Louden Swain Makes it to the Top of the Pegboard

[MrFreeCountry]

alot of people say wrestling is gay buttruth is it is one of the hardest sports ive ever played

[jaw944]

@MrFreeCountry very true i wrestle and its a very mentally and physically tough sport. it also teaches you self discipline and to never give up. so to all you people who say wrestling is for gay people you can go shove it up your a**

[randy362005]

I wish all wrestling coaches would require their team to watch this movie.

[fischparov]

didnt realize the coach was Norris in the movie the Thing ...

[GrimReaper30]

They really do not make inspirational movie like this anymore

[MINIeminemFAN]

0:30 COULDN'T SAY ANY BETTER!! GO FOR IT LOUDEN!!

[iraqillbombya]

I'm a wrestler and I can do it... btw I'm on a 500 calorie a day diet.

[78brianr]

I listen and watch this scene before i work out- so motivational!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[joesmith8345]

Why does the coach walk around in a singlet???? 

[TheTunaCutter]

@joesmith8345 That's a real coach

[fawaz3846]

@joesmith8345 dude your missing the bigger picture. WHY IS HE WEARING A POLO SHIRT UNDER THE SINGLET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AudioAndroid]

When I got to the top I would of just let go and left those pegs up there for the coach to get down.

[jimwoodfin]

I could do this backwards & still can @ 42.

[fullerenepal]

Diet wasn't enough for Louden....24/7 with the space/sweat suit for the entire month

[RomansD828]

thanks to Simmons for this great 80s training montage haha

[jon41042]

Simmons, Simmons, Simmons!!

[hailmary7283]

SIMMONS

I now have no idea why he posts half of his links.

[robertgreen88]

"I can't do that...yeah!" (0:48)

[thisisbillgates]

"Come on Loudon! Go for it babe!"

:S

[CitySkin09]

Louden's fuckin' hungry and wants a piece of Shute!

[2life21]

love this song!!!

[sampson7858]

Good thing the Coaches head didnt peel off , grow spider legs, and crawl away.

[lawrenceofidaho]

@sampson7858 - Hahaha! Actor Charles Hallahan (the coach) was awesome as "Norris" in "The Thing"....... The effects are a bit dated by today's standards, but it's still one of the best horror movies ever made, in my opinion.

(If you don't know what Sampson is referring to search for the YouTube video "The Thing transforms Norris")

[sampson7858]

@lawrenceofidaho haha cant believe somone understood what I was talking about

[Badlogic2]

God dam 80's movies.

Your killing yourself

You climbed this really hard wall, none of that shit matters now.

[fuzzyisawesome]

Hello carlos kool about the backwards reverse pullups but can u wrestle like

the kid in the flick

[fuzzyisawesome]

i'M NOT SURE WHAT ALL OF YOU ARE REFERRING TOO BUT I TOOK STATE

WHEN I WAS A SOPHOMORE AND NEVER LOOKED BACK AND THIS WAS A GREAT INSPIRATION FOR ME I REALLY LOVE THIS MOVIE

[CarlosToomer]

My name is Carlos Toomer. March 2003 I could do 100 Reverse pulls all at once without stopping to rest...I was 211 pounds....

[joeratti]

@CarlosToomer no one cares that your a juicer. and yes no-explode is the same as juicing it has the same effect on your body just a milder form

[CarlosToomer]

My name is Carlos Toomer. March 2003 I could do 100 Reverse pulls all at once without stopping to rest...I was 211 pounds....

[marathon1974]

Yeah, who's smarter. Louden Swain or Barack Obama?....yeah, thought so. :)

[lawrenceofidaho]

A lot of "internet heroes" are on here talking about climbing the pegboard when they are fresh or not cutting weight..... -So what if you can do it then?? (Big deal.) -The point in the movie was him showing his coach he was still retaining his health even though he was dropping a second weight class within a couple of months.

[Bigrobch505]

@lawrenceofidaho I tried that damn peg board over 20 times in high school, 2/3rds was the highest i got.

[BigMoInAZ]

someone should have told that coach a singlet was not his best suit! lol!

great movie, took me back to HS in the mid 70's!

[Burrito209]

this movie is the shit i love it fuck team sports like football pussy ass sport

[marathon1974]

Rudy has nothing on Louden Swain. That's right I said it!!!!!!

[marathon1974]

I will wrestle Barack Obama...any time...any place. This is my country motherfucker!

[CitySkin09]

"WRESTLING IS NOT A TEAM SPORT!! When you're on the mat with a somebody who's stronger and faster than you are, there's not a whole helluva lot a team can do for you!"

[squinn17]

"Even Otto can't do that."

[oliviab1337564]

LOL my step dad told me about one of his friends who tried to beat the record for the pegboard, and his friend climbed up and down the pegboard for the whole period until the coach made him eventually stop. He always chuckles during this scene.

