The Art of Racewalking

[Charlozz123]

So. Fucking. Stupid. And. Gay.

[YsAttack]

Keep Racewalking, those medals shut people who hate DOWN!! :)

[fruticetum]

I don't get the dad's comment that a powerwalker beat this kid. I racewalk some and even an easy pace can beat the fastest power walker.

[Z0mbieRaid]

that'd be so annoying, i'd be so tempted to just book it. I guess that's where some of the skill comes in.

[themsugurl]

I'm taking a power walking class now and who ever says its not a sport should try themselves!!!!

[RunningEagle2011]

race walking is harder than running...and i run in collegiate cross country races

[maximHOT1]

people who make fun of this sport are obviously ignorant. any athletes could see why this is considered a sport. 

[DJTriplestar]

fuckin lol

[artkellner]

Hater's gonna hate. Walkers retaliate

[52bleedingeyes]

idk how you can racewalk 10k i remember tring to do the 800 meters at school racewalking as my teacher told me to stop winning so much i think meh winning is more important then the hospital...

[sid35gb]

Good luck for the Olympics.

people my mock but the race walk guys I have seen are flippin quick :) I have to run to keep up with them.

[dustlandfairy]

AHAHAHAHA.

[mepoohe]

Good for you!! I watched your video because I want to learn this purely for fitness reasons.

[CarlierJef]

this guy walks faster than i can run :)

[cobasa]

thats not a real sport or a real event

[yeagemk]

I want to see him racewalk over the hurtles! COME ON!

[SciFye64]

Holy Cow Dude I started running and my I have friends are are extreme runners and they do race walking and they say that race walking is harder than running and I can't imagine any other sport harder than running, so it must be true coming from experienced run/ race walker pros. Well hey, good luck to you I hope you do successful in this sport I probabally can't racewalk to save my life peace out!

[VreeFisions]

It's a very unnatural movement, and I dont see how this fit sin with the idea of survival of the fittest.

[okaminess]

It does wonders for a bit of toning and weight loss.

[kylerules]

gay as hell

[surfurdude22]

hell yea it looks funny.

[OrginalMctron]

Mellybooxd I was just trollin becuase the haters gonna hate video linked to this. I do appreciate this AARP approved sport.

[OrginalMctron]

Gayest sport ever. It's like mutant hula-girl gumby lanky kid gyrating in a vicous Elvis accdently took way to much speed manner.

[MellyBooXD]

@OrginalMctron Dont hate. actually try it and you will see how painful and difficult it actually is!

[ILoveMushrooms777]

@OrginalMctron Wanna know something funny. I looked at you in a video. Your pretty pudgy yourself. You sure as hell couldn't be a distance runner or an athlete, so obviously your insecure about yourself. This makes your resort on making fun of others.

[OrginalMctron]

@ILoveMushrooms777 and you think that this was anything more than me linking from this other video and then making some jokes jeez cool off it's teh internetz man no need to take anything seriously, for reals holmes it's obviously this video I hunted down and decide to pounce on this vid, no I linked from a classic 50's era psa synced to Haters gonna Hate, hmmm your statements are as profound as the rantings of Rush Limbaugh.

[ps2knutz]

Haters gonna hate.

[RachaelNicolexD]

look, i can run to save my life, and i def. can't walk like this, but i can check out packages and that is a nice one lawls

[RachaelNicolexD]

@RachaelNicolexD *can't

[chiqabonita92]

i'm sorry, but this reminds me of malcolm in the middle xD

[gleader]

homie can get to the deep end of the pool faster than anyone without getting yelled at

[pfunkslex]

Good luck mate!

[ozr2222]

nowadays the strangest forms of activities are considered "sports"

[Hasbo88]

what a huge fag

[xBananaSurferx]

@Hasbo88

not only is that comment showing that your a judgemental asshole, but that you probably can't even run a mile in the time he walks one

[Hasbo88]

@xBananaSurferx you're right. i can run two.

[xBananaSurferx]

@Hasbo88

if you could run two miles in the time he walks 1 (probably around 7); then you would have a world record. WHICH OF COURSE IN THAT SITUATION I WILL BOW DOWN. but oh thats right you don't have a world record.

