The Brothers Who Invented Formula 1... For Marbles

Ойын-сауық

Marble Racing is a sport watched by millions. In fact, these marbles have more fans than a lot of athletes. People buy their merch, and they even have their own team chants! That’s because brothers Jelle and Dion Bakker have created a captivating world, where a bunch of inanimate objects rolling down a plastic track suddenly becomes an exhilarating sport.
After a life-long passion for marbles, Jelle created a KZread channel, and audiences quickly became obsessed with their high production value and creative races. It was even noticed by John Oliver, who featured it on his TV Show, Last Week Tonight on HBO.
You’ll be the on the edge of your seat chanting for your favorite marble team.

    Jelles Marble Runs has finally made it. The channel has definitely suffered under the changes of the infamous KZread algorithm, but the feverish fanbase (including myself) has remained loyal through thick and thin. I'm hoping they develop enough social and financial backing so that they don't need to rush through their production schedules to meet the cruel deadlines of social media. P.S. Go O'Rangers, let's redeem ourselves with a championship in the upcoming Marbula One season! #OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    Glad to see this is correctly attributed to the JMR team. I know others like it exist, and I even enjoyed a few of them, but the Marbelympics/Marble League and Marbula One of the JMR team really put this kind of entertainment into the mainstream.

We cheer out loud for our favorite teams watching the events! And it just gets better and better every year as they keep adding even more layers of polish! Thank you so much for giving us all a look behind the scenes with these guys! I can't wait to share this video with my kids!

    I looked at the thumbnail and immediately thought of Jelle's, I've watched them for like 6+ years. I still remember the old days admiring the beach sand races and would love to make mine once if I had a chance. Like I'm 20 years old now but I love having my imaginations high bringing me back to the old passions of marbles as a kid.

    As one of those dedicated fans (team Cats Eyes forever), this is such a cool look at the people who make it all happen. For me, I love the whimsy of it all, how wholesome the community is, and the sheer silliness and joy of watching these little marbles. It's just a good time. But what blows my mind time and again is the production value. The amount of work and effort these guys put into creating the events, the story lines, the stop motion animation, the sound effects, the way they really treat it like a sport and have all these little add ins for the fans, the team chants, the "audience" full of marbles, the "streakers" and "security" taking the streaking marbles away. Greg's commentary, that brings things to a while other level. It's all just so well done. The passion and love that goes into every single video is so obvious. And that makes it so easy to get genuinely invested in these little marbles, the teams, the league, everything. Jelle is amazing, the whole team is. And I'm so glad that these guys have been able to turn their passion into a living.
