From The Ground Up | Ep. 6 | Hours : Minutes : Seconds

Спорт

The final episode of Season 3. Five separate stories that you have watched grow over the last 5 months, culminating in Leadville for the race. What is often missed in this project is that we truly believe in building a team, a family and more, that it would be even tougher to do alone. Sit down on your couch with some popcorn and a blanket, but don't forget to bring your friends - this one is full of moments that will make you want to get off the couch!
Thank you to Dylan Hyman, Rebecca Bullock and Jackson Buscher of Hour Theory Productions for editing this episode so beautifully. It started as almost 23 hours of footage!
Of course a bigger thank you to: Megan Mouser, Mohnish Chakravarti, Brindley Faile, Kawika Mitchell and Amani Toomer who sacrificed and suffered for months to get to this point.
Alexey and Ryan

    I cry EVERY TIME. But especially watching Brindley realize she's going to finish (and knowing how much more she had after that point). Just crying.

    Thank you for capturing the essence of Leadville for the rider who takes on hard things. It is so much more than an individual challenge, families are tied to the effort. It is life changing to realize how those you love want you to reach a big goal. Leadville is not like any another race it is such an amazing experience.

    To say this has been highly inspiring is an absolute understatement. I am ready to ride through a brick wall for this crew, so proud of all of them! Such a rewarding experience, one I hope to be a helping hand for S4 too.

    I've been hooked since S1E1 but this episode was extremely awesome! This years team was the most inspiring yet. I'm not an emotional person but Brindley's epilogue made me well up. I will definitely enter the LV100 lottery again in december. I live close to leadville so if ftgu needs a support volunteer in 2024 let me know (assuming I fail to get a lottery spot). It's always bittersweet when the season is finished. Cheers.

    The Leadville 100 mtb was the best athletic experience of my life. The sheer adventure and scale of Leadville, combined with the community and race culture, for me, was unparalleled. Racing it with my Mom as my crew was extra special. Congrats to all racers. Dig deep!

    It is crazy that the video caught a picture of me at the start line then caught me and my family when Amani got cut. Amani said he was doing fine until Columbine. Before he is speaking, you can hear me in the background telling my family the horrors of Columbine.

    I get the feeling that finishing on only 4 months of training is mostly about winning the genetic lottery. I'd really rather see the participants have a year or two of working consistently with a coach to prepare, to include long training rides in the mountains. In that case it would be a lot more about grit and determination and a lot less about who your parents are.

    Going to have to agree with Mohnish below! Our goal is to have people take on something so difficult that you find a part of yourself you didn't know existed. What could you do if you had 6 months to change your life?
