A NEW SEASON - CHASING DREAMS EP. 01 

Dont get how GTWS are ”not only ok with”, but emphasize the need for a big team to win you races. What!? Get all the advantages you want before/after the race from your team, but on race day there should have an equal playing field along the course. Should make it abundantly clear if on course assistant is something you should plan and arrange for. Really appriciate the videos though. Well made and exciting. Many thanks! Very appriciated 💐

Great video, so cool to watch well made content about trail running. Yet it was really disappointing to learn that the race/series rules are not fair for each athlete. Sad that GTWS would give Salomon and other big teams fuelling advantages.

Wow those are some unfair rules. Apparent from the fact that not everybody reads 28 rules just the fact that some have a big team helping them and some are racing on their own makes it totally unbalanced...

It is quite stupid to say " self supported " then allow water and food to be handed out.

2:38 that jump is just pure epicness.

I needed this! Haven't been running for the past year and didn't think of doing so next year as well. Now I'll just need to rewatch this vid after the holiday season is over to kickstart my running for 2022!!!

These trail runners r awesome. Kilian being my all time favorite.

not a fair set up at alllll, wow, big money teams was definitly given advantage

Interesting series. It is a bit concerning to see someone like Remi Bonnet being extremely underweight. I suppose it is linked to his background as a skimo athlete, but I certainly hope he's getting the support he needs. It's also very unfortunate that people from certain teams get advantages that others do not have. A sport can't take itself serious when it allows to let this happen.

Ok, now I know what *self-sufficient race* really means^^ Still incredible (super-human) performances though.

This "last minute rule change" reeks of the back dated TUE's in the cycling world.

Incredible!!! Can't wait to watch the other episodes in this series/season. So motivating!

Beautiful job! I'm going to binge watch all episodes for sure!!

I call bullocks on the self support.

Good video although a bit obvious that it's an ad for Salomon...

Let's go!!!!! Super pumped for the season

Awesome!! Its here, finally. Good job GTS.

Best Christmas gift ever, thanks so much

super passion running ! love all

Love it! cant wait to get this lower back fixed and crush the trails again!

Loved it! Waiting for the next episode!

Bravo!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Good job Golden Trail Series 🔝❤️

Superb first episode!

Cool Film !

"Who is the best trail runner on earth" or who is the best trail runner at sub marathon distances?

Einfach nur gut.

Wooow well done Golden Trail Series! Awesome video 😍

A great first episode - Congratulations!

La Sportiva athletes are sooo good in these races! They're extremely talented, their attitude and desire to win is really motivating.

I like France because they get Champaign after finishing instead of gross beer. 🤓 That's how you finish a race.

🔥

So let me get this right - self-supported doesn't actually mean self-supported at all, the rules seem to vary on the day, and independent athletes are being put at major disadvantage and squeezed out, in favour of a few big sponsored teams? Because that doesn't exactly come across as all that "sporting" for a "sport" that claims it wants the world to take it seriously yet shows no interest in addressing such troubling inconsistencies - and I'm outta here...

Loved it 😍

Saying "Self Supported" when you mean you mean "No Official Aid Stations" is more than a little misleading. I get that there are nuances of language, but I feel that operating in a multi-nation space clarity of statement in a language is a fairly basic requirement. Trying to wave it off with a "it's on page 28 of the rules" is a little too hand-wavy. Especially when you follow up that statement with talking about how having a big team is key to performance and holding up a large corporate sponsored team as an example. Way to marginalize the athlete.

13:00!!! did that factor into the results? Anyone who didn't comply is freakin pure evil garbage. Disgusting! If I was competing and saw people taking bottles I would have completely lost my cool!

Salomon as a whole is overpriced and low quality, it's unfortunate they have such a huge sponsor share in the sport. I don't think I've ever hated a shoe quicker.

I have a question - these guys are sponsored by Salomon but they have a Red Bulls hat. So can they have multiple sponsors? I am unclear how that works.

Olla de Nuria not Fair at all, sad to see what is Salomon doing 😅

Hola, porque no colocan subtítulos en español en los videos, el trail es de todo el mundo, 🙏

Great job Solomon! errrr EURO TRASH CHEATERS! Your videos of slamming downs and going off trail make you look like such great stewards of the outdoors. Also classy speculation about Drake's contract.

Burying the clause that says teams can provide support to their runners in a "self-sufficient" race, all the way back 28 pages in the rulebook, is not cool.

What is the relationship between Golden Trail Series and UTMB World Series? Are you competitors? Complementary to each other?

Is it agenda for a new 2022 trail running season?

"Running fast is all that matters now." Sorry, but this simplification caters to the media and dumbing down of a complex sport. Just consider tactics and strategy. Then there is experience -- how many athletes win all their first races in a season? How many win the same race year after year? How about luck and weather? Running fast is never enough. Watching all these athletes fall down in this video is yet another media sound bite akin to professional cycling when the media focuses on only the crashes shown over and over. I despise media gloss on any sport. The GTWS team is NOT Rio Madrid as trumpeted at the beginning of this vid. I'm going to go watch the Barkeley videos again because those runners are real people, suffering ugly and triumph without the media gloss.

O stopped watching when the dude said money doesn't win you races then goes on to talk about how the Solomon team has masseurs and staff for everything lmao. This is ultra commercialization of trail running and it's shit.

this make me feel so sorry!

Dann bis morgen 😏😏

What is the song from 3:08-3:28?

Gregory Vollet, what a bad person! Start by paying all your athletes fairly, all of them!!! Before talking big words… I had to deal with the guy a few times, not the nicest and fairest person…

Salut ✌️quelqu'un a le titre de la musique de 3min08 à 3min28 ? Merci par avance ! Sinon très cool la vidéo 👌😍

More BART

In Spanish please!!!!!

Tourists ruined Pikes Peak. I kinda wish it wasn't involved.