[heyitshannahbanana]

Sure it looks strange but I'm not gonna ridicule and disclaim something just cuz I myself! That's just a little but narrow-minded, people. Just because YOU don't think it's real doesn't mean it's not. It's in the Olympics!

[rawnotion22]

Come on it not a sport. It involves no talent or athletic ability. Be honest you know I'm right. I'll give the technique and endurance but this is just silly. It's like a sport for losers who can't play real sports

[TXLPE]

@rawnotion22 Let me see you WALK a 7 minute mile

[fruticetum]

@rawnotion22

This is no different than, say, the Butterfly in swimming. Yet nobody ridicules Michael Phelps.

[vermeergirl]

It looks odd, sure, even funny. But think about it: keeping that kind of form up for 10k with what looks like a pretty demanding cadence must be really hard.

[heresjohnnnyy1]

i love running... but this looks like one of the dumbest things i have ever seen. since when is walking a challange?

[gleader]

@heresjohnnnyy1 they walk 20km or so. since when is running a challenge?

[heresjohnnnyy1]

@gleader when your heart is beating so quickly and you are gasping for air but you have to continue the punishing pace that you are at presently. when your muscles and your lungs are begging for mercy but you know you cant stop or you may lose your place in the race.

[gleader]

@heresjohnnnyy1 sounds like you're in poor form and poor shape.

[heresjohnnnyy1]

@gleader well generally speaking, anyone who can run a sub 5 minute mile is in decent shape

[PyroJordii]

sirieus if i was playing in a competition of racewalking i would just run and finish and say things like F you hipshaker and would laugh very hard because this is just sick....

And a sport for m*therf*cking Gays!!

[xBananaSurferx]

@PyroJordii

how fast can you run a mile? huh? i bet this guy could walk it faster than you can run it.

[younghippo]

sashay those hips!

[raficsulejmanovic]

Anything that involves voluntary movement of body muscles is a sport.

[mreum]

you are good! I race walk too!

[jdncsu1]

"If we did place at the top...and news came back that there was some racewalker who was internationally competitive it"...would bring great shame and embarassment onto our nation.

[Kern545]

Thanks a lot for the video. But... really his left leg wasn't straight :(

[kekio00]

bullshit

[volcompunksk8r]

LMFAO!!!!! This shit is funny as fuckk!!!!!!!hahhahahahahahhaha­hahahahaha!!!!!!!! I'm laughing so hard im crying!

[1997xander]

@volcompunksk8r

TROLL SPOTTED PREPARE TO HUNT HIM DOWN

[josedepr]

beautiful to watch... sadly i walk like your father.; without grace (like in a hurry to go to the bathroom).

felicidades

[bonitobumblebee]

Your technique is so fluid--it's beautiful to watch.

[athelia4444]

I'll admit I found this funny and the first thing that came to my mind was "I'm so pretty! Ooooh! So pretty!". But I imagine it's a lot of fun to do... And quite hard to master...

[Faelsun]

Friend of mine does this, been thinking about trying it mainly because its alot less stressful than Jogging since i have Chair legs for knees.

[InsaneGoonRules]

Just run, racewalking is for fudge packers.

[mreun]

good for you :)

i am a reac walker myself and i think the sport is AMAZING!

never say its not a real event because IT IS. burns twice as many calories as running

[plutoend99]

@mreun yeah no shit the events last for hours. the only thing race walking is good for...if you're too fat to run

[JohnSmithAprilMay]

Looks painful.

[MrBosbo5]

Hey CailanHmfc and dicemouse,

You need to get your head out ur ass and realise that a elite racewalker would be able to out run you! how fast can you run 5k? 10k? 20k?

My personal Best times for each are 20:40, 43:45, and 1:31:06. and ye im walking!

Take the piss out of race walking again and man you should really wake the fuck up, race walking is one of the oldest Olympic sports in history. I would challenge you to a race any day!

[CailanHmfc]

@MrBosbo5 If you were ''race walking'' and i was running, I have no doubts about beating you. If you're so fast at walking over long distances why not take up marathon running, and see where you place in a physically demanding sport.

[unorgurlzball]

@CailanHmfc his jersey says USA. what does yours say? a-holeville

[CailanHmfc]

@unorgurlzball mines says superdry actually.... don't know where you've seen me before or what i'm wearing.

