Ben Harper and Relentless 7's new video, 'Fly One Time,' has a very simple but pointed message: "It's about taking a risk -- not allowing complacency to step in as a daily ritual," Harper tells Spinner. "It's really about stepping out of your life and stepping to it."

To illustrate the song's theme, Harper turns to footage of some of his favorite extreme and non-extreme athletes, such as surfer Laird Hamilton and cycling champ Lance Armstrong. "It was both friends of mine and people who've inspired me over the years and inspired me day to day," he says.

One athlete who didn't make the video cut is Harper himself. "Skateboarding is something I do every day," he says. "I also love to surf. I don't surf as often as I skate because I have a ramp in my backyard. I surf maybe once a week or when I'm home twice a week."

Harper admits he didn't think of putting himself in the clip, but he kind of likes the idea (we also think that his fans would dig seeing some footage of him skating). "Yeah, me eating s--- in the pool," he says laughing. Not exactly what we had in mind, but it would definitely be a YouTube hit. Watch the exclusive premiere below.
