Western States 100 | The Window Seat 008

[@johnwitt586]

Every time I watch this I get teary-eyed! So emotional to see all of these people put so much effort in all their training, all the runners support camp and pace runners, spectators cheering, and also the people at the aid stations. Truly inspiring!

[@googleboughtmee]

Even when you're not making a western movie, you still make a great western movie If anyone hasn't seen them you can still watch those live streams in full on facebook, it was very exciting catching it live

[@owenf9793]

what a great way to spend 33.42 minutes - fabulous insight into an amazing race

[@martinstirling541]

Really inspirational running. I binge watch Billy's movies whilst I'm training on my bike in my garage. Love your work man.

[@snazzycracker2]

Great stuff as always Billy. You really managed to capture the true running family spirit that the fellow runners and competitors have as well.

[@chezfavi]

So nice to see the "backstage" of a massive run like this one, thanks for doing this Billy!

[@terrifantetti5923]

Loved the video and ALL of your films/videos. You do a great job! They are such an inspiration. I'm new to running and at almost 50 I know I will never make it to this level but I can live the excitement through your videos/films. Thank you!

[@KellyMSharp]

Magda's finish brought tears to my eyes. What a bunch of amazing athletes!

[@erickienle]

I always say it man, phenomenal job. totaly dropped a tear watching Magda round the track. I can't wait for the day it's my turn to run that race

[@BillyYang]

Eric Kienle hope it happens for you Eric. It's a very special race

[@inkjob12]

Loved the video Billy...as usual. I was so happy to see my home town runner and one of my running heroes ...Magda...have a great comeback WS 100. Hoping someday my wish of running with her, (short run) on our local trails will come true. Again...great job on the video...

[@BillyYang]

`Randy Cuffaro mine too.

[@brianfrolo245]

Loved watching this. So raw, immediate, and essential. No frills. Felt like I was there. Someday maybe.

[@runhard-alwaysfinish1108]

Even when you take a year off, you make a film worth watching. Your FB live on race day was cool, I felt like I was there and could feel the excitement. RunHard Billy -Reist

[@ilaallen190]

Billy, I just found your films a while back and now I am hooked. You do a fantastic job, music, scenery, commentary, and you're a great runner as well. Magda was great and she ran her race! Keep the videos coming!! #RunLove

[@nikkibrooks3802]

Absolutely LOVED this behind the scenes.

[@mikederas8530]

So good. As if we could love Magda any more than we already do. :)

[@scottfilmer1355]

Loved the video also and some great filming of the WS 100. I follow all your videos and you do a fantastic job keep them coming Billy. Coming from the UK England hoping to run it one day.

[@ColinChapell]

What is this salty liquid coming out of my eyes? Somehow you always make me cry, Billy. Great job!

[@rachelcieslewicz2327]

Beautiful video. You give very wonderful and personal tastes of what these races are like. Thank you for your dedication.

[@andidunn9867]

Hey Billy, another beautiful video. Has left me moved and inspired. Thank you.

[@paulhart1056]

This was superb. The blow by blow account of who was leading was fascinating.

[@slowjamcdub]

Love that more people are starting to film ultras!!

[@jebodebinsky2582]

Amazong stuff again Billy. Always looking forward to watch your video. Every time I watch it I just want to go out and run. Thank you for sharing.

[@mobystwin]

Great vid Billy. Thanks so much for doing what you do. Wonderful to get that type of inspirational filming in this little niche sport.

[@RealSoundNow]

Wow, this was amazing. For the fans this really was the window seat. So much appreciated. Well done sir.

[@williamread8186]

Great synopsis of Western States. Great to see you at Chilao during the AC100. I have signed up to do AC100 next year. It will be my second ultra. I have to run a 50 mile race between now and August. That will be my first ultra. I will be 61 years old but not acting like it. Oh yeah, Walmsley is going to run it. This is going to be epic.

[@arikc5201]

Thanks for the video Billy! Your work is an invaluable gift for this sport.

[@johnfowlertrailrunning]

Excellent film Billy, really captures the emotional rollercoaster associated with the event. Awesome! 😀

[@cornevanzyl5252]

Hey Billy thank you so much for he amazing video!!! You inspire man and you have no idea what a amazing impact you have on so many runners around the world that enjoys your videos. Powerful stuff. Thx man

[@triplc-yi6sv]

For someone who was "not working", you certainly got some good footage. Thanks for continuing to put out great content!

