From the Ground Up | S4 Ep. 5 | Mind Over Matter

[@AaronCorcoran1]

Man, I love this. I did Leadville this year because of this series--I went from two hip surgeries and never having done a mountain bike race to a year of dedicated training and a belt buckle!

[@marcoprima218]

someone cutting onions? Thank you for the inspiration that you share to the world. Great job everyone.

[@mike_deaton]

no lie! Wow

[@nalissa77]

I’m not crying. You are. Wow what an ending. Congrats to the team. Just amazing and inspiring.

[@mikewikstrom3416]

As an avid cyclist, I'm pretty numb to the idea that some of these things are challenges so I start this series every year with a level of jaded indifference. Then we get to the last episode and you break me down EVERY SINGLE TIME. The experience is very similar whether you're first or last finisher. It's hard. You're out there long enough to have periods where you don't feel great and doubt yourself. Then things come around and you catch a second or third wind. We're all trying our best, we're just doing it at different speeds. What matters is pushing yourself and not giving up. Kudos to all the riders.

Brandi Lee’s “Lfg” after the last aid gave me goosebumps… and Kristin finding the turbo boosters in the end like that was friggin electric… my fire is now lit to get after it next season. Did not expect to be happy crying on this Friday morning but here we are😂 you all are badasses!

[@touron119]

This series came out at the correct time!! I’m currently in the recliner for 12 weeks after a bad crash while training for an xc race!! As a 50yr old, I’ve been struggling with giving up biking. Rich was a true motivation of encouragement to keep riding!!🤘🤘

[@rickh.3023]

I hope this series never ends, thank you to everyone involved. #perseverance

[@Dlp1776]

I am a long time cross country and endurance mountain bike racer, and the riders in this challenge are more inspiring than anything I’ve seen. Riders with all kinds of challenges. Just an awesome group of people and a great video. Thanks for making my day and inspiring me to keep on pedaling. Let’s Fn Go!!!!!

[@PNWmtnBKR]

So damn inspiring. You all crushed it! Kristen is a monster! Crying with you all.

[@jonnycarroll9531]

Kristen and her family are as amazing in real life as they are in this show. I've had the privilege of coaching her kid in NICA the last few years and now she's inspiring me and my kids. On an unrelated note, my allergies were really acting up on this episode.

[@haroldbergdoll5169]

Each of the 4 riders did a fantastic job. Hold your head high, you got this!!

[@Matteo2jay]

As a 40 year old new to cycling in general, this was super motivating! Thank you to all.

[@duathlete827]

What a great accomplishment for all of these participants. They all conquered so many emotional and physical obstacles on a very grueling ride for even the fittest cyclists. I'm a cyclist of 40 years and at 72 still enjoy riding and know how difficult the ride must have been for them. They each had a warrior mentality defeating many nasty demons each mile. Prayers for continued success!

[@awarriorscall1]

Absolutely amazing. A true testament of how the mind body and soul come together . Especially when you’re surrounded by loving people.

[@ShawnIsBatman]

I have followed every season of this series and this current edition did not disappoint. Congratulations to the creators and editors for a truly special set of videos. Massive congratulations, respect and kudos to the participants, you are truly legends! You are the inspiration and the role models that we should be holding up to ourselves!

[@BillShearn]

I love this... We always have the opportunity to write a better story ....to choose to do and believe in yourself... This is heartwarming and inspiring....thank you all...

[@robertfranks3644]

What a fantastic performance from all 4 of you, well done from South Wales, UK.

[@rickyfretwell]

Thanks to everyone involved in this production. All the riders should be super proud of themselves. #neverquit

[@saraz5587]

Amazing and inspiring! Thank you for sharing their stories

[@MardenBandeira]

Am I supposed to be crying watching this? Amazing series! Congrats to you all!

[@mikesheetz9134]

Way2go everyone. Way 2 stay tough Kristen! I broke my femur 100 yards from the finish at Iceman this year (still finished) , and I swore I wasn’t doing another race but after watching this and seeing the no quit attitude I’ll think I’ll jump on the bike as soon as I can. Thank you for the motivation and inspiration!!!

[@GilVallo]

Wow, Just Wow! These episodes are so amazing. I hate to admit it brought me tears of joy. The participants inspire me. I can't wait to watch another season.

[@ercmadden]

Holy shit. What a group of badasses.

[@susanneklein4664]

Damn that was a good deal more emotional than I expected. So happy for all four to go way past what they thought was possible. That's what it's all about!

[@Jimstrainingworkouts]

I love this video because it's about the everyday folks, not just the elite.

[@michaelphilipp5192]

Great series!!

[@SHWELL11]

[@jasonhorn696]

[@Rm09021954]

Well done! great video and so inspiring.

[@jeremy_tai]

Good things come to those who wait.

[@Y3riel]

WOW 🤩🥳 Gratz to all the riders and thanks for making this series (available all at once!)

[@duttyvegan]

Ah man, love this content ❤

[@davidweisz3338]

Your riders are so inspiring! What a journey and accomplishment for all of them.

[@jeffsummers960]

So inspiring! Great job by everybody

[@bombero3368]

Thoroughly enjoyed the series!

[@cdad99]

Thanks for the video. Amazing work all the way around.

[@mike_deaton]

Damn! Inspirational. What a great season. Well done. I've been waffling on signing up for the Lead Challenge in Leadville and this may have just tipped the scales. 👏

[@ashlygalownia2055]

Amazing job to you all!!! You are all a big inspiration for me to keep following my dreams❤

[@drpulpit]

YES!!! and YESSS again!

[@mrvwbug4423]

This years went a lot better than last year. 3 out of 4 finishing is great. I know a lot of people had issues with last years when none of the riders made the time cutoff for Columbine that they chose too difficult of an event for a beginner with 6 months of training.

[@Redheadedrascal81]

So awesome! Congratulations!!! So inspiring!

[@SaberFTW]

Pretty amazing stuff here

[@jagoss45]

SO GOOD!!!!!!! TRULY INSPIRING!!!

[@jeffrochford2183]

Things can change. If you just believe in yourself and work hard, things can change.

[@HRD224]

Amazing moment

[@ian1447]

I'm not crying, you're crying.

[@christinacooper3954]

In awe ❤

[@zackrides265]

I ain't no sissy....but there's some kinda lump in my throat. Love this !

[@TheDustyDutchman]

Fuck yeah.

[@jameskiddlelivingtrust5508]

I don’t feel so bad, even Ryan and Alexey were crying.

[@mikecardwell6497]

That was awesome.😍😍😍🚵‍♀️
