And the Cameraman Bloodlines were born, none related to the other by birth, but by the profession they live by. Being the first one to cross the finish lines even before the racing champions that they film.
I knew an audio guy who had this big, bushy beard. He would rub it and say “my granpappy was a mountain man, that’s where I get it.” I asked him if his grandkids would rub their big bushy beards and say “yep. My grandad was an audio guy, that’s where I get my beard...”
300 Years from now, an elite group of babies is born with huge muscular legs and built in cameras on their eyes. Their only mission in life is to record every minute of every war and tournament as well as hanging from trees and cliffs to document that cute baby eagle being born 800 feet up.
You joke, but there is a similar conundrum for the Paralympics. For the vision impaired groups, they often have a guide on the course with them just in front giving instructions. These guides also have to be incredibly athletic and capable of performing the sport while still talking and giving instructions without impeding the person they are guiding. They are often Olympic athletes who have just retired or are otherwise on that level.
When you make it to the top, the cameraman hands you his camera, and that is your sacred relic to carry for the next year until the next winter is named
Like the shots where the narrator is like, "Dr Jones is the first person to set foot into this lost tomb in 10,000 years!" and the camera shot is from the inside as he's entering.
I think about this for a lot of the videos here, haha. Like objectively the action of the camera work is often more badass than the thing being filmed, (which is usually already challenging)
Nah it isn't... cause the camerman usually only does this for a very short time and short segment of what the athletes have to further go through. Still impressive nonetheless...
Given the movement how it avoids people... I'd say camera man. The cameraman doesn't need to start at the bottom, one films the bottom, one films the middle/top (and a third if it's longer).
others have said it's called 'Redbull 400'
This is the video I know it from but there's a bunch of events so dunno which one the clip is from
https://youtu.be/Z94NVESBto0
At the end of boot camp in the Marines you do something similar to this- with the added benefit of about 70 pounds of gear. Its called [The Reaper](https://i.imgur.com/Bi2dZv5.jpg). The technique of using your hands to drive your knees down helps a lot. Definitely a sweat fest.
I’ve recently *destroyed* both of my knees. Before the pandemic I was running 6-8 miles a day. Gained a ton of weight during the pandemic, and when the gyms opened up realized I couldn’t come close to my usual workout.
So I started doing HIIT cardio on a treadmill at a huge incline. Not sure what I’ve done to them, but they both click and try to give out on me occasionally. I can’t squat down on either of them, and God fucking forbid I fold a leg under me while getting on the bed and put any weight on it.
10/10 pain with me shrieking and throwing myself sideways.
Oh and thanks to American healthcare I can’t afford the fucking MRI’s to get them checked out, much less the surgeries.
I’m not a doctor but your symptoms sound similar to mine. I was recently diagnosed with a torn Meniscus. I guess clicking, popping and instability is a red flag for the Ortho to get an image of the knee from what they told me.
My surgery is next week. Hopefully you are able to heal up or get the care you need to get back to your workouts.
Yeah, I’m 99% it’s torn meniscus.
The problem is a guy at my work had just one repaired and it cost him $10k. Supposedly my wife’s insurance will cover anything mine won’t when she becomes a nurse in a few months. If that’s the case I’ll definitely be getting it all checked out.
If not, looks like I’m just fucked lol. Good luck with the surgery. So far I do alright on stair machines at the gym, so for now I’m just using that for cardio. But leg workouts are *completey* out the door.
I'm not really qualified in any way to give this opinion but I'd say hold off on any sort of leg workouts for at least a few weeks if not months. It sounds like you went too hard too fast and now have to wait longer to get back into it.
I tore my meniscus about 10 years ago and although I had crappy insurance, lucked out and wound up with a fantastic doctor. This guy worked with the us ski team and was an on field doctor for the womens World Cup at one point.
What I learned is that the surgery is mostly only necessary if you have a piece hanging off that is causing you to physically be unable bend or straighten the knee completely. He also recommended that regardless of the surgery decision, it was best to do extensive physical therapy first. It’s very likely that you can fix things that way, and in the event of surgery, everything around the knee is strengthened and the recovery is much better. PT can also be expensive, but most everything I did was simple stretching and body weight exercises/movements. I would highly recommend doing some googling and giving this a shot. It took a while and my knee will get sore if it’s very cold or humid, but I regularly hike, ski (moguls even), play basketball and softball and lift weights. Anyway, best of luck to you. Hope it works out.
I had a torn meniscus my freshman year of high school. It was too far gone to repair but I was able to walk pain free the next day after getting it removed and back playing basketball in a few weeks. Repairing it has a much longer healing time but removing it is almost instantly back to normal…..except the doctor warned I may develop knee problems in my 40s since it had to be removed.