[jimee11]

John Waite awsome. Vision Quest awsome. 80s rock.

[cooleebennett]

this is one of those parts in a movie that makes u feel just so good haha love the song to

[ftbll52]

vision quest is the greatest movie ever. jus wish there was more wrestling in it

[RatedATG]

That peg board is horrific. I can barely do 20 pull-ups let alone go threw a practice and,drop weight, and expect to climb a big ass board like that with 2 pegs...

[rickyalvarez1711]

What song is this???

[brian37671]

the song is called "change" by john waite. he had a hit with the song "missing you". he was also in the group 'the babys' and the group 'bad english'. bad english had a hit with the song "when i see you smile'.

[jimee11]

John Waite from The Babys.

[MOR1NGA]

Haha funny!

[aaron602]

hilarious how the coach is wearing a singlet

[TheEbhagzzz]

LMAO why does the coach wear a singlet??? My coach wears sweats and a T-Shirt.

[dylbub]

@TheEbhagzzz

I agree haha i never seen a dude wear a singlet over other clothes ether

[rumerboyz]

@TheEbhagzzz The coaches back in the day used to wear them, I guess so everyone had the same uniform.

[Jdub14000]

How you get down? lol! Jump?

[marathon1974]

kbb28, that's right I said it! You cock!

[marathon1974]

Hey "bb28" go fuck yourself on a peg board. Dickhead.

Awesome movie. Kick peoples asses like bb28. Fucking dumbass.

[LunaticFringe40]

My favorite all time movie.

This movie really gets me pumped up.

[marathon1974]

Even Otto can't do that. Classic.

[kidtehy]

love dis song it helps me ge motivated before i wrestle and great movie

[tsowdsun]

Great movie...awesome song.

[dogshitfarts]

I would laugh if the peg got stuck at the top then he fell and broke his leg

[12a34k56a]

a nice cold beer to end it hahaha!!

[kbb28]

wow the peg board....very challenging. i do that shit with out the pegs easily

[Scorpio8204]

this are supposed to be high schoolers... ya know before juicing and creatine and whey protein was a common occurance among competitive high school wrestlers.... ya DOUCHE!!!

[GlockPerfect]

You tellin' me that dude in the "Gold's Gym" tank top is an all-natural 18-year old? Not bloody likely...

[billyjoet99]

@Scorpio8204 How the heck are you going to put protein supplementing, or even creatine in the same sentence as juicing?

[joeratti]

@billyjoet99 because those products today have the same effects as juicing, they are just a milder form

[billyjoet99]

@joeratti Ingesting protein and creatine is NOT a "milder form" of using steroids. According to your argument, eating could also be considered to have the same effects as juicing in a "milder form" - synthesizing muscle and testosterone through dietary choices. I don't even know why I'm arguing this, your comment speaks for itself in its absurdity. Not saying you are personally absurd or stupid, but incredibly misinformed.

[joeratti]

@billyjoet99 all those words you probably cant pronounce on the back of protien suppliments are also in steroids

[billyjoet99]

@joeratti Lol, are you feeling insecure because you had to pick up a dictionary to look up some of the words in my reply?

[headbanger2013]

best scene

[rAz0rEdBaBe]

Go LOUDEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[romeodus]

I have this song on my workout CD. This is my favorite part of the movie, thank you for sharing this clip with us :)

[balless119]

thats a big freakin peg board.

[mfuji0001]

they should of played the whole song

[metzger263]

Hey, thanks to lawrenceofidaho for the answer!!!

[metzger263]

What´s the name of that song???

Cool Video

[lawrenceofidaho]

The song is "Change" by John Waite.

[alandlloyd]

'CHANGE' by john waite's band , cant remember the name of the band. ' the kids' maybe??

[GlockPerfect]

I get goosebumps during that scene when he's hauling ass across the bridge.

[rattlesnakes12345]

i can do that. i did it my first try lol

[lawrenceofidaho]

Nice job Rattlesnakes, -but have you ever tried it when you've been on a 1,000 calorie per day diet and in the middle of cutting two weight classes like Louden was?

[Zeniada]

@lawrenceofidaho correction, 600 calorie diet as said by louden in the movie. lol

[denzacjohnnick]

@lawrenceofidaho actaully it was a 600 calories a day diet i think

[ajax420336]

@lawrenceofidaho IDK about rattlesnakes, but I did that twice in high school. Really not that big a deal, I certainly didn't feel the need to make a fucking movie about it.

[MrFitzy2009]

@rattlesnakes12345 Bullshit, I'd bet money that no one has done it on their first ,second, or third try. Lawrencefidaho is right. Or try doing it after a 2 hr practice, which is when we had to do it, getting to the top was the easy part, it was coming down at a controlled rate that was the killer
