I have a dream that one day, my children will be judged not by the material of their construction but by the curves and weight of their design. -marble Luther king
Of course, there's nothing wrong with marbles of a different size and weight either, but they shouldn't compete against each other in competitions where a particular size and weight difference gives one an unfair advantage over the other.
Comments to my friends: "I can't believe there's a 15 minute documentary on a marble scandal I can't believe I watched a documentary on a marble scandal I can't believe I have a very strong opinion on a marble scandal"
Also something got me thinking about what Quicksilver said, about RN3 not telling anyone that he was not a marble. How come Jelle knew? My theory is RN3 told Jelle, and Jelle gave him all the tests to see if he was allowed, it's obvious that RN3 passed each test, or he wouldn't of been allowed. And RN3 asked Jelle to not reveal that he's not a marble to the public or fellow racers. So what RN3 said was true he knew that he would be judged, and those who are bitter about losing to him would use that as an excuse.
Michael Phelps has unusual ratio for upper/lower body length that benefits him in the pool and nobody questions whether he should be allowed to swim. RN3 might have some natural talents and benefits, but they come with weaknesses. RN3 had two courses in 2017 that were disastrously bad for him causing him to DNF 3 times out of 4 races on them (and give up a massive lead, settling for 11th in the 4th race). He's the right size and weight. And glass marbles might have slightly different performance characteristics too if more of their mass is towards or away from the middle of their frame due to the various styling processes... Side note: this is such sour grapes - someone is consistently winning so clearly he's cheating! Same issue happens for Savage Speeders who have been suffering baseless doping allegations - which is especially galling when you consider that they're considerably weaker at finesse competitions that make up a good chunk of the Marbleympics. And let's face it, there's a number of marbles who consistently do poorly as well but we aren't talking about what their natural disadvantages might be.
Well said, forgottenfamily. I watched RN3 through the 17 and 18 seasons. He has a niche - Sand Rally with NO obstacles. He is not great at other events, and if you throw in obstacles, like in the 17 season, it becomes blatantly obvious that is not his forte either. If it is discovered that materials have certain advantages in specific events, then it is the team coaches that are to blame. They should use that material on their teams. In human Olympics, you don't see sprinters' body builds running marathons, or shot putters, pole vaulting. Marbles come in many different materials (www.britannica.com/topic/marble-toy), and should be allowed to compete where they shine. Glass in not the original marble either. How do you think you got your name - marble. Embrace the wonders of glass, and if you can't get over not being great at Sand Rally, don't do that event; only play when you can be a winner. If you want to do Sand Rally, do it; enjoy it; stop whining.
@@elymihai1981 It is amazing how children are able to immerse themselves in hot wheel worlds, lego worlds, or a marble world. As adults, we lose (or deny) that astonishing capability only to complain about reality. I think Jelle has found the perfect balance between that wonderful immersion into the imagination, and maturity; not taking it too far, but taking it far enough. It is fun being able to play like a kid again.... LOL
I completely agree. The amount of time taken in production to make not only a race video but also a MARBLE SPORTS SCANDAL DOCUMENTARY... I think i'm equally in-awe and entertained.
These bigots against him are disgusting. Quicksilver is honestly just a racist. During the 2018 sand marble rally’s first race he pushed RN3 off the course on purpose! You could tell there was malicious intent. Quicksilver should have been suspended a race for endangering RN3’s life. I’m surprised by the lack of coverage this got on MSPN. Is MSPN paid off? I demand an investigation into the matter.
So this is what racism is if ur not human. But seriously, this material thing only became a rule like thing after RN3 was found not to be a marble. Quicksilver went a bit too far in my opinion, and of course Phoenix is upset. He came 2nd in 2018. But that shouldn't give marbles an excuse to discriminate against marbles like him. I hope we can get to the bottom of this
I say, don't get bitter, get better. Red is only good on sand, and there's only so far you can go specializing in one variety of the sport. Instead of looking for a reason to discredit their own failings, the marbles against him should train harder, and get on his level.
Nick Currie - No amount of training can turn a human into a horse. That's why horses can't compete in human races. No amount of training can turn a marble into a keychain. I say suspend him indefinitely until the rules are clarified. RN3 is NOT A ROLL MODEL!!!
L. D. BriQ It's red #3's dream. He should be able to compete. It's not his fault that he was born a keychain. Besides, he became the weight of an actual marble.
I actually went to school with Quicksilver and I can tell you that he's always been a jealous, bitter and most of all lazy marble. Sure he had the talent to easily beat us back in the day, but he never put the work in. As he rose through the ranks you could tell that his natural rolling ability would only get him so far. It's sad to see what kind of a sportsman he has become but honestly, I'm not surprised. All the best RN3, you've earned it man.
@@kono_ryu Oh absolutely. He spoke to all other marbles like he was their self appointed king. The arrogance of that horrible marble was shocking. Even at a young age.
@@Az_1987 There's another rumor I heard about Snowy going to school there at some point as well, but DAMN. The audacity of Quicksilver is something else... Does he have a God complex or something?
@@kono_ryu yeah i was with him in 4th grade and it seemed like he was trying to look down on people (And was also very mean to keychain marbles just sayin)
@@chewiegetsamedal2614 wait really? Even as a kid he's already like that? This behavior is something you learn from adults, so do you think his parents are somewhat similar?
It was touching to see noble competitors like Comet and Dragon's Egg come out in support. It was also nice to see RN3 respond to the situation with such grace. That will always make him a glass act in my book.
Ain't no rule. What I'm trying to say is even though there isn't a rule prohibiting R#3 from competing that doesn't mean he should be allowed to compete on that basis alone. Also, it's a reference to a webcomic called xkcd.
Me and a couple of people watched this in a group call a while back. It was a roller coaster of emotions, highlighted with one of them questioning themselves of why they're getting invested in the life and times of a marble.
@@leagueofmarblesports4228 hmm... So what about white girl that be with his family? I think She looks like White Widow who race in League B. just curious
Also to those who think RN3 was cheating by not telling anyone he's not a marble, how come jelle knew then? I say Rn3 told jelle before he's started racing, and jelle accepted him so long as he was tested and cleared to race, which he was and still is. So what RN3 said was true he decided not to reveal the fact that he was a keychain, so that the competitors and fans didn't judge him as weird, or use that as an excuse to call him a cheater. Rn3 is an honest, hardworking and humble racer, he doesn't deserve all these scandals and accusations, in my mind so long as jelle clears him to race he's technically a marble.
@@607 it might be on RUclips? I saw it on his HBO show Last Week Tonight. He was complaining about the lack of new sports to watch, then mentioned marble racing and how he was the new sponsor.
The rest of the marble should be thankful of red number 3, he has brought attention to their league along with excitement and a determination to win because he races like Dale Earnhardt was reincarnated and came back as red number 3. At this point the league would not be the same without red number 3.
