[@georgesterner]

It's like Christmas for crossfit nerds with these games videos!

[@4kdefinition70]

Twas the night before a new season, all the cross fitters were quite, just a workout in sight. When HQ sprung some presents, to delight the main site.

[@MakMuk]

the smell of dirty socks.

[@mattriffe7338]

Sevan makes a great series.

[@cherries4life387]

I swear this was taken down for a few years. Maybe just maybe it will return. It was so unique to Crossfit and so entertaining

[@cmarnold78]

2014 & 15 were the peak. Its jut not the same now its away from the beach and California.

[@hyperyeet]

Agree

[@eliavelasquez2764]

Yass

[@mcgarduno0123]

The foreshadowing of the mat with Fraser's name...

[@alyssa9452]

Sevan: #ceo

[@diegoetc]

Video crew really needs a quick lesson on exposure...

[@miguelbaylon88]

what the name of the song?

[@seanpuffer8436]

That butt slap at 0:13 though. Eating Oreos while watching this and loving every bite.

[@Maino88]

Skipped through all the bits with 'The' Dave Castro yabbering on about how awesome he is. That guy is the Lord High President Emeritus of Douchebaggery.

[@boonhouse1367]

Dude was in the SEAL Teams for about 8 years before all this hype and movie frenzy. Douche it up Dave!!

[@JointFive]

Boonhouse Guy does not act or look like he has any civility

[@JointFive]

other than general douchbagery

[@thebeast125josh]

Maino88 They need to replace him with josh bridges in the future. Would represent crossfit way better than castro douche has been.

[@senorgato70]

GO MARCUS!!!!! Ok, hope he feels better now ;-)

[@marcushamner5994]

My name is Marcus too!😂😂👊🏾🤘🏾🤙🏾🎸

[@nickader3729]

2014 is and forever will be the best Games season ever.

[@Chooong7]

Most complete in terms of new and old athletes imo

[@1109n]

These videos on the games are great, huge props to the Crossfit media team.

[@somesinger1575]

10:42 Jason Kalipa and his mannerisms just crack me up, love the banter between those two.

[@TheMightyMurph]

This was brilliant. Looking forward to the future parts

[@lopu11]

+CrossFit® Is there going to be some behind the scene video for the 2015 crossfit games?

[@ianbrewer4843]

Same here

[@dubtastic]

It is this type of insight that brings in that community element. You feel so close to elite level athletes. Great work as usual.

[@helenchengnz]

quite enjoying the behind the scene stuff, but man sometimes it seems the camera crew are just annoying too, the athletes just wanna chill and warm up or relax, but the camera is always there, almost seems like a reality show. Josh bridges seems to love and enjoying it though!

[@KasaresStern]

It's with this kind of videos that you learn how competition doesn't always mean that rivalry is going to kill the mood... Seems that it almost can improve it! It even can improve marks and results!

[@evanlonergan5202]

Great footage! Sevan is a genius.

[@alexc8715]

Dave the kinda guy that would cry at his own funeral

[@PatCFLabat]

I guess part 2 tomorrow and so on until open gets announced? I want to see what Mat Fraser says about the chalk thief Froning :P

[@mtr654]

YES!!!!! THANKS SEVAN!

[@SIMPLExJACKxATTACK]

After two cookies and a bowl of ice cream, i hope watching this will burn off those calories.

[@CreatureCurse]

Gus I just started Crossfit and HOY CRAPP!!! but I love it its ben a week and I CANNOT GET ENOUGH!! love this!!

[@JoshuaSlayter]

Khalipa's face at 10:46 when he asks Froning what place did he get and he says top 10 is priceless.haha

[@HeatingJr81]

Seen My Babes Camille And Lauren. Life is Great Lol 💯🙈❤️😊

[@michaelmutuku7050]

I love the exercises and the Pioneers.Its a great adventure to people who like body fitness like me.

[@NickDeBusk]

Love these videos.

