It really hurts when you are 7'3" and you fall! I went down three times in this video. If any of the crashes made you cringe or laugh, please like this video! It will help my ego and wounds feel better 😂
Don’t worry we got you!😂😂
Don't worry nick,I've had some crashes in my xc season 😂
I love that you used m.a.a.d city in one of the crashes
Can't say you've never DNF'd anymore ;)
We got your 6 nick big brother
Nick: I don't believe in DNF's
Also Nick 1 minute later: I can't do this
it's ok to DNF if you are bleeding profusely
well stictly speaking that wasnt a race - so your DNDNF still stands... but great video. Maybe though you should have ended with a challenge for someone else to take this on
@@nicksymmonds profusely bleeding???
Smashed that Subscribe button!!!😆 Great content Nick!
I mean, you would have been signing your own DNR if you carried on after that last crash
How many former world class athletes would show themselves doing crazy thing like this? Not too many that I have ever encountered. Kudos to you Nick for showing us regular folks that even elite athletes can be humbled by some circumstances. Love you attitude about this and other crazy challenges.
Yes
I have a world record for you to break: fastest mile hopping on one leg.
The current world record has been held for 6 years by Peter Nestler. His time was 18:25.
I’m sure you can beat that.
Idk if u understand how hard it is to even go 100m on one leg😂
Lmao I'm just imagining a dude with a huge drumstick of a leg on one side and a twig on the other
Give me a year
Kylie Benson really? You think we have another year?
Weak.
Evan Powers LMAO
As someone born with spring stilts this is a huge inspiration to me, thanks Nick
You were _born_ with spring stilts? Lol :D
Emil yeah he worded it weird, I guess he meant he had to wear them all his life
@@jorgethecreator4139 ...
Jorge the creator i think he is being sarcastic
Jorge the creator lol
"Something in this box may actually allow me to break the world record"
*Opens box*
*Alberto Salazar jumps out*
Brandon Stasulli i literally laughed out loud 😂😂
HA!!!!
Hahahaahah
Opens box finds epo and testosterone
You should put the vaporflys on the stilts.
Genius
Ahh yes double bounce
hhahahahahaha
LOL I'd watch that
LMFAOOOOO YES
Honestly nick is already so good he does not need them
Thank you!!
Those stilts are incredibly exhausting to wear.
As a 4:20 miler I was beat trying to run for like one minute.
Not to mention an incredible risk to injury unless you are expert.
Facts
No he need to beat the legend bolt!
True
At the 200m mark you could see him check his watch and you could tell by his smile that he was thinking:
*This ain't happening*
Fiddlesticks this was funny 😂

“Ryan this was a horrible idea for a video”😂
it really was tho lol
@@nicksymmonds what are the trick videos called
I know😝
I’m just laying bed like 👁👄👁
ツBurt same
ツBurt same 👁👄👁
😂😅
all of those people were like, " IS that the olympion Nick Symmonds, and what the heck is he doing". Edit: oh wow that’s a lot of likes
15 pounds on each leg?? That's an incredibly good workout
He can run sub 3:43
I have owned a pair of stilts like these for a few years, I knew immediately this was going to end bad for Nick. It takes weeks of practice to run well without falling.
I feel so bad for laughing but the second and third wipeout had me in tears, you're a trooper
Great to see you having so much FUN! Wish more people took this approach to running/athletics in general.
Nick: I don't believe in DNFs
Also Nick: aaaaaaaaaaaand... I called it
Imagine Eluid Kipchogi running a marathon in those.
Talish Nauth oh my goodness
Nike Zoom Alphabionic Next%s
Prosthetic legs
still faster than me when I run with normal legs.
Him: something in this box may help me win the world record
Me: So YOU stole my heroine!!
These are my favorite kind of videos! So inspirational how you make running so much fun, gets me motivated every day, thank you for everything you do
This is gonna be another million-view video, great work, Nick!
I love the energy in nick's videos
Must be the Run Gum ;)
I love your optimism, "that is the one-kilometer world record on jump stilts, still got it!" Amazing video:)
Dang nick can run 2 miles faster then I can run one
Jack Graddy bruh
*than
Appreciate you not using your face plants in the thumbnail, it made them much more unexpected and hilarious.
Dropping a like for the dedication that goes into your videos.
