Acorns of Hope

Nice Video

I love this story, it's so simple yet so inspiring. I'm going to plant a bunch of trees right now!

Awesome. Great job, Grady

Trees are the answer! What a great ride and I plan to do it again next year. Bob- what a great idea, your rock. It is amazing what grows from a tiny acorn - HOPE.

You guys are the best- I miss you all and will be riding 2008- Hello to all Thibodeaux's from Colorado

Thanks Bob, I will be there with you next year!

Be with us in INDY in JULY!!!

This is the greatest short! Enjoyable, entertaining, well done, socially relevant.

What a great short! Very entertaining and a great cause!

I got emotional watching this because I missed the chance to do it. Maybe next year.

Thanks to Patrick Reis for letting me know about it.

Great job.

An inspiring video about a wonderful program! Well-filmed, with a great sound track. What a great idea!

inspiring!

What a great idea. I just wish I could have been there to experience it. There's plenty more places to plant trees in the world, though!

Great film about a good cause! Makes me want to get on my bike and head south to help out. : )

i had no idea that this was such a problem on the large scale. if these guys had this much fun making a difference down there, sign me up for the next one.

That was great!! Loved the music and want some of that good cajun food. Keep up the great work and wonderful film making.

Terrific film! It makes me want a bowl of gumbo :()

You guys rock!! I wish I could have been there. All my TDT friends showed up - even the Canadians. Maybe next year. Thanks for hosting the event Bob.

Ride On

Grass roots and tree roots grow together. This film and this project represent one small part of making a difference and making a change, which will only happen if people get involved. And, it tastes good!

Great video....it looks like it really captured the essence of the entire event! Congratulations on a successful ride!

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Felt like I was in a Kia commercial!
You guys rock...thanks for giving back and making the effort to make this world a better place - loved the tunes!

We need more folks like you in this world, thanks for making it a better place!

This is awesome. What a great ride.

The Acorns of Hope truly is an amazing organization
with an equally amazing leader. And Southern
Louisiana...the people, the views, the food!

destruction of Southern Louisiana's oak cheniers
really was to the entire U.S., and the world...

I love this video because it not only addresses a major environmental disaster that is rarely talked about but also informs the viewers that there is an awesome and fun way to become part of the solution.

Hooray for trees, bikes, and great shorts!

&
-the air we breathe!

My hat has been tipped.
