We're running the Best Chase Competition for WCT5 UK! Where YOU get to vote for your favourite chase. The winning athlete will recieve $500 each! Vote here: www.worldchasetag.com/bestchase
@@EverHappyDude No women in this tournament (WCT 5 UK) but there were in some others. And there's a full women's tournament on the WCT EMEA channel right now. (Commentary is in French.)
If the obstacles are always set up the same way its possible to create a mental image of the surroundings and create muscle memory. You wouldn't even have to look to know what's behind you then and you can focus on your opponents more. Similar to how you can more or less navigate your house even if you were blindfolded.
I never seen this sport in my life, second guy who hit his knee and recovered to clutch was an amazing moment. That chase is the chase that hooked me on this sport. I will be looking for more videos of this sport now.
@@Eeter26 That is wrong logic. Just look at people playing video games and how they get so tilted even if the game is meaningless and no one cares except those players.
And the olyphic feild is bigger and has higher and more complex obstacle that can either be or be not on your favor. Edit: If they extend the fields and make the obstacle more complex with random layout ,I think it will be really comcpetitive sport ,they go inside the feild not knowing the layout and counting on there skill and luck.
Who else didn't know that this sport existed before this randomly popped up in suggestions and still found it cool? Edit: Damn. That's a lot of likes. Thanks guys!
I have something to admit. This is the only competition i have ever actually felt any sort of connection to. This is the first time, that I actually subscribed, to a channel like this.
Damn I'm loooooved tag when I was young and although track doesn't appeal to me I was always really good at reading juking and spacing but always plagued by being tall which looks like a disadvantage in this type of sport. Non the less it would be super fun to give it a go. It seems like this sport is really all fun and love at the end which I can't say for many others.
The sport's designers have worked quite hard to make it roughly even for taller and shorter players. They call it "body-type neutral". There are some very tall players on some of the American teams. The Germans aren't short either.
Richard of Ugen moves at a speed and grace that just doesn't seem possible for someone of his build - Appears tall and rangy yet manages to sprint across the quad and duck under obstacles like it was nothing. Really hope the shoulder gets better and we'll get to see him back on the chase soon
I never heard of tag being played professionally until it came up in a crossword puzzle I was doing a few days ago. This video is the first I’ve seen professional tag in action. I enjoyed it, and will watch more!
Reminds me of a game called back out we played on our huge elementary school jingle gym. It was like tag, but the person who was "it" had to keep eyes closed. The people hiding/evading him on the jingle gym couldn't touch the ground, so we developed some cool escape moves like jumping off the spiral slide half way down and grabbing on to the edge of one platform
I love how quick this is and how much fun they seem to be having with it. They seem to be much friendlier and good sports than many other professionals.

Can we apply to the tech side of WCT, so it can be more productive and get content out sooner?
Whera are the women?!

@@qwertyTRiG Thanks for your info and tip! Much appreciated!!
The mental agility to think faster than they move to avoid injury and barely miss a step is phenomenal and dam near inhuman 😳👏

@@noelic6744good outlook on this 👍🏿👍🏿
İ do that everyday
You never played a video game?
@@xJaypex Imagine comparing pushing buttons to real life athletics.

Its me bro
You remember. You were 8 and she was 11.
Jolly phonics J
It’s not a sport it’s a child’s game
lol "sport"
Every sport should have the exemplary sportsmanship these guys have
Yeah, can we please talk about how there’s almost no hard feelings between these guys? 😯
I'm gonna go ahead and assume that the stakes are pretty low for professional tag, that helps
Probably easy when its a sport nobody cares about
Because theres no touch besides tagging the opponent 😂
@@Eeter26 That is wrong logic. Just look at people playing video games and how they get so tilted even if the game is meaningless and no one cares except those players.
This should be in Olympics. So much fun.
No . . . its going to get memed on

@@jackgolden5403 Prolly ,But prolly not. Even so ,Earth is secretly a giant clown car ,So no big deal.
Is watch it over curling.
@@jackgolden5403 if pole can be added to gymnastics I think parkour deserves a spot too
6:36 legendary moment
One day some mf gonna pull up with crocs
GOAT behavior
Chad behaviour
The DISRESPECT on that, dude styled HARD
This sport is so exiting to watch.
exiting, huh
Exciting someone will get hurt
Didn’t think I’d see a football fan here, visca Barca
@@zainyardo1136 Nice to see you.
Exciting*

Not this video, but previous random youtube recommendations lol
I bet a lot people knew

