The reality that probably haunts Nick Bares dreams

[@lionelmaxwell6484]

​@ftravis6840 that's too funny 😂

[@Shanksy9]

It was a pleasure welcoming you to the event and seeing you compete Fergus. You are exactly the type of athlete that makes the DD Games so special 😎👍❤️

[@ftravis6840]

That 'DIG IN' in that powerful Scotch accent got me fired up.

[@ferguscrawley95]

Big energy for sure.

[@josh_adams_fit]

Coincidentally I tried strong man training for the first time over the weekend it's hard to describe just how awkward everything actually is can't imagine how hard natural stones are

[@ferguscrawley95]

It’s basically awkwardness and pain tolerance for time.

[@craiglewis2734]

Amazing performance Fergus. Pleasure competing alongside you, put the ego aside and really challenged yourself and you crushed it. Thanks for the kind words too, hopefully get the opportunity to compete again but I ain’t doing an Ironman anytime soon 😂 💪

[@harrisashraff]

It was great to meet you, brother. And thanks for covering Donald Dinnie Day. This year I pulled the Dinnies and was the first person from India to do so. Next year I will be participating in the rest of the events.

[@andylawson]

Was such a pleasant surprise when you asked me where the registration tent was - didn’t expect to meet you there, amongst so many strength legends. It was a great day. Well done!

[@craigwoodburn1189]

Scaled down it be cool if they had events like this during school etc. Keep the Scottish Strength community growing.

[@dillost234]

Really appreciate your thoughts on putting aside ego in favor of curiosity. As I've begun to take my fitness seriously, I have had several moments, mainly involving classes or fitness in front of others, where I get in my own head and let it be a hindrance. Being curious has been a way to get around that.

[@ferguscrawley95]

Great to hear, thank you!

[@TimWhild]

You are officially a fucking beast Fergus! I love all of your challenges but this was the furthest from my abilities and most people would never try it…you did amazingly well!

[@ferguscrawley95]

Appreciate that sir thank you!

[@markmcfadden7428]

Congrats on a great showing.

[@vickielouisefit]

Definitely do it again! I compete in the sport and honestly the adrenaline crash is no joke. I’m out for the count the day after a comp.

[@xxAoPxx]

On a list of over 100 channels on KZbin I follow at this time, your videos are among the very few I don't just habitually add to the queue but genuinely look forward to ever since getting one of your videos recommended by the algorithm. You're just an amazing individual, inspirational, self-reflective, uplifting even in challenging situations. Fantastic VLOG on your first venture into Strongman, great impressions from the event and events as well as bringing across the mood, the spirit, the aura. Thank you for this.

[@ferguscrawley95]

This is great to read thank you! Massively appreciate the faith and support 🤝

[@davesslowgt]

Man it took serious stones to put yourself out there and make this video but I think it rocked and you kilt it.

[@allyi302]

They're all so nice and encouraging 😊 Feel like you got done on a couple of carries by the lack of bagpipe music

[@allandrever1518]

Excellent video, ive just signed up for my first stonelifting comp so taking notes!😂

[@kylecameron9772]

You truly show what the human body is capable of. Incredible mate. Firm handshakes and kisses from New Zealand.

[@ferguscrawley95]

Appreciate that Kyle thank you!

[@Shevock]

Such an interesting event. Cool bit of tradition.

[@miamidolphinsfan]

Congratulations Fergus. While not on that podium, you still acquitted yourself very proudly. Next time you'll get that last stone !!! Again super congratulations Fergus, it looks like an awesome & super great event. 😊👍😊💯😊

[@andrewgilbertson5356]

Brilliant

[@ferguscrawley95]

🤝

[@shanepetersen7572]

Mate that was so impressive I was actually shouting out at the TV like it was live😂

[@ferguscrawley95]

Hahah class 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@scottcharlton129]

Well done. Great effort

[@levibunyan5091]

Was nice to briefly meet you at the games! Congrats again

[@ferguscrawley95]

Thank you my man!