Dont use #marblejustice to justify cheating. He aint a marble. He wasn't made as a marble. He isn't glass like the others (except superball who should be disqualified as well). Let's call a spade a spade #givethemarblesafairgo #drugtest
I think tests need to be done outside the marblelympics to determine how much of an effect different materials have. Run 1000 glass, 1000 clay, 1000 metal, 1000 like rn3 etc... see if there is a difference and only if its non existent or very negligable allow rn3 and superball to compete. I hope its negligable but fair is fair.
prove if theres a difference, if there isnt, let them in. if there is, make a secondary league. red is a racer, to strip him of his passion because of how he was made is unjust.
Jaffa Smokie BOOH! If he thought what he was doing was right he would’ve told everybody about the truth, and not hide it away! There are completely different standards for them keychains, and if one is allowed how many more? Can we get larger hollow balls if they way the same as a marble? Red Number 3’s composition is not only different with its material but density as well. Marble creators have a specific method of making marbles, how can we assume red number 3 was made even close to the same way? I don’t know about you but no marble and all of a sudden “gain ground” as quick as red 3 to the point that he’s gotten known for it. Who’s to say that all his talents aren’t from his training but from his composition.
Judge a marble not by the material of their construction but by the quality of their spherical shape and their mass. Marbles made from wood, stone, carbon fiber, ceramics, etc. should all be allowed to compete. Whether or not they were originally designed as marbles as long as they make dimensions and weight. If a metal ball bearing wants to compete and he’s within regs is it really fair to forbid him from competing?
Here's the deal buddy, have you ever read "The MarBell Curve"? It's about how different materials can impact a Ball's ability. Some good, some bad. In normal activities, they don't matter that much. But, in competitions, that's a different story. Keychainers have OBVIOUS evidence that they have an unfair advantage over all opponents. Not to be a Marble Materialist or Conspirator, but these Keychainers MUST be downplayed.
@@iagreebut5157 More people need to be aware of The MaBell Curve. I dont care if they call me a material supremacist. I know what i am. The bottom line is, if you actually care about marblehood and the problems different groups of marbles face, you have to address them truthfully even if it hurts. I love RN3 and i hope they determine negligable advantage after testing so he can compete. But you cant just ignore differences between materials.
I agree. Fact is even if the material makes one marble a little more adept at one competition doesn't mean a thing because, as we've seen with red, though he's particularly well off at sand races he's lacking in other areas. Allowing other marble types into the races could allow for some really interesting match ups and maybe even cause the marble sports leagues to shine. Just think if the marblympics had different material balls competing? How much more interesting that could possibly make things?
@@iagreebut5157 what advantage? the plastic used to make RN3 makes it hard to travel on sand so in reality its harder for RN3 to win and well look at superball and lollopop
I support Rn3 he doesn't deserve all this negativity, jelle please give him every test to determine if he is allowed to complete right down to the material check.
For some reason, this popped up very Late for me, Like over a year, but I'm a big RN3 fan, and had to speak- first of, if there IS a difference of materiel, that COULD be an unfair advantage, but that does not seem to be the case, RN3 is an actual glass marble, same weight, size, ratio, who just happened to start out as a keychain- second, weight could indeed be a factor, a slightly heavier marble COULD be going faster than others, but RN3 has a HOLE- he actually probably has a fractional amount Less Weight than other marbles, plus in his chosen event, the Sand Rally, a hole could get clogged or snagged on a tiny scale- making RN3's victories actually MORE Impressive if that's the case -- I'm sticking by the Legend, RN3 -- excellently done documentary btw to all who made this, and as quite a few others have commented- screw you Quicksilver
I'm actually in possession of orange number 5 (she's still chained up in the slammer after an unfortunate grand theft conviction after holding up a gas station several years ago) assuming there is some relationship between the two marbles, I can tell you red number 3 is made of either some kind of acrylic, plastic, or resin, with a very high polish and definitely isn't glass. The material is very very smooth and doesn't even seem to collect dust; things just slide off it. I suspect red number 3 doesn't collect as much sand while rolling down the track, which reduces his rolling drag because he's not physically pulling the grains up out of the tarmack as he rolls like the other balls are. Likewise because he doesn't stick to the sand it would explain why red no. 3 often goes high or even rolls off of banked turns in all the races, since the sand doesn't drag him as much.
Why stop there? Jawbreakers, ball bearings, those mouse balls from 90s computers, sphere shaped rocks, the sky's the limit without a proper classification of what a marble is
@@OBGrimey It's implied in the video that there are parameters to be followed before the contest. Competitors have been wieghed and their diameters measured for them to be allowed compete. So I don't think any sphered object can just be allowed to compete. I think the fault lies with the organizers who didn't take material into account. RN3 followed competetion rules and regulations at that time, but we'll see if the federation will do something to update this. It's quite an interesting turn for marble sports.
I think there should be lower and upper limits for coefficient of friction as well. If hollow spheres of precision ground hardened steel went up against wooden marbles in a funnel race, it would be slaughter to the degree that we couldn't show it in hours where kids might still be awake..
Look I'm as invested as all of you but can we just stop to think how beautifully ridiculous the word of of marble racing has become. Like this is so much fun and I don't want to break the illusion but like please tell we're all frickin peeing our pants at how silly this all is. Like there's a federation apparently. Gosh I love this part of RUclips. #LetRN3Race
I just want to say something: i find it absolutely amazing how you all made this big of a thing out of marbles and hard work. It is just awesome. A news network, rally, marblelympics. All the work that has gone into all of this. It is just epic. And I really love watching it.
Being more bouncy is a con in a sand marble rally - you can fall out of the track more easily. Also, having a hole in himself makes him disbalanced, and sand can fell into the hole. You can't really control that, so any changes into weight distribution affects the performance. Red Number 3 overcome this disadvantages by really hard work and training.
Sorry but the difference in the material can easily explain all his race comback. Also the sand doesn't have the same effect on glass and plastic. It stick more on the glass what make then less fast than rn3. And is the weight taken with his old empty or full of sand? If its empty than the sand give him a little more weight what can result with a better traction. With all the hard work im pretty sure he been able to take advantage of the disbalance with the sand making it able to give him a slingshot effect incressing his speed. That make him a cheater and create a real advantage in his favor. Sorry if it shock some people. But its like the trans in the sport. They have a physic advantage even if they think they are a girl. RN3 have a physic advantage even if he think he is a marble.
But you need to consider that he was able to overcome his disadvantages. There was a South African runner, that had both of his legs amputated, and he was one of the best runners in the planet. There is a Polish table tennis player without one of her hands, and she still is prime player in the world. They have been able to overcome their disabilities to compete at the highest level of their respective sports, and this is exactly what Red Number 3 did as well. He overcame his stability problems and instead of letting it affect his performance in a negative way, he turned it into his weapon.
