Nikken VS The Girls || Big Moves And Big Falls

[@rglo1016]

As a female viewer, I also LOVED having a whole video featuring just Julia and Vivi. Please do this more often--it's inspiring, highlights more diversity of movement (which is helpful for all climbers to see) and serves as a reminder that this community can also be mine. I also (as a really short gal) liked seeing the comparison and acknowledgment of the difference in movement between a smaller vs. longer body type, and I liked seeing Nikken's tweaking process/his attempts at making the boulder equally doable for both. Also, like someone said, it was nice to see a reminder in real time that it's easy for even super professional, experienced, highly aware routesetters to misjudge reach and difficulty for different body types. I felt seen. Nikken's humility makes these videos for me!!

[@EricKarlsson]

Thank you for writing such a great comment! I'm very happy to see that you enjoy the videos :) All the best!

[@sitasin6545]

The idea of adding in small little crimps or similar that don't matter for the taller crowd but make the boulder function more like it's intended is super cool, really wish it was done more. Nikken is so good at setting

[@Deathranger999]

Love that Nikken set with multiple body types in mind, it’s such a good thought as a route setter that I feel like I don’t see often at the gyms I frequent. Good video. :) Edit: Or at least, he attempts to. Good to see the adjustments he made when he realized it wasn’t quite what he intended. :)

[@jaimseygirl2594]

Such a great video! As a female viewer I love to see Vivi and Julia crushing. 😍 It’s also always cool to see how a variety of climbers with different body types and strengths handle each problem. ✌️💛

[@Preset1]

The videos are always humorous, seeing Julia slap the starting holds left me in stitches and the rest kept me in stitches. The community on this channel is unreal, everyone helping everyone get to where they'd like to go 🥰

[@JunNozaki]

Super interesting to see how even someone as experienced as Nikken can misjudge how far a move can be, despite the fact that he's already super aware of the mechanics of each move he sets. Amazing content as always, love these insights as setting boulders seems like black magic to me.

[@deslomator]

There's something so soothing in the way you film the setting parts; that canvas/wall section was beautiful. It was good to see the difference in Vivi and Julia's betas.

[@palomacarrion2356]

Amazing set by Nikken! Terrific sends by both Vivi and Julia, so strong!! Loved how Julia figured out her own beta when she realised the intended one would not work for her. Also, too funny when Nikken said at the beginning 'These are super comfortable slopers...' and then went on to add '...for me' 😂😂😂Deep down, he must know he is not like the rest of us mortals 😍😂 Great video, Eric, thank you all!!

[@finnweber56]

I love that Nikken uses the elbow rule as well😂 Though our gym where the only ones

[@leannefok]

mind explaining what the elbow rule is? didn't understand what he was doing. edit: oh i see the answer below :)

[@chrisembryclimbing]

Terrific set as always Nikken, and great shots, audio and production as always Eric. Can't wait to see more.

[@zach6.5jones27]

I like how the UFO shaped holds are called Roswell’s👽

[@captainkater6776]

It's always nice to see when Nikken gets to play with aesthetically pleasing holds. One happy boy

[@n8n8n8]

bring back Captain Yokoyama to climb with the girls!

[@nickpov3y]

Absolutely more of these 2 please :)

[@TheNitram8]

Oh god i recognize those holds. The slipery donuts are my nemesis

[@patrickhamacher1781]

The scene with Nikken @3:50 is so frickin EPIC. The music fits so well and creates a rather special atmosphere, utter MAGIC. What's the song if you don't mind me asking? :)

[@luisterken895]

New video from Eric 🎉🎉🎉 always such a pleasure to watch your chanel man !! Amazing route setting from Nikken, this guy man its just incredible, I hope one day I can climb one of his Boulder 🙏🏼 Amazing to see SNAP hold too because our gym snap it's our big partner so I know how every hold feel so it's cool to understand without doing the boulder how the hold are !! And we use so many snap stuff chalk bag, brushes, clothes, bags, crash pads ( btw looking forward to see the outdoor video 🤩). Amazing you could collaborate with SNAP! Take care ✌🏽🇧🇪

[@Firetoicee]

The last sequence of the boulder is amazing, props to Vivi she crushed it !!!

