Gary Robbins' Backyard 100 Miler - THE BIG CHILL
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 дек 2020
- In August 2020, Gary Robbins set out to complete a mountain route in his backyard of Chilliwack, BC, covering 109 miles / 176 km of mountain terrain with over 33,000 ft / 10,000 metres of climbing and descent. I followed along with Gary's adventure, both to document it as a filmmaker, and to help support him on his crew and as a pacer.
This was filmed on the ancestral, traditional, and unceded territory of the Stó:lō People.

"This was filmed on the ancestral, traditional, and unceded territory of the Stó:lō People." I love seeing this recognition in your video description!
Crazy how we're exploring space but still finding stuff here!
Gary seems like such a humble and good dude. Glad he was able to accomplish this under the 40 hour goal he had set. Congrats, man. Also, well done with the filming, Jeff. Really enjoyed this video.
I'm not crying, you're crying! Oh good lord, this internet and that finish!!!!🤌🏽😭❤️
The Cascades are the most beautiful mountain range in the world.
“This isn’t my first rodeo”……Classic!
Said it before and I’ll say it again... The production quality in your videos is top tier. Another cracking film, Jeff.
This was bittersweet to me. On one hand a great personal triumph. On the other hand I very much dislike people moving into areas and then wanting to change that area to meet their goals and disregarding the goals of others. If someone lives in an area for solitude there simply is no other way but to destroy their dreams while bringing in the masses to meet your dreams. While I understand things in life change continuously it still leaves a bad taste with me. I see that a lot in rural areas where people from cities/suburbs feel like they're discovering an area - no you're not, if you weren't there first then you didn't discover anything, you want to exploit an area. Keeping it the way you found it seems like it'd be the biggest success to me. That's just my opinion.
Beautiful film Jeff, you captured the emotions just right without overdoing it! And what an achievement from all of you, Gary, you Anne and Sam!
reviewing this one more time, i have maybe a stupid innocent question... here goes: what about doing the route the other way round? having the hardest part first and then the easier 50km for the final...
"In ultra-running in general, you're going to suffer, but what's really special is if you can suffer in beautiful places" Great quote !! (
Not only are you an incredible athlete but also a story teller, filmmaker and editor.
Very emotional video! One of the things I like the most is the life metaphor: you walk your way, you struggle, you slow down, speed up again and then you need to find your route. But most importantly, in all these steps, you know someone is always with you: your friends, your family, and your kids! Today they are supporting you and tomorrow you will support them! The running community you created is amazing! An impressive accomplishment for Gary, a superhero!
One of the most emotional documentaries I've seen on YT. Thanks Jeff for this amazing job. You manage to make us feel the huge success this was for Gary, and the whole team, of course.
Thoroughly enjoyed this.
Gary just blows my mind. Such an inspiring and intelligent human being.
OMG, this quote right at
As a Brit I always struggle with this sort of vid as it occasionally comes across v self-promoting and congratulatory. Once I accepted that this is simply a cultural and stylistic difference the photography, location and story did grab me. I had to remind myself that the filming of this thing makes the thing itself so much harder. Huge congrats to the entire team (I'm sure it was much bigger than I think). It is a stunning piece of documentary film making.
What an incredible story. Masterpiece video. Scenery. Music… everything.
I'm going to take a different tack and discuss everything BUT the event. To me, the story is much, much bigger than any event. It begins with Gary and his passion, a passion so evident it pervades the whole video. And again, it begins outside of The Big Chill with family and friends. You can see the devotion to family and the friends devotion to Gary. That sort of devotion comes from mutual respect. Gary's passion for the sport is obviously genuine and it is intoxicating. Watching him persevere makes us believe that we too can accomplish great things. I'll never run a 100 miler, but part of me believes I could. Thanks Gary, for the motivation and for sharing your passion. It truly is intoxicating.
