  • Bringing back the series with a bang! Join me and my friends Evan Hone and Zach Miller as we venture up north to "the last frontier" in Anchorage/Seward/Eagle River, Alaska to race in the Crow Pass Crossing. A brutally technical 22-mile point-to-point race held every July that runs from Girdwood to the Nature Center in Eagle River.
    After the race, we hit the road to the site of Mount Marathon in Seward, Alaska.

    What an amazing adventure! The terrain reminds me a lot of Wales, but without the worry or bears.
    Dammit I love Zach Miller, what a legend he is. If you guys ever want to come explore Wales, hit me up.

      Nice that you were the impetus for Zach to run this race. ....... I always wondered about bathroom routines of elite runners.. Thanks for leaving that stuff in. The more TMI the better.

    I love to see our great Alaska trails on film for all to see. I was also under-trained for the crow pass crossing but proudly finished. Thanks for bringing the big guns but I’m glad an Alaskan won. 🙂

    Hey brother! Just finished first ever 50 kilometres race. I must say, big thank you for the best race advice you’ve given me “ don’t be an idiot in the first half of the race and don’t be a wimp in the next half”. Really awesome advice & helped me at crucial stages. Thank you so much Billy. And wonderful videos by the way.

    Oh man, great video, and excellent job capturing what it's really like in that part of Alaska. I grew up there, and ran Mt. Marathon as a "junior" back in '78 (way before there was ever a lottery). The rainy, cold summers. The broken car windshields. The dirt roads. The homes littered across the countryside. The fireweeds. Sunlit skies at night. And the fear of "real" bears. Yep.......you nailed it. That's Alaska!

    Wish they gave Scott Patterson more credit, the guy may be local and a skier, but he's legit.

    • @BillyYang
      @BillyYang  6 років тому +1

      seoul588 who is “they”? I edited the piece so you can always blame me but there’s no denying Scott’s talent and resume. Not to mention he is a really nice and genuine guy. At the end of the day, this was just a documentation of 3 dudes having fun in Alaska :)

    • @JAHinHK
      @JAHinHK 6 років тому

      Billy Yang Films I meant at the ten minute mark race introductions. They made a big deal of the out-of-towner folks. Just seemed to bypass Scott. Maybe because he's a known entity to those in attendance.

    • @deanpereza
      @deanpereza 6 років тому

      The out-of-towner folks race internationally and win races whereas Scott is pretty low key with his races. The point of the organizer of making a big deal with them so that it will attract more runners around the world. Scott is very talented but he needs to get out/race more outside Alaska.
