Great work Billy!
thanks for being involved Sage. AND for your hospitality. Great times in Boulder.
The shot of Timmy at 09:40 is absolutely perfect -- award winning. Dude, solid job.
mad respect to that guy.
Freaking LOVE everything Sage Canaday says from from 6:15-7:45.
The smile at 9.42... perfect
Sage is such a good dude, you can tell he never uses the N word even in private. Go team Canaday!
+Hank g ha ha... hilarious comment
comment of the year ! haha ! but jokes aside sage is a great guy in life , love him for sharing his wealth of knowledge through his videos!
Great film, Billy! You take what could be a simple job of reporting a race and turn it into a story. You're become a premiere storyteller in a sport that is growing rapidly in popularity. We will look back at your work with gratitude for its simplicity, honesty and attention to the details of each of the runners' stories. Well done, and thank you!
Not worthy Stewart - thank you!
One of my favorites by far! Great job Billy, and the Drum n Bass was a nice touch! :)
Awesome job Billy! Please keep 'em coming! Really loved that last freeze frame of Sage at the end.
I love the sage smile at the end of the video, it's something else!
Amazing video, amazing race, amazing competitors, everything was just fine :o
Loved it. Great build-up to the race, fantastic race footage, loved the talk with Sage right before he finished........ Would like to see the footage of the others talking after the race. I give it a 9.9 out 10. Can't wait for what you come out with next year.
Awesome film! Loved how you edited the interviews with the race footage. Always looking forward to your next piece. Thanks for making these!
Thanks for watching Roger!
So good! For someone living in Europe it is awesome to get a glimpse into what goes on over there. Looks like a lot of fun and even more mud! Thanky Billy!
Going back through all of your race videos. You sir, have a talent for capturing these races. Thank you.

Another super film Billy. Keep up the great work and inspiring others to get out and run.

Great film! Well done, as always!

Trust me, it could have been a lot LOT longer. Wanted to focus on telling a more concise story :)

Great video, great story. Thanks for sharing.
Great job Billy, that was some very good story telling.
Nice work! What an exciting race!
Awesome work Billy! It would be great to see how you capture the running at night and on the move.
Wise words from Sage around 6:10
wonderful! thankd Billy
Great stuff. Really gives great homage to these incredible athlete. Personal and intense storytelling.
very very nice!!! welldone to all of the imressive runners and also to the director"s team!!!!!
Damn yeah. I’ve been having trouble getting out these last couple weeks but this was the kind of motivation I need. Like good commentary on cycling or something this hella hits deep in the emotional part of running. Thanks.
Cmon Billy let's get this music
that was beautiful, Billy =)
Well done, good short, very impressed.
Amazing! You outdid yourself, Billy. You do for the elites what Ginger does for the mid-packers - framing the experience through really great story and exceptional production. Thank you for making this!
This is fantastic!!!! Incredible work.
I loves these videos 👌
This video was phenomenal.
Would love to become an ultra-runner when I get older! All these thoughts were awesome to hear!
Awesome video
super cool!
Cool film, good music. Not egocentric. One for the ladies next?
Go Sage.. I hope you win the western states 100 this year!
Awesome job Billy. Love it. Good pace. a weird cut at 1:31 - 1:32. Great shot at 3:12. Did you try without dissolve at 7:25 ? Another awesome of shot of TimOlson at 9:38. Hope you won't mind my little criticism. I'm an editor, so i get a bit Nazi when it comes to technicalities. Again, i love the pace. Well edited. A little inconsistent with colorgrading at times, i guess that's because of different sources that you worked with. Love that earthy muddy color tone near the finish line. Looking forward to your next one. Thanks Billy for doing this. Thanks for showing runners like me who lives half the world away of what's it like there. Thank you.
Thanks. Coloring is far from my strong suit. Working on it. Thanks for watching Eric.
beautiful!
What is the song during the race? (starting around 3:46)
I press the like button as soon I notice its Billy Yang film ✌
anyone know the name of track that was playing at the start of the race?
Great film, but next time give some love to Dakota Jones. He ran a heck of a race!
so good!
Magic
I'd literally never heard of Tofol Castanyer until Zach Miller mentioned him from Madeira and now he's EVERYWHERE
I LOVE THIS!
Like like like!!
Why such a lack in coverage of any of the top ladies?
I really wanted to, alas couldn't secure a quality 2nd camera person who wasn't already on an assignment there. As you can see in my Lake Sonoma and Sean O'Brien videos (not to mention my short film "Western Time") I really do like telling the complete story. Alas lack of another camera and lack of resources wouldn't allow for it.