[@monkichi_putih]

Great Job Sevan,Always look forward to your stuff & even had a great Australian presence..Go PipMalone for 2015

[@D-stut]

"Because of fucking Froning and those guys"....best damn comment ever LOL

[@aaronrublee3386]

Josh Bridges man. He's such a beaut.

[@170turbo]

How awesome is Josh Bridges

[@Nparajian1]

you can hate on Dave Castro all you want..he does a great job with crossfit games!!

[@CoachAgung1]

If you look in the back, you can see the ghost of Paul fkn Walker at 14:52

[@coltpwrs7]

Did Ian Wittenber also edit this? Awesome video. Im sure part 2 will be even better!

[@brosky117]

The whole exchange at 33:35 had me rolling. So freaking funny hahahaha

[@jaylawson01]

OMG!!! All those Woodway Curves at about the 35:00 mark. Dang...I just want one...just one.

[@jasong2546]

I'll be interested in these competition when they are USDA tested.

[@bladeproject1]

i vote for drug testing. Half the field wouldnt be there.

[@bladeproject1]

Stuart Jones Yes very true. Science has to catch up.

[@bladeproject1]

CrossFit® Really? Ok no one is drugged up...(rolling eyes)

[@MrElectricSkittles]

nonayou damnbusiness they do... but why do it stricter.. these are ultimate athletes.. dont you find it interesting to watch them complete three events a day, and complete each workout quicker than anyone who would just do one could do

[@bladeproject1]

MrElectricSkittles Check out IronMan for the real thing.

[@jennifervalenti8032]

nonayou damnbusiness Which Ironman are you referring to?

[@blackpinkstannn]

33:40 favorite part hands down. im going to take dave completely serious right there and agree with him lol

[@TreyPrankz]

I need to get into Crossfit! These guys are jacked monsters

[@r3negade47]

***** I'm not trying to take away from how hard these guys and girls work but there's a lot of 'supplements' going on behind the scenes to make them jacked. At least body builders are more honest about it.

[@Lichugunti]

r3negade47 Who cares unless they look like Arnold Schwarzenegger. His biceps were as thick as Riches leg.

[@luisocampo3128]

r3negade47 actually if you watch a lot of crossfire videos you'd see that they all say they use some supplement cause most are sponsored by one.

[@luisocampo3128]

***** doing crossfit alone won't get you jacked theirs a lot of power lifting, olympic weight lifting, cardio workouts, etc involved crossfire is just a small part of the whole work out process

[@luisocampo3128]

Luis Ocampo there*

[@liakibisheva4076]

super!!!

[@alexvital07]

I like how people are saying Castro is a douche, I've met him stout gym and he was cool ass dude. And mad respect for him for serving in the military

[@knichri11]

Pip Malone new love!

[@youbikewithatube]

First rule of being a Navy Seal, tell everyone as much as possible you are or were a Navy Seal.

[@aGuUU27]

Love how Castro said in the beginning: "Because of fucking froning and those guys"

[@joshfox6046]

Donavan! My L1 coach!

[@JaseSemperFi]

HooYah Josh Bridges and TDC

[@francotovilla]

Have a cuestion. How did they get these body? Only with crossfit or with workout in a conventional gym? Sorry..my english is bad.

[@Drewsky16]

I find Dave Castro to be hilarious... "Fuck yea I'd do steroids. Look at me, I die my hair of course I'd do it"

[@felipelpr]

Wilmer Valderrama? Is that you?

[@marcelo585]

good

[@jonisshollo]

nice

[@fbblove1]

07:15? WOW!

[@Adamoff]

[@mambutuomalley2260]

+Adam McGroggan Senbei - Robot Race

[@benstroud649]

Dan and Josh did the workout before?

[@codegamer44]

16:20 I love his t-shirt. Anyone know where to buy?

[@darrenslade2639]

What is the track at the beginning of this video called?