[@DiikkeAap]

I love the positivity in the comment section of this video :)

[@Mylada]

This is such a good combo of climbers. Such different body types and Nikken is in the middle :D

[@sylan4094]

Such a fun, and wholesome video. Loved seeing the progress of the boulder, and Vivi's falls! Nothing better than a 110%

[@WilsonVidz]

Roswell. Like the UFOs

[@TheJesster257]

We need more of the girls! It's so encouraging for my wife to see some girls crushing it!

[@tobiasses94]

I'm loving Vivi's macho energy 😁

[@markhubb33]

Great seeing the girls in the vids. Watch these with my wife and she gets ideas and inspiration watching them.

[@thereasonabletroll68]

I’ve seen this discussed a couple times when it comes to World Cup boulders, but it’s wild how the entire difficulty and character of a Boulder changes based on someone’s height

[@alejand5]

Can you make an especific video about setting? I always watch nikken mesuring with his elbow and I wanna know more (and why)

[@loveroos627]

Supertrevligt träffas på gymmet! En till banger här. Både filmande, set och klättring 👌👌

[@spike5888]

Grattis Nikken och Vivi :))

[@Gj_frames]

Got the opportunities to try it before it was gone, really nice boulder! Didn’t send it, as it was tried late in the session. But it was really fun! :)

[@kickimeijer5271]

Hope this including body style setting becomes a trend. Liked the ”old” elbow setting👍

[@picklerick7731]

Man I tear my thumbs capsule. No climbing for me for a while.

[@Revtheoryhellyeah]

It was really interesting to see Nikken testing the reachability of the holds by touching them with his elbow, I wonder if in his day to day route setting he decides to create boulders that are meant for shorter people.

[@dane2551]

this is how it's always done?

[@Revtheoryhellyeah]

@@dane2551 I don't know, is it?

[@klimmersimon]

Damn wat a great video was this! The holds, the shots, the gym, the climbers! Everything was just great! I hope I van visit that gym one day because it is so so beautiful. Also, I bought myself the shirt Nikken is wearing! Thanks for the discount ❤️

[@EricKarlsson]

Thanks for the Love and support man 🥰

[@Dave1507]

Super comfortable sloper he says, while we see a disgustingly shiny hold with apparently no texture at all... I guess comfort is relative ;) Anyway, I really like those setting videos, gives us a great insight in how these boulders come to be and lets me as a "consumer" appreciate them even more.

[@mardev2967]

When Nikken touches the holds with his elbows, is he checking for different body sizes?

[@pyre753]

banger video as always :)

[@liam2490]

Yoo it's be great to see Nikken do some lead climbing again

[@moeterbank]

more of them!

[@kylezindel314]

What shoes does Nikken use

[@hugodecharsonville2284]

Great video !! AND great boulders btw the code doesn't seem to work...

That's strange, I will talk to snap :)

Hey man, it works now :)

[@Theboardbro]

Such a flipping great video!

[@SnowmansApartment]

it just released.. 😅 did you watch it in 5x speed?

[@Ducksnuget]

You use your elbow to measure something, what are you measuring?

[@finnweber56]

If smaller people can reach there. It’s really hard to tell sometimes

[@jamoni082]

thanks mate

[@Themissgee1234]

Tried the snap code and it doesn't work :(

Yeah I sent snap I mail about it, I'm sorry :( what where you planning on buying?

sheesh we here for it!

[@svenningen]

What a bloc!

[@maiklem]

Why is this not Nikken’s channel?

[@swellfordays7388]

Because Eric puts in a ton of work for this channel. He directs, films, edits, and features a ton of route setters and climbers, not just Nikken. I like Nikken as much as the next person but please respect all of the love and effort that Eric puts into his craft!

[@philipmack5668]

First??

[@EricKarlsson]

First! ;D

[@BillSkatez]

The girls are amazing 😍 I will not comment on Julia other than to say she seems to be an amazing person and I don't want you feeling awkward as she is your girlfriend I think 👍🏻 But Vivi... OMG that woman is spectacular! Gorgeous, fit, fearless... I wanna have HER babies! ❤️‍🔥😎🥵🤤 Please never say that she's got a significant other. Let me dream 😍
