      You all may need to carve out a few flat spots for him before he comes back. That, or have some extra folks to help Romark carry him up those hills. 😂
      Seriously though, that's a beautiful area that I hope to visit myself one day.

      Kaixo, lo que es increible o tal vez indignante, es que el mejor documental jamas hecho sobre los deportes vascos relacionados con la fuerza haya sido realizado por un extranjero, Rogue. Es decir, los extranjeros y parte del mundo de la fuerza mundial aprecian mas esta tradicion que los propios vascos y sus medios. Te recomiendo ver el documental que hizo Rogue hace unos pocos años sobre este mismo tema.

    Dude, THIS is the kind of content the strongman community needs more of. I've heard about their stone prowess, and it's great to see this kind of (very logical) crossover.

    • @kingofthenorth4550
      @kingofthenorth4550 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I agree. But to be fair trips to different countries is lots of funding so it’s not easy for other strongmen to bring content like this. But yes I wish more would do this but having martins doing this makes it so much more appreciated

    Basque makes some of the best axes in the world.
    Their axe competitions are crazy!
    They are badass forsure.
    The way they swing those heavy racing axes looks so effortless.
    Anyone who has swung an axe, let alone a racing axe, knows how hard it is.
    And they make it look easy!