[@jamestaylor574]

Great film Billy. I liked the FB footage. It made the experience of watching it feel quite raw. You were hopping from point to point and sometimes its nice to watch something that is not too polished. It helps reflect that you are so mobile. Great work 🖒

[@williamdowling7718]

Something is wrong with the end of all your videos, Billy... every time I watch your videos, right near the end, it feels like I have something stuck in my eye or someone is cutting onions nearby.. You do such an amazing job of conveying the emotion of these races. Fantastic job. Keep it up.

[@simonejones7683]

Look forward to all of your videos Billy. This video was incredible, thank you!

[@Welther47]

4:35 Im hearing the LotR soundtrack here - Gimli, legolas and aragon running to Rohan.

[@ExerciseTech]

Totally Inspiring Billy. Thank you. Great visuals and always love seeing you on local socal trails. Keep creating!

[@dougaduncan]

My favorite Western States video to date. Nice job Billy!

[@COYSMike]

Another great film Billy

[@ChrisDuke66]

Excellent video - lots of work and really interesting. Now i want to get into the lottery!

[@tanyagriggs1610]

Awesome, loved every second Billy. So inspiring. Go Magda!!!!!

[@AidantheHighlander]

Really enjoyed this one Billy. Thanks!

[@golfpunk0r]

Another great video, really appreciated the relaxed stance you were able to take, must have felt good :D I like the raw footage too.. amazing the crowds that form that runners have to deal with as well at that big aid station, didn't realise the extent of that!

[@capttast]

I am not a runner, but I have ran. :). You do great work and you inspire me. These athletes are amazing.

[@amandadruce6650]

This is awesome Billy. Pumped for 2018!

[@skulz66]

Great video Billy. Love your work!

[@jimwaxer8166]

Entertaining video. Fun to watch. Great editing to keep it moving at a good pace. No dull moments. One thing I felt uncomfortable about and probably not as big a deal as it seemed but why not put the camera on the dashboard while driving? It freaks me out when Yang keeps looking over at the camera and not at the road. And, no, I am not the legendary ultrarunner Jim King.

[@stjamesnolan]

The background music in your videos is really well chosen.

[@OmarAbdulMalikDHEdMPASPACPAPro]

MAN, this is SO BEAUTIFUL!😃You have such a great eye for detail and capturing the spirit of this event. I would love to run this some day, Lord willing. I've only done 30 miles in one day.

[@davebegbie362]

Great video Billy.

[@Baby75xx]

Great film, you looked so tired at the end well done to you as well

[@alfonsolopez9727]

Great film! Gracias Billy👏👏

[@solukhumbu911]

says a white dude . just say "great job thanks billy !" dont need to hide ur whiteness

[@widge234]

Fun to watch. Thanks.

[@ilovefitsugartv]

Subscribed! Im lovin every video you posted. Very inspiring! :)

[@zackj_com]

Gesh... how many steady cam operators were there out there?! crazy.

[@Esperancacerta]

Omg i cried so beautiful, as a runner this is a dream for me!

[@kikiy2972]

Great video! Love the footages!

[@Wavygravvy]

Avery Collins is proving to be more than just a weed smoking story line. So pumped to see him perform at such an elite level. Equally excited about the up and comers in the sport, a lot of great performances ahead.

[@curatedstudios1130]

Thank you. 🙏🏼

[@trailrunninghd8742]

Great video. Once again! Keep on doing this incredible work! Also liked a lot the music track that is played during Cat's and Magda's finish. Can you tell me what music you used there?

[@kcc9775]

Thanks Billy.

[@bjcarte7]

Very well done on the video my good brother. Its too bad Jim didnt run much slower earlier on. Its not about getting the course record. Its about pacing yourself according to the conditons, in this case a lot of snow, and much more important then that, the extreme heat. Have to take it slow early and often, when your facing a lot of extreme heat, to finish and win a race of this nature. That being said, Jim is a great racer, and will hopefully come back to get it done next year.

[@BillyYang]

Agree. It will make it that much sweeter once he puts it all together though.