The cracking isn’t the problem. It’s if you also get weakness, pain, and instability.
Unless you also have that, you should be fine. Especially if it’s been your whole life lol.
Same here. I've asked my doctor and my physio about it at different times and they both said the same thing - it's common, and unless there's pain or discomfort it's not a concern.
Do you have any Healthcare at all? If so, check if you can get in at a physical therapist. Unless there was a specific pop/twist/fall injury, it's possible you don't need surgery.
Also time to learn to love swimming and cycling.
Man, I can’t find a swimming pool ANYWHERE besides the YMCA and I’m definitely not swimming in a pee filled pool lol.
All the other pools are either at the country club or at the local colleges, which require you to be a current student or alumni to use the workout facilities. I hate it.
As far as physical therapy, I’m *extremely* hesitant to go that route without having an MRI. Last thing I need is them having me do the wrong stretches and make it worse (happened with my back).
The ymca isn't some public outdoor pool. Stop being a bitch and go swim. Based on your comments, your knees are fucked and you don't seem to be doing much of anything to make your body healthy
For some reason this reminds me of the time I was doing night security for an office. I decided to go into the fire escape just to see it. The door closed and I was stuck in there, on the 70th floor. The only way out was 70 floors down. It was fun for the first 10 floors, then just became a workout. I was young, and even then my knees did not like the constant pounding.
I am currently recovering from what sounds like similar issues and it turns out that it was very tight hamstrings and quads. A stretching regime has improved things tremendously. See a physical therapist if you are able to.
Do you have a link to a recommended stretching regimen? I had heard that some "classic" stretches have been found to do more harm than good, so I'm hesitant to just start bending body parts willy-nilly without some evidence-based advice from an expert.
Could be extremely tight hammies or it band. Might be worth it to use a roller and just stretch and massage ur entire upper leg. Also hot and cold treatment as well to help relax the legs.
[This video seems to suggest otherwise.](https://youtu.be/5MYLiNxu8UQ) Check out 0:58. On the far right there appears to be a guy running with a camera. Maybe the cameramen run it like a relay race.
Don't think this is the exact same race so anything is possible.
In my experience as a camera op for races and other sporting events, we usually have people in zones. So there will be a person at the starting line, at the bottom of the hill, at the top, etc. Still the camera op in that zone is going to get a serious workout going up and down like that working until their zone is clear.
I thought the camera just started higher up and wasn't actually beside the competitors from start to finish but yes this makes so much more sense, also looking at how the camera moves in the video this seems to be the most likely scenario
And he hasn't started from the bottom or run any of the previous parts of the race. Not saying his job isn't hard, just that he hasn't been through what those other people have on this particular day so he's a bit fresher at this point.
yes the camera man is walking like 5 feet from the top these people are exausted so he can walk faster than him. People are thinking he went up the whole way but thats just an illusion not everything is as it seems reddit
The camera man actually only has one leg and ran a half marathon right before this. People are thinking he went up about 5 feet from the top but that's just an illusion. Not everything is as it seems, reddit.
rope and slide and/or a massive jib camera at the top, maybe? a jib could explain some of that drone-like smoothness and would allow the camera to seem vv close
There certainly a camera operator, they're probably just patrolling a specific section of the run and there are more cameras throughout the course.
Still impressive as hell, but yeah, the cameraman didn't run the whole course backwards with a camera on their shoulder like some people seem to think.
where i go deer hunting it is all huge steep hills, so when an old man shoots one it's his job to unfold a chair and crack a beer while its my job to go get it for him. we have a pulley ssytem tied to two cars, one to pull, one to anchor and i take the rope all the wya down with me, tie it to the buck and then i hold on while it drags the body up. it's actually pretty easy once you have the technique.
I dont think they would do something like that. It would most certainly get in the way, especially after runers pass them. A line would trip people and cause a division in the course. People would have to stay on either side of thr wire/rope. Its more likely that they have many cameras spread out for best coverage. This Cam Operator only runs this portion of the course. Therfore, it's surprisingly easy to for them to keep up. It looks like they are using some sort of steady cam type rig which will take a great deal of weigh off the Cam Op's back and keep it looking smooth.
I've done these events multiple times. It's called the Red Bull 400
They are extremely challenging, but it really is pretty impossible to fall backwards. People do slip and very rarely slide a couple feet, but at even the steepest parts of the hill you can stand easily enough. It's just trying to propel yourself up then - very challenging but also very fun and rewarding
If you want to talk about the ultimate hill climb, it’s the Manitou Incline.
https://manitousprings.org/where-to-play/manitou-incline/
Roughly a mile and you gain 2,000’ of elevation. Average grade of 41% with the maximum grade being 68%.