@@ZdzichuWiertara96 but his situation doesnt give him disadvantage. Its more like you put a F1 car into a stock car race and say both are car. They are just made differently. Or put Paquio into the octogone with Rousey and say they have the same weight. And also paquio have a disadvantage he is older and he is not a mma or ufc fighter just a boxer. If you look into the 2018 final race et 3:38 you can see that RN3 is a lot less dirty than other marble because he is made with differente material. The dirt made the other opponent slower what give the chance to RN3 to come back. Dont forget what make this video very nice is the fact that even if you cheer for a team or a marble they have all the same odds to win because they are all the same except for the color. Since RN3 is not and it seem to give him a net advantage specialy on longer race the odds are not the same anymore. And at the end its less enjoyable when you already knowthd ends of the race or season because its rigged. If every marble was differente i would say fine. But since every other marble are the same material, same size, same weight, same evrrything then you can't keep one differente into the game. What it gonna happen is very simple. First people who are not fan of RN3 will stop watching the sand marble raply because there marble have no chance, then only RN3 fan will stay. But more he gonne win, more it gonne get bored, because cheering someone when it have no challenge is boring. So they also gonna loose fan of RN3 slowly but surely. Keep it in the rally race if maybe what gonna kill there next season.
RN3 is a racecar in a horse race, any "disadvantage" is negligible for the most part, his material gives him a leg up on racers who genuinely worked to get to where they are today
Look at his qualifier for 2017, he can jump over parts of the track and gain half a dozen positions. NO other marbles were able to do that ever, it's a unfair advantage, which has led to him being dominant in every race he was in. He needs to be removed from sand marble rally 2020 as he is, not a marble.
I was fortunate enough to see him before the 750 foot race. The fittest I’ve ever seen a marble. The white dot, the perfect black 3 to go along with that shiny red color gleaming off of the sun. I thought to myself “ boy, what are we going to see today?”. He was the executioner and the other marbles were being led to the gas chamber by him. I ran into Brent Musburger after that race. He told me “I always thought the first Ali / Frazier fight was the greatest thing I ever saw. What I saw from Red #3 today topped that”.
I would love to see some "Marble Science" testing to see if red no. 3 is actually faster. But the name is the Sand MARBLE rally, you need to be a marble to compete. It is in the name, Red No. 3 had to know. Didn't he ever realize he was the ONLY one that wasn't a marble. I understand he trained hard and he probably would be a very good racer if he was a normal marble, but we will never know. Every race he is in from now on will have questions whether he has an advantage or not. A player in football/baseball/any sport can be great and train all day every day, but if they are found using drugs or illegal ways to give themselves an advantage there are consequences. Do the marbles sign contracts for the Sand Marble Rally? are there any formal rules? What is the cutoff for types of marbles? Is only accepting one type of marbles discriminating or should there be different leagues? I'm very excited to learn more about this story and how it will change Marble Racing history
But that's the thing, imagine banning black people from running just because "what they are made of". Professional sport is all about the biggest advantage you can have within the rules. The next genetics, the best diet which doesn't cross the arbitrary "drug" line, etc. Working hard is a necessity to get to the top, but it's not a big differentiator once you're at the top.
Furthermore, just because something is a "white people Olympics" doesn't mean it's right to discriminate against others. Especially when you come from a minority like red 3 did, there is simply no field for professional keychain racers. We should embrace diversity in sports and if that means we will see less "traditional" marbles win, then so be it.
@@DavidMulderOne I think the argument is not that RN3 is a different colour, because every marble is a different design. The real issue is that RN3 is not of a 'type' or even species that should be accepted into a rally which by name is for marbles. Maybe a similar comparison is would you let a greyhound run in a horse race? No, because they are not the same animal. And neither should the competition allow a former keychain be allowed in a marble race. It's pretty black and white.
@@DavidMulderOne while I agree with you that ethnicity should not affect whether or not you can compete, i think you made the wrong comparison: this is more like a male competing in the female category, he obviously has an unfair advantage over others. Just because you identify as female that doesn't allow you to compete with them in the normal Olympics. Of course this comparison is not perfect, and marblelympics rules might be different, so all we can do is wait for a decision on whether or not RN3 should compete with other marbles. Personally, I am a big fan of his, so I hope that he can, but it's up to the judges to decide whether or not he has an unfair advantage
I may have "outed" RN3 on a comment on this very channel months ago. I hope the reddit post didn't come from someone who saw my comment (where I presented the same evidence), because I never intended to discredit the marble. I regret posting that comment now, RN3 deserves to compete.
The SMR already welcomes marbles of all materials- not every marble is made of glass! And not every glass marble is alike! If we started getting into materials and traction, we'd be here all day! Scarcely anyone would be able to compete! My heart goes out to RN3. Clearly, he's been training so hard for this moment. And from such a young age too. His family should be proud of him.
This is so good. I just discovered marble racing a couple days ago and red#3 became my instant favourite. Now I don't know what to believe. Thank you for doing what you do and sharing it with us:)
Say what you want, do what you want.. Red Number 3 has proven himself best a lot of times.. You cant take his fans away from him by any controversy.. He is the legend and will always be.. Love you RN3.. ❤❤
A critical issue: given the same diameter, weight is not as much an issue as weight distribution. If Red #3 has a heavier core (metal?) and a lighter outer shell (plastic), that is a real, significant advantage. Less kinetic energy goes into rotational motion and more into translatory motion, allowing higher velocities with the same potential energy at the start of the course. Being slippery is not an issue here, but weight distribution clearly is. Of course, tests need to be conducted.
On the one hand, this is such ugly discrimination against RN3. People are trying to tear down a champion by retroactively re-defining the sport to exclude him. But on the other hand, SIZE and WEIGHT are not the only important factors. To make up the same weight, RN3 must have a dense core. That means he has lower MOMENT OF INERTIA, which makes him more nimble on the track. Very useful for sand rally where you have to speed up and slow down to navigate turns and obstacles. That same advantage becomes a disadvantage on straight runs like the 5m sprint or hurdles, explaining why he doesn't have crossover to the other sport events. Does this make him better or worse versus a solid glass marble? NO, it makes him DIFFERENT. He's suited to sand rally, aka natural talent, but he also works hard, trains hard, and rolls with style. He's broadening the sport, a change agent, a roll model. We are lucky to have him.
I support red number 3!! I was a fan of his from the start, and I was so excited to see his training and effort pay off. He is an inspiration to all marbles and balls in general, of how to carry yourself in any sporting event, and especially how to handle controversy. Looking forward to seeing him in the future as I hope he can sustain a long career in the marble sports arena.
It’s 2019 people! Can’t we judge a competitor on their performance and integrity and not on where they are came from or their physical makeup? Just look at Quicksilver. He is obviously a douchebag yet is still allowed to compete.
I would like to say, the folks at Jelle's have always been a solid supportive community. We have worldwide fans and we shouldn't let material divide us now. I stand with red.
I love how this marble racing has expanded into a whole freaking universe :D Some things I noticed: - Hey, that's not Superball, that's a LEGO football ;) - Is Quicksilver high on something? That voice is just WTF :D - So RN3 is like Oscar Pistorius among athletes?
You know, I noticed the hole on Red No. 3 about 2 races in and honestly just shrugged it off. I kind of thought he was some type of bead perhaps? But mostly it didn't matter, I thought it was cool that someone different was allowed to compete. I will admit that I also noticed how well he was doing, and part of me did/does wonder if his material and/or construction gave him the advantage, but when you look at the spread of many races, you clearly see that some competitors slip into a groove sometimes. In the end, I like many others would be curious about the science of it... but I would also be sad to learn there really was an edge over the others on the sand :/ i would accept the truth but it would be a bummer to say the least.