6:53 Mans juked so hard the cameraman almost fell over
Not even the cameraman, no matter how powerful he is, could handle the ankle breaker 🤣
This is the same dude who can keep up the flash and Usain Bolt
🤣🤣🤣
Man why the hell are we even watching football when this exist
Better than football. More action
So much fair-play demonstrated by the players ❤
I have something to admit.
This is the only competition i have ever actually felt any sort of connection to.
This is the first time, that I actually subscribed, to a channel like this.
Me too!!
We used to play this as kids. Didn’t know it was gonna blow up to this level.
Iam sure every indian did (pakdam pakdai)
India ko bhi gilli danda ko golf ki tarah bnna chahiye ab toh
Every single kid in the world played that
@@Itsokay12349 ah yes, cause only Indians exist
lol we had no obstacles when we were kids lol. this is like parkour skills
As someone who thinks before getting up from my armchair ( 75) I'm just fascinated by this sport that I had no idea existed. Exhilarating. 😂
Forget breaking dancing, we need this in the Olympics
Hey breakdancing is an art form.
Definitely voting for Kyles shoelace chase! Insane!! 🔥
Agreed! That's how you evade _with style_ :D

It's an advantage for chasing. Ask Haroon the Harpoon.
The sport's designers have worked quite hard to make it roughly even for taller and shorter players. They call it "body-type neutral". There are some very tall players on some of the American teams. The Germans aren't short either.
Luis
Tall folks would dominate if the track was a bit bigger.
@@qwertyTRiG I believe you... HOWEVER, I would like someone who is my size 6ft4 and 280lbs (194cm and 130kg) be good at this sport lol.
Richard of Ugen moves at a speed and grace that just doesn't seem possible for someone of his build - Appears tall and rangy yet manages to sprint across the quad and duck under obstacles like it was nothing. Really hope the shoulder gets better and we'll get to see him back on the chase soon
If there's one athlete who'll be back, it's him. #UnfinishedBusiness
E
I never new this sport existed until now. SUPER FUN TO WATCH.
Sad it takes so long until we see the WCT World Championships here on TH-cam...
Yup. Everytime a new vid is up I hope i'ts new content but it's just replay again and again, wct UK wct US :/
i dont even know who won or what happened at all lol
@@nov3m472 Me neither, but I don't want to know before the videos come online, so the videos will be more fun to watch :)
@@MG43eee that is also true
The videos will appear very soon ;)
Don't tell me someone hasn't smacked their balls in one of those bars before. The speed at which they chase omg, I get chills.
I would definitely hit my head and be pissed lmao
All of them are professional parkour athletes. Injuries do happen sometimes
They are all amazing athletes--credit where credit is due--but watching Richard blows my mind!
All I can think of watching this is Michael Scott yelling “parkour!” And knocking the lamp off the table in the office 😂
Nearly had a heart attack at the last chase that started with the shoe laces
Nice flex.
Never knew my childhood game has an actual sports event. The adrenaline and the grin that unconciously came watching this
I love it😍
The fact that this is on ESPN and these guys actually have rankings is almost unthinkable
ESPN "the ocho"?
Shoutout to the camera man having the skills to keep up and make the action come alive for us!!
I never heard of tag being played professionally until it came up in a crossword puzzle I was doing a few days ago. This video is the first I’ve seen professional tag in action. I enjoyed it, and will watch more!
2024: meeeh, this game got bored.
2025: New upgrade, 2 tigers released into the stage. 😄
The chase of luke vs alex was insane 🥶😳
This is way cooler than I first thought Tag would be.
All these chases were absolutely bonkers! 💯
What have I stumbled upon, and why did it take so long to find it? This is awesome!
Most peaceful game ever 👍
Loves this
The fact that you could break your ankle as easy as breathing doing this💀
I'm more worried they'll hit their heads, shouldn't they wear helmets?
@@fluffysheepfallingasleep609 Those solid metal bars just look so dangerous..
I was thinking of wrapping them in foam or some soft material would help
@@fluffysheepfallingasleep609If you were a guy you'd be worried about something else lol.
@@DanMorgan-bh5fv LMAO, I didn't even think about that
Some amazing plays right there, but last one takes the cake by miles!
Our lovely childhood game. Truly a gentlemen's sport.
India's most favourite childhood game 💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
😆
Tag is like most popular childhood game regardless of country lol. Stop owning shit you didn't made beggars
@@aang2605 you went a bit far bro chill no offense to othr countrys
@@YLDL_69 do I look like someone who gives a crap about your country? Y'all are just peasants lmao
Beggars is a bit too much dont ya think
"Like a teddy bear, waiting to be picked off a shelf" is a great line.
When are you guys gonna post the new WCT season. It was filmed in May & we on August. Can't find any results anywhere online.
6:36
if this ain't GIGA CHAD behaviour, i don't know what is.
Deserves an edit
Luke Stones Vs Alex stek was defo a mad Ting chase. Seeing it in person made me realise how explosive team phat are

