 Now you may notice other people are on the track and they are looking at me like I am that crazy Let's be fair, but they are laughing their butts off They saw me roll up with my jump stilts and they say what do you have planned today? You may remember me from such hits as Big Mac Mile where I ate it for Big Macs and ran a mile or the crock 400 but this is the kind of stuff that I like to make I call it fun with fitness, bro Right up my alley the exact kind of videos. I want to make I gotta connect with this guy I've already done it man All right, my friends, how are we what is going on and welcome back welcome back to another rugby player reacts video today? We're actually beginning. We're beginning today's session of reactions You could say with a guy Nick Simmons and I'm watching this video because Nick Simmons actually impresses me He impresses me as a youtuber. He's a next in it. Well, he's an ex-professional athlete ex-professional runner Who is basically just living his best life? He's going around creating content creating awesome content interactive content with his subscribers, you know around athletic events and Basically just having a whole lot of fun. It seems you know what I mean like there's obviously there's some hustle behind it Which I know all about But to see the finished product that he creates and puts out there, you know at a very regular pace I want to say, you know big ups to Nick Simmons. I want to say I cannot wait to watch this video In fact, every one of your videos that comes out. I want to watch but this one This one definitely Took my fancy and the reason is because from what I can see from the thumbnail Bionic man attempts more bionic man attempts one mile world record Now this guy his titles are Perfect, it's something fitness challenge versus subscribers, you know 1k run versus subscribers 400 meter race versus subscribers beat test or pace a test versus subscribers You know, he's he's got it down and I'll tell you what when I finally Once and for all land state side, I'm going to be making those videos too So if you are a subscriber of mine and I am doing my round trip And I do put the call out stay tuned guys because there's going to be opportunities for you to come down We're going to meet at you know, whatever track whatever field play backyard football You know have some races have some games Prizes make content you come down you come down to an event. You're definitely guaranteed to be on a video You know what I mean? I can't wait. It's all going to be good times and with that being said, let's get into it I've honestly got no time to lose It's 9 30 My sister and I are going to hit the gym together at 11 So look I've got one pot of coffee to get through. I'm going to be nice and amped up. Hopefully You never really know what's you never really know how the coffee is going to hit I have been looking forward to this video for a very long time. Like I said, Nick Simmons got a lot of time for you I love what you're doing with your channel I'm getting a lot of inspiration from it and I hope one day that when I get And I hope one day that you might see this video or I might see a few of yours We might connect up and bring both of our subscribers down to an event Maybe maybe maybe even a game of of my subscribers versus your subscribers How's that? It sounds pretty fucking that sounds pretty fucking fun to me. Anyways guys, let's go Yeah Oh my god, look at this So, yeah, I took a liking to this guy because he is he is a professional athlete, you know what I mean? And I guess a lot of the criticism behind me putting this You know putting this content out calling myself a rugby player Is the fact that I've never actually played professional rugby But I'm doing my absolute very best this year to to get that faith back in in the in the audience You know behind me that respects me as a rugby player So I am playing rugby again this year, but we're not talking about rugby. We're talking about running And that's what Nick Simmons is famous for if we read the description box I'm five foot ten tall and my personal best in the mile is three minutes and 56 seconds He broke the four minute mile that is incredible So I assume he's going to try and break a three minute and 56 second mile Using bionic legs that make me seven foot three You can get you can you can get a pair of these jump stilts here. Okay Okay, he's got an affiliate link. I see you I'm going to have to have a quick look at how fast and how far the strides are But I guess it doesn't matter what you're wearing if you in a running motion doesn't matter what Metal you've got strapped to your legs, but if you are in a running motion And you cover a 1600 meter distance in less than four minutes Well, that's incredible And if you get something like three minutes I think I can can he beat three minutes. That's the question Thank you for this one What's up guys nick here and I have a personal best in the mile of three minutes and 56 seconds But my goal wasn't to run 356 It was to run three minutes and 42 seconds Thus breaking he shum eldrugia's world record in the mile of 343 13 and giving me the title king of the mile But I never quite got there However, something inside this box may actually allow me to break that world record. Are you ready for this? This is just fun. This is just straight up fun adults toys Adults toys put it that way You know Jesus Oh, wow, it's like a double pogo stick I saw these videos on youtube of people with jump stilts doing crazy things Jumping 10 15 feet in the air. Look at these backflips. Look at this backflip. This is insane I just had to get my hands on a pair of one of these and see if they