You can watch it at the source here instead: Same movie.

BTW: I didn't make that LeMons "black flag" movie, just to be clear. This is the first and only one of these things I've ever made. I only did it to learn how the software works. The chuckles are a bonus.

I love it. I'm sure I actually had this guy as a student just a couple of weeks ago. His quotable quote was "I have only have limited time on the track but you must understand that I am a naturally talented and very fast driver". As an instructor all you can do is shudder.

Here's another that is modeled on a UK track day briefing but be warned that there's a fair bit of bad language used:

Very funny and clever.
I agree that the 'I'll trash you on the forums part' was priceless.

Too funny... How many times have I sat behind a "faster car" lap after lap and not get the point by despite flaggers, flashing lights, black flag, etc. The Miata segment was great. Gary is right on about the racing suit - I've seen a 1st time participant show up in a pro race suit from a previous season with all the patches on it.

Someone put together a similar movie, but this time for a specialized skill in skydiving called swooping. If flying a tandem canopy is like driving a bus, and flying a student canopy is like driving a mini-van and flying the average skydiver's canopy is like driving a stock run of the mill Toyota Corolla. Flying a "swooping" canopy like the Velocity 84 (as referenced in the video) is like driving a GT3RS at it's limits. Plus it takes hundreds, if not thousands of jumps to become a good swooper, not the 25 jumps referenced in the movie.
