Arc'teryx Presents: In Constant Motion

Adam Campbell’s life has revolved around motion. As one of the world’s top ultra runners, his mantra has been simple: ‘If you’re not moving, you’re dead’. This life of movement came to an abrupt halt on August 30th, 2016, when he experienced a near fatal accident while attempting a traverse through Roger’s Pass in BC, with runners Nick Elson and Dakota Jones. Grabbing a loose rock hold, Adam tumbled nearly 100 feet, sustaining 4 broken vertebrae, a crushed iliac crest and deep lacerations to the bone.
Having a body now supported with titanium rods and screws, Adam begins to question the integrity of his athletic future.
Ten months later, while searching for the athlete he once was, Adam finds himself at the start line of the Hardrock 100, a hundred mile ultra race he medalled at in the past. It’s within these hundred miles that Adam discovers what he’s looking for won’t be found on the results board.
Directed by Cam Sylvester
Presented by Arc'teryx

What a great job Cameron did following my son's journey of recovery. This documentary is very emotional for me to watch and is extremely well done. Thanks Cameron for avoiding blood in the surgical shots. I have been to many of Adam's races, but was not able to be there for his Hard Rock come back - a race I would love to have been at. I will be forever grateful to Nick, Dakota and all the search and rescue people and medical professionals for such a good outcome and to my amazing daughter-in-law for being such a rock through all of this.

Watching this in January 2020, sending Adam my deepest condolences on the loss of his Laura, and wishing him all the peace and strength that the universe could offer.

[@mattsyre6888]

This 14 minute movie had more emotional impact than most blockbuster 2 hour movies.

[@BrianSchultzMedia]

this isnt a movie... its a short documentary. Kinda hard to compare the emotion in this film to Transformers... lol

[@endresac369]

NOT EVERYONE OUT OF THOSE MILLION PEOPLES WHO HAVE WATCHED THIS VIDEO , WAS/IS CAPABLE OF UNDERSTANDING THE EMOTIONS THAT CAME OUT OF ADAM'S WORDS , IF YOU DID , IF YOU HAD THE CHILLS THROUGH YOUR SPINE , THIS IS A REASON TO MOVE , THIS IS WHY ONE SHOULD BE " IN CONSTANT MOTION" .

[@ziptalia2456]

wow. straight up inspriational story... best one yet. God Bless this young man and his pursuit.

[@sanbornify]

I had heard about your accident Adam, and read a little about your recovery online. What a tremendous accomplishment. In a life spent engaged in sport, this may not be your best placing but surely it is one of the most meaningful. All the best, to you and your family.

[@austinmeyerfilms]

What a story. And told with such honesty and grace. Adam, you embody what the amazing sport of ultra running is all about

[@NHeim1]

A very touching film!! The beauty of it is acceptance, from personal and recent experience, healing comes from acceptance.

[@BBobby-kg3vr]

Passion knows no Limits ....kudos to Adam for his grit coming much stronger then he was before.truly an inspirational story ...

[@mushfiquerahman8736]

this is my third time watching this and every time I am in tears. So motivational..

[@jasonlord6068]

Wow, powerful video. His comments really hit a cord with me. "When you untie you laces, life still happens". For a sport obsessed person, thats probably just what I need to hear. Thank you.

[@garchoisfilms]

I watched this movie at Arcteryx Alpine Academy in Chamonix and really wanted to give props to the Director Cameron Sylvester and to Adam Campbell as well. STUNNING film boys, gave me goose bumps from start till the end.

[@r.p.6722]

Well done Adam ... Your story will inspire a lot of people . Sometimes that’s all one needs . Best for your next move !

[@colinthompson5881]

Fantastic. I’m struggling returning to ultra’s and indeed just running after an ankle injury from botched Osteopath treatment. Been a long road, I was never at your level but same love for the sport so your story and film has helped me. Thanks.

[@wheelbegood]

Great movie with great visuals and a very inspirational and deep meaning

[@lifewithCody_]

Amazing story Arc'teryx! Keep stuff like this coming.

[@schlarb-wolfproductions646]

Beautiful story Adam. You're perseverance is very inspiring.

[@ocean1573]

Amazing .Very inspirational. Thank you!

[@ewbeyer1104]

Love this story so much! Amazing film, and the emotions were felt!

[@projectbonsai8538]

"For my entire life, my physical self is being, how i define myself, i think better in motion i'm happier when i'm in motion i'm just a person in motion, if you're not moving you're dead, that's always how i've seen it. " - Adam Campbell This quote really hit home for me, i couldn't agree more.

