I love how there are probably football players out there who are thinking they can run 4.2...YOU CAN'T! Those times are electric and you are running hand times, even at the nfl combine...just goes to show how amazing track athletes are; they are on a completely different planet when it comes to speed and jumping!
A track and the spikes are made to simulate how you'd run under situations of pressure, for you to even suggest that it's easier to run on turf makes your point and statement irrelevant. Only shitty tracks would turf be better if you're comparing it to your high school/middle school, whatever you're in.
HAHA! Still remember this... A few factors to consider for those watching....Weather was actually not as warm as it looked...which played into my times I'm sure as I was still recovering from a broken leg LOL... I also want to note that I did indeed run 10.04 into a negative 0.1 headwind in the 100m in 2010, however the IAAF (now under World Athletics) didn't approve the time for some strange reason..... We have the video to prove that as well. They then corrected it to 10.10 then another time.... anyways... who cares right? lol... I want to note that I came there in flats. NO SPIKES. I had to borrow Nathan's JUMP SPIKES to run in which were a size and a half bigger than my running spikes.... All that taken into consideration, and the fact I hadn't ran a 40 in YEARS, and this with NO SPEED WORK (we don't start speedwork in November in my coaches program LOL).... This was fun, fast, and creative to experience what a Bobsled/Skeleton combine feels like. PS--- Let's set it up again! I'm Ready BRO!!!! #FaithFocusFinish
I have the laser timer also and the way they ran would give you about .2-.3 since they already had momentum going when 1st contact with laser. The 1st beam should have been placed on the ground and set to inbeam mode so when they moved there hand the timer would start. Running like that neither would have broken 4.5.
Jeffrey Rose thanks for clearing that up I felt like there's no way these guys are that fast. If manteo was that fast he'd be a serious contender in the shorter races 100/200. I knew something wasn't right
footba11fan41ife by the way if the NFL timed with an electronic timer that started when the hand came up or foot pressure into the blocks nobody would run faster than a 4.4 and maybe only one or two guys could even do that. if they had to react to a gun it would be even slower the record would be 4.5 or 4.6. if you ever want to see amazing 40-yard speeds watch indoor 60-meter track those guys are the quickest in the world.
John Ross 4.22 at the NFL combine is an actual 4.55s when using high speed camera to catch the actual time of first movement. Bolt's electronic 100m WR 40yd split time without reacttion time was around 4.18s, but using the same NFL protocols Ross had, would have been recorded as 3.85s...
It's factually proven that the standing start is faster, not so much individualized. They even tell us that at the Bobsled/Skeleton combine. The reason being is that with the standing start, you have one free meter of momentum before the timing eye starts. Manteo didn't do that. He was right up on it. If he had a meter run up like you, he would have gone even faster. The reason you ran a 4.2 is because you had the one meter to build up some speed before the eye goes off. You and I are very similar speeds from what I can tell, but I consider myself a high 4.4 40 yard dash guy at best. So for you to say you're a 4.2 or even high 4.1 guy is a huge stretch. That would mean Chris Fogt could say he's a 3.9 40 yard dash guy, which he definitely is not. Run it the traditional way where you're right up on the line instead of back a meter, and see what you run. What was your 30 meter split and flying 30 by the way? And skeleton doesn't do 60 meter test, they only do 45 I thought? I'm not trying to be negative or rip on you bro, it's just people always throw around way faster 40 yard dash times then what they actually can run. I'm sure you're a great athlete regardless..
Actually I was curious about that too, so I did run one from the 3 point start, like Manteo, and I did a 4.39. Here's the video: ua-cam.com/video/VgjUnAYUqdA/v-deo.html That's 0.07 to 0.10 slower than my standing. I tested on another day, and I was 0.06 faster standing. I go a bit more into the variables involved in timing these in the article where this video was originally posted, if you care to read: usathletictrust.org/athlete-advocacy/usat-publications/40-yard-dash-race-manteo-mitchell-vs-nathan-ikon-crumpton/ If you want to test it yourself - standing vs 3 point - please do. I'd be interested in seeing what the differences are from person to person.
Ikon0307 I just watched it... The only tip I'd give you is that in a real 40 yard dash, they start on your first movement, not your first step. That's a huge difference. You rocked back and then into the start which they'd never allow, because that gives you a ton more momentum, where as Manteo didn't do that at all. I'd still say you're a high 4.4 guy, which is legit either way. And I'm glad you posted this, because this shows me how legit Manteo's speed is. Wow I had no idea he was that fast. Great article and video by the way. And did you see his 300 time from this weekend? 32.73, incredible... Anyways, good luck this season bro!

Thanks T-Pace. The rock vs no-rock in a 3-point start had a negligible difference when I tested it. (No-rock was 0.01 faster, which is too small to be significant. Any number of variables could have affected that.) The bigger difference if you're comparing it to NFL times is the running surface: field turf is likely a decent bit slower than tartan (what we tested on), and tartan marginally slower than a new mondo surface. And yeah, Manteo is really quick, and over a huge range of distances too.
