents used to buy BMX for those who came 1st in class. I never did but waited for my younger brothers bikes who came first. I did BMX And Raleigh Bikes in the 90s. I did a lot of stunts. I even tore a little part of my scrotum doing all these stunts. Now at 42 i dont see BMX Bycicles anymore. I have been looking for those yellow ones we used to have in the 90s. My best bycicle of all time.

[@iqbalbalan]

Hats off to Courage, the whole crew, Nigerian BMX, and of course Red Bull... Respect

[@johngillians1027]

Don’t forget a big shout to Ryan Corrigan for building the park to facilitate those dreams. God Bless

[@Oijimakinde]

This is beautiful, inspirational and commendable. A flower blooms in a land where nothing grows.

[@imre.c9318]

The storytelling, cinematography, the characters we meet. Fortified Courage Adams as my favorite rider. Thank you to the people who made this happen. Love from brooklyn

[@akahartoon]

This is probably one of the most heart touching films about BMX I have ever seen

[@nehemiahissteezy]

I don’t even ride BMX I ride Flatland scooter but this video hits pretty close to home because I as a Nigerian-American, It feels good to see other Black people putting themselves out there in a predominantly white sport. Especially in a area like Nigeria where BMX and action sports might be looked down upon because it is so different. A skatepark will really change the way people there look at action sports as a whole. To Courage, Red Bull, and Lagos Crew, keep doing what you do, don’t let anyone put you down for it. Much love from the U.S.❤

[@liroy-watkins]

[@redbomberr4594]

From Australia, well done Mr. Adams. Not just talented, there's no higher praise from this part of the world....Good Man.

[@gray_jrn675]

I'd come back ages from now smiling for being part of the bmx first generation in nigeria 🇳🇬.... THANKS TO RED BULL

[@DrewRobertson1]

I spent my 30's riding Rye Airfield 3x a week. Best time of my life. Stoked for these dudes.

[@KenjiBiH]

I'm a big fan for people who find to do something with what they got they 100% deserve the skate park no matter what anyone says, matter fact every country/city should have a skatepark because it can give kids & adults something to do instead of other bad stuff for example, the community is so good i recently just bought a BMX and I'm excited to see my progression in the coming years

[@Rashman-f7z]

Oh I didn't expect to shed tears watching this Chad's story touched me. Thank you Red Bull, Courage, Fid and the others for coming together to build the skatepark for them. People think they are just nuisance, but imagine them talking about participating in building this park so that the next generation won't have to go through the same struggle they went through. Wow, that really touched me even our leaders don't have that mindset. I wish all there dreams would come true 🙏🏿 It would be nice if a tournament can be organised as well especially with Red Bull backing

[@anthony_wesokoye6420]

100% agree

[@reezonoce]

"BMX is going to be at the Olympics" It was my dream when I was riding throughout high school to see that happen and now it has and its people like these guys that made that a reality, they bring BMXing to another level, they show it to more people, they entertain for others, not just themselves, they enjoy every moment, even the big crashes, which are difficult enough to come back from without worrying about others, so I thank you, all of you, Redbull, the Nigerian riders who helped make this happen and the community behind them, riders around the world who are still riding and the brands who see the potential in places and people that the rest of the world ignores, THANK YOU!!

[@adilaMusic-mo9gm]

Since the Government has nothing to offer us, I'm always gonna come back when I get big to at least set up a theater for art, so help me God❤

[@DannyBrown_]

I’ve been here quite some few times as a Skater and this video made me realize the whole story behind it. Cheers to ya’ll for making a dream come true.

[@Mr-6ixxxx]

I really cried watching this video. as a young kid that grew up in Lagos and disturbed my hood with my bike, I can relate to how hard it was to have little or no opportunity to experience your passion … Seeing this happen eventually now over a decade later, filled me with so much emotion and joy. God bless you guys. I will be visiting the parks when I’m back home for sure.

[@heavyDuty113]

This is so inspiring, a big shout out to Red Bull for make it happens!!

[@condorilopezmaurojose5435]

no entendi nada de lo que decian, pero, entendi lo que sentian... y me vi el video completo.... FELICIDADES!!!!!!!

[@sodiqayilara1519]

Just so amazing. Everyone that participated will look back and be happy for life.

[@jdmgsrhatch1]

Big ups to Nigeria you can see in the smiles that they will cherish and love this park for generations to come. Red Bull and all sponsors and courage you guys outdid your selfs blessings to all.

[@CaptnCat1]

WOW! This is probably the nicest thing such a big company like red bull has ever done! I had a smile on my face the whole time seeing how happy the locals were to become theyr dream a reallity! Huge props to paul for giving chad his bike and giving him the oportunity to come back to the scene! Almost made me cry to see the reaction of chad!! Awesome work everyone!

Absolutely! He is amazing. This is so motivational, inspiring and touching at the same time. I remember watching and downloading the video of his first visit to Nigeria to my PC, and I use that to keep myself going. Courage Adams is just an inspiration

[@SkatersOktay]

I am proud of you, an excellent athlete who does not forget where you come from. It is great to open doors for those who come after you. 👏👏👏👏👏

[@youme1414]

Thank you, Red Bull for giving Nigerian BMX riders the head-up opportunity! The weather is terribly hot and the humidity shows well in the workers' face. This is a very welcome development in Lagos.

[@Romeolives619]

I felt like I should have had to pay to watch this. Awesome story great characters. went in a little too much on the back stories. It almost felt like they were dragging the reveal for the skate park. but other than that great short film. 7.9/10 stars.

[@Renclif]

What an amazing and inspiring film, brought a tear to my eye! 🙌These kids will go places with the sport they love, they're all so talented! It also brings me back to when my first local skatepark was built, the excitement of seeing it come together and the feeling of rolling it for the first time! 👏

[@areyouserious3092]

Ain't they just amazing riders, absolutely brilliant . The dedication is so inspiring.

[@boogiedownbronx73]

Seeing these guys so happy I can only be happy for them. Emotional. This is what sport is about. To bring each other together, share, learn, build. Can RedBull start a charity orso to help future riders....also help Chad with a new home, phone and bike.

[@Justaskjoshpm]

So sick, big shout out to all the people on the build 👌🏼👊🏼👍🏼

Ich liebe die Art und Weise in der ihr Leuten helft zum Champion zu werden

[@genuinediasporan6661]

Thank you,guys. Especially coming from different parts of the world to do this. I grew up riding BMX in that neighbourhood of Lagos Island in the 80s. You just built what I always dreamt about when I was that age.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The next Danny MacAskill could come from Nigeria, these guys have so much potential! Much Love!!!

This is so rad. Someone needs to build these kids some dirt jumps too…

Also how can I donate my bike??? It’s probably ten years old now, but it’s a complete United that I got shortly before quitting after my bike got stolen.
