RIPPED SHORTS! - The Craziest Race In Ireland

[@TravelRunner]

Wow that does that race look incredibly fun. A bucket list race for sure! Awesome video, Stephen!

[@StephenJReid]

Thanks! Yeah it’s quite a lot of fun. 😁

[@SashaGogosh]

I had so much fun just watching this! Great story telling, the way you built up on the climb, the climax and then the FUN journey down. Another brilliant video mate!

[@StephenJReid]

Thanks very much Sasha! I always try and edit videos as a series of build-ups and payoffs, glad you noticed! 🙂 Are you a runner?

[@SashaGogosh]

Stephen J Reid Nope not a runner at all, i just find your videos enjoyable.

[@AdamNodwell]

Yes! love this, think I'l try and enter this next year!

[@StephenJReid]

It’s great! Just watch out as spaces are limited and it usually sells out very quickly.

[@galloglas6907]

Lurig, Knocklayd or Slemish always a guaranteed bokefest for the uninitiated. Welcome to North Antrim from a Glensman. Well done Stephen.

[@StephenJReid]

Slemish is often underestimated to the peril of many a walker

[@colinp5248]

Looked hilarious and a killer and the same time, kind of like the movie "it"! 😂 Thanks Stephen, great video.

[@StephenJReid]

Hiya Georgie! You’ll slide too, we all slide down here. 🤣

[@SonnyGreenwichJr]

That was amazing! Haha! I laughed, I cried! My hat's off to you and see you in Belfast! Salutations from misty Kinsale! ☘️💪🏽👀👍🏽☘️

[@StephenJReid]

😁 Thanks Sonny, see you there!

[@letsreviewhouston]

Great video mate. Lol. Such a fun run. Great intro and the hero 7 looks great while sliding 😂. Awesone drone shots 👏💪. Tip for next yr. Cardboard shorts or pants . 😎

[@StephenJReid]

Cardboard shorts! 🤣 A few people have suggested bringing a turkey oven tray. Would be chaos! Thanks 🙂

[@letsreviewhouston]

@@StephenJReid oh man an oven tray would be like sleding on ice 😂🤣

[@KCadbyRacing]

Awesome Stephen👍 I'd be happy to take an entire day hiking up there with the cameras and drone 😍

[@StephenJReid]

Well worth it, you can walk for miles along the top of the Glen.

[@TheYearIGotTheRuns]

That looked like an amazing event. Congrats!

[@StephenJReid]

Was rather enjoyable! Thanks. 🙂

[@DavidDoyleOutdoors]

Nice of your fan club to come out to support you ;) I might take a walk up it some day, and maybe a slide down. Looks like a similar height and steepness to slemish.

[@StephenJReid]

😂 It’s easier than Slemish in some ways as it’s much less rocky, but it’s just incredibly steep in places.

[@titanvision.studio413]

Great video Stephen. Keep going. Cheers ;)

[@StephenJReid]

Thanks John! 🙂

[@SolveTheSpooky]

Bahaha what an absolute epic type of run !!! Mind the grass burn !!!

[@StephenJReid]

You should see the state of the backs of my thighs! Looks like they’ve been sandpapered! 🤣

[@rednome5443]

Ah Yes! That well known authentic Northern Ireland experience “The Lurig Wedgie” truly an integral part of any visit to our fine country. For real though I couldn’t stop laughing at the sight of so many grown people sliding down a mountain on their backsides at once 😂 Thought you were all going to crash at one point.

[@StephenJReid]

Bunch of kids really. 🤣

[@ivanmckeown5296]

Brilliant video stephen! Benson wants to join you and mousey next time.😀

[@StephenJReid]

😂 Benson will be used to the speed with the motorbike 🙈 🏍

[@saiba9050]

Beautiful vlogs mate, watching from 🇦🇺

[@StephenJReid]

Hello Canada! Oh wait. 🤣 thanks 😁 🦘 need to go for a wee run around Oz

[@kellyvandiessen3488]

So cool :)

[@Aloneinhills]

Awk mate missed you again, i must of literally been behind you, probably pulling the mountain from my boxers lol

[@StephenJReid]

I had no idea it was such a big event, pretty hard to spot people! Should have had the 360camera on the pole with me. 🤣

[@Aloneinhills]

@@StephenJReid yes pal it sells out in minutes, have to say its the most enjoyable race i have ever done & cant wait to do it next year again. 360 on pole would of been awesome..

