It’s been medically proven that those of us who laugh a lot live longer than those of us who our constant sourpusses, and this funny dirtbike video from the Biker and Life YouTube channel ought to make even the most hard-nosed, serious rider crack a smile.

Any motocross or off-road racer who’s ever gotten psyched up for the drop of the starting gate knows the anticipation that comes when the 30-second board is being walked off the track. Biker and Life’s funny dirtbike video seriously, and we mean seriously, analyzes that zen moment in time when the bike is in gear, the clutch is pulled-in and the revs are shrieking. The rider’s eyes are trained on the starting gate, and savvy riders know that there is a certain spot on the gate where your eyes should be trained, waiting for the slightest hint of movement to signal that the gate is falling. Reaction time is critical!

Our only reaction to this funny dirtbike video is rolling belly laughter that starts as a giggle and builds from there. Almost like the anticipation of the start itself. And then, when the crucial moment comes, the rider drops the clutch and accomplishes something that all of us have done at one time or another in our motocross racing days. Check it out!