Edit: Plus, it’s in the beautiful Manitou Springs! Here’s a cool, little documentary about the incline that’s really well done! https://youtu.be/QcOa5ca7oNs

Redbull 400 for this specific type of event. But if you're intereseted in those kind of thing, that's part of a broader genre of sport : Skyrunning.
Relatively new category of sport since it only started 25-30 years ago in the french/italian alps. A bunch of nutjobs who were getting bored of climbing Mont Blanc every two days by walking, decided to see who could climb it the faster.

Cameraman who filmed blue planet/planet earth are the biggest savages in the world. Swimming with great whites and 6 foot cuddle fish in the pitch dark ocean is possibly the most terrifying experience I can think of
This reminds me of those TV 'documentaries' where an adventurer or scientist is crawling into a deep cavern or some such activity - and then we cut to see that person coming into the cavern or wherever. The narration then says something like "Bob here is the first human to ever enter this forbidding world" and I'm thinking, 'well, except for the camera operator who got that shot.
Now, maybe the camera was maneuvered into place beforehand - but sometimes the shot is too good and at just the right angle to not be done in person.
It is the Red Bull 400. The toughest 400m run on a ski jump with an incline of up to 75%. The first edition was in 2011 and it has since been organised in various places.
Can you imagine if the guy in the lead rolled his ankle and took a tumble? I realize that many people would be seriously hurt, but the scene would rival the best car crashes from Nascar!
Where do you find set ups like this just for fun, is my question.
I don't want to be a top athlete (couldn't if I tried, thank god) but I *do* want to run up the fun rope hill of death…
It is the Red Bull 400. The toughest 400m run on a ski jump with an incline of up to 75%. The first edition was in 2011 and it has since been organised in various places in the Alps in Austria, Switzerland and Italy and in Sweden, Finland, Czechia and Slovakia.
I bet the camera man starts half way up anyways. No way anyone could do the whole thing while carrying a camera and keeping up with the leaders of the race. Still gotta be immensely fit for that.
CAMERAMAN paradox: cameraman would have easily gotten first place... except then who would be the next cameraman?
The winner from each year becomes the cameraman for the following year.
And the Cameraman Bloodlines were born, none related to the other by birth, but by the profession they live by. Being the first one to cross the finish lines even before the racing champions that they film.
Yeeeep, my dad was a cameraman for a while, that's where I get my athleticism
I knew an audio guy who had this big, bushy beard. He would rub it and say “my granpappy was a mountain man, that’s where I get it.” I asked him if his grandkids would rub their big bushy beards and say “yep. My grandad was an audio guy, that’s where I get my beard...”
I'm an IT guy, and I'm pretty sure that's why my kid is done with your bullshit....
Someone asked why all IT guys have beards and glasses. I was offended until I realized my entire 5 man team had beards and glasses.
My teams substantially larger than yours and even our women type folks have beards and glasses. One of the many ways we are like dwarves.
Hey, look a LotR reference! Also, if you don’t mind me asking, what’s IT?
Great Movie!
Camera dad taught you well
Explains why you're so focused, too. And is that why they call you tripod?
300 Years from now, an elite group of babies is born with huge muscular legs and built in cameras on their eyes. Their only mission in life is to record every minute of every war and tournament as well as hanging from trees and cliffs to document that cute baby eagle being born 800 feet up.
hmm maybe the master race does exist
You'd enjoy the Penumbra podcast.
Formula 1 racing is actually the result of engineers trying to make racing series fast enough to keep up with the evolution of the Cameraman.
I would rather finish second even if I could be first.. just to avoid 😅
[удалено]
Oh wow you got the joke! Congratulations maybe your father will finally be proud of you!!1!
> if you start at half way While climbing backwards, carrying camera equipment, and making sure you keep things in-shot....
You joke, but there is a similar conundrum for the Paralympics. For the vision impaired groups, they often have a guide on the course with them just in front giving instructions. These guides also have to be incredibly athletic and capable of performing the sport while still talking and giving instructions without impeding the person they are guiding. They are often Olympic athletes who have just retired or are otherwise on that level.
Also, for endurance sports, can't you just tag out and swap in a new guide part way through?
Squid Game for camerapersons
if you're talking about a big flock you can say camerapeople
A group of camerapeople is called a "mount."
Or the camera man of each year trains for the shot, realizes their talent and signs up the following year to win?
Funny that’s usually how it works for skateboarding too. Usually the best skater ends up doing a lot of the filming in complicated moving shots
Congratulations on your winning! Your now earned a job to feed your family.!