[@clairedavis3821]

That looks amazing! I need to do this race 😅

[@clairedavis3821]

I had to come back to this - I'm actually doing this race later today 🎉🙈😂💪

[@TheFODRunner]

Haha amazing mate! Was this a race or a giant mud slide?!?!

[@StephenJReid]

The FOD Runner An actual race, winner finished in 29mins. Took me 46 🤣

[@TheFODRunner]

Stephen J Reid 😱

[@chuckmarineau4684]

Dude, You have a talent at this.... Did you have the gorpo on a wrist mount , or were you holding it on a shorty ?

[@StephenJReid]

Thanks Chuck! 🙂 I just held it on a little custom shorty. Don’t like mounting it on my person, I’d rather hold it and be in control. While sliding uncontrollably down a mountain...😁

[@chuckmarineau4684]

@@StephenJReid - Any suggestions ? Ill be in Donegal / and the North in 2 weeks... ANYWHERE in the North I should go that is not the norm... bushmills, caves etc... not the castles or gobbins, thats all being done, Im talking someplace cool and rando that you know of...

[@StephenJReid]

Glenariff Forest Park (Epic Valley and trail walk), Whitehead Promenade (colourful Victorian era seaside town), Gortin Quarry Carnlough, Slemish Mountain, Kinbane Head, Portmuck Harbour, Murlough Bay & Fair Head cliffs, Scawt Hill from Linford Road carpark & viewpoint. Those are all mostly in County Antrim where I’m from. If you search for “MEAdventures” on KZbin you’ll find a series of local exploring videos I’ve created. Mostly hidden gems.

[@StephenJReid]

See list in other comment. Here’s a link to a video that shows off Glenariff quite well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2jEaayIrLV0fcU Although not the best weather. 😁

[@chuckmarineau4684]

Looking at all this. You are awesome thanks. I’m droneing. And 2 hero 7 blacks. All the fixings. Hard to do 2 weeks in a backpack and a carry on And The backpack is full of gear. I refuse to do the adapter. For mic. I bet the 8 will have 1. Bluetooth mic. And no adapter needed. But ! I’m no early adopter for that tech need to wait a bit. I have seen ur mobile editing. That is great. I’ll be taking raw image with one and regular smart with the other.

[@rjohndraws]

That looks like a blast! Whats the weather over there been like . I'm here in Florida training for the Dingle Half in 93F degree weather

[@StephenJReid]

It was rather rather fun. 😁 it’s about 60F here and damp. But could be completely different by the time you are here. Tend to get multiple seasons in one day. 🤣

[@StephenJReid]

Dingle is amazing btw. It’s miles from me, but the south west is stunning.

[@rjohndraws]

@@StephenJReid Awesome at least my current regiment of running in stupid heat and humidity will get me ready for that kind of weather .. next thing to worry about are the hills , Florida doesn't have those .

[@rjohndraws]

@@StephenJReid We are supper excited to see it !

[@StephenJReid]

RJohnDraws Just run up and down stairs lots. 🤣

[@paddyhiggins]

Cycling shorts next year lad? Fair play.

[@StephenJReid]

I’ll get some Teflon coating! 🤣

[@TheOpenboater]

Wow.

[@KJM_Writes]

You’re insane! 😂 maybe you could try the Creag Dhubh Hill Race one year... don’t think you’d be sliding down on your butt though! www.newtonmore.com/things-to-do/in-newtonmore/running/creag-dhubh-hill-race.html

[@StephenJReid]

If I'm insane, then there's nearly 400 of us that day that were insane. 😂😂🤣🤣 Hmm take the channel on tour again...