[@Rund23]

Anyone know the song playing in the background starting at 30:42 (not the young jeezy thing)

[@danielhitesman4868]

[@Kapaawarrior77]

10:43 Foreshadowing the podium finish

[@TINASTREATSTEXAS]

[@Htes55ify]

[@kls0110]

hahaha dude was Castro being serious when he said he did roids

[@osvaldochapagloria3118]

Name of the song at the beginning of the video?

[@Z2357111319]

I didn't see Hasselhoff in the surf...

[@mathewpascas5293]

who is #45? female blonde yellow top anyone?? thanks

[@brianbuckley3586]

Noah Ohlsen seems cocky

[@ethanwmotley]

He is. But it's a good cocky. Kid's good.

[@senorgato70]

He's confident, there's a difference. And he's not unlike any other competitor in his attitude, really.

[@teslation]

What does that make dan bailey then ?

[@teeteego]

Song in the very beginning?

[@MisterSezuma]

What is the first song name called?

[@MrValueking]

Who can hook up the track name....?

[@celabcasteron7540]

I swear that Dave Castro is wasted 24 hours a day.

[@wyattholtsclaw9606]

anyone know the name of the song and musician at about 25:45?

[@yerwrng]

LOL...Dave Castro is CrossFit...lol...And that does not even need a punch line .

[@apeelingbanana4245]

these guys didnt get buff from corssfit

[@nosabe5]

bjork face at 26:21

[@MTRE-xs9dk]

What's the song starting at 25:36 ?? Thanx

[@christianwilliams9663]

been wondering the same thing..... they've used it in another video too but I cant find the name of it even with one of those song ID apps for your phone.

[@basit5]

Do all the cross fitters have extremely good lookin bodies because of their crossfit routines or they do body-building on the side. Coz They are all so jacked up and shredded at the same time that makes me wonder how are they so fit as well as have such aesthetic bodies at the same time.

[@barkingtaco]

Yeah, pretty much crossfit all day everyday

[@basit5]

But that's more than a 'decent' body. If they weren't cross fitters, they would be labelled as steroid users right away 'coz my God, look at their bodies! So much muscle, almost non-existent fat!

[@basit5]

LongJohn Silverthorne That might be one of the measure to determine the use of illegal substances but I'd still doubt every single athlete, buffed chested or not.

[@dereckmichelleenriquez3034]

Anyone know the title to the intro song?

[@rockeyemk2]

Everywhere - Lil Nate Dogg. Looked for the damned song for months!

[@eliascontreras1951]

do you know the namr of the music at the end

[@olivermunoz2557]

Don't like to criticise but what's with the out of focus 5/10 interviews..

[@amandogonzalez8386]

Why Castro doesn´t have any muscle? Not even an athletic body, he´s representing Crossfit around the world, has to be an example! #justsaying

[@felipelpr]

becaaaaaause he does crossfit without steroids. So...

[@amandogonzalez8386]

Hahahaha!! My friend Felipe Pires Ribeiro ..you hit the spot, thanks for that! ;)

[@renaissancemen1]

Hahaha. Some of those girls have some nice GH gut. I guess they don't test.

[@felipelpr]

renaissancemen1 they do. But their test are silly and it's actually an IQ test. That means, you're only reproved if you're dumb. You can't do crossfit without the juice. You need a MONSTER RECOVERY. There is a very good article about it written by Joe Romano, I think.

[@neversaw]

His position work wise is not at all about his body. That's like saying the best coaches would look like athletes, they're mind is what guides their job not their looks.

[@strengthvalor5103]

So no one is going to ask Lucas why he has a beanie on in Cali? Lol.

[@ttime5756]

beanie's are worn year round in Cali.

[@christian_strobel]

So his bald head won't get fried

[@teeteego]

and at 25:46

[@Z2357111319]

"Do you even lift?!"

[@mathewpascas5293]

26:23 blonde. #45 yellow top who is she? anyone? thank u

[@skibum303]

GORUCK bags everywhere