Tag for adults! You guys are bloody geniuses!
This would be 100% the best elementary fieldtrip u can probably take
Anyone else feel anxiety pangs because running away from someone chasing them is a common nightmare 😂
TH-cam will never cease to amaze me. First, I stumble upon Timbersports, and now, Tag, at a professional sports level? Awesome.
WTHeck!! Never seen this competition before.
So cool and really fun for an old boy to watch.
Everyone of these guys would be great receivers in the nfl with their dodging skills
Never knew my childhood "out out" game wud become this professional!
Same 😂😂
You mean tag
And everyone played it not just you
It is the most common game played by children around the world aside from hide and seek.
I wonder what an adult professional version of hide and seek would look like? 😅
This was the game we used to play a lot in our childhood... just loved it...😍👌🙏💖
First time whatching this sport. Breathtaking!!!
Keystone Kapers - Who’s old enough will remember.
Notice in Kyle's last chase he actually deeks the cameraman out while in the corner of the tilted cube 😂
I love how quick this is and how much fun they seem to be having with it. They seem to be much friendlier and good sports than many other professionals.
Wow didn’t know this existed so cool. Can watch with the family.
This is better than the Slap Competition I just watched
Presence of mind is most and very important in this Game 😊
Last guy is like ''take it easy man''
BRO, THIS WAS A SPORT ??! 🤯 Still though, quite wicked and I'm glad I found out about it eventhough a bit late haha.
New sport that I see
3:20 in slow mo, he touched in 19.8 👀
Shouts to the people who took the time to make this a legitimate sport
This sports need more attention
No one:
TH-cam: here's a video of a sport you didn't know existed that you'll most definitely like .
This is more intense than the world cup
No
This game inbuilt in human dna
0:14 does anyone know what that move is called when he kinda vaults down from the ledge?
Step vault. Just gives u more speed jumping off a ledge
@@jjprempeh2508 thanks I waited 9 months for an this
I love this sport. Both competitors come out smiling. No hate or negative energy. I love it😁😁
This sport is training your stamina, observation, and focus
A good sport 👍
Is this how to chase someone who didn’t pay TV licence?
Fantastic sport . What a sophisticated version of our " running and catching"
My first time seeing this as a official sports though i've played this in my childhood.
imagine saying to 1 of these guys "hey wanna play tag?"
I would just like to give a shoutout to whoever the sports commentators are because they're witty as all hell, my God I cannot get enough of em
This is what I was thinking when I was playing Tag with my friends as a kid 🤣🤣
They forgot to say "parkour" 😂
I never knew anything like this existed! This is amazing and looks so fun!!
More exciting than baseball this shit is fire 🔥
I have never seen this sport before. It's awesome! I look forward to seeing more.
In Kenya this is what we used to call "Police and Rober"
WHY DO I GET GOOSEBUMP WATCHING THIS LOL! HAJDKDKKFKFF THE ADRENALINE RUSHHHHH.
Looks awesome but I'd be worried about tripping up and eating a metal bar 😬
My mom: "Aww, they are so cute playing tag!"
What I was thinking when me and my homie were playing:
Hide and seek. Now.
I don't know how this video showed on my TH-cam, but I liked! These people move like cats!
We at school used to play this game in open ground offcourse. This is pro level though.
I need this entire setup in my neighbourhood playground
Nunca pensei q existia esse esporte..
Emocionante, top demais
Lollllllll
This game should be taken to the Olympics level
No Brasil se chama pique pega, em algumas regiões.
Pakdam padai on another level 😂😂
I find this sport today and I love it
It was about time someone made this competitive, a lot of families do this and they're serious about it too.
Hi everyone
nice new type of sports game. really fun to watch
World championship tag. Never knew this was a thing until today🤔
Saw WCT for the first time last week after Monday Night Raw and love it very cool.
How did I not know that this thing existed before. This is so cool and fun to watch!
some my favorite colors pink and purple
although i like colors in general
