The Ultimate Fan - Salomon Running TV S4 E01
Спорт
We would like you to meet Bill Dooper. Hailing from the high-altitude mining town of Leadville Colorado, Bill has a deep love for the sport of Ultra-Trail Running. He has spectated at every Leadville Trail 100 Run since 1988 and every Hardrock 100. And he has never run an Ultra.
In Episode 1 of SRTV Season 04 we go on a once in a lifetime journey with Bill - getting to know who is and where his love for the sport stems from, as we unveil a story of true appreciation and friendship. Bill Dooper is…. The Ultimate Fan.
*** We apologise for the mistake in the Episode. Hard Rock 100 began in 1992, not 1989 as mentioned in the opening titles.
A PRODUCTION BY THE AFRICAN ATTACHMENT
MUSIC "UNDER THE UMBRELLA" & "RUSHING"

Me too. Now with a tear in my eye. Good stuff
79 year old man. 79 year young man. 79 year GREAT man. Bill loves this sport/lifestyle. If every walk of life had people like Bill or to phrase it a different way, earn/warranted/deserved people like Bill, we'd all tick along a bit better. Well done to everyone who put the cash up for Bill to support the ultra running community. Salomon, well done. Nicely put.
Bill Dooper October 4, 1934 to April 4, 2018 RIP Super Dooper UltraFan
RIP Bill. You left your mark on the Ultrarunning Community and won't be forgotten.
See you beyond the rock Bill.
What a wonderful man, Bill Dooper. RIP. The running community will surely miss you.
What a wonderful thing to see in a world that's generally pretty crappy. Makes you feel good to be alive.
The best man! What a tribute to the Ultimate Fan!
Rest in peace, Bill. You will be greatly missed.
Yep.. this made me cry! What a truly truly lovely man Bill Dooper is and with such passion for an amazing sport. He has a good soul and i wish him a long and happy life x

I’m tearing up right now
"I won't sleep good the night before, but I'm looking forward to this." "I am what I am, I guess." I love this!
Beautiful, what an awesome guy ! People are pretty brilliant. Thank you Salomon for making all these short movies that actually have heart.
Billy and Zach sent me too!! Great film!
That shot of the sun distorting as it sets through the clouds is unbelievable.
RIP Bill Dooper. My only regret is I didn't make it to the ultra scene soon enough to meet him.
He says he's a small part in a big community, but I'd argue the opposite. That's the beauty of ultra-running. Everyone matters.
RIP Bill. You will be missed!
off road runners are great folk and i only wish the world was more like this
Salomon i would really like to thankyou for your videos. They have inspired me to the point of losing 2 stone and competing in ultra's. Beautiful videos, Beautiful people.
Uncle Bill is so sweet god bless him
What a wonderful little film about Bill. I have meet him several times. He is a great guy.
As always making astonishing short movies! Big fan of SRTV and of the AFRICAN ATTACHMENT!
What a great dude. That's how I want to be if I'm lucky enough to get to his age.
Yeah Bill - way to represent for ultra runners . . . and Leadville!
RIP Bill Dooper ❤️
RIP
Very touching.
Thank you Salomon for giving us another great short movie, looking forward to the next one. Thumbs up.
Well this is truly inspiring. What a great guy, I can really imagine the joy of seeing him at 3 o'clock out in some nameless forest.
Yep, made me cry.
Great portrait of a distant relative. All the best from Holland.
Wonderful piece of film. Thank Salomon
Awesome capture of the essence of the sport and the community. I hope to see Bill at one of my races.
I wear different running shoes, but I'm going to make sure I try on Salomon the next time because a company that makes a video like this gets my support.

Bill seems like the type of guy that made America great the first time around.

RIP Bill
