Behind scenes was my first exposure of crossfit ( 2011 ) & it's really a shame that it's now being charged to view. They would make more money on the back end of all the people like myself who took up crossfit after viewing the series.
These videos are so well done for a reason and see the $6 as a donation to how much we like that they put out this stuff. I just paid it for a month and am having a great time going through all the footage, so well done too. You'll find that it's worth it :)
You should be able to get these for free if you signed up to the Open at least. Like, Sevan definitely deserves paying for this great content, but...come on. Everyone who signed up to the Open has played their small part in making this event a possibility.
Sevan is getting paid. And it is not like the content they put up on youtube is free anyway. It is ad-supported or at least is supposed to be. And not to mention that this serves as an advertisement for the crossfit itself as well as many sponsors that appear in the video (indirectly).
Sorry Crossfit I am not also paying for the journal access, between monthly dues and the cost of all your iTunes videos I am not adding another cost . You hype the BTS videos and release #6 only ? It doesn't have to be this weird man. Just post it or don't stop the games
I cried when they showed all the volunteers. You could see it in a lot of their eyes those guys and gals were just a bunch of people who dream of being where the athletes were at. Same feeling I have.
Got to see part 1 & 2 here on UA-cam, pretty disappointed that they took them down and are only allowing it on the crossfit journal... it was free and now I have to pay 50 bucks to watch it? That sucks.
I loved every second of this and josh bridges I take my hat of to you I'm current serving soldier in the uk and for you to come from SF background in the seal at you age and finish in top 20 respect brother role on 2017 games
Did anyone else think it was weird how they were talking about the shorter athletes no longer being able to compete when Mat Fraser is 5'7" and destroyed everyone?
What's this hammering on 5'5 guys? Fraser is hardly taller and he won the Games. It's all about absolute strength. Either you can snatch 275 or you can't. If you can, you are in for a top spot.
I'd rather pay on iTunes than to increase traffic on the Crossfit Journal. Sucks for people who pay monthly box dues $90-150, for the Open ($20) & possibly a $10 judges course.
Crossfit its a bit early to get greedy!! You dont even have 1 million subscribers yet!!! And if you want this sport to grow you can't charge people for content!!! The nfl doesn't charge for the super bowl!!
The network that carries the Super Bowl pays the NFL millions and millions to carry it, then the network makes it money back by charging even more millions for for commercials. So, NO the NFL does not give the Super Bowl away for free
The actual crossfit games is free to watch, it sucks that the behind the scenes isn't free too but at the end of the day they make good content and they are trying to run a business and I get that.
I love these. I've got 2014 & 2015 on file; always a treat to go back into the Games and relive the action. As for access and payment... I'm kinda torn. On the one hand, the production values are so, so high, and the amount of hard work and dedication that went into them extraordinary...but on the other, I doubt I'd pay, in the same way I don't pay for porn or music videos. (I'm dreading any changes in how they're going to broadcast the 2017 Games, because I have enjoyed watching the full competitions for two years now on UA-cam.) 'Something for nothing'? Perhaps. But to me, at this stage of the game (no pun intended), these videos are well constructed promos/advertisements/commercials for CrossFit, ROGUE and Reebok. (Never mind the athletes themselves.) The more interest in the activity, the more CrossFitters, the more CrossFitters, the more CrossFit boxes, the more fees, yadda, yadda, yadda.
I dont mind paying for these longer well produced videos, but FFS choose one consistent platform for delivery please, I hate signing up for a website only to use it once. and 'no' I dont want to pay for a reoccurring subscription for on demand videos. Don''t forget the casual fans and crossfitters.
so what? did metcon action get in trouble for posting all the episodes? they had all of them last night and now all gone? at least let some non greedy people post it for us to watch who want to enjoy them...
40:30 deadlift is probably the safest thing your athletes could do if with right form, hand stand walks, muscle ups, snatches, power clean, is all super hard on your shoulders and knees, deadlift is safe if you keep your back contracted and core tight
Wtf? yesterday i watched part 1, 2. and i saw they had the rest, and now they're not here anymore! like really? charge for a Behind the scenes? come on dude.
Now I know why we got these heavy Deadlift WODs in comptrain this year. Watch out for Kara Webb this year, I really want her to win and I think she really has a shot.
If $50.00 is that big of a deal, couldn't you just pay $5.99, watch the 4+ hrs of content and then unsubscribe? Surely $5.99 is reasonable for so much content
Justin Altman in my opinion it would be OK if you wouldn't have to pay a fee for everything. The affiliates have to pay a fee to HQ, you have to pay for the open... I would expect them to do something like that for free at least.
to further other comments. its sad how when cross fit first started it was talked about how they were revolutionizing how events and the exposure of the sport was shown. It was all free and available like the workouts. with everything as the sport grows and the sponsors and the affiliate fees and the desire for more exposure to content, so does the greed of the all mighty dollar. Lawyers to battle the war on Soda fees are piling up!
Wow, saw that the behind scenes crossfit games '16 was online on utube (Vids 1 -6), I watched part one and then decided to watch the rest the next day, but they were quickly taken down. I should have watched them all when I had the chance. Now in order to view them they (crossfit) want you to subscribe. I mean are they not making enough money off the games, regionals, the open and all the boxes that have opened up around they world? Couldn’t they give viewers this opportunity to view the vids without having to take money from them for this too? Man, talk about greed!
I appreciate your comment Tony Alaniz, I'm just saying that if they allow people to view the "behind the scenes collage" I'm sure it's not going to break the bank.
So fucking inappropriate to go up to Tia after she got 2nd (and was clearly distressed about it) and to start asking about it, and to elaborate how she felt. Shame on you Sevan Matossian. @CrossFit there is simply no way that this guy is the best you have for the job of filming and interviewing these athletes.
mat fraser parents... damn that hit my hard. Parents support always appreciated from their kid. So emotional. Awesome edit and backstage scenes btw
Orestis Papapetrou what happened
Theo nothing from the video fraser looks he has great support from his parents.
Orestis Papapetrou That's what hit u hard?
Travis Mayer is absolutely hilarious. I had no idea XD Crossfit needs to give him more attention!
He and Bridges need a morning talk show.
Man this is pure gold. Bring sevan back again.
Where are parts 1-5?
I found them here: journal.crossfit.com/ but it says you have to suscribe to view the full versions. Hopefully they will put out 1-5 on here as well
Joe Del appreciate it brother
Joe Del wow so they just want damn money!!
I don't even understand why they would release the last one..?! They released all the trailers, but this one they put up in full.
wheres the rest of the address ?
Matt Fraser's parents crying...even though it was a few seconds I got goosebumps. I hope I can make my parents proud like that as well.
Please release more, I've been to the games a few times and love seeing the athletes up close!
really nice to see Camille comforting Tia :)

