whatup guys! recently i had a chance to go down to brazil to shoot a craaazy marathon contest down there, shit was too damn ill and i had a blast. here are the videos that i cut up afterwards. let me know what you all think! they are were cut to be their own stand alone pieces but also made to fit nicely in a row together for when shown at trade shots (SIA, OR, etc)

***BONUS*** !!!the guy who hired me (tim kemple, ballin photoG) had me cut this last piece together about the backpacks we used. it was mostly a behind the scenes on the brazil trip with some other shoots he did over the last few months where he used the bag. jahjah!!Tim Kemple: Fstop Satori, Lotus, and Mala in Action from Tim Kemple on Vimeo.

see you all later!
 
how long do they run/how many people compete?
that running thru sand then immediately into a lake/river looked so badass but would suck the rest of the day
 
it was a 220 km race stretched over 6 days. the runners had to carry everything on them and got checked daily to see if theyre not cheating or anything. some legs would be as short as 18k and others would be a 70k stretch overnight...over a 1/3 of the people who entered dropped out within the first 4 days