could help me run the world record in the mile That is the perfect thing to use it for the interesting see how stable he is. All right. I shouldn't scare this dude though Hold on. Oh my god Imagine that right guys. I know it's a reaction video But I'm gonna do at this very moment exactly what all of you guys would do I'm gonna skip to the interesting part I believe he's gonna get slower than his pb. What do you reckon? Let's see trick with these stilts. You have to be patient. You have to really come down on the spring Look at this guy. What an idiot Imagine if you went down to the park and you saw this guy running around Slow it down in that slow-mo shot. You can see when I stop and really load up that spring Now, this is a good time where I think we could talk about kind of the development of prosthetics You know, you think about a peg leg back in the 1800s Well, we've come a long way since then you look at some prosthetics today actual prosthetic Is in carbon fiber I'm talking about people doing things that we look. I don't know if it's just me, but I don't think he's breaking any world records And in fact prosthetic links have gotten so good that it's very controversial In the olympic games in world championships certainly in track and field, but in a lot of sports Do they provide too much of it? It was a pretty fast 400 though, wasn't it the quote-unquote blade runner with oscar pastorius In the 2012 olympic games, so in closing I'm just going to say that I find paralympic athletes and athletes using prosthetic limbs hugely hugely inspirational They inspire me every time I push my own limits, but I'll also say this I know that humans are incredibly good at engineering And if we haven't engineered a bionic limb, that's better than a human limb thus far It's going to happen in our lifetime and we have to have a plan This guy I'm curious about your guys's thoughts on this. Will you please let me know in the comments below? Is that two laps? Was that one and a half laps? A first lap? They are looking at me like I am that crazy Let's be fair But they are laughing their butts off. They saw me roll up with my jump stilts and they say what do you have planned today? You may remember me from such hits as big mac mile where I ate four big macs and ran a mile or the croc 400 But this is the kind of stuff that I like to make. I call it fun with fitness, bro Right up my alley the exact kind of videos. I want to make I'm going to connect with this guy I've already done it mate Oh, yeah, you would be man He's gonna fall over Harder I think he's gonna he's gonna stack it I fucking knew it. I knew that was coming. Oh, shit In 1864 times here, let's make sure we go back and look at that one more time in slow motion Again coming off the corner. I start really trying to stride out. I may be over stride I actually clip myself as I'm trying to bail. I redirect my momentum Face plant full corpse mode or on jump stilts. It's really hard to get back on how the hell is he gonna get back up? Who happens to be six eight comes over and what my busted ass off the track six eight Looks like a moonwalker I'm gonna tell you guys something That you may not know about me. I ran competitively for over 20 years And I never ever dnf to race dnf stands for did not finish if I stood on that starting line I finished the race no matter what It was something I was very proud of I don't believe in dnf and I'm not about to dnf here I'm lifting my knees reasonably well. It's almost like that little nap I took in the grass allowed me to get my energy back I'm bouncing well I have 600 meters to go. That's not that far. This is where I might even start winding up a kick if I was running a full mile regularly This is where you start to position yourself in a mile for that lethal last lap Striding down the back stretch. That's what's going through my mind But I kind of look at my back kick and it's not looking good And it's almost like I'm walking on stilts Just stay up my guy You won't be doing any backflips today, but you'll finish in a mile You can't help but laugh, can you? No, no, I'm I'm surprised about that. What happened? The dnf So tired I can't pick up my knees enough To load the spring and I keep falling. I caught myself here I got pretty good road rash here. I'm definitely bleeding there. I never I'm in 20 years Of running. I have never dnf to race in my life I'm dnfing that hurt, but Even though I didn't get the one mile world record. That is the one kilometer world record on jump stilts Still got it smash that subscribe button. See you guys next week for something. Hopefully less dumb than this Oh Look at this See look crazy 400 meter race first subscribers when it gets a hundred dollars cash I mean look at that thumbnail. Look at the title. It is just Well, it's clickbait, but it's not because that's exactly what happened And those are the titles and those are the thumbnails and those are the videos that I Am determined to bring to this channel before it's all said and done and so with that being said guys I'd say uh, definitely go and check out next channel. Um Possibly even recommend him to go and check out my channel and maybe even the video If not this one When I reacted to his Pacer test versus subscribers because that was a good one as a cracker. I love the attitude I love the positivity. I love the smiles. I love the up beatness. I love the physical activity. Love the fitness and With that being said guys, I hope you've enjoyed in the next one. We're going to be looking at another runner And it is the phenom matt brolling and if you don't know who he is like me Then you're about to So see you then peace out guys. Have a great day