Might be my favorite video😂😂 those falls were HILARIOUS!
Now I know the challenges you tall people face each day!!
Nick Symmonds exactly! it’s a long ways down from up there!
this is what we need right now, stay safe everybody just because things are opening up doesn’t mean it’s safe!
A ship in the harbor is safe, but that's not what ships are built for....
Nick Symmonds I’ve also seen a lot of ships wreck all over their harbor. Nothing’s safe, yet we’ve survived.
That looks exhausting but also exhilarating! Impressive Nick! Keep it up and you'll do it!
They definitely give a big advantage. We have school boy that competes against us and he ran a 1:44 under 17. So if your used to run with them i think they give an advantage
Those aren't designed to run efficiently like the ones Pistorius had. Probably it would better trying the kangaroo technique.
Almost at 200,000 subscribers, keep it up Nick ur the man.
I’ve recently started using RunGum and wow let me just tell y’all if anyone is on the fence about it I highly recommend! I have been running every morning for the past two months and RunGum is just what I need to feel ready and energized!
very glad you like it!!!
what a sponsored feel to your comment Lmao
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO!!! I miss your videos so much.
When You run with that camera stick you look like some sort of space wizard with boost of technology hahhahah
I'm familiar with Nick's running career and he was a world class half miler/miler. He won several US National championships and had an awesome final kick to the finish line. I believe he made a US Olympic team in the 800 meters. He's the real deal!
I never had an opportunity to meet him. This video shows a side of him I never knew as I only saw him of TV in big races. It's the fact that he has such a great sense of humor that I appreciate! And he doesn't mind making a few pratfalls in public for the whole world to see.
Thanks for the great video!
PS, I DNFd twice when I pulled hamstring muscles!
I want those, they look so cool!
they are cool, but VERY dangerous!!
Nick Symmonds I bet
Great video nick!!!
Much respect for trying that!
This has to be one of your funniest videos yet😭 It was when you started running again after the first fall and the timing of the second fall for me
I just want to break four. Maybe I should try those!!! 😂
Four bones? 😀
@@Jameswmin OMG this made me laugh thank you
Love the videos Nick keep ‘em coming!
Those look so cool,probably not the best thing to wear for running the mile😂
About 35+ years and more than 100lbs. ago, I too ran the mile, in high school. I always used to think "there must be some way to put a springy, flexible blade in between the layers that made up the sole of your shoes. The idea being to give more push-off with each stride and make you faster, as well as to give you more endurance, as the shoes would be doing a lot of the work. It seems like I have heard of someone trying to do this, not long ago, but maybe I am wrong.
Those falls looked mega painful! You definitely earned my like 👏
Loving the videos. Great inspiration considering the circumstances were in
"I'm stronger too!!" Legit LOLed at that
i laughed my heart out really. one of your best videos. greetings from Athens/Greece
Would have gone even quicker if he had vapourfly on with the springs
Aaa wodeen legs
I'm here writing a comment around 7:45 about how awesome these are for cross-training and then suddenly you go down face first. I didn't know if I should laugh or cringe. You got guts Nick!
The 360 footage looked like you were on king kai’s planet from dragon ball z
yeah! really cool shots
Nick i feel so bad since I was lmfao as I saw you crashing everytime in those stilts xD Very brave of you though to attempt such a difficult challenge!
Next video: Hurdling with this.
You are really amazing at being deadpan when you say that with your 3:56, you didn't quite get your goal of being The King of The Mile or that 90+ first lap wasn't at pace. Usually people (besides really good actors) would sound ironic or sarcastic if they would make 3:56 seem even remotely close to 3:43. Have you thought about acting? I laughed a lot during this video so thanks for doing this, man! I respect that willingness to come up with funny ideas a lot!
Next time you should race your dog while you're on stilts! 🤣
Awesome video!! Can you do an elimination mile?? I find that race so unique and fun to watch!
FUTURE video ideas:
fastest mile running backwards: Good shot
Fastest 800 walking: Possible
Fastest Beer mile or 800: Slim chance
fastest mile in jeans: Low chance
You VS CAR 40 yard dash: depends on car
Fastest 800 or mile on treadmill: LOW, LOW, CHANCE
Your mission Nick Symmonds, should you chose to accept is to be the greatest runner in history!!!
-GOOD LUCK
all great ideas!!!