Dan is such a class act. I hope he comes back full force this year!
it's been a longgggg timeeee without you bts
I'm only watching because of Josh Bridges he cracks me up!!
You should be able to get these for free if you signed up to the Open at least. Like, Sevan definitely deserves paying for this great content, but...come on. Everyone who signed up to the Open has played their small part in making this event a possibility.
Maino1 100% agree with this comment
Sevan is a solid employee at CrossFit HQ that does more than just Behind the Scenes. He gets paid.
Give Sevan even a fraction of what Castro earns
Sevan is getting paid. And it is not like the content they put up on youtube is free anyway. It is ad-supported or at least is supposed to be. And not to mention that this serves as an advertisement for the crossfit itself as well as many sponsors that appear in the video (indirectly).
Sorry Crossfit I am not also paying for the journal access, between monthly dues and the cost of all your iTunes videos I am not adding another cost . You hype the BTS videos and release #6 only ? It doesn't have to be this weird man. Just post it or don't stop the games
Never got to finish behind the scenes for 2015 because you guys took them down.. It'd be nice if you put them up also because I was on part 3
they are still in a hidden playlist, select all created playlists and search (most are hidden) BTS 2015.. saw them the other day!
Raul Alejandro Peña Medina wow thanks man! Hopefully i can watch when I get out of work
Wisdom Is truth no problem! Enjoy!
I cried when they showed all the volunteers. You could see it in a lot of their eyes those guys and gals were just a bunch of people who dream of being where the athletes were at. Same feeling I have.
Got to see part 1 & 2 here on UA-cam, pretty disappointed that they took them down and are only allowing it on the crossfit journal... it was free and now I have to pay 50 bucks to watch it? That sucks.
Top notch - really enjoy these glimpses behind the scenes... one of a kind coverage - mahalo braddah, Sevan.
I loved every second of this and josh bridges I take my hat of to you I'm current serving soldier in the uk and for you to come from SF background in the seal at you age and finish in top 20 respect brother role on 2017 games
Fucking sevan always asking the right questions. "are you married?" hahahahhaa
Thanks Crossfit. Keep them coming! It is weird that I am watching pt 6 before pt 4 and pt 5.
I was watching part 1 yesterday, now i cant find it, do i seriously have to pay to watch them now?
I want a hat like Josh Bridges. Camo rocks.
It just seems like all of these people have such a good outlook on life.
Loved this wish they would put the other five on UA-cam and I followed Ben stoneberg after this he seems like a really nice guy !
I just paid for my subscription. Im about 11 minutes into part 1 and it is SO worth it.
where can i do that?
journal.crossfit.com/
Christian 449 what's this then it's over a hour long is this behind the scenes?
This is episode 6 of the behind the scenes. Episodes 1-5 are between 45-90 mins long and can be found on journal.crossfit.com/
Paid by Crossfit for this comment?
hey Crossfit you got anymore of them behind the scenes ???
Why are you releasing part 6 before 1-5?!?!?!?! Give me part 1!
Josh, Matt and Ben at 47:20 had me dying
I just followed Travis Mayer because of this video hahaha
Did anyone else think it was weird how they were talking about the shorter athletes no longer being able to compete when Mat Fraser is 5'7" and destroyed everyone?
Dylan Sanders Yeah.. I noticed. Fraser is going to push the standards even further.
Katrin Davidsdottir's focus is second to none.
Why is there only a part 2 and a part 6 of this series??
its now nearing the end of 2017.... really thought CrossFit would reconsider and release these awesome behind the scenes. suppose not
Cole Sager is a top tier athlete with a thumb for a head
Brooke’s laugh is beautiful❤️❤️❤️
WHERE ARE ALL OF THE REST OF THE EPISODES? They were out, and then they got taken off.
They're pulling a Star Wars and releasing these out of order. Don't matta, I can wait
What's this hammering on 5'5 guys? Fraser is hardly taller and he won the Games. It's all about absolute strength. Either you can snatch 275 or you can't. If you can, you are in for a top spot.
Kasimir B that's what I was thinking ? This guy just kept f***ing going on and on about height
Tsk. Really wanted to see the other parts. Can't afford it tho :(
Camille sharing her chocolate with Tia. They are sooo cute.
Was Dave Castro on molly at the end of the video?
Sam's wife seems so lovely!! I want a documentary to be done about them!
I'd rather pay on iTunes than to increase traffic on the Crossfit Journal. Sucks for people who pay monthly box dues $90-150, for the Open ($20) & possibly a $10 judges course.
what extra content? I just checked the itunes store and it only says 1hr55min run time. thnx.
Can somebody explain me please what Mat is talking about in: 54:50 ? About 50 reps and arguing with a judge ? Thanks. I dont understand.
Great show. Love Sevan's interview technique. Cant wait to see the rest..................its fucking open season
"The Thrusters are too light" -Annie 😎 #savagebadass
Releasing pt. 6 only to stir up more journal memberships.. SMH
absolutely awesome!
#LetsMakeMayerFamous
How bad is the sound in this?
Are they uploading them backwards ?
Gotta pay to watch the previous ones.
Hey Sevan, sure you know this already, but your mic was broken. Terrible sound dude.
Finally the whole article
They guy at 0:38 is the luckiest guy on earth
Crossfit its a bit early to get greedy!! You dont even have 1 million subscribers yet!!! And if you want this sport to grow you can't charge people for content!!! The nfl doesn't charge for the super bowl!!
Excatly. I realise that making this content is not free, but come on Crossfit.
the superbowl is also powered my millions and millions of dollars of ads and commercials....
The network that carries the Super Bowl pays the NFL millions and millions to carry it, then the network makes it money back by charging even more millions for for commercials. So, NO the NFL does not give the Super Bowl away for free
The actual crossfit games is free to watch, it sucks that the behind the scenes isn't free too but at the end of the day they make good content and they are trying to run a business and I get that.
How long the NFL been around compared to Crossfit yet look what this sport has given to this world
why part 6 first tough?
I love these. I've got 2014 & 2015 on file; always a treat to go back into the Games and relive the action. As for access and payment... I'm kinda torn.

