THE REAL THING 25 YEARS LATER

[@Route_2_V11]

this reminds me of trainspotting, kinda got the same 90's vibe to it.

[@REELROCK1]

Such an influential moment for climbing films and culture, thanks for the revisit!

[@wanderthewilderness]

I love how you kept the old electronic style music. This was awesome

[@peterjohnson2245]

Just bem ripping the original VHS to my PC, so good to watch again, id moved to Sheff in 96 so The Real Thing was cutting edge back there. I got most of the sound track too for when I was DJing and mates would come. Great the see this follow up

[@TourDeBloc]

This movie still gets me psyched after all these years!

[@MarcinZwir]

The best bouldering movie ever made!

[@pumpkini586]

Amen!

[@llovebeats3749]

The burnouts werent childish, they were awesome.

[@pinot7914]

Still has the VHS! Love it.....Such an influence on me! Was in Bleau more than 50 times.....once 3 months....after a shoulder injury I had to stop😢.....Miss it so much

[@richardbradley1532]

I had the VHS. no longer sadly but still a great fun film.

[@ploglet]

Still watch this video to this day. The scenes are so perfect around a climbing trips with your friends. Best video out there.

[@leeevans6213]

Both cars mega bucks now adays as well. Seen this millions of times love the music in it and all the messing about as that was we was all doing .

[@epm8805]

I watched this film so many times when it came out - loved it! I also bouldered with Marc a few times in Font - what an amazingly precise and controlled climber - unreal. Please tell me you've still got the cars!?

[@tombuckett1574]

Jerry's Lancia delta HF integrale 😍

[@jeremylane4136]

Daewon VS Rodney reference, yes!

[@campbellgodfrey53]

Triple figure viewing for sure....my first visit started going wonky it got played so much....and the soundtrack? Cor....soooo good!!!!

[@nopro_films]

I watched The Real Thing about 3 years ago ad I was mind blown! It changed my way to think about filming bouldering, and I always think about it when it comes to film some climbing action and the fun behind it! thanks for making such an ispirational masterpiece!!

[@mlkdfs]

I wish more people approached climbing videos like that.Most of climbing content nowadays really lacks creativity.

[@tombuckett1574]

The first song is a class track. The Man With No Name remix (artist of the second song/training scene music) is also a banger.

[@matthewsevers5862]

Man, I’m embarrassed to say this just made so many problem names in Leavenworth, WA makes sense. And I’ve seen the real thing, it just never clicked until now.

[@joak244]

Man the Real thing was so fucking rad. Love the music

[@daraghfinnegan]

I think first tune is Shöenberg by Marmion. Can't place the second tune. Techno and hard trance were such an important part of the early bouldering scene in Europe especially in Sheffield. So fortunate to have been able to go to massive raves with my climbing mates.

[@nicolasbordier1275]

may be ...art of trance's octopus? the man with no name remx.Platipus recs(definately one of the biggest label at the time)Anyway this is one f... of a tune!!!! pre-goa stuff

[@peterjohnson2245]

Correct, i got quite a few. (pausing the video to find the track names) so I could play them when climbing mates came to where i was DJing back the

[@fatneck76]

That soundtrack!!!!!

[@jasonsterner922]

So cool, thanks guys!!!!! love it!!!!

[@aidanscarffe5256]

Love this

[@fredericohsilva]

Such an influence in the growth and development of bouldering. along with Rampage (four years later) it got me into bouldering as full time activity.

[@grisodyne]

There must be so much more footage of Ben and Jerry bouldering in Font. Give us the real Christmas and show us a few extra minutes :)

[@stuartwilson9147]

Damn that kicked ass, very well done. The short haired dude knows what’s up when comparing The Real Thing to a 90s skate film and how the new breed might not understand, just different times! Wish Jerry was in it. Also, no pads and a film budget will make you try harder. Rip Kurt Albert.

[@paulmitchell5349]

Buster's addition to the Tor is a worthy stablemate to Evolution and Hubble.

[@pauldavies5541]

You did a few doughnuts, relax and enjoy!

[@muniorodilares6717]

La mejor película de escalada con escaladores increíbles, musicón y dos carracos para la eternidad. Un verdadero icono

[@sirlockoff]

top3 climbing movies!!

[@henryjb1572]

Sheffield Culture x

[@henryjb1572]

Raver gone climber - the real thing fits the bill x

[@hanneshuch8965]

Don't feel guilty for the donuts in Isatis, Ben! ✌️, Hannes

[@carlieclimbs]

Where is Jerry?

[@monoculturefilms5868]

Damn, we need to bring punk back into climbing films!!!

[@antoinehalik]

definitely!!! Take a look at H20 "what happened to the passion" clip. I love it!!!

[@Josh-wb7ii]

What do you mean punk? The whole film is backed by techno.

[@thedaveparry]

Knockout stuff. HORSES BEN!

[@ofizzy]

"like a 90s skate movie" great comparison!

[@parkerramthun]

Anyone notice how Sean Myles is like an older Shawn raboutou? Lol

[@antoinehalik]

Currently I'm reading Jerry's Moffatt "Revelations". F**k me I almost regret I've been born 15 years later 🤭😜

[@dddon513]

Ben has barely aged. Jerry.... Er...