Man, I had no idea there was such heated rivalries between the keychain and marble communities. I love Red Number 3 and think he's done a phenomenal job training and it shows. Quicksilver has some fair points but I don't think they're coming from a place of fairness or justice. He's just bitter he lost to RN3, which is understandable, but c'mon, guys. Let's be mature about this!
It's funny looking back at this how Quicksilver finished 11th in the 2019 SMR. Just goes to prove R#3 was right and Quicksilver was just jealous. He doesn't win every race and he even DNF a race. Does that mean the other marbles that beat R#3 in 6 out of 8 races are cheating and/or are not marbles either?
This is the definition of a marble from some of the different top online English Dictionary's A) A small ball of coloured glass or similar material B) A little ball made of stone, baked clay, glass, porcelain, agate, or steel C) A little ball made of a hard substance (such as glass) D) Anything resembling or suggesting marble in hardness, smoothness, coldness, coloration, etc.
10mins "I removed my keychain" - ouch! That sounds like it must have been really painful! Red 3 is a hero and should be applauded for their brave and noble sacrifice, not condemned by the hateful materialists! Red 3 could have had an easy life and seen the world, transported in comfort by his human as he accompanied them on their travels. Instead, he yanked off his own keychain (double ouch) and commenced on a programme of strict training and drastic weight-loss to become the athlete we all know and love today. Honour his sacrifice and silence the haters!
Love it. Probably the best video yet. As a die hard RN3 fan I have to say it seems a little bit of sour grapes from the other competitors. People always look to bring down the greats.
As it turns out, plastic rolls better than glass even at the same weight. To be honest I'm divided, on one hand I think he thought that it didn't matter and wasn't intentionally cheating but on the other I think he might not accept evidence that him being made of plastic would help his ability to roll and believe he is better than he is. I think new kinds of races should be done, kind of like how you have heavy, medium, and light weight classes in wrestling. I am also curious as to what Black Knight or Nemo has to say about this.
No, it does not turn out that plastic rolls better than glass. In fact it is quite the opposite, which is what makes this whole thing so absurd. The lover coefficient of friction the better you roll, which to all practical intends and purposes turns into "the harder you are, the better you roll"... RN3 actually has an outright disadvantage, but sand is much more forgiving of this than the smooth surfaces of the MarbelLympics.. and what do ya know.. RN3 excels at sand race and sucks at funnel race.
@@aqua3723 because of a lot of things,Red #3 is being discriminated by other marbles,some are protecting him,its sad y'know? This controversy is happening just because he's "Different"
I’ve always wondered about the hole. I saw another keychain ball the other day in a sand rally it’s color was white but can’t remember the name? RN3 is still my favorite! I think it was Super Ball ⚽️
In my experiences those who work hard and train harder make the podium. He makes weight and he’s the right diameter. He’s proven he will go the distance to get what he wants so let him race! #RedForRally
I think the news cameras should do a surprise visit to Red 3 while he is at his training camp, let's see what he does that the other marbles don't. Great video by the way.
I Just Watched The “Not A Marble” Marblementary. And Honestly, I’m Shook To My Very Core. I Never Watched Saw Him Race Personally, But Just Because He’s Different, Doesn’t Mean He Can Just Get Banned. What We Need To Know Is His Material. He’s Definitely Not Rubber. The Material Shouldn’t Even Matter. Honestly, His Size Should Bring Him Down With Small Corridors And Such. He Plays Just Like The Rest And I Am Enraged. I Just Can’t Even Believe Quiksilver’s Response. I Don’t Think I Could Root For Quiksilver’s Team Again. #justiceforrednumbertwo

Bruh, this is gold. Happy that Jelle recommended you. Lol.
This is a truly remarblable documentary.
Also something got me thinking about what Quicksilver said, about RN3 not telling anyone that he was not a marble. How come Jelle knew? My theory is RN3 told Jelle, and Jelle gave him all the tests to see if he was allowed, it's obvious that RN3 passed each test, or he wouldn't of been allowed. And RN3 asked Jelle to not reveal that he's not a marble to the public or fellow racers. So what RN3 said was true he knew that he would be judged, and those who are bitter about losing to him would use that as an excuse.
give this man a medal
best theory ive seen today :D
Thats...very accurate
If that were true, why didn't RN3 mention it in his interview? More dishonesty and cover-ups! RN3 is NOT A ROLL MODEL!!!
Jelle sounded like he wasn't 100% sure though
Jelle has the final say if RN3 can race. Screw you Quicksilver
I support Red No. 3. In fact, to show my support I always wear a Red No. 3 Livestrong Wristband.
I honestly would if these were a thing!
Rn3 for life
Michael Phelps has unusual ratio for upper/lower body length that benefits him in the pool and nobody questions whether he should be allowed to swim. RN3 might have some natural talents and benefits, but they come with weaknesses. RN3 had two courses in 2017 that were disastrously bad for him causing him to DNF 3 times out of 4 races on them (and give up a massive lead, settling for 11th in the 4th race). He's the right size and weight. And glass marbles might have slightly different performance characteristics too if more of their mass is towards or away from the middle of their frame due to the various styling processes...
Side note: this is such sour grapes - someone is consistently winning so clearly he's cheating! Same issue happens for Savage Speeders who have been suffering baseless doping allegations - which is especially galling when you consider that they're considerably weaker at finesse competitions that make up a good chunk of the Marbleympics. And let's face it, there's a number of marbles who consistently do poorly as well but we aren't talking about what their natural disadvantages might be.
Well said, forgottenfamily. I watched RN3 through the 17 and 18 seasons. He has a niche - Sand Rally with NO obstacles. He is not great at other events, and if you throw in obstacles, like in the 17 season, it becomes blatantly obvious that is not his forte either. If it is discovered that materials have certain advantages in specific events, then it is the team coaches that are to blame. They should use that material on their teams. In human Olympics, you don't see sprinters' body builds running marathons, or shot putters, pole vaulting. Marbles come in many different materials (www.britannica.com/topic/marble-toy), and should be allowed to compete where they shine. Glass in not the original marble either. How do you think you got your name - marble. Embrace the wonders of glass, and if you can't get over not being great at Sand Rally, don't do that event; only play when you can be a winner. If you want to do Sand Rally, do it; enjoy it; stop whining.
Lol....u really have a strong opinion for a marble scandal
@@elymihai1981 It is amazing how children are able to immerse themselves in hot wheel worlds, lego worlds, or a marble world. As adults, we lose (or deny) that astonishing capability only to complain about reality. I think Jelle has found the perfect balance between that wonderful immersion into the imagination, and maturity; not taking it too far, but taking it far enough. It is fun being able to play like a kid again.... LOL
Very good point. #ScrewQuicksilver
I dunno who this "Michael Phelps" guy is, I think you're referring to Marble Felps, historically the best marble pool sports champion of all time.
