Funny Film: Crusher Timmy O’Neill Learns to Ultra-Run

Ultra-running Legend Scott Jurek takes pro climber Timmy O’Neill under his wing to teach him the finer points of the long distance suffer fest.

“This was shot by bad ass surf cinematog Jeff Soens and when Timmy approached me asking if I could edit for him,” said filmmaker Cedar Wright. “Upon reviewing the footage I realized that this was a work of art and genius.”

Need a Laugh? What does it take to be an ULTRARUNNER? @scottjurek takes @timmyoneill under his wing to mold him in to the best ULTRARUNNER the world has ever seen…. if you consider one mile with a brief unconscious spell…an Ultra! Link in Profile! This was shot about 10 years ago by bad ass surf photog, cinematog @scottsoens…, and Timmy came to me asking if I could edit this footage. I knew as soon as I previewed the raw footage that this was something special. Timmy is one of the great de-mentors I’ve been lucky enough to have in my life… and is the single most hilarious friend I have. From my public speaking style to my inappropriate sense of humor, Timmy has been a huge influence. ?? ? ?