Don''t forget the casual fans and crossfitters.
Bridges is Hilarious, seems like a real good dude.
Let's all follow Ben Stoneberg!!
sevan sounds like the guy behind the camera in cloverfield, hud i think his name was
Fantastic way to end the video you get see Dan Bailey's cute face. 😜
so what? did metcon action get in trouble for posting all the episodes? they had all of them last night and now all gone? at least let some non greedy people post it for us to watch who want to enjoy them...

40:30 deadlift is probably the safest thing your athletes could do if with right form, hand stand walks, muscle ups, snatches, power clean, is all super hard on your shoulders and knees, deadlift is safe if you keep your back contracted and core tight
3:25 i feel bad for Althea man ... snapped it on the box jumps. And dang her collarbones lookin hurt after all them cleans

I love Tia. With a bit stronger of a mental game, she will be very tough to beat!
Lame. Put these on youtube for free.
Why must they make us pay for all the good videos now 😞
Where are the other parts??
Wtf? yesterday i watched part 1, 2. and i saw they had the rest, and now they're not here anymore! like really? charge for a Behind the scenes? come on dude.

If $50.00 is that big of a deal, couldn't you just pay $5.99, watch the 4+ hrs of content and then unsubscribe? Surely $5.99 is reasonable for so much content

Nicolette Wright they spend millions on the Games every year.
I appreciate your comment Tony Alaniz, I'm just saying that if they allow people to view the "behind the scenes collage" I'm sure it's not going to break the bank.
like Christmas morning
So fucking inappropriate to go up to Tia after she got 2nd (and was clearly distressed about it) and to start asking about it, and to elaborate how she felt. Shame on you Sevan Matossian.
@CrossFit there is simply no way that this guy is the best you have for the job of filming and interviewing these athletes.
Dude. What is your effing fixation with the competitors' height???? Let them win already.
Essex high school represent lol
1:58............Brooke Wells's massage therapist.....
