Thought this best belonged in here.
The series of short videos that Salomon had produced of Kilian's Quest over the last few years have been excellent.
The latest instalment is another treat:

Enjoy! :D:D
Cheers Morgan, awesome descending, suppose being a skier helps with that, that mountain goat is actually trying to catch him, not run away!
At least this allows us to dream what might have been Steve. Bit late to be expecting a downhill epiphany at our time! :)
Good film but it edits out the 53 stops he made in order to tip the sand out of his shoes.
Mmmmmmm....not bad for a young'un :closed:
I'll have you know i'm 47 tomorrow Morgan, going downhill fast;)Quote:

The trans pyrenees run he did was pretty ace, earlier season I think
That's how I see myself running.... pity it all goes to pieces when I put on a pair of running shoes!
He is pretty impressive - having spent two weeks walking the GR20 across Corsica, and being very pleased with myself at the end, it turns out he ran it in 32 hrs - mind you, he didn't have to carry the tent!
I have the drop on you Steve, but not necessarily downhill!Quote:

Enjoy the Guinness(es). :D
It is far too Hollywood for my liking.
I would say any (certainly a top fell runner) decent fell runner could do the same. He is amazing because he can carry on similar (but without making unnecessary jumps) to that for 20 hours plus.
Alan, you know he is as humble as they come. Just helping sell shoes I guess!
These two will be more to your taste:

very nice, but very much a fashion video.
The other videos are much better.
I like the look of that electro muscle massager thing that he uses - compex is it called?
He does come across as a very humble modest guy. But as you hint at he has a job to do, and that is more of an advert than anything else. It is obviously set up, and heavily edited together. I dont doubt his class though. It would be good to see him compete in one of our elite field fell races.
Yes, the Mount Olympus videos are much better. He still broke the record even after going to a flase summit.Quote:

I'd love to see him run the ben,think he'd be more suited to the three peaks though
Great film BUT anyone know how I can download and use it in lessons. Doubt if it will get through the internet filter at my place. This would be great for lessons on friction (getting bored of using fellephants ben nevis video and wharfees coniston one)
Ideas much appreciated.
Has he ran any fell races in the uk?
Don't do technical.Quote:

See the Community section on the page above. Send a Facebook message or Tweet them?
But the guy running after him carrying the camera and keeping it steady must have been pretty good as well?
Here is the latest instalment of Kilian's Quest:
http://www.salomonrunning.com/uk/kil...pisode-08.html
Clearly filmed just after his first ever DNF in a race in his home country.
Judging by his run at Kinabalu, the mojo has returned. :D
Bloody ell, watching the first bit of that, i thought, do salomon only make shoes, shorts and rucsacs!
OMG he uses an IPOD! I hope he doesn't try to post on this forum!
I thought they were very small earmuffs!Quote:

Kilian takes a break - Part 2:

Could do with some of that peace and quiet!
The year end wrap for Kilian's Quest:
http://www.salomonrunning.com/uk/kil...pisode-10.html
Wonder what is in store for 2012?
I've only just watched the whole of Kilian's Quest and he is such an inspiration, every time I watch him I just want to go out for a run!
Great set of films. Poor lad needs to be paid more, has to borrow a euro off the cameraman!
The slow motion episode reminds me of watching Nee bother throw himself off a hillside. No need for lycra when you can wear a hat like he can.
Nee Bother will always be my downhill hero, amazing, if you filmed him in slow motion he'd still be a blur!Quote:

Not sure I'd want to be handling the camera and climbing on the Owen-Spalding but then I'm not Kilian. ;)
Up in 2.05, down in 1.18.
Subsequently reduced to 2.54.01 up and down, taking Bryce Thatcher's record of 3.06.
Well, after the previous record lasting 29 years, Kilian's record only stood 10 days !!Quote:

Seems to be a bit of controversy about Kilian's run in that he wasn't staying on the trail but was "cutting" the corners.
