Why We Ride π’
Hey β my name's Fabien.
Single dad, going through a whole lot of changes right now, and somewhere in the middle of all of itβ¦ roller coasters kind of became our thing. For my little one and me, it's the escape, you know? From the bad moments β the ones that don't exactly make it easier to still show up to work, to school, and keep everything working out anyway. We ride, and for ninety seconds none of that exists.
The little one you'll see on screen β she's been through a lot. And I mean a lot. She went from extremely, genuinely terrifiedβ¦ to actually enjoying the ride. Well β partially. Ha. That's the honest version. And that "partially"? It took ten months. Ten months of her staring down her fear of heights, one drop at a time, right there next to me.
And here's the part I really want you to hear: this wasn't two days. It's so easy to watch a clip and think a kid just "got brave" overnight β trust me, it does not work like that. Making it look easy is the easy part. The real thing is slow, and messy, and it's a hundred tiny "okayβ¦ one more" moments. If there's one thing I love showing people, it's that β the actual process. Awareness first. Then, little by little, self-confidence.
So that's what this is. No reviews, no sponsors, none of that noise. Just a dad and his kid, hands up, figuring it out together β and filming every single drop so we can watch it back on the couch later and go, "we actually did that."
It looks like 2 days. It was really 10 months.
Confidence isn't a highlight reel β it's built one drop at a time. That's the part worth showing.