+Thomas Wilson Pace I don't quite understand how you're surprised he was so fast when he just said that he ran a 10.04 in the 100m, and runs fast times in the 200 and 400. Those are almost as fast as you can get
+DANG JOS Because of your exact comment you left below. He ran 4.2 LASER. That is impressive no matter how fast a time you've put out before. That and the fact that most 400 meter guys are more top end fast then they are from the start. Also, Manteo Mitchell's best legal time isn't 10.04, it's 10.2 something if you look it up. There is a difference between the two times, but don't get me wrong, still very fast regardless.
Thomas Wilson Pace Oh so that wasn't an official time. I see. So I guess you mean you didn't know he was so quick. I guess that makes sense. Honestly I've read people say that Olympic runners can't accelerate fast like NFL players, but I honestly disagree. If you're running a forty yard dash, you are trying to get to your top speed as fast as possible. However, that is not a good strategy in the 100 or 200. In those sprints, you still want to explode, but you don't give it 100% at the beginning as you would in the 40. You want your speed to spread out longer so their acceleration is bound to be slower in the 100 than in the 40.
+DANG JOS Yes I agree with you in that 100 and 200 guys are faster then football players. There is no way those guys could keep up with the true Olympic sprinters. And as far as the 100 and 200 go, coming out 100% is usually ideal, especially the 100, where as the 200 you would still want to come out 100%, but maybe "float" or try and save some energy after on the second part of the curve.
The skeletons guys 40 is not 4.29, you don't take a step into a 40, it sets your first stride to be much longer than it normally would be and it gives additional momentum, he could probably run 4.4 based on the video which would still be good for the NFL
Thank you guys. I feel really fast now. I am in the best shape of my life. Completely ripped. Big muscular vascular legs. and I run 30m in 4.2s. I think my 40m is gonna be more than 5s most likely. Is it training, genetics, or what is that makes you much faster than me?
Crash Bash training more than you in that particular area. contrary to popular belief we don't really know how the human body works. We have basic concepts but why can someone with no muscle scrawny to the bone run faster than a muscular one. Why can't muscular guys that workout at the gym only do a couple pullups but someone who trained doing pullups do thousands? where does strength to pick up cars and become superhuman come from when extreme circumstances happen? I believe its how you train and you can have practical efficient muscle or flashy muscle that is a piece of shit. Not to say you didn't work hard for those muscle gains but did you do them with practical exercises like running(legs) climbing(back) ect. jumping is also something that can't be achieved by just building muscle it needs to be practiced over and over and over. genes helps but practice is key to any successful athlete worth talking about.
Jets I take from your comment that I should be sprinting more (Which I already do but not enough)? Seems reasonable. Maybe those heavy leg press and squats just made my legs look better. But didn't really affect the sides of the muscles that would make me run faster. I don't really and not sure if anyone else does. I used to be the fastest in my school and the soccer club. Also in the neighborhood. but my numbers are still shit compared to these to average Olympians.
That was impressive! You guys had laser start and finish and still ran 4.2's! If I'm not mistaken, the NFL only does a laser finish, but a hand start. I could be wrong though
Speaking as someone who has personally done the Bobsled/Skeleton Combine, you had a huge advantage against Manteo from the way you started. Manteo started from a 3 point position which is slower with those lasers then from what you were doing which is the stand up start, in which you actually get way more momentum coming in at that first starting laser. For example, I run 7 flat in an open 60 meter track race, but I've ran 6.50 in the 60 at the Bobsled/Skeleton Combine with the way you were starting which is the stand up start because I have that much more momentum before going into that first timing laser. If you were to start like he was, and how they make NFL guys start, you are nowhere near a 4.2 40 laser guy. I promise. No offense brother, just keeping it real.
I was there in Calgary when you ran the 6.50s 60m. And you had a 2.03s 15m time, and a 3.56s 30m time. I also did the sprints that day and covered the 15m in 2s flat, and 60m in 6.46s. The start method is individualized for each person. Personally, I've found the standing method - like most USBSF athletes - to be faster. (0.06s faster over 15m for me when I did back to back tests.) Manteo, however, did not. He tested it out, and could not improve. This is largely because as a professional sprinter he is extraordinarily efficient coming out of the 'blocks' position. With practice though, I bet he would be faster.
Ikon0307 It's factually proven that the standing start is faster, not so much individualized. They even tell us that at the Bobsled/Skeleton combine.

@@Ikon0307 How can you honestly post a video trying to show off your 40 yard dash time and not even do it right? You have a turf field right next to you. Do you not know how you are supposed to start in a real 40? Starting with any amount of momentum like you did is just laughable. "At least I got in the 4.2s" Really??? I don't want to be an ass here but this was really dishonest. There's nothing wrong with a 4.45 time.
Second guy was somewhat a rolling start, no? First guy def looked and appeared faster. Started from a stop. His times look legit. Passes the smell test.
0.2 seconds should be added to these timings, as in a real race, reaction time is counted. Unless you set the timer (and the sprinter) start with the sound of a gunshot to include reaction time which will usually be between 0.1 and 0.25 (less than 0.1 is considered false start).
