Let’s get a round of applause for the camera man running the fastest mile backwards

[DJaiirox]

Yeah it was impressive but why is no one talking about the camera man ? He ran it in under 4 mins too and backwards

[johnashton]

I can do a mile on a vertical drop in under a minute.

[JulienNeel]

Well done dude. Downhill or not, that was a ridiculous accomplishment.
Please consider running a 5K or 10K road race with these, I'd love to know how it goes!

[coopdf]

Anyone wanna talk about how the entire thing was down hill

[LearningFast]

That is a super strong run even with the downhill. The drop in those shoes really pushes you forward especially going downhill. People are putting up some pretty crazy times in downhill marathons with these shoes.

[jackm]

A decent effort but wouldn’t it have just been easier to rollerblade down that hill?

[sbholliday]

My 6 ½ year old daughter saw the part where you fly from track to road. She asked, did those shoes make him fly? I replied, yes he can fly with those shoes. She said, ok and walked away. Thanks for the video.

"STOP! We're not doing this on a level track! We're doing this downhill!"

[joshuaglassmyer]

I love how the camera angle makes it look like he's going absolutely nowhere when he's actually hauling

[carsonmalleet]

Thought the 3:5X was absolute clickbait... and it wasn’t 🤯😂

[irritablearchitect]

"Don't try this at home!"


And he's not even talking about playing in traffic; it's the pace that might kill you.

[abominablejoeman]

I’m trying to get under 14 minutes. Then it’s onto the record.

[tommychobo]

Anyone else freaked out about how he just flew from the track to the road using some sort of rocket propulsion in the shoes at 2:48 ? No wonder those things are controversial

[SpartanFarron]

Next thing you know, they're going to ban all downhills from competition. You started this, Nick!

[KoalaGaming]

That liftoff edit was fly... pun intended

[tylerstogsdill]

Never before have I seen someone fly to where they’re going to run! That is a serious power move👟

[daisysuperdog]

I bought the shoes after watching this. Every shoe I ever bought caused me pain in my legs, joints, and back.
At 54 weighing 254 lbs I started running with my pink Vaporfly Next shoes 4 months ago. It was mind blowing. It absorbs impact like nothing I have ever seen. I am now still 54 but weighs 223 lbs and is running every day to every second day on these shoes. Will never buy anything else. No pain running! My mile time went from 10 minutes down to 7:58 and I know I will do better in the future. (I know it is slow...) New life!

[ZombieProdigyUS]

Bro 99.99% of people commenting, "BUT IT WAS DOWNHILL" could not run that 3:55 on their best day 😂

[jaredswartz]

7:18 love how he stops, cuts, puts his mic on and acts like he just finished. Haha
