[Video transcript by Liss: A little white boy in a bike helmet is standing outdoors; he is very excited. "I feel, I feel, I feel—" A man (presumably his dad) behind the camera offers: "You feel alive?" The little boy continues: "I feel happy of myself!" Dad says: "I feel happy of yourself, too," then asks: "You got any words of wisdom? What about for all the other kids, trying to learn how to ride their bikes? Can you say anything to them?" The little boy steps up onto the curb as if it's a stage, positions himself, takes a deep breath, and says: "Everybody! I know you can believe in yourself! If you believe in yourself, you will know how to ride a bike! If you don't, you just keep practicing! You will get the hang of it, I know it! If you, if you keep practicing, you will get the hang of it, and then you can get better and better, and then you can do it!" Dad says, "Gimme some thumbs-up." The little boy gives two thumbs-up and shouts: "Thumbs up, everybody! FOR ROCK AND ROLL!" Dad laughs. Fin.]