This channel and the Marblelympics is most creative thing I think I’ve ever seen on RUclips
I completely agree. The amount of time taken in production to make not only a race video but also a MARBLE SPORTS SCANDAL DOCUMENTARY... I think i'm equally in-awe and entertained.
This is probably the best documentary I've seen!
Dragon's Egg is my second favorite and when he stood up for Red I was very happy.
Also, screw you Quicksilver.
Quicksilver was obviously jealous of Red Number 3's ability.
He's standing up for the integrity of the race, while he can be pompous at times, he, like all racers, wants what's best for the sport.
Didn't like Quicksilver in the 2017 Rally already, such a dick.
I wonder what skeletons Quicksilver has in his closet. He talks as if he’s trying to hide something...
Stop it! Quick always try his best to win!
These bigots against him are disgusting. Quicksilver is honestly just a racist. During the 2018 sand marble rally’s first race he pushed RN3 off the course on purpose! You could tell there was malicious intent. Quicksilver should have been suspended a race for endangering RN3’s life. I’m surprised by the lack of coverage this got on MSPN. Is MSPN paid off? I demand an investigation into the matter.
Mr. Wednesday you had the opportunity to say “Marble Luther king” and didn’t take it; you sir disgust me.
On other matters: yes, fuck Quicksilver
They're all chainphobic. If he feels in his heart hes a marble then we have to accept that.
So this is what racism is if ur not human. But seriously, this material thing only became a rule like thing after RN3 was found not to be a marble. Quicksilver went a bit too far in my opinion, and of course Phoenix is upset. He came 2nd in 2018. But that shouldn't give marbles an excuse to discriminate against marbles like him. I hope we can get to the bottom of this
@@cinemarodvega language. The Hashtag is #ScrewQuicksilver
And no, I don't think they are paid off. MSPN was focusing on the scandal, not RN3's performance or rivalries. But #ScrewQuicksilver
I say, don't get bitter, get better. Red is only good on sand, and there's only so far you can go specializing in one variety of the sport. Instead of looking for a reason to discredit their own failings, the marbles against him should train harder, and get on his level.
Nick Currie - No amount of training can turn a human into a horse. That's why horses can't compete in human races. No amount of training can turn a marble into a keychain. I say suspend him indefinitely until the rules are clarified. RN3 is NOT A ROLL MODEL!!!
L. D. BriQ It's red #3's dream. He should be able to compete. It's not his fault that he was born a keychain. Besides, he became the weight of an actual marble.
Lol they all got beaten by a stage obstacle
Brownie Pug I don't think he deserves to be banned. But some punishment is in order. Whether it's a suspension or even just a fine.
L. D. BriQ red #3 getting in trouble is like an afican American not allowed to play basketball
I actually went to school with Quicksilver and I can tell you that he's always been a jealous, bitter and most of all lazy marble. Sure he had the talent to easily beat us back in the day, but he never put the work in. As he rose through the ranks you could tell that his natural rolling ability would only get him so far. It's sad to see what kind of a sportsman he has become but honestly, I'm not surprised.
All the best RN3, you've earned it man.
Did he also talk down on other marbles? I heard from some marbles in the pub that he's been like that to his competitors
@@kono_ryu Oh absolutely. He spoke to all other marbles like he was their self appointed king. The arrogance of that horrible marble was shocking. Even at a young age.
@@Az_1987 There's another rumor I heard about Snowy going to school there at some point as well, but DAMN. The audacity of Quicksilver is something else... Does he have a God complex or something?
@@kono_ryu yeah i was with him in 4th grade and it seemed like he was trying to look down on people (And was also very mean to keychain marbles just sayin)
@@chewiegetsamedal2614 wait really? Even as a kid he's already like that? This behavior is something you learn from adults, so do you think his parents are somewhat similar?
It was touching to see noble competitors like Comet and Dragon's Egg come out in support. It was also nice to see RN3 respond to the situation with such grace. That will always make him a glass act in my book.
Ain't no rule says a dog can't play basketball
Dogs gotta be enrolled in the school, or have one year of college before nba. But at parks, sure 😌
There is nothing in the rules saying we cannot kill and eat that dog.
lukeskylicker I think that’d be a flagrant foul
Ain't no rule.
What I'm trying to say is even though there isn't a rule prohibiting R#3 from competing that doesn't mean he should be allowed to compete on that basis alone.
Also, it's a reference to a webcomic called xkcd.
There would be if a dog were much better than people at basketball
Me and a couple of people watched this in a group call a while back. It was a roller coaster of emotions, highlighted with one of them questioning themselves of why they're getting invested in the life and times of a marble.
The production value is suprisingly very good.
Can we then talk about superball not being a marble too...

Also to those who think RN3 was cheating by not telling anyone he's not a marble, how come jelle knew then? I say Rn3 told jelle before he's started racing, and jelle accepted him so long as he was tested and cleared to race, which he was and still is. So what RN3 said was true he decided not to reveal the fact that he was a keychain, so that the competitors and fans didn't judge him as weird, or use that as an excuse to call him a cheater. Rn3 is an honest, hardworking and humble racer, he doesn't deserve all these scandals and accusations, in my mind so long as jelle clears him to race he's technically a marble.
What is this rabbit hole I’ve fallen down?
...I should be working, but I find myself scrolling down the comments...and getting involved
Welcome to the marble racing community
I dont know exactly why i love this... But i love this... ;-) This is great :) Psychedelic...
Came into marble racing thanks to John Oliver, just catching up with things. This was an excellent watch, thank you so much! Keep rolling!
Darnok X glad you're here!
For me it was the other way round. Marble racing brought me to John Oliver.
He’s a funny guy.
Same. Watching John Oliver and now I'm obsessed. Go Crazy Cats Eyes!🐱
I asked this to someone else before but didn't get an answer. Where did John Oliver mention Jelle's Marble Runs? Is it on RUclips?
@@607 it might be on RUclips? I saw it on his HBO show Last Week Tonight. He was complaining about the lack of new sports to watch, then mentioned marble racing and how he was the new sponsor.
The rest of the marble should be thankful of red number 3, he has brought attention to their league along with excitement and a determination to win because he races like Dale Earnhardt was reincarnated and came back as red number 3. At this point the league would not be the same without red number 3.
Let's hope RN3 never bets on his own races ...
Ok that would be bad
#stopmarblesegregation if you can compete, you can compete
Dont use #marblejustice to justify cheating. He aint a marble. He wasn't made as a marble. He isn't glass like the others (except superball who should be disqualified as well). Let's call a spade a spade #givethemarblesafairgo #drugtest
I think we should encourage more marble diversity. Maybe find a metal marble? As long as the weight is the same, let them race!
I think tests need to be done outside the marblelympics to determine how much of an effect different materials have. Run 1000 glass, 1000 clay, 1000 metal, 1000 like rn3 etc... see if there is a difference and only if its non existent or very negligable allow rn3 and superball to compete. I hope its negligable but fair is fair.
prove if theres a difference, if there isnt, let them in. if there is, make a secondary league. red is a racer, to strip him of his passion because of how he was made is unjust.
