You guys are really extraordinary and I’m really happy you went to the trouble to make the film and document an incredibly hard ride. Much respect.

[@julesselmes]

I love their understated nature. No over acting or drama. Just grinding it out. Getting it done. No product promotion too which is a delight on TH-cam. Beautiful filming edit and music adds to the atmosphere. Well done chaps! Massive respect.

[@Richz2]

Your best video... ever. Huge respect to you and Mike for this one. I can't imagine the suffering you had to endure but you stuck at it, filmed it all, and still finished 2nd..... You should be very proud of yourself...

[@ninetytwopoint5640]

Message for Martijn: - 20 minutes in - if you're feeling empty after drinking electrolyte drink then I'd suggest you need more carbohydrates (sugar). Conversely, when Mikey puked he probably had heat stroke and too much carbohydrate...too much sugar will prevent absorption through the gut wall = dehydrated. It's all about the osmotic potential of your gut and it's absorption rate. Like Natty Durian says - carb the F up and drink more water.

“Don’t reken yourself rich” 😂 Wat een epische tocht, diep respect.

[@alextzikas676]

Congrats on the podium...amazing effort. That shower on the beach must have felt like heaven. Fantastic video as always!

[@ochias]

Congrats for your race and even more for your video. It really makes justice of what Badlands really is. The best video I've seen to date about Badlands. I was there, P.13 investing 68hours and my experience was more or less like yours. First ultradistance event for me, hard as hell sometimes because of hot weather, but enjoying a lot most of the time. Congrats again!

[@bazzacake12345]

Such a great video. Always look forward to these! You guys did so well!

[@ARJWright]

Wow… just wow.

[@rolk9581]

Wow, what an epic feat! Congratulations to you both for an incredible accomplishment!

[@benediktusgrimm6589]

So much love und respect guys! Thx for all the Allday motivation your spending with this stuff 🤟🖤

[@thomrobins5556]

Probably one of my favourite videos of yours to date, so much so I watched it twice. You guys are made of strong stuff and your tenacity to see it through is inspiring.

[@moelvin]

Incredible effort and the teamplay, more than great. Loved every second of the video. And at the end 2nd place in the first ultra... wow wow ! Great video :)

[@nesw360]

That was absolutely savage. Massive congratulations to you both!

[@DiorRamohitaj]

Insane ride! You and Mike are geniuses, the shots are always so crisp!

[@RAVS_73]

I can't fully express how much I love this channel 🙏

[@gedpitts8879]

What a great video. Maximum effort from you guys. No big drama even through illness. Also you manage to video everything and still come 2nd. Amazing 👏

[@hawk2million]

Amazing work, thanks for bringing us along.

[@txilitxiligraveltrail9304]

Absolutely amazing adventure! well done!

[@celluloiding]

Many have said it before but this was definitely your best video. Epic race, epic scenery, an epic level of endurance on your parts, epic editing, and, apparently, epic caffeine gum. Congratulations guys!!!