I’d say not just jeans but bell bottoms, I’m guessing prefontaine has the current record
Jason Mcmanus spencer from the athlete special set it
wow that was pretty interesting! nice video Nick!
thank you!!
Nick: We're gonna run a mile in bionic legs!
Bionic legs: I'm about to end this man's whole career.
That was a very valiant effort haha! It makes me want to try this with my partner haha 😂
as a kid i always used to run at top speed through the woods and tight playgrounds. that changed when i became 6 foot in my mid teens and fell down. falling over when big doesn't just hurt, it's deadly. if i had fallen just a few inches in any, and i mean any, direction i would have suffered serious injury or death. that was the moment i realized that i was gonna die if i kept up my favorite pass time. i tried learning parkour, but no amount of skill would save me from one small mistake. and that's all it would take to kill me. for context, back then i sprinted 18mph normally and capped at 20. (tested using recorded video and two poles exactly 10 feet apart) later i switched to sprinting only on clear straights. this was a lot safer since there were no trees, rocks, pits, ladders, poles, etc like in my previous areas. i kept this up until i needed to work absurd hours to support my family in my late teens, and had to give up almost all forms of exercise completely.
moral of the story: falling while big is no laughing matter. it's dangerous. and 6 foot is only above average, not nearly your height in this video.
This is a claim your here before nick hits 200 k pass
Hi Nick, I am a physical therapist and work with a lot of patients with prosthetic limbs. There is a huuuge energy cost for the current day prosthetics in terms of their mobility. Nothing we have current day can compare to the engineering of the human body. In terms of energy efficiency and long term loading we have the best design available. Our soft tissue structures paired with the mechanics are extremely efficient. I think Oscar did have an advantage with his running however! Awesome video btw!
7:54 is the best part
Man u did a incredible job teling us about the new technology and using them man u r hardworking
I saw the insta post and I was waiting forever on this and I'm very scared to see how this ends up, ima edit this at the end of the video lmao
Edit: well uhm, at least he got the 1,000m world record 😂, I could beat nick in some kind of race lmao.
Thanks for watching!!
Nick you are an incredible person!!
hey, you have inspired e to make my own youtube channel. When this is over I will be posting more running videos!!!
That's great to hear!!! I love youtube so much
@@nicksymmonds You should subscribe. LOL
My man dropped died😂😭😭the falls make it even better good job good entertainment
let’s play a game. every time nick says “in the back of my mind,” take a shot
I thoroughly enjoyed those wipeouts...the agony of defeat...the thrill of victory...
When you fell it looked like the Ryan yelled "everyone do the flop"
Hi nick from india i love your videos and got motivated keep going... Watched nearly 60% of you videos in just 2days
Nobody:
Elites in halo campaign:
(No one will get this...and interesting vid)
😂
Rhys Nichols Wort wort wort
Brute ships, staggered line! Ship master, they out number us 3 to 1!
"Ahhh, lohbaba!"
10:04 THAT GUY IN THE BACKGROUND IM DYING RN💀💀💀
I wanna see a SuperHuman do sports. So "yes" to Bionics.
This was such a creative idea! I've always wanted to see these things in action in a more practical application.
4:10 Me getting out of bed after LEG DAY!!!
Dude i love this video, you went down hard on that second fall xD hope your future videos go amazingly :)
The other people are like what is this man child doing
Customer: hey why is my run gum box messed up?
Mailman: Nick was here...?
Someone make a remix of nick when he fell
Wear your protections! Knees, Elbows, Wrists and helmet! I'm doing Jumping stilts for 11yrs and i still wear them (except the helmet... but i never fall now).
1) WOW, your learning curve is very good! Being able to run 5 mins is, for a beginner, a big thing!
2) If you train yourself like 30-45 mins once per week, after 3 months you should re-try (and wear knee, elbow and wrist protections!)
3) In this video, your knee supports are waaaayyyy too low! It should be right under your knee! The higher, the better!
4) If you want to do "air figures", practice them on a trampoline first!
Great video! it reminded me of myself when i started! :P
10:30. The video editing is hilarious. Lol
You earned your likes this time with those three wipeouts. Ideas for your future videos:
- blind mile (with a guide like Paralympic athletes have)
- pizza mile (slice per lap)
- strava KOM attempt
- run an 800 in mascot costume
- run down a super steep hill (like the cheese roll videos)
- 5k every hour for as long as you can go (like the ultra 5k)
- ultra 400, finish a 400 every 2 minutes for as long as you can
Please be smart when considering Nick's "never dnf" mentality.