Jaffa Smokie BOOH! If he thought what he was doing was right he would’ve told everybody about the truth, and not hide it away! There are completely different standards for them keychains, and if one is allowed how many more? Can we get larger hollow balls if they way the same as a marble? Red Number 3’s composition is not only different with its material but density as well. Marble creators have a specific method of making marbles, how can we assume red number 3 was made even close to the same way? I don’t know about you but no marble and all of a sudden “gain ground” as quick as red 3 to the point that he’s gotten known for it. Who’s to say that all his talents aren’t from his training but from his composition.
I still can't get over how great the name Rick O'Shea is!
Duh... I just got it!!! Years later!!!!!
Judge a marble not by the material of their construction but by the quality of their spherical shape and their mass.
Marbles made from wood, stone, carbon fiber, ceramics, etc. should all be allowed to compete. Whether or not they were originally designed as marbles as long as they make dimensions and weight.
If a metal ball bearing wants to compete and he’s within regs is it really fair to forbid him from competing?
Here's the deal buddy, have you ever read "The MarBell Curve"? It's about how different materials can impact a Ball's ability. Some good, some bad. In normal activities, they don't matter that much. But, in competitions, that's a different story. Keychainers have OBVIOUS evidence that they have an unfair advantage over all opponents. Not to be a Marble Materialist or Conspirator, but these Keychainers MUST be downplayed.
@@iagreebut5157 More people need to be aware of The MaBell Curve. I dont care if they call me a material supremacist. I know what i am. The bottom line is, if you actually care about marblehood and the problems different groups of marbles face, you have to address them truthfully even if it hurts.
I love RN3 and i hope they determine negligable advantage after testing so he can compete. But you cant just ignore differences between materials.
I agree. Fact is even if the material makes one marble a little more adept at one competition doesn't mean a thing because, as we've seen with red, though he's particularly well off at sand races he's lacking in other areas.
Allowing other marble types into the races could allow for some really interesting match ups and maybe even cause the marble sports leagues to shine.
Just think if the marblympics had different material balls competing? How much more interesting that could possibly make things?
@@iagreebut5157 I love you for this
@@iagreebut5157 what advantage? the plastic used to make RN3 makes it hard to travel on sand so in reality its harder for RN3 to win and well look at superball and lollopop
I support Rn3 he doesn't deserve all this negativity, jelle please give him every test to determine if he is allowed to complete right down to the material check.
For some reason, this popped up very Late for me, Like over a year, but I'm a big RN3 fan, and had to speak- first of, if there IS a difference of materiel, that COULD be an unfair advantage, but that does not seem to be the case, RN3 is an actual glass marble, same weight, size, ratio, who just happened to start out as a keychain- second, weight could indeed be a factor, a slightly heavier marble COULD be going faster than others, but RN3 has a HOLE- he actually probably has a fractional amount Less Weight than other marbles, plus in his chosen event, the Sand Rally, a hole could get clogged or snagged on a tiny scale- making RN3's victories actually MORE Impressive if that's the case -- I'm sticking by the Legend, RN3 -- excellently done documentary btw to all who made this, and as quite a few others have commented- screw you Quicksilver
I'm actually in possession of orange number 5 (she's still chained up in the slammer after an unfortunate grand theft conviction after holding up a gas station several years ago) assuming there is some relationship between the two marbles, I can tell you red number 3 is made of either some kind of acrylic, plastic, or resin, with a very high polish and definitely isn't glass. The material is very very smooth and doesn't even seem to collect dust; things just slide off it. I suspect red number 3 doesn't collect as much sand while rolling down the track, which reduces his rolling drag because he's not physically pulling the grains up out of the tarmack as he rolls like the other balls are. Likewise because he doesn't stick to the sand it would explain why red no. 3 often goes high or even rolls off of banked turns in all the races, since the sand doesn't drag him as much.
Yknow what, introduce wooden marbles, 3d printed marbles, carbon fiber marbles for pete sake, only the diameters and weight count
Why stop there? Jawbreakers, ball bearings, those mouse balls from 90s computers, sphere shaped rocks, the sky's the limit without a proper classification of what a marble is
We could even add Blue Number two!
@@OBGrimey It's implied in the video that there are parameters to be followed before the contest. Competitors have been wieghed and their diameters measured for them to be allowed compete. So I don't think any sphered object can just be allowed to compete. I think the fault lies with the organizers who didn't take material into account. RN3 followed competetion rules and regulations at that time, but we'll see if the federation will do something to update this. It's quite an interesting turn for marble sports.
I think there should be lower and upper limits for coefficient of friction as well. If hollow spheres of precision ground hardened steel went up against wooden marbles in a funnel race, it would be slaughter to the degree that we couldn't show it in hours where kids might still be awake..
Look I'm as invested as all of you but can we just stop to think how beautifully ridiculous the word of of marble racing has become. Like this is so much fun and I don't want to break the illusion but like please tell we're all frickin peeing our pants at how silly this all is. Like there's a federation apparently. Gosh I love this part of RUclips. #LetRN3Race
I just want to say something: i find it absolutely amazing how you all made this big of a thing out of marbles and hard work. It is just awesome. A news network, rally, marblelympics. All the work that has gone into all of this. It is just epic. And I really love watching it.
Being more bouncy is a con in a sand marble rally - you can fall out of the track more easily. Also, having a hole in himself makes him disbalanced, and sand can fell into the hole. You can't really control that, so any changes into weight distribution affects the performance. Red Number 3 overcome this disadvantages by really hard work and training.
Sorry but the difference in the material can easily explain all his race comback. Also the sand doesn't have the same effect on glass and plastic. It stick more on the glass what make then less fast than rn3. And is the weight taken with his old empty or full of sand? If its empty than the sand give him a little more weight what can result with a better traction. With all the hard work im pretty sure he been able to take advantage of the disbalance with the sand making it able to give him a slingshot effect incressing his speed.
That make him a cheater and create a real advantage in his favor.
Sorry if it shock some people. But its like the trans in the sport. They have a physic advantage even if they think they are a girl. RN3 have a physic advantage even if he think he is a marble.
But you need to consider that he was able to overcome his disadvantages. There was a South African runner, that had both of his legs amputated, and he was one of the best runners in the planet. There is a Polish table tennis player without one of her hands, and she still is prime player in the world. They have been able to overcome their disabilities to compete at the highest level of their respective sports, and this is exactly what Red Number 3 did as well. He overcame his stability problems and instead of letting it affect his performance in a negative way, he turned it into his weapon.
@@ZdzichuWiertara96 but his situation doesnt give him disadvantage. Its more like you put a F1 car into a stock car race and say both are car. They are just made differently. Or put Paquio into the octogone with Rousey and say they have the same weight. And also paquio have a disadvantage he is older and he is not a mma or ufc fighter just a boxer.
If you look into the 2018 final race et 3:38 you can see that RN3 is a lot less dirty than other marble because he is made with differente material. The dirt made the other opponent slower what give the chance to RN3 to come back.
