I really felt respect for these sportsmen; there's something very honest about what they do. No glamour, just effort and pride. They have every right to be proud
This and the Stoneland film about Scotland and their stones are some of the best short films I've seen. Such rich, deep history in both regions...such respect to these cultures for keeping these centuries old traditions going so strong
precioso documental soy del sur de españa y ver a la nobleza, la humildad y el trabajo que hacen estas personas del norte para mi son gente de admirar de verdad un 10

Soy de Andalucia y vivi en el Pais Vasko durante muchos años y para mi el euskera en el Pais Vasko es como el flamenco en Andalucia, una forma de vivir, de sentir, cultura y todo lo que conlleva… Debeis de estar orgullosos de lo que teneis allá, es precioso….
Thank you Rogue for helping to preserve this culture and heritage. I believe that there are too few people today who realize how important it is to stay true to your roots.
I have Basque bloodlines and have always been fascinated with the culture and proud to showcase my family tree as my father and his family has shown it to me. As someone who is into lifting and fitness, I never knew that Basque country was big into lifting, let alone having its own sport, and having Rogue recognize it none the less! This video did an amazing job showcasing the culture and these men's passion for the sport. This stone lifting seems to show the true test of strength!
I admire Rogue for making a documentary highlighting the rich culture of the Basque strongmen in which not a single reference to a Rogue product was made. It's obvious this documentary (and indeed the entire series) was made out of a desire to show the place strength has held in so many of the world's cultures and not simply to be a commercial.
This is an absolutely fantastic documentary, about life, aging, what gives life meaning, basque nationality and culture, and some really nice guys enjoying strength sports. I was blown away. This really gave me the feels.
@@vascoespañol f..k off!!! Of course there is a basque nationality. I'm basque and not Spanish. Aren't the basques from Biarritz basques? Are they Spanish?
@@vascoespañol nationality doesn't necesarilly mean it has to be an independent nation, the same way as Welsh and Scottish have their own nationality even though they officially belong to the UK. Basque exists as a nation and that is a fact, whether you feel you prefer to be part of Spain or not. That's totally respectable. You perfectly know what he means so don't try and manipulate.
@@diarmaidryan9486 You are clueless, very shallow knowledge, lecfuring a very well educated guipuzcoan about his origins. Read dude. Basque were not celtic, Guipuzcian vardules were Celtic.
Of all the videos I’ve watched when it comes to lifting stones this is by far the best I have ever seen. I really need to get out there and train with some of these people. The heart, soul, and dedication are second to none. What a wonderful people
Thank you as a Basque girl it brings much pride and great memories growning up in the basque culture .. this has been documented in such a beautiful way!! Thank you ~ Gracias ~ Eskerrik asko
Eh visto un millon de veces este documental y me encanta , me encanta la historia que hay detras y que aun se mantenga la tradicion viva y espero nunca desaparezca .
This came on as an ad in another RUclips video I was watching, and at first I was going to skip it, but I was intrigued and next thing I know, it is 30 minutes later and I am crying at how beautiful this was. Amazing job. This was such a great accidental discovery. So much respect to the Strongmen and this outstanding documentary. Thank you Rogue.

Thank you so much Rogue. It´s my home, my land, and this documentary was just beautifully shot, it really captures the essence of this legendary sport. Gora Euskadi!
This is one of the best documentaries I've seen, great job. informative, entertaining, and done with so much respect for the subject and it's participants.
¡Mira que es hermosa Euskalherria, me cago en la leche! El día que la gente entienda que este país es hermoso por lo diverso que es, siendo tan pequeño, daremos un paso de gigante. ¡Un saludo desde Madrid!
Inaki Perorena is an amazing man. My father, Nicolas Fagoaga, brought him to Elko Nevada in the United States for the National Basque Festival. He was a good friend.
Incredible vision into a culture that I otherwise wouldn't have been exposed to. Funny how politics, religion, muddy the waters when it comes to viewing other cultures; but one thing we share is the most basal instinct engraved in our DNA.. and that is to lift, to move, and to respect.
Piel de gallina. Soy del país Vasco...y ver esto realmente de enorgullece y emociona. Goosebumps. I am from the Basque country ... and seeing this is really proud and exciting.
Excellent documentary, very well done, showing part of the culture of a people and allowing people like me, a Brazilian, to know a little more about the culture and tradition of other peoples! My congratulations and many thanks!
I adore this documentary. The physicality, determination, discipline, and honesty showcased here is treated with dignity and respect. I hope their traditions continue on for many more centuries.
Part of my ancestors were vascos, this is something I didn't know about the people of that region of Spain. Thanks rogue for this awesome documentary, you guys got me interested in this sport.
Ever R Basque country is a nation around a part of Pirineos mountains. And it is divided in two parts one in France that is called Iparralde and other one in Spain called Hegoalde. So it is not a region in the north of Spain.
This is a beautiful film full of passionate people for their sport and culture,thanks much Rogue Impresionante documental con gente con mucha pasion por su deporte y una cultura muy rica
Tremendo reportaje, yo le compre una de esas piedras a Iñaki Gorostidi en Zumaraga, en unas fiestas de alli. Todavia me acuerdo de aquel momento al ver esas piedras en miniatura y hablar con este gran levantador, el cual ya me dijo que conocia a mi entrenador de Halterofilia , Bermejo....de Andalucía... el mundo de los levantadores es un pañuelo.. felicidades por el reportaje.

