BREAKING POINT | A DEAD COW GULLY DOCUMENTARY

[@BeauMiles]

Great doco guys. Brilliant

[@deadcowgully372]

Thanks so much for watching 👀 ☺️

[@ASkippingRock]

Backyard Ultra for the Backyard Adventurer?

[@annaoneill5673]

1:10:05 “it’s okay, I’ll take him to the win”. Most beautiful moment when you realize he’s not pushing to win anymore, he’s pushing to help another competitor reach their goal.

[@MethodOverRide]

Yes! This moment really got me. Really showed his heart as a competitor, knowing he was ill and kept pushing so Phil could get the record.

[@845SiM]

I could never walk this far, let alone run. The mental strength is what keeps me watching these videos. Absolutely amazing

[@edscottdotblog]

This is without a doubt one of the best running documentaries I've ever seen. Fantastic work.

[@homonym7638]

Completely agree, and I seen 'em all

[@ThaiSteffe]

This was the sickest thing I ever seen. I never seen a human being totally empty like this in the tank. wow I am stunned, I am in love. I don't know what to say I just want to start to run and never stop.

[@nickscozzaro6349]

Man, when Ollie was having a tough time and his pops told him he’s proud no matter what. That’s a strong father-son bond. Love to see it

[@Mark-fd3mg]

Most strong men had strong fathers.

[@AdamMclean-tg5qs]

Honestly watched this about 10 times. Even ran with it playing in my ear. Best motivator I’ve had for running. Can’t get enough of it

[@thehappydiet]

I’m the same!

[@RivnatZille]

That was one of the best documentaries about racing that I've seen. Really inspiring!

[@GuyMaurice]

1:10:56 "... Big boyz... We are the big boyz." Hell yeah!! It's was amazing to watch this. Thank you!!

[@brightbeak]

I was watching this live from my corner of Canada, tuning in every hour for ~10 minutes each lap once it was about 60. I remember feeling very wrung out as each incredible runner bowed out until it was Phil, Sam, and Harvey. Then I was just waiting, biting my nails. The last couple laps where Sam was just hurting was tough - I know what pneumonia is like, and I can’t imagine how deep he had to dig for those last few yards. Then at the start of 102, when he got into racer’s stance, I knew this was it. I have to admit there were some serious tears. This documentary brought every emotion back, all of them. It was also great to see the early victories of folks who came for PBs not last one standing. That’s the real heart of the Backyard. The early ones who leave it all out there but have a new best ever then the last one standing - they all proved something. Running changes a person, at their core. And those of us privileged enough to witness it are also changed for the better. Kudos for wringing out so many tears.

[@Runneratdawn]

I discovered ultrarunning last year, even though I'm ultrarunning yet. Im growing in the sport, step by step. Ok this magnificent doc I could really see why running is an extraordinary sport. This doc is showing only 50% of what running is. The other 50% are inside their hearts, their souls and the experience had within them. Congratulations on this amazing production. All participants are extraordinary.

[@RunningAlive]

I knew this race was epic! But this documentary absolutely captured all the feelings. I felt like I was experiencing the various journeys of the runners along the way. So, so, sooo good!

[@homonym7638]

You know shit's real when you get to 367km and there's still 30 minutes left in the run time

[@homonym7638]

...and one minute later a guy's taken out in an ambulance

[@LibanganTV_24]

Just came across this documentary and it it doesn’t waste any tick of a clock watching. Congratulations to all of you

[@deadcowgully372]

Thanks so much for watching

[@jameskimberly175]

Sam Harvey is a KILLER ! Can not wait for Bigs. This event is what sucked me into Backyard ultras. The Harvey Show ! Also, Phil Gore obviously a maniac.

[@ceheck]

I‘ve already come back repeatedly to this doc which is more like a full movie on its own. And whenever I come back, the first thing that comes to my mind is „Sam Harvey is a KILLER !“ He absolutely is. Pure inspiration!

[@lhuce7586]

I'm speechless. Incredible

[@peterdenness7399]

First class documentary, inspiring

[@TrailRunningZen]

"Better than Meth" --That would be the most awesome slogan/shirt for this race!

[@DOCUMEANT_MEDIA]

Incredibly motivational and well captured!!! Ollie is a legend!

[@amboshable]

Superb doco. One of the best running stories I’ve had the pleasure of watching

[@TheJarp03]

Great production value and amazing story telling! This was incredible. A credit to all behind the camera and out on the loop. What a moment to capture.

[@RichRuns909]

What an awesome documentary. It makes my Back Yard ultra attempt look so miniscule. These guys are extraordinary.

[@ryanwaddington1598]

That was bloody epic!!!! And what what a show of love and support! Especially for two blokes from small countries like Aus and NZ!

[@robynrobertson728]

To the Athletes… could not be more in awe more humbled and more inspired from watching your deeply vulnerable journey … ultra culture is so powerful To the race director and race team and volunteers … this is such a beautiful part of the world - thanks for sharing it with the wider trail and ultra and running families To the production team… incredible work best ultra trail doco for a long time

[@andygreves4502]

Amazing! Until today I had no idea people could run so far. Such a good video folks

[@Hellcat831]

This deserves 1000000x more love than it's getting. Just excellent from Start to finish. Kudos.

[@xokent]

If not the best running docos I’ve ever watched!!! Captured the essence of ultra running, no ego, just human spirit!

[@ciarandeeney8967]

I've never seen a running documentary like this it's amazing great work. These guys are just built differently!!

[@petebarber6778]

This was life changing to watch....Thankyou Sam & Phil for such super human strength and fortitude!..........great art Dan!

[@stefanozich]

[@Arisafari77]

Amazed by these runners, reminds me of the film 'They Shoot Horses Don't They' all about the craze for dance marathons in 1930s.

Great doco legends 👊 so many epic stories happen that should be told like this

[@trevorwild195]

Good doc! Love the build up.

[@andrewdelprete]

Couldn’t imagine what that amount of exertion and lack of sleep feels like. I’d love to know the athletes avg heart rates, calorie intake, amount of sleep, etc…

[@calebmccaffery1752]

What an amazing watch. Gore looked unbreakable.

[@Luke9vs23]

Did not think this was humanly possible. How do you cover that many miles for that long with basically no sleep!?!?! great video!