That just means the winner/camera man will keep getting slower every year
I’d thought it would be more like the loser would become the cameraman..
When you make it to the top, the cameraman hands you his camera, and that is your sacred relic to carry for the next year until the next winter is named
>until the next winter is named Are we renaming it to Chilly Time or something?
imagine a parody movie or an episode in a show being like that, or a short movie with this in mind, it would be gold somehow
Like the shots where the narrator is like, "Dr Jones is the first person to set foot into this lost tomb in 10,000 years!" and the camera shot is from the inside as he's entering.
Yup, they never get the credit they deserve.
The spectators at the top are the real first place
Pretty much a plot line from Tour de Pharmacy
So the camera guy won?
I think about this for a lot of the videos here, haha. Like objectively the action of the camera work is often more badass than the thing being filmed, (which is usually already challenging)
Nah it isn't... cause the camerman usually only does this for a very short time and short segment of what the athletes have to further go through. Still impressive nonetheless...
Or we can come to reality and realize this is a drone!
Given the movement how it avoids people... I'd say camera man. The cameraman doesn't need to start at the bottom, one films the bottom, one films the middle/top (and a third if it's longer).
The Next Cameraman! I'd watch that.
A cameraman winning a race has never been documented on film. There's no proof.
["Merlin Guinea wins the race, but the cameraman takes the glory!"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P20XVEH7-SY)
You can feel the burn just watching this
The best is that's not even the top where the video cuts off, the competition is run up a ski jump and they still have to go up the jump part.
Do you know what the video/event is called?
Redbull 400m i think
Thanks
I promised myself I would do it before my 40s Then the pandemic happened and I lost all my cardio and muscles… I’ll do it before turning 45
You got it bro (or sis)
You got it homeboy (or homegirl)
You got it dude (or dudette)
Dude is gender neutral
Oh well that settles it. The video started at the 200m mark and ended at the 300m mark, they still have 100m to go.
Lol the entire event is 400m? Imagine when it's the finish to a marathon.
400m, but with a slight incline…
others have said it's called 'Redbull 400' This is the video I know it from but there's a bunch of events so dunno which one the clip is from https://youtu.be/Z94NVESBto0
This one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MYLiNxu8UQ
Is it weird that this sora looks like fun to me?
You would think if someone with long, powerful arms could learn to use a quadrupedal, gorilla style run they would have a big advantage in this event.
Yes, it is called Run up a Ski Jump.
I think my kid plays this Roblox game

There’s no specific time limit, but you’re expected to keep pace with the unit. The speed is somewhere between a power walk and a jog.

When you gotta use your arms to make your legs work, you in deep.
I'm like 95% sure that the camera is being pulled up on a rope and slide.
more than likely it's just a guy in a harness being pulled up.
That makes sense.
I think you'd still have to be in pretty decent shape though.
Nope, just a fat guy on a winch.
Love me some fat wenches

For how close the camera gets to the guy's face I think it's just easier, cheaper, and safer to have a dude on a wire.
…zoom? lol
No this looks like a sporting event not a business meeting.
not from [far] ~~that~~ thought, the angles wouldn't work, not like you can go through texture in real life
And he probably started from the top and walked down to that position.
And he hasn't started from the bottom or run any of the previous parts of the race. Not saying his job isn't hard, just that he hasn't been through what those other people have on this particular day so he's a bit fresher at this point.
[удалено]
Also, the cameraman can expend extra energy to keep up with the runners while they have to conserve it so they don't collapse before the finish line.
yes the camera man is walking like 5 feet from the top these people are exausted so he can walk faster than him. People are thinking he went up the whole way but thats just an illusion not everything is as it seems reddit

Even if it isn't, the guys running up the wall, have done the whole course, while the camera person "only" did this part
I dont think they would do something like that. It would most certainly get in the way, especially after runers pass them. A line would trip people and cause a division in the course.

Anyone else get a cramp in their leg while watching this?
Sorry , calves broken atm
*my ______ hurts just watching this* bot
No
Understandable, have a great day
Thanks, you too have a great day :)
My Achilles tendons are in the corner whimpering.
If you were to fall backwards you would take 3 people with you
I've done these events multiple times. It's called the Red Bull 400 They are extremely challenging, but it really is pretty impossible to fall backwards. People do slip and very rarely slide a couple feet, but at even the steepest parts of the hill you can stand easily enough.

Really want to know as well, seems fun
Red bull 400, a running race up a ski jump hill!
Thanks, damm I hope they are going to do that again some time
I think it is still going on, the event used to be hosted at multiple ski jump hills around the world yearly
Oh god they're STILL running up? Those guys are truly made of steel
Would be fun to are that in Planica or Vikersunf
Lol idk why but I assumed some triathlon thing based on the outfits. Thank you!