[@beardedsloth7805]

[@Melmc1403]

Well done Fergus......unreal achievement 💪

[@jaymesmith5740]

So cool Fergus! Congrats from a fellow hybrid athlete! I’ve very much been anticipating this video. I was in Scotland the day before and was fortunate to have the opportunity to become #246 to lift the Dinnie Stones. Unfortunately I had to fly out the day of this event but I now have a big goal for my next trip to Scotland! 💪

[@ferguscrawley95]

Huge well done! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@jaymesmith5740]

@@ferguscrawley95 thanks! You as well and I can’t wait to see what you have lined up next!

[@williamthompson2099]

Unreal shift! Absolutely brilliant! Love the Scottish games!

[@ferguscrawley95]

Thank you! Was a great day out 🫡

[@suffolk.candles]

Love it, strongman is a huge passion!

[@ferguscrawley95]

Great fun!

[@thesea4120]

Very impressive congrats!, also just a bit curious as to your lack of Scottish accent, you doing like you've got a home counties accent more than anything?

[@willdaly8448]

Awesome vid, looked like a great day. Omnia "Strongman and 5k" plan in the works then? 😉

[@RichardMikulskij]

I truly love your content!

[@ferguscrawley95]

I appreciate that! 🫡

[@gordo1002]

Amazing achievement, amazing effort, amazing experience! Bloody amazing!

[@ferguscrawley95]

Thank you! I agree, great fun.

[@annvirco7308]

I'd never heard of these games until today, interesting video 😁👍

[@ferguscrawley95]

They were great!

[@youssefbayoumi857]

One of my favourite athletes ever and one of my favourite sports in the world. Chef's kiss!! Love it. Keep it up bro!

[@ferguscrawley95]

Great to hear!

[@KarenSimpson-m2g]

Well done Fergus!! I was at the Gathering and thought you did really well for your first go at the Games! I was willing that fourth stone on the final stone run to go up - you’ll get it next time!! Was hoping to say how much I enjoy your videos when I saw you at the arena but you looked very determined so didn’t want to disturb you. Really well done again!

[@ferguscrawley95]

Appreciate that thank you! Should’ve said hello, I can switch between lasered/nonchalant quite well 😂

[@matti7529]

Wow. Go you! Super impressed, that looked absolutely awesome, what an achievement, what an experience. Drink it in and let it flow through you. I’m genuinely inspired by your accomplishments as I’m sure many other viewers will be, and the next time I need to dig really deep to lift heavy (for me) I’ll have in mind that look on your face to either encourage me or perhaps frighten me!

[@ferguscrawley95]

Awesome to hear sir thank you!

[@WorldHistoria111]

Awesome stuff brother!

[@ferguscrawley95]

Thank you!

[@JamesGoodwin1994]

You are an absolute machine of a human Fergus! You’re the true definition of In Omnia Paratus!

[@ferguscrawley95]

Appreciate that my man thank you!

[@IamDannyM]

Wow Fergus ! 🫨. I was genuinely nervous for you watching this but it was very entertaining !! Absolute Tank mate and Kudos to you, most people won’t realise just how heavy all that was 👊🏻

[@ferguscrawley95]

Thank you for watching! Haha it all felt heavy enough 😂

[@makaveliamgaming8952]

Great job Fergus 👊🏼

[@ferguscrawley95]

Thank you!

[@CodyBunker]

That would be so fun to go and compete in.

[@ferguscrawley95]

Can confirm!

[@karenlaw5788]

Just curious as to what tartan you wear? Looks like MacLaren. And well done, they were some big pebbles 😅

[@misty-dampak2436]

My partner just said ‘oh is that the lad that runs around lakes?’ Sorry Fergus, I’ve had words.

[@ferguscrawley95]

Tbf I have ran around some lakes…

[@nelsonbaron3186]

Can you try the murph sir?

[@ferguscrawley95]

Maybe at some point, not something I’m particularly interested in tbh 🤷‍♂️ (not in a critical way, just doesn’t get me amped up personally!)

[@JackChickenwing]

6:16 when you couldnt get a parking spot outside your house and you only want to do one trip with the weekly shop.

[@ferguscrawley95]

Hahaha exactly this!

[@seanmcdonagh6237]

Shoulda dropped a stone on the bagpipers gee whizz

[@braydonmccormack6191]

hook gripping those stones made my thumbs hurt

[@ferguscrawley95]

Mine are still angry with me…
