why does nobody ever talk about the fucking top notch production quality of these videos? the music is always perfect, the editing is funny and engaging without being too psychotically jump-cutty, the jokes land, they're infectiously positive... just so well done, sir.
No tent, sleeping on sleeping bags in the mud, park benches and everywhere else besides a hotel with no food, and proper shower...and Liam still manages to giggle (infectious one might i add)😂 love this kid😍
I've done it (probably with less footage than Liam) and my film still isn't quite finished after more than a year (admittedly not working on it full time) My runtime of the final product is more than double though, the fact he's able to tell the story this well in 40 minutes is very impressive
Those bonus rules are absolutely off the charts!! And that you couldn't bring the tent 😭 I appreciate that you mentioned the low morale, and the minor freakouts, because I would have been there too. Amazing job.
They really need to change the rules of this competition. Hitchhiking etc is fine, having to ask people to buy you tickets, food is going too far. The checkpoints shouldn't just give points, they should give money to spend on travel. You should always just be allowed to buy food. A multi-billion dollar company shouldn't be taking advantage of the kindness of strangers. (An otherwise entertaining video as always Liam
I generally agree, but I'm gonna cut them some slack. It looks to me like the organizers actually tried to prevent this. - They got food on the checkpoints, so if the plan was for all teams to at least hit one per day, food would more or less be taken care of. Seeing that Liam was 192th with 5 checkpoints this assumption isn't that far off. - Apart from Germany with its stupid laws on free camping (speaking as a German), sleep is also taken care of with the tent. - The rule about not making money seems to me as an attempt to discourage people from begging for money, because while it is pretty hard to find someone to pay 50 Euros for a train ticket, it should be pretty easy to get 25 people to give you 2 Euros. (In this context, unfortunately it's much easier to get money for a challenge than if you actually need it e.g. if you are homeless) - Additionally they get 24 Red Bulls on every Challenge, with the price ranging from 1-2 Euros (what I could find with quick googling), so someone paying 20 Euros for a train ticket in exchange for the whole tray might actually make a good deal. Now I don't know how the train prices are in different countries, but in Germany this takes you pretty far if you take only the slow trains e.g. Constance to Stuttgart for 14,70 Euros (and slow is not even that slow, this route takes 3 hours). You could even try going for a 49 Euro ticket, if you hold onto your cans for multiple stops. This allows you to take all slow trains in Germany for a month. (But I admit, this is a probably not achievable in practice without someone giving you more than the cans are worth) I don't know what they were allowed to bring in their backpacks. As someone with a bit of backpacking experience, I feel like it should be possible to fit food for 1-2 days into it, especially with loosing the tent, but I don't know 1. how much backpacking experience and easily packable equipment Liam has 2. how much space his camera equipment takes up, so I might be wrong about this. I'm assuming this is the first event of this kind Red Bull hosted, otherwise I would be way less forgiving on the points regarding food and the value of redbull cans.
I’m jealous af. Getting to travel Europe with friends while meeting awesome new people and eating good food and also competing in a huge Red Bull competition. That is great
Insane Production quality, been watching you for years, seen every single one of your videos. Just seeing the growth of this channel from 3,000 to 2 million subscribers has been amazing to watch, congrats Liam!
I absolutely cannot believe he left the tent. His stuff was probably bare bones to fit the filming gear and batteries and stuff, but still that's just an unacceptable letdown to the team. You can take it out of the box, strap it to the outside of your bag, separate the components and stuff them, anything but leave it! Your teammates must've been saints with how patient they'd need to be to tolerate that.
good job dude! You really held the team together and made all the tough times turn into positive or laughable moments. Will never forget this challenge and meeting you guys! 😂 Fred for president
I've always been a silent watcher, but i just want to say i love the format of your videos! they're always worth the wait and i can see all the effort involved! keep up the good work, liam! love from indonesia ❤
Liam is such an amazing UA-camr, he can make one video a year and as soon as it posts, he’s got hundreds of thousands of views almost instantly because everybody clicks instantly on a Liam video. It looks like you had a blast, thank you for sharing this entire adventure with us!
all those people around europe were so nice to you guys, driving you hours around a country, buying you croissaints, its all so freaking wholesome and i love it
Hi Liam! I haven’t seen your channel in so long, but I’m glad to have stumbled across it again. It’s crazy to see how much your channel has grown. I remember watching the videos where you taught Max unusual tricks like Rock Paper Scissors, writing his own name, cleaning his toys, playing Minecraft etc. I also remember the iconic video where you wrote the first page of Harry Potter on your wall. Anyways, I just wanted to say keep up the good work!
this was amazing!!!! crazy how good the production is and how you vlogged so well despite being sleep deprived and exhausted! looking forward to the next redbull stunt hehe
Liam, this was insanely just great. Its like a movie but those special ones that standout from the rest and offer a different experience. Thank you Liam, you are probably the best youtuber ever.
Ok. Lets talk background music. Beautiful piece at the beginning by Dvořák - composer from my country, so I just wanna say: Hello from the Czech republic!!!! BEAUTIFUL, AMAZING ! :-)
Hiii!!! I’m not sure if you remember, but I do know that one or two years ago you met a kid who’s a fan of yours called Chase! I am actually best friends with his sister (Susannah) haha, it’s really cool when I saw the photo frame of you and him standing in front of your Shrek wall! I’ve also been watching your videos for a few years and it’s really cool to know someone who’s met one of my favourite content creators, keep up the great work!
This man is a walking adventure and always has a cinematic masterpiece up his sleeve. 😂 Enjoyed this video. Congrats to Liam and his team on finishing the race. You guys were a joy to watch. ❤👏
You must've been exhausted, it looked like you were the one keeping up the morale of the group even though the girls seemed to do incredibly well, too. You guys are all winners no matter the spot you landed! Keep choosing the adventure!
It went flying, great video! It was really nice to see, no fake drama to make it engaging, no nonsense, it was really enjoyable, well done! Congrats on being 192nd!!
Translation: Liam, me and my family love your videos! Even my grandparents watch them. They love the ones with your dog in it the most, so can you... you know... make more videos including the ones with your dog?
in 2019 he made vids that were like 5 mins at his moms house. now in 2024 hes making full on documentaries and now racing across europe. crazy how far you have made it liam!
You remind me a lot of an adult version of Wallace from the comic Wallace the Brave, and that's a compliment! Your videos are very high-quality, thank you for putting so much effort into them :D
It’s interesting how I’m subscribed but never see when you post a new video. Just randomly came to my thoughts today, I haven’t seen a Liam Thompson video in a while, let me check if he’s still making videos and sure enough there’s a few videos I haven’t seen yet.