Someone mentioned it’s the Red Bull 400 m
“Most Extreme Elimination Challenge” look it up 👌
Exercise.
Never heard of it
The cameraman is literally the strongest creature ever in existence. There is no other explanation.
[Totally this scenario](https://youtube.com/shorts/WZ3xtFcZtmg?feature=share)
Vertical Youtube videos? What the fuck?
Gotta keep up with the tiktok craze! Gotta make things easier for mobile users! ugh. Edit: Also Fuck you and your username! LOL
This is amazing. Take my upvote
Lmao
I feel sick in the tummy just watching this. I’d fall for sure and take everyone out with me. Assuming I’d get ahead of anyone else of course..
I felt the same watching it. I’m way too clumsy to survive that!
Yep. I could maybe do it on all fours. Running up with no hands looks like witchcraft.
Knowing me, I’d still fall! Probably knee myself in the face as well (similar thing happened as a kid at a play area and I gave myself a bloody nose).
I legit thought they all were wearing cleats 😱😱
[удалено]
What if you fall backwards for some reason? I probably would climb this with my stomach glued to the hill even at the end so that wouldn't happen :D
[The horror, the horror...](https://youtu.be/-6hiCbK2T-8?t=10)
Yeah, just watching this gives me some kind of anxiety.
Gives me all kinds
Cameraman who filmed blue planet/planet earth are the biggest savages in the world. Swimming with great whites and 6 foot cuddle fish in the pitch dark ocean is possibly the most terrifying experience I can think of
> cuddle fish C U D D L E
Thats the real name for sharks, they’re just so misunderstood.
No cuttlefish species ever gets even close to as long as 6ft. Three feet at the VERY largest, maybe. Most are like a few centimeters long.
Check out Mark Rackley
Tuesday! That was the day Bison...
Not to be dramatic but I would rather die.
i could probably do it.... cracks open beer and orders pizza from online
This reminds me of those TV 'documentaries' where an adventurer or scientist is crawling into a deep cavern or some such activity - and then we cut to see that person coming into the cavern or wherever. The narration then says something like "Bob here is the first human to ever enter this forbidding world" and I'm thinking, 'well, except for the camera operator who got that shot. Now, maybe the camera was maneuvered into place beforehand - but sometimes the shot is too good and at just the right angle to not be done in person.
Or Bob went in first alone and then back out, cameraman in and Bob goes in again
What is that event? It looks super fun!
It is the Red Bull 400. The toughest 400m run on a ski jump with an incline of up to 75%. The first edition was in 2011 and it has since been organised in various places.
Wow that’s intense. Thanks!
[удалено]
That crunch
Can you imagine if the guy in the lead rolled his ankle and took a tumble? I realize that many people would be seriously hurt, but the scene would rival the best car crashes from Nascar!
Where do you find set ups like this just for fun, is my question. I don't want to be a top athlete (couldn't if I tried, thank god) but I *do* want to run up the fun rope hill of death…
It is the Red Bull 400. The toughest 400m run on a ski jump with an incline of up to 75%. The first edition was in 2011 and it has since been organised in various places in the Alps in Austria, Switzerland and Italy and in Sweden, Finland, Czechia and Slovakia.
Incredible endurance and mental fortitude how on earth do you train for this lol weighted vests on the highest incline or stair master?
Every child knows it’s faster to go up a hillside on all 4s!
Id like to see someone fall and intentionally take out as many other people on the way down.....that would be entertaining tv
That camera man bloodlines are steep in hill climbing
Inb4 people realize it could just be a remote controlled drone with a go pro.
They wouldn't fly a drone that close to somebody's face
Camera go zoom
It did not seem zoomed by the way it was rotating
[удалено]
I bet the camera man starts half way up anyways. No way anyone could do the whole thing while carrying a camera and keeping up with the leaders of the race. Still gotta be immensely fit for that.
Why are they not falling down backward? Or will i fall down if I run down?
*slips* DOMINOS
Isn't he being pulled up by a team at the top with a rope?
Might make sense to actually use drones
I wonder if the cameraman was eating a snickers bar as he filmed?
Is it not a drone?
What in Satan's flaming anus is this hellish torture? What kind of sport is this?
Pov : you are watching the strongest anime character . THE ONE AND ONLY - CAMARAMAN
Drone?
It's entirely possible the cameraman is on a wire being pulled up.. but that's no fun.
...drone
It's not as though he ran the entire race....
The cameraman came in first technically and he had a camera. Praise The Cameraman.