Dont forget what make this video very nice is the fact that even if you cheer for a team or a marble they have all the same odds to win because they are all the same except for the color. Since RN3 is not and it seem to give him a net advantage specialy on longer race the odds are not the same anymore. And at the end its less enjoyable when you already knowthd ends of the race or season because its rigged.
If every marble was differente i would say fine. But since every other marble are the same material, same size, same weight, same evrrything then you can't keep one differente into the game.
What it gonna happen is very simple. First people who are not fan of RN3 will stop watching the sand marble raply because there marble have no chance, then only RN3 fan will stay. But more he gonne win, more it gonne get bored, because cheering someone when it have no challenge is boring. So they also gonna loose fan of RN3 slowly but surely. Keep it in the rally race if maybe what gonna kill there next season.
RN3 is a racecar in a horse race, any "disadvantage" is negligible for the most part, his material gives him a leg up on racers who genuinely worked to get to where they are today
Look at his qualifier for 2017, he can jump over parts of the track and gain half a dozen positions. NO other marbles were able to do that ever, it's a unfair advantage, which has led to him being dominant in every race he was in. He needs to be removed from sand marble rally 2020 as he is, not a marble.
I was fortunate enough to see him before the 750 foot race. The fittest I’ve ever seen a marble. The white dot, the perfect black 3 to go along with that shiny red color gleaming off of the sun. I thought to myself “ boy, what are we going to see today?”. He was the executioner and the other marbles were being led to the gas chamber by him. I ran into Brent Musburger after that race. He told me “I always thought the first Ali / Frazier fight was the greatest thing I ever saw. What I saw from Red #3 today topped that”.
I just watched a 15 minute documentary on a marble.
How do I feel?
Quite frankly I feel that I can actually go to sleep now.

@@iagreebut5157 look at superball and lollipop
I would love to see some "Marble Science" testing to see if red no. 3 is actually faster.
But the name is the Sand MARBLE rally, you need to be a marble to compete. It is in the name, Red No. 3 had to know. Didn't he ever realize he was the ONLY one that wasn't a marble.
I understand he trained hard and he probably would be a very good racer if he was a normal marble, but we will never know. Every race he is in from now on will have questions whether he has an advantage or not. A player in football/baseball/any sport can be great and train all day every day, but if they are found using drugs or illegal ways to give themselves an advantage there are consequences.
Do the marbles sign contracts for the Sand Marble Rally? are there any formal rules? What is the cutoff for types of marbles? Is only accepting one type of marbles discriminating or should there be different leagues? I'm very excited to learn more about this story and how it will change Marble Racing history
But that's the thing, imagine banning black people from running just because "what they are made of". Professional sport is all about the biggest advantage you can have within the rules. The next genetics, the best diet which doesn't cross the arbitrary "drug" line, etc. Working hard is a necessity to get to the top, but it's not a big differentiator once you're at the top.
Furthermore, just because something is a "white people Olympics" doesn't mean it's right to discriminate against others. Especially when you come from a minority like red 3 did, there is simply no field for professional keychain racers. We should embrace diversity in sports and if that means we will see less "traditional" marbles win, then so be it.
@@DavidMulderOne I think the argument is not that RN3 is a different colour, because every marble is a different design.
The real issue is that RN3 is not of a 'type' or even species that should be accepted into a rally which by name is for marbles.
Maybe a similar comparison is would you let a greyhound run in a horse race? No, because they are not the same animal. And neither should the competition allow a former keychain be allowed in a marble race. It's pretty black and white.
@@DavidMulderOne while I agree with you that ethnicity should not affect whether or not you can compete, i think you made the wrong comparison: this is more like a male competing in the female category, he obviously has an unfair advantage over others. Just because you identify as female that doesn't allow you to compete with them in the normal Olympics. Of course this comparison is not perfect, and marblelympics rules might be different, so all we can do is wait for a decision on whether or not RN3 should compete with other marbles. Personally, I am a big fan of his, so I hope that he can, but it's up to the judges to decide whether or not he has an unfair advantage
@@giovablackops98 you just said he shouldn't compete, then you said you hope he can. Quit it with the double standards mate.
I may have "outed" RN3 on a comment on this very channel months ago. I hope the reddit post didn't come from someone who saw my comment (where I presented the same evidence), because I never intended to discredit the marble. I regret posting that comment now, RN3 deserves to compete.
The SMR already welcomes marbles of all materials- not every marble is made of glass! And not every glass marble is alike! If we started getting into materials and traction, we'd be here all day! Scarcely anyone would be able to compete!
My heart goes out to RN3. Clearly, he's been training so hard for this moment. And from such a young age too. His family should be proud of him.
This is so good. I just discovered marble racing a couple days ago and red#3 became my instant favourite. Now I don't know what to believe. Thank you for doing what you do and sharing it with us:)
Say what you want, do what you want.. Red Number 3 has proven himself best a lot of times.. You cant take his fans away from him by any controversy.. He is the legend and will always be.. Love you RN3.. ❤❤
Red Number 3 Forever!
A critical issue: given the same diameter, weight is not as much an issue as weight distribution. If Red #3 has a heavier core (metal?) and a lighter outer shell (plastic), that is a real, significant advantage. Less kinetic energy goes into rotational motion and more into translatory motion, allowing higher velocities with the same potential energy at the start of the course. Being slippery is not an issue here, but weight distribution clearly is. Of course, tests need to be conducted.
Science bi#$%
bowling balls are a prime example of ME's argument
On the one hand, this is such ugly discrimination against RN3. People are trying to tear down a champion by retroactively re-defining the sport to exclude him. But on the other hand, SIZE and WEIGHT are not the only important factors. To make up the same weight, RN3 must have a dense core. That means he has lower MOMENT OF INERTIA, which makes him more nimble on the track. Very useful for sand rally where you have to speed up and slow down to navigate turns and obstacles. That same advantage becomes a disadvantage on straight runs like the 5m sprint or hurdles, explaining why he doesn't have crossover to the other sport events. Does this make him better or worse versus a solid glass marble? NO, it makes him DIFFERENT. He's suited to sand rally, aka natural talent, but he also works hard, trains hard, and rolls with style. He's broadening the sport, a change agent, a roll model. We are lucky to have him.
You just HAD to make that pun with "roll model"
LOLOL roll model was the best part!!!
Why am I so invested in these marble races that I actually watched this. Lol.
This is one of the most important documentaries of 2019. Edge of your seat entertainment. Bravo.
„2017 - the height of marble sports“
I beg to differ!
I support red number 3!! I was a fan of his from the start, and I was so excited to see his training and effort pay off.
He is an inspiration to all marbles and balls in general, of how to carry yourself in any sporting event, and especially how to handle controversy. Looking forward to seeing him in the future as I hope he can sustain a long career in the marble sports arena.
Man, this commentary is too underrated!

You know, I noticed the hole on Red No. 3 about 2 races in and honestly just shrugged it off. I kind of thought he was some type of bead perhaps? But mostly it didn't matter, I thought it was cool that someone different was allowed to compete. I will admit that I also noticed how well he was doing, and part of me did/does wonder if his material and/or construction gave him the advantage, but when you look at the spread of many races, you clearly see that some competitors slip into a groove sometimes. In the end, I like many others would be curious about the science of it... but I would also be sad to learn there really was an edge over the others on the sand :/ i would accept the truth but it would be a bummer to say the least.