THISSSS I love the effort he puts into his videos
Also no forcing me to sub or like lol. Tbh, it actually makes me want to like it more, and I've already subbed.
Been watching this man since the running video yearrrssss ago and I swear I’ve watched every single one of his videos lmao
Liam is top tier no doubt
Liam is literally that one friend everyone wants
How many accounts do you have bro
He actually is
This man's entire life is waking up and thinking what weird stuff can I do today and I think he understood the assignment better than anyone ever lmao
Ferb, I know what what we’re gonna do today
The way that throughout the whole video the three of them sound more and more deranged is killing me 💀
Liam’s voice cracks once he reaches Germany are hilarious lmao

I can't imagine having to edit 7 days of footage into 40 minutes! Superbly done, Liam!
I've done it (probably with less footage than Liam) and my film still isn't quite finished after more than a year (admittedly not working on it full time)
My runtime of the final product is more than double though, the fact he's able to tell the story this well in 40 minutes is very impressive

Yes i watched all his vids 2 times until he started poating once a year (aka önce every 6 months) and 40 mins long

If it were that easy then it wouldn’t really be a challenge. Anyone can take trains across Europe
At 3:19 i genuinely thought for a sec that you had to drink the 24 cans of red bull before each checkpoint
Same and I thought they wanted to kill them
they would die
I though they would just get 24 cans at each checkpoint and have to transport them all
IMMACULATE cinematopgraphy, fantastic video, 10/10 would recommend
hey I just watched the full video, and I can still confirm, it was good
@@unst0ppable_201 same I like Liam's style of content