There is bravery and persistence in that mentality for sure.. But sometimes intelligence is far more important than determination. Don't risk the rest of your running career for the sake of maintaining an arbitrary goal like this.
Sometimes the best decision is to just stop. Protect your body. Live to runanother day.
I guess the moral of the story is, find the difference between "pain" and "injury". You can run through pain.. But you should never run through injury. It's just not smart.
I would say more people hurt themselves by quitting than hurt themselves by “never dnf’ing”. But yeah, I think he makes that point by dnf’ing this mile
@@bindi123pepper123 how do you mean they hurt themselves more from quitting? Do you mean that the psychological effects of quitting are worse than the physical effects of running through physical injury?
@@williamdowling7718 In some cases yes, it comes down to a matter or pride, although logically it dosent make sense, as an athlete the drive to push ones self beyond their limits can have serious repercussions but in the moment can change everything. For example I was cheated out of the 100m, and 4x2 so i trained incredibly hard everyday without any breaks. I went from running 13.32, to 11.8 within the span of a week. After that I came in 2nd place in the mens conference for 100m. However I tore my hip flexor, later I would go on to run 11.57, then 10.9 but never again, what I gained was the speed I needed fulled by anger, but I was never able to run that fast again. My pride gave me a semi-permanent injury, but looking back on it I dont think I regret it, however I wish I wouldn't have gotten so angry, because maybe I would have then trained smarter
Thank you for this. I am a varsity athlete and I have DNFed one race. I was in middle school with under .25 miles to go in XC. I pulled a muscle in my side and every step I took was jabbing pain. I was out for the next week and a half but it could of been so much more if I would’ve powered though to the finish line.
Never risk your body. There will be more races.
You’re an inspiration!!! 👍🏻🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
"The bigger they are the harder they fall"
You are such a hero. You inspire me
Really hoped you'd pull a Lasse Viren and get the world record even though you fell
Bad example - Lasse Viren was massive blood doper his whole career.
Haha this is where you really learned the benefits of being short. Thanks for the video!
That would be funny if he fell down again right after the dude picked him up lol
Nick You and Nick Bare need to collab with a running and weight session!
8:37 lol that guy almost fell too
This is a really interesting video. Great job nick 👍🏻
They do not give to much of an advantage, especially in running with actual prosthetics.
They do not increase your stride length and you can only get as much energy out of them as you put in. With a muscle you dont have that problem. Maybe in long range running you can save energy, but if the distance is shrter you give up quite a bit of feel and control in exchange for having less muscle to propel you forward.
Bionic feet while retaining most of the leg does give an advantage. The energy transmission is more efficient than a human foot. But yeah...losing more of the leg would take away the benefit. But that is only for running. There is no benefit for climbing and other activities.
@@johnchestnut5340 Still then, you get only as much energy out of it as you put in.
@@FantasKanal Maybe. Maybe it robs energy from the wearer. Just kidding. When competitions are measured in thousands of a second, even very small advantages matter.
That's great Nick❤
7:47 bodied
10:23
yep. That one hurt
Hi Nick!
The answer to the question of if prosthetics should be allowed in the Olympics is a tricky ethical debate. On one hand, people would want to allow anyone who can compete into the games, however, it can lead to a slippery slope of issues. For example, the debate of advantage over others and the debate of wealthier countries having an advantage in the games are the two first ones that come to mind. The simplest way to solve this debate is for the IOC to come up with a distinctive vision for the games (i.e. best sport possible) and from there make the decision based on that vision. They could make rules where a person needs to be 85% natural in order to compete or other regulations based on the ultimate vision. But at the end of the day, it likely would lead to unfair advantages by wealthy countries as well as technology hoarding in order to stay on top. I guess no one has a true "right" to participate in the games, so it will ultimately end up being what the IOC thinks is appropriate for the events.
Sorry for the long winded answer, but it's something that was debated in my ethics class back in my Kinesiology degree and so I thought I'd chime in!
8:00 lol
I haven’t laughed that hard in quite sometime. Those face plant edits... hilarious. Hope for a quick recovery Nick!
