One of the most exhilarating aspects of trail running is letting go and charging down a trail. It may sound crazy but running down is often harder and more challenging than running up. As with most things in life, practice makes perfect. British Fell Runners, Ricky Lightfoot and Tom Owens head to Iceland in search of the perfect downhill.

So cool

[@TheKlaftboy89]

Great video, any idea of top speeds achieved? Would be interesting.

[@KateMorrison92]

Good way to spend your down time.

[@redrum8348]

Down hill running best feeling ! 😁

[@MontgomeryMonsters]

Awesome

[@darkrbot]

very nice！

[@brianharder7714]

Nice imagery. Obviously these boys need to come up to Alaska and take some advanced lessons on Mount Marathon. They'll be dialed in no time.

[@RunningIntoMyself]

Yes! Yes! Yes!

What a beautiful and desolate landscape I would love to run in Iceland

[@AllKinaTing]

[@ksteege]

Cant wait to go to Iceland this summer - is there any way to download the song? Been looking for it.

Hard!!

[@shunnaizhao1735]

Cool~~

[@maze312]

What shoes did they wear @SalomonTrailRunning ?

[@ArturKoziara]

Would really like to see making of video of this series!

[@JustAnotherRunner]

No kidding. How do they get such smooth shots?

[@ArturKoziara]

+Just Another Runner gimbals, gimbals everywhere :)

[@JustAnotherRunner]

Right... but while running backwards? or holding it behind them while they run down?

[@ArturKoziara]

+Just Another Runner there must have been rails involved for the slope shoots. Gimbals can now get pretty small but powerful enough to support full size dslr camera

[@JustAnotherRunner]

dang. It would be fun to see for sure!

[@TRILLBASEDGODFUCKME]

this seems like a sure way to injure yourself, how does one avoid heel striking while running full pelt down a skree slope? is there a technical aspect to this I might be overlooking?

[@CRneu]

The loose rock provides a pretty good cushion. There is definitely more risk of injury but descents like this are so much fun that you can easily overlook the added danger.

[@nilsp9426]

A lot of force is carried over into that gliding motion. On soft snow this is actually pretty light on the knees compared to walking, in my experience. But you need to watch out for any kind of "speed bump" that you might trip over or get stuck at. Also as you said: don't push into your legs, avoid heel striking. Carry over the force forward and absorb any shocks with muscles power, not your knees. Lower your hips a little, avoid straight legs (0:28).

[@lensarmstrong1616]

positive! :)

[@touge242]

Now imagine that with 3 feet of pow. I want winter back.

[@vanessawillson713]

WOW

[@luizfellipecortat518]

Hipnótic

[@YapitTseng]

I like downhill

[@88fredmcfred]

Thinking of buying a new pair of Salomon Tights at >$1000 in my currency - then on one of the first runs tearing the ass out of them :~(

[@carlotonio9602]

seriously?

[@drtisbeter]

Bleeping heel-strikers... ;)

[@Zhendizer]

wtf is this? there are their bikes?

[@marcmongango]

ahorren para ir al fisio o traumatologo, para tratarse fascitis plantar!!

[@freddyfrediere8275]

RA-IN NA-IN

[@vanmoerlogisticscyclingtea5056]

山肌を削るような走り方は美しくないですね。

[@brianharder7714]

Nice imagery. Obviously these boys need to come up to Alaska and take some advanced lessons on Mount Marathon. They'll be dialed in no time.