Man, I had no idea there was such heated rivalries between the keychain and marble communities. I love Red Number 3 and think he's done a phenomenal job training and it shows. Quicksilver has some fair points but I don't think they're coming from a place of fairness or justice. He's just bitter he lost to RN3, which is understandable, but c'mon, guys. Let's be mature about this!
It's funny looking back at this how Quicksilver finished 11th in the 2019 SMR. Just goes to prove R#3 was right and Quicksilver was just jealous. He doesn't win every race and he even DNF a race. Does that mean the other marbles that beat R#3 in 6 out of 8 races are cheating and/or are not marbles either?
The effort and thought that went into this makes my day
This just in: Red #3 also won't be hosting the Oscars this year due to some glass marblephobic tweets he made three years ago.
He referred to Quicksilver as “Dicksilver” and inferred that Quicksilver worked in a glory hole in college.
Don't you slander red like that homie.
@@DOGfacedMAN that was honestly a "Glory Funnel".
haha ill be waiting for the fanfic
Bye 😭😭😭
now i understand the t-shirt.... what a legend
RN3 is a hero. Nobody would watch the Sand Marble Rally if he wasn't competing. Filthy, sad jealousy!! ❤
This is the definition of a marble from some of the different top online English Dictionary's
A) A small ball of coloured glass or similar material
B) A little ball made of stone, baked clay, glass, porcelain, agate, or steel
C) A little ball made of a hard substance (such as glass)
D) Anything resembling or suggesting marble in hardness, smoothness, coldness, coloration, etc.

The only thing that disappoints me is that it took me over a year to find this. Very well done.
Current controversies in sports:
-Trans women competing in women sports
-non marble competing in marble sports
Surely we all know which is the most important.
@@hopeprevails3213 marbles
Without a doubt marbles.
I am a Red number 3 fan from the future! I come with great news, the legend has taken 1st place!
10mins "I removed my keychain" - ouch! That sounds like it must have been really painful! Red 3 is a hero and should be applauded for their brave and noble sacrifice, not condemned by the hateful materialists! Red 3 could have had an easy life and seen the world, transported in comfort by his human as he accompanied them on their travels. Instead, he yanked off his own keychain (double ouch) and commenced on a programme of strict training and drastic weight-loss to become the athlete we all know and love today. Honour his sacrifice and silence the haters!
his hole never healed
I need more videos in the Jelle's Marble Runs cinematic universe
this video made me hate quicksilver even more
TBNR Purplecactus You can thank MSPN for giving him the ‘bad guy’ role.
i honestly just hate the voice they gave quicksilver. it's so obnoxious.
@@jclkaytwo Yeahh, he speaks so slowly and makes it seem like he's reading from the script. So annoying!
@@jasot it also sounds like he has a permanently snotty nose.
Why? Red 3 shouldn't be allowed. Its a marble race, not a sphere. Every thing quicksilver said was right, you snowflakes cant handle the truth
I giggled the whole time I watched this. And the comments...you people are gold 😅
Quicksilver just being salty, also how can you break a rule that isn’t actually a rule?
Love it. Probably the best video yet.
As a die hard RN3 fan I have to say it seems a little bit of sour grapes from the other competitors. People always look to bring down the greats.
Can't wait......
Dude, this is just like a real life sport event haha i'm so enjoy it!! Btw long live RN3!!
I had no idea the controversy went this deep.
More international marbles should be included in the races, manufacturing material is not an issue!
LOL .... This is Awesome! Great job guys!
As it turns out, plastic rolls better than glass even at the same weight. To be honest I'm divided, on one hand I think he thought that it didn't matter and wasn't intentionally cheating but on the other I think he might not accept evidence that him being made of plastic would help his ability to roll and believe he is better than he is. I think new kinds of races should be done, kind of like how you have heavy, medium, and light weight classes in wrestling. I am also curious as to what Black Knight or Nemo has to say about this.
Notice that ´lego´ logo on Superball? ;)
No, it does not turn out that plastic rolls better than glass. In fact it is quite the opposite, which is what makes this whole thing so absurd. The lover coefficient of friction the better you roll, which to all practical intends and purposes turns into "the harder you are, the better you roll"... RN3 actually has an outright disadvantage, but sand is much more forgiving of this than the smooth surfaces of the MarbelLympics.. and what do ya know.. RN3 excels at sand race and sucks at funnel race.
@@andersjjensen your right take a marble with stones on it and race it down a funnel you will noitce that it gos down pretty fast
Same
I stand in support of Red number 3, he's from humble origins and came from a life of struggle. These other marbles are just jealous of his victory.
I love Red#3! I love it when Greg Woods gets excited and surprised by him and let's out that little chuckle, while commenting on him taking the lead!
I love interdimensional cable thanks Rick!
Red Number 3 is a marble just like the rest of them. If material matters, then you should rename the event to the GLASS Sand Marble Rally.
Shouldn't it be Sand Glass Marble Rally...?
I actually cried while watching this ;-;
which part?
@@aqua3723 since the beggining
@@secondopinion5529 why?
@@aqua3723 because of a lot of things,Red #3 is being discriminated by other marbles,some are protecting him,its sad y'know? This controversy is happening just because he's "Different"
this is spectacular
I’ve always wondered about the hole. I saw another keychain ball the other day in a sand rally it’s color was white but can’t remember the name?
RN3 is still my favorite!
I think it was Super Ball ⚽️
I love the interviews with the marbles. ^^ Marbulous ^^
Before they first started letting African Americans compete in mixed tournaments, we got language like this! Stop marble apartheid! Stop segregation!
The interviews are priceless lol
In my experiences those who work hard and train harder make the podium. He makes weight and he’s the right diameter. He’s proven he will go the distance to get what he wants so let him race! #RedForRally
“Even in defeat, he exuded victory.”
Just because he wasn't a marble at birth doesn't make him not a marble now. Let him compete. This is so cruel.
DNA matters
I think the news cameras should do a surprise visit to Red 3 while he is at his training camp, let's see what he does that the other marbles don't. Great video by the way.
The Caster Semenya of marble racing.
Also funny that the background was a snooker table rather than a pool table.
I Just Watched The “Not A Marble” Marblementary. And Honestly, I’m Shook To My Very Core. I Never Watched Saw Him Race Personally, But Just Because He’s Different, Doesn’t Mean He Can Just Get Banned. What We Need To Know Is His Material. He’s Definitely Not Rubber. The Material Shouldn’t Even Matter. Honestly, His Size Should Bring Him Down With Small Corridors And Such. He Plays Just Like The Rest And I Am Enraged. I Just Can’t Even Believe Quiksilver’s Response. I Don’t Think I Could Root For Quiksilver’s Team Again. #justiceforrednumbertwo
Keep Red in the league, but possibly better explain the rules for the SMR.
When the interview of dragons egg started, I lost it lmao too good
I lost it at Rick O'Shea's bow tie