Im basque and im so proud to do this kind of sport in my country , the rural sports (herri probak). than you rogue to share this with the world. really thanyou so much
Just so ppl know. At 25:10 when Iñaki Perurena says he was 46 when he lifted a stone 1077 times, thats a translation mistake. It actually says he did it 1700 times
From the England of 'Irish' descent/blood. Have great respect for the Basque, they're a similar people to the Irish in my eyes. The Highlands of Scotland has this stone lifting strong man tradition too.
I really felt respect for these sportsmen; there's something very honest about what they do. No glamour, just effort and pride. They have every right to be proud
my aunt used to do it, no money, just a little i used to do harrizulaketa, and i am moving toward stone lifting
Kk
This and the Stoneland film about Scotland and their stones are some of the best short films I've seen. Such rich, deep history in both regions...such respect to these cultures for keeping these centuries old traditions going so strong

Beautiful. Brought tears to my eyes seeing the little kid in the last shot lifting perfectly w his Dad. Great film. So very interesting!

Baita zuk ere!
How long have you lived there?
This is an absolutely fantastic documentary, about life, aging, what gives life meaning, basque nationality and culture, and some really nice guys enjoying strength sports. I was blown away. This really gave me the feels.
@Nim Boo You need to be broken down. Twenty minutes and you'll be separated from your seat, for good.
there is no basque nationality, is basque culture deep into the roots and origins of the Spanish culture

A great documentary in many ways, and as a professional translator I must also commend the high quality of the translation.
Thank you as a Basque girl it brings much pride and great memories growning up in the basque culture .. this has been documented in such a beautiful way!!
Thank you ~ Gracias ~ Eskerrik asko
Your culture seems to have very much authenticity.
Oso ona. Txapo dokumental hau egin duzun guztioi eta gure ohitura zaharrak galtzen ez uzteagaitik. Edizio, argumento eta historia ederra. Lan bikaina.

+Catalina Laughlin yea INAKI Is good! great person.
Thank you Rogue for making this and showing the world our humble but beautiful culture. Living abroad this has made me really homesick
Great documentaries about the European culture you don't get these on mainstream tv anymore.

The pride in the heritage is good to see.
Truly beautiful documentary. This represents the best part of lifting. That great feeling and love for it. Great video rogue thank you
THIS IS NATURAL STRENGTH
Thank you so much for this documentary, Basque stone lifting interests me.
Incredible vision into a culture that I otherwise wouldn't have been exposed to. Funny how politics, religion, muddy the waters when it comes to viewing other cultures; but one thing we share is the most basal instinct engraved in our DNA.. and that is to lift, to move, and to respect.

Great job boys you've made a masterpiece
Me ha encantado. Un vídeo muy bien hecho y muy bien explicado. Una explicación abierta, dulce, cariñosa, para todos los públicos. Gracias.
The quality and style of the cinematography is brilliant; above the set level of RUclips films. Well done.

Fantastic doco👌🏾

Wow, that was truly powerful, not only in a physical sense, but a spiritual sense. Well done Rogue!
"Harrijasotzaileak" the basque strongman rural sport from the Basque Country World record is 329 Kg stone.
+javier martinez That is insanely strong
329 kg? oh my goodness
Migueltxo Saralegi did it. He appears in this documetary.
Hope this means Rogue is gonna be making Levantadore gear!!
I enjoyed watching this documentary. Thank you!
This is a beautiful film full of passionate people for their sport and culture,thanks much Rogue
Impresionante documental con gente con mucha pasion por su deporte y una cultura muy rica
Thanks for sharing this story! They lift for love to the sport itself, not money.
I love it! Such a great look into the culture. Beautiful!
Very good documentary. Hope there are more like this to come. These "Sports" are an outlet so men don't cause War.

Amazing work Rogue! Loved every second of it. I'd love to see more from these lesser known sports from around the world!
I enjoyed watching this alot. Didn't even know this channel existed.
Very cool video on a strong sport I had no idea existed.
Proud of being basque :D
It's a good thing!
From the England of 'Irish' descent/blood. Have great respect for the Basque, they're a similar people to the Irish in my eyes. The Highlands of Scotland has this stone lifting strong man tradition too.
That was really delightful. Thank you.