[@jeppelund4239]

But on the other hand, seeing Jim trying to do something spectacular in stead of just trying to win by running conservatively, is just so much more admirable in my opinion and also adds something extra to the race.

[@slapfan1]

Great Vid. Thank you.

[@leandroalves439]

Fantastic

[@fabiolalove9072]

awesome!!!

[@ggardner5784]

Hoping Mocko can hang on next year.

[@mtnrunner2]

That was great, thanks, all!

[@tommyrunsfar]

Will we see anything from you this year at WS100 Billy?

[@ghpatriot]

Amazing "non" movie again!

[@Teabonesteak]

Good Stuffs!

[@Noah-eq3rn]

9:00 Are those horse corrals?!? They thought of everything

[@tommyrunsfar]

Does anybody know what the song is at 3:00?? Much appreiciated.

[@stevejm9942]

Italo 84 (Adam Oland Remix) by Green Aqua.

[@tommyrunsfar]

@@stevejm9942 im afraid that's not it my friend. Thanks anyways

[@arcitejack]

Intense!

[@majortakleef8445]

Billy, too bad you had to leave early and missed Karen's nail biting finish! 1st Gunhild, now Karen - these ladies are special!

[@BillyYang]

Major Takleef super bummed. But had to get back to LA...

[@midgicegg874]

Awesome

[@IronmanS4]

Billy you nailed this one ! I felt like I was there , which ultimately is the point of a film,.Best lines #IReallyDon'tLikeAsians #TheNooch/Mocko/Mocko-TheNooch.#YiOu-Cat-Cat-YiOu. Love it.

[@BillDowis]

17:50 Billy actually records in portrait mode? Ouch.

[@BillyYang]

it was for FB live. not my proudest moment.

[@bestwl]

0:57 Wonder what that hazard is "reported ahead"? Surprised that nobody asked about this

[@afrodeity1576]

yiou wang is so tough and soo cute!!!

[@Teabonesteak]

27:35 just did something for me. It was an invitation.

[@rogersyversen3633]

is it possible to do these runs without all the commotion, preferably without being filmed or ending up on social media? I mean, I want the official time and all, but I dont want to do it for some other reason than myself.

[@arjanpetersen]

Roger Syversen well... at least start by shutting down twitter, Facebook and KZbin. So you won’t see yourself. Anything else I don’t understand this weird comment. What are trying to say...

[@ignacioinder]

Me and my friends are cool. 15 hours men....15.

[@goggleboy2464]

This has got to be great for your body.

[@kevindecoteau3186]

Ice in the hat always gives me a headache.

[@SkyMcKinley]

Please don’t film and drive. Just drive. You can film when you’re not driving. Thanks!

[@andyharvey8373]

Fair play to them, but they have so much help from crew etc. I would respect them so much more if they were more self-sufficient.

[@deamon2107]

Love your videos but can't stand that music men.Sorry but when the bit starts I just mute.It's so loud and doesn't fit with the mountains and the atmosphere on top of them.so magical and the bit just kill the feeling. I will continue of course watching films and videos but with caution always.

[@BillyYang]

thanks for the feedback!

[@alexyang1841]

Did Tim say he didn't like Asians? Dude....

[@BillyYang]

Alex Yang he was kidding. He’s a good friend, saw me coming out of the corner of his eye and made that joke. It’s all love!

[@richardlim3202]

Really sad to hear that ☹️ around 17:22.... Normally a person will not say that if u know are being filmed. I am a fan of Tim but not anymore.

[@PmbTrailRunner]

No interest in the male winner! Wow. Disappointing video.

[@solukhumbu911]

billy is the only asian there ....awkward?

[@BillyYang]

solukhumbu911 not even a little bit. 👍🏻

[@zacharybennett7593]

The amount of FB live was a real slide back... worst vid yet by quality by Billy

[@BillyYang]

Zachary Bennett sometimes you just have to use what you have to push the narrative forward. Thanks for watching anyway

[@howlandm]

Great movie. I see no problems with the quality or means by which the content was obtained. Thanks for taking the time to make the movie Billy.

[@cambenouali]

I love the raw quality, it feels like are right in it with them, thank you Billy😊