That was very fast, I definitely think you could beat him if you were on your technique, your technique looks more of someone running a 100m race, whereas Manteo has a short and compact technique that is essential to a race as short as 40 yards. Great high definition video by the way!
I love how there are probably football players out there who are thinking they can run 4.2...YOU CAN'T!

I'm not trying to be negative or rip on you bro, it's just people always throw around way faster 40 yard dash times then what they actually can run. I'm sure you're a great athlete regardless..
Thomas Wilson Pace Actually I was curious about that too, so I did run one from the 3 point start, like Manteo, and I did a 4.39. Here's the video: ua-cam.com/video/VgjUnAYUqdA/v-deo.html That's 0.07 to 0.10 slower than my standing. I tested on another day, and I was 0.06 faster standing. I go a bit more into the variables involved in timing these in the article where this video was originally posted, if you care to read: usathletictrust.org/athlete-advocacy/usat-publications/40-yard-dash-race-manteo-mitchell-vs-nathan-ikon-crumpton/
If you want to test it yourself - standing vs 3 point - please do. I'd be interested in seeing what the differences are from person to person.
Ikon0307 I just watched it... The only tip I'd give you is that in a real 40 yard dash, they start on your first movement, not your first step. That's a huge difference. You rocked back and then into the start which they'd never allow, because that gives you a ton more momentum, where as Manteo didn't do that at all. I'd still say you're a high 4.4 guy, which is legit either way. And I'm glad you posted this, because this shows me how legit Manteo's speed is. Wow I had no idea he was that fast. Great article and video by the way. And did you see his 300 time from this weekend? 32.73, incredible... Anyways, good luck this season bro!
@@Ikon0307 How can you honestly post a video trying to show off your 40 yard dash time and not even do it right? You have a turf field right next to you. Do you not know how you are supposed to start in a real 40? Starting with any amount of momentum like you did is just laughable. "At least I got in the 4.2s" Really??? I don't want to be an ass here but this was really dishonest. There's nothing wrong with a 4.45 time.
Second guy was somewhat a rolling start, no? First guy def looked and appeared faster. Started from a stop. His times look legit. Passes the smell test.
well now thete is a 400m sprinter who ran 100m sub 10sec
These ain’t no 4.27
poster of this vid: you are saying you are faster than some 95 percent of nfl combine participants?
Mantheo has sneakers and the other guy has spikes lool
no he didn't.
Kevin Junior Mekulu manteo had spikes on, check it out
@@davintate5734 size 11.5/12 jump spikes. way too big ha....
Yo, who’s stepdad just ran a 4.6😂??
That’s not that slow I’m 16 and I run 4.6
he looked way too fast for someone with his... "features"
Most guys in the NFL could easily run under a 4.3 if they were 170lbs like this guy
you forget those guys also have two two three times as much muscle lmao. Stop comparing them to NFL athletes. It's two completely different worlds
Na chief
stop the blapshemy
Ikon u think i can run a 11.9 my Pb is an 13.01 but i way 240 pounds
Play fb plz
Did he say he wanna be the first guy to break the 10s barrier as a 400m runner? He never heard of Usain Bolt?
All the football players are like a 4.2 is really fast......
0.2 seconds should be added to these timings, as in a real race, reaction time is counted. Unless you set the timer (and the sprinter) start with the sound of a gunshot to include reaction time which will usually be between 0.1 and 0.25 (less than 0.1 is considered false start).
qp12qp not for the 40 yard dash
NIC has a long stride
if Nathan got in a sprinters stance he'd run a faster time.😐😐
Dash Tate no what he’s doing actually makes his time way faster than the 3 point stance
Sorry dude but Van Niekerk already ran sub 10..
Ah duh!
These are pro sprinters with metal spikes on a track.They would not hit these times in an nfl combine.
Manteo is a 400m guy tho
Did he just say try and get into 4.1s? Lol
you started standing up and he still beat you, so tbh its not even that close but still good running
hmm the love guru sure
HE WAS IN MY STATE UTAH :D COOL
I think Nathan will be as fast as Manteo if he cut his long hair off
Hahahhahaa
Hello world my name is....HAHA
the lasers are .2 seconds off
Not bad at all
That was very fast, I definitely think you could beat him if you were on your technique, your technique looks more of someone running a 100m race, whereas Manteo has a short and compact technique that is essential to a race as short as 40 yards. Great high definition video by the way!
Sprint Geezer the skeleton guy has a pretty fast 40 he said he only ran ,10.8 or 10.9 in college track
These people are like super human compared to normal people
the first guy looked the fastest
Yes he did but thats cause his strides were more choppy
I'm 13 and run the 40 in 5 seconds
That's really a good time at 13.
Bruh I've never ran exactly 40 but u estimated and got 5.2 idk if I made it closer or farther
Lol definitely does not run Consistent 4.3 -4.2
There only 5 and 3 hundredths of a second slower than Chris johnson!
retire sprinters crushing nfl players
You guys are slow.