[flexeaton]

@CailanHmfc Racewalking is physically demanding - ask yourself why run when you can drive, and why drive when you can fly and so on. It's about the skill level - and racewalking is just that. A skill which takes decades to truly perfect. Don't just slag something off because you know absolutely nothing about it - take some interest in the world of athletics.

[plutoend99]

@flexeaton why walk when you can crawl? should they have crawl-racing in the olympics too? what about hoping-on-one foot racing? Im sure theres a lot of skill in those as well, like anything..

[mandapandapop]

@plutoend99 well....why not? stop making childish arguments

seriously just DROP IT

[plutoend99]

@mandapandapop enjoy your silly sport

[plutoend99]

@MrBosbo5 nobody gives a shit about walking, its not physically demanding. its a lame excuse for competition. Ill race you any day full speed

[jaguar0277]

a este amigo le hace falta mucho trabajo tècnico, lleva los brazos muy colgados y muy lento con sus piernas.

[CailanHmfc]

i love how they exaturate it being an ''olympic sport.''

equestrian is an olympic sport doesnt make it not shit.

[IDTFG]

@CailanHmfc exaturate? Fucking hell that has to be a world record... I want to hear you say it. Make a video of yourself saying 'exaturate'. Just audio would be fine. Jeez.

[CailanHmfc]

@IDTFG Sorry grammar nazi. Exaggerate* You knew fine well what I meant and completely avoided the initial point anyway.

[IDTFG]

@CailanHmfc Reason I mentioned it was that actually I wasn't 100 per cent sure. Your opinion on the shitness of racewalking is fine. It does look quite hard though.

[Caxwell33]

Trevor Barron will be an Olympian someday.

[cedarwalker]

Awesome Trevor.

Good luck on April 11th in Long Island when the USA picks its team for May's 2010 IAAF World Cup Championships.

[tinsane73]

I've ran a 4:43 mile, but wow. this shit looks hard

[sigma20xx]

That's about my average runtime to. I'm usually a little over 5 min though. Race walking is hard as fuck. I tried it out and I really tore myself up. World class race walkers can cover a mile is 7 min or less. They are moving at a some kind of joggers pace I just cant put my finger on what that pace is without injuring myself. So I went back to running. You need someone to train you how to do it. For all you people talking shit, I bet you couldn't beat a race walker in a 20-50K distance running.

[FriedChicken4Life]

well done

[MrDrinkingLysol]

what...the...fuck

[ajxcman]

trevor is the man!

[wmidol2]

i can walk far faster than that. I don't need you're silly technique, the only rule should be DON'T RUN! I can't believe they always have to take something and warp it and screw it over with ridiculous rules. Walking is walking and I'm going to rebel against the system and create my own cometition where people can actually walk as fast as they can!

[bdiphone88]

this sport is weird and stupid at the same time they look like ed grimmley

[whatkindofdumbru]

Good for you, man. That's awesome =P

[rewilso3]

what a goober

[RunWalkRace]

Your form is very good and it is great that you've mastered a professional form at the age of 15! Go, go, go (win a lot of races)! Tom, 7:11 walker (for mile), 1976.

[wilson476videos]

I dont get how u walk and like jog

[plokmok]

you have amazing form, i think people take it for granted how hard it is to have that kind of form

your dad has great form too, looked like he was gonna pass you there for a second!

[sir62092]

that must be rly rly rly tiring!

[heatfreak99]

Trevor!!!!!!!!! its me robby your awesome come back from san diego though!!!

[lundhund90]

what place did u gett in russia?? i got 24 iam from norway ;-)

[s60evolve]

I used to racewalk in aau, I miss it so much, sucks I couldn't stick with it.

[lordgeneral9]

How can I learn to racewalk?

[Kilmarnocky]

@lordgeneral9

Hi from New Zealand.  I suggest that you join an Athletics Club with a RaceWalking group. Nice people and great for your health, figure and fitness. Good luck and have fun.

Cheers

Philip

[mmannozzi06]

good video, I repect tha a 15 year old is picking up on this overlooked olypic Sport. Good Luck Trevor!!! Hope to race with ya someday!!! Michael J. Mannozzi

----The Italian Stallian----

[hunterswine]

The motion is very fluid. Must take a lot of discipline not to just start running. The road less traveled.....or speed walked. Much respect for walking towards your dreams. Sorry couldn't help it. Respect.