[@vincentkalkman7960]

You are an amazing inspiration Adam. Great movie. Needed this to see before my own 230km ultramarathon journey next weekend.

[@derHaseimPfeffer]

Such a strong film. I'm out of words. Outstanding!

[@lyfhntr6562]

Thank you for this.

[@4amwaj]

liked as soon as the first beat of the sound track kicked in. stunning vid.

[@JohnPaul-ii]

What an emotional journey, the human body is nothing without the will to be something truly special.

[@TrailRunningWales]

Oustanding movie! The quality of the documentary compliments Adam's determination and passion for the sport.

Amazing story. This is inspiring Adam!

[@framehuntersmedia]

Amazing and inspiring. Thank you

[@daveinkleen]

Heartfelt story and amazing sceneries along the way. Very much touched and gave a strong motivation to start running and run for the rest of my life.

[@arcteryx]

Thanks!

[@bartiservin4841]

Great film about a great guy. I found Adam impressive for his athletic exploits, but after the accident I found him even more impressive for the recovery he made and his outlook on life. I never had a serious accident, but I can vaguely imagine the drive and the hard work (both physical and mental) you need to recover from something like this. He's certainly a guy I would like to have a beer with!

[@alisoncampbell7175]

Riveting. And so moving. It's emotional even for those of us who have never met Adam. So much love and guts. Beautiful.

[@arcteryx]

Thanks Alison!

[@TheMoifel]

Awesome film! What an inspiration!

[@fireinthehead4280]

Even after almost dying and getting your body destroyed, you're still in great shape and have a lot of heart. That says a lot about you.

[@native_edn_flyfishing854]

Exceptional.

[@patriciaowens3479]

Very good!!!!

[@kayelyward8714]

Amazing film . . .

[@lukasblum8051]

Good movie about a moment when one comes to crossroads. It's only after having been back in the sport for a while after an accident that you will know how the accident has affected you. It can be live changing in many ways, but it's not necessarily like that.

[@francisbombus3949]

totally impressive

[@danito5627]

Great content!

Well done, keep the dream alive, keep moving forward.

[@buildakicker]

Epic! Breakthrough. 10:20 ish really said it for me...

[@brianharder7714]

Great film about a great accomplishment. Emotional for most of us involved in mountain sports, especially those of us who have been injured to one degree or another. I work in orthopedic surgery and my gut tells me that these scenes were recreated for the film. Too much slick camera work for most operating rooms. Even still, they were well done. Can't wait to see how it goes this year.

[@wendyswinton7187]

It was actual footage in the operating room. Cameron did an awesome job of it

[@brianharder7714]

That was a generous surgeon letting him into the O.R. Many would not. That took some quick planning to get that in line I bet and the film is better for it.

[@MrMuddysocks]

Hey Brian, the surgery shots were actually from the extraction of the hardware from my spine which happened in November, not the initial accident footage

[@brianharder7714]

Hey Adam. Thanks for the reply. That makes way more sense to my surgical brain. As you know, most operating rooms don't let just anyone in the door. I imagine Cameron had to get some shots and be vetted to do what he did. Still, it was a key element of the overall impact of the film. Welcome back!

[@stacylee4187]

is this actual footage of your surgery? holy moly!

[@rismoedits]

It's so cool... REALLY GOOD JOB! What's the music in this video?

[@TR-nw8hz]

A story of a man, crying, for 14 minutes

[@wendyswinton7187]

Isn't that a wonderful sound when you think of what the alternative almost was.

[@Dihuda]

Yes, this is terrific display of human spirit and effort, but why...? I also aim at ultras, but fawking why turn your life into race? It's just our ego that pushes us beyond and keeps whispering that this and that and that is not enough... that we are not good enough and thats why we have to push more for more more more more and more races by screwing up our bodies completely. Whats the point anyways? Just do few ultras a year and be engaged in something else instead burning yourself in the trails of your ego. Dont think that I cast Adam or his achievments down but this is complete mess.

[@scotty191188]

Dihuda someone who just doesn't get it. That's fine though.

[@wotty999]

Slow claps 👋 👋 👋 👋 👋

[@odonnemt]

Really not the time or place for this comment.

[@monikakawka8745]

I think the point is to trully face yourself. This is who I am. I'm changing, my body is changed. To me Adam is just being himself. And that is probably the bravest thing to do. Face yourself.

[@TR-nw8hz]

Yall sure do cry a lot over nothing. Ever run 100 without crying?

[@TR-nw8hz]

Why do people injure themselves in the middle of nowhere and then brag about it on KZbin? You should be embarrassed!
