@Nick Symmonds my grandfather was a professor at The University Of Oregon. His name was Barry Miller. Was he your professor?

[@eringolembewski3101]

Love the second channel as well. Go check it out everyone.

I don’t know much about Idaho but I can imagine Ice block racing being the most Idaho-like activity ever🤣

[@nicksymmonds]

or juggling potatoes!! :D

[@patrickyang6773]

I’m a New York boy and I’m so confused by wtf is going on

[@illegalenlightenmentproduc6684]

Boise ID here. Simplot hill is the go to spot for night time ice blocking.

[@pauljanke9037]

I live in Idaho and it is actually really normal. I live in the north tho. It’s kinda like Canada.

[@sarahboyd6154]

God bless🥰

[@garycarroll5337]

Nick, this was fantastic. Thanks for coming out and doing this event. My kids enjoyed racing you and taking your $$$. I appreciate the drone footage of my older son getting tripped up by little brother and eating grass. That was hilarious!

[@benmazor7288]

You could have gone faster if the ice blocks were wearing alphaflys

[@nicksymmonds]

ha!! :D

[@cruz9413]

Hahaha

[@maheshnaik561]

You never know how difficult it is to run 1:40 in the 800m unless you try it yourself and try to break it. Hats off to you Nick for being in the race that the world record was set. Love you last kick on the home stretch. It's the KILLER MOVE you have.

[@maheshnaik561]

Also, what's your exact height in centimetres?

[@samallebach3318]

Nick, “Whoever wins gets a CrIsP $100 bill.

Gotta keep em CRISPY!!

12:57 I never laughed so hard in my life 😂😂😂😂😂

[@jeremiahknoch1397]

That race at the end was insane tho I was laughing so hard

[@maxlandy7642]

Got to say i love these videos. Harmless fun and entertainment and great for the community spirit. With your enthusiasm I can't help but watch them. Love how you always look after the little ones. Keeps them engaged and adds to your likeable character. Nice work Nick. Wish I could get run gum in the UK, but its so expensive. I take caffeine tablets 30-60 min before a run which deliver 200mg, would love to compare them to the gum.

[@glenn_lefer7767]

12:56 Can we get an F in the chat for the kid that fell during the race 😂

That last race kinda looked like cheese rolling! 😂

[@Appaddict01]

You should totally do a cheese race.

[@suzannegebhards8070]

I grew up in Boise and would often go by Simplots Hill and see the remnants of the previous days ice block sliding (small melting blocks of ice) activity. Super fun to see it as a race event.

[@Hashlime]

Hey Nick, love your vids. I just wanted to ask if there’s anyway u could update the links for the shoes that you recommend in the description? Some of them don’t work anymore. Thanks

Video idea: Decathlon or Multi-event Competition! (could remove or be creative with some events that are tough to organize, like maybe swap in planks for pole vault)

Very creative and funny! Keep it up :)

You should do a challenge where its a mile, but every lap you have to drink 16oz of ice cold water, the coldest possible, while wearing a 24lb vest

Nick does know how to have fun

[@nicksarinana3489]

I like how you pay people, not just giving out for free even if those are fun events, unlike most KZbinrs.

[@menahelmy4131]

Wow this is a different type of race

[@sir_sack]

I don’t think you’ve done it already, but a really cool video would be an elimination race vs subscribers. The way it would work is that after every lap the person in last gets eliminated and the rest keep on running, last one standing wins.

[@iRunfastXC]

I been saying: come compete in the BYU eggnog challenge this year 🤣
