Did I just watch a National Geographic special??? Bravo Jeff, seriously outstanding film!! Very excited for this series!! 👏
100%
Outstanding effort
That was brilliant, feels like it was shot by a full production team. Can not wait to see what the experience will be like swapping our trails for dunes.
C'mon man, seven days...that's cruel lol
Today is the day....almost time!!
you know it!
Many have said this but this honestly felt like a national geographic doc! I’m in awe of the scenery, animals, and your amazing storytelling, and the race hasn’t even started yet!
The wait for this series was long and hard, but oh so worth it.
It feels like a professional documentary; the imagery is awesome, and the story telling as well.
Can't wait for the next episode.
Thanks Rolf.
i love that you give us some historical context
Glad to hear it! I never know how much of that people care for, but the travel is as much part of what appeals to me in these kinds of races.
Yes let's go!!!
Can't wait to watch each episode. Great job Jeff. And thanks for sharing
Loved watching this! I grew up in Namibia and it brings back such wonderful memories seeing it in such a beautiful film. Looking forward to the rest of the series!
Love the music for Frankfurt😂😂😂😂
Awesome!!! Me and my bf waited the whole day for the premier. Not disappointed! Thank you so much for the great inspiration! Thanks to you we signed up for our first ultra this summer! Best wishes from Switzerland
Thanks Susan! That's so great to hear. Out of curiosity, which race is it you're doing?

We are visiting my boyfriends sister in Quebec this summer and want to combine it with the 50k version of the QMT. I can't wait altough I'm a bit scared of the humidity :D
Hi guys! That's my first yt live premiere ever! Thank you Jeff for your work and God bless you all dear outdoor, adventure runners!

I like that this series will show your documentary style of filming combined with your race content which is a different style, best of both worlds... Looking forward to more episodes!
Thanks Morgan! I had a lot of fun with this one.
