#123	Nate Cox December 7, 2008 at 9:50pm Yeah, DIII in California must be such a chiste if those guys managed to medal. I mean, their girls are faster than their boys. It must have been a weak year for the division. reply
#122	Ross Geiger June 9, 2008 at 11:46pm yeah, those guys must be really embarrased. I mean, if those guys ever have a shot at a state podium (title?) i might die from laughter, like actually reply
#121	Speedeed00dxc11 May 10, 2008 at 3:18am so wait, why are the girls running with the boys? Is the girl's team really good, or do the boys just suck? Usually programs arn't so lopsided like that. It would be embarrasing to be one of those guys, lol reply
#120	CoachJay_x May 2, 2008 at 10:33pm Man, Chuck! Every time I watch this I get pumped up for the upcoming xc season. Thanks for making this. reply

#111	GBLVR March 4, 2008 at 8:24pm Really well done! I really enjoyed it! I want to go on a camping trip with my team next summer! Great job! reply
#110	I Love Math March 2, 2008 at 12:35am Response To carlylejones: I just jotted down the totals for the top 7 videos every day, starting on 2/18. It wasn't at all scientific, I didn't do it at exactly the same time every day. Just for myself. I was responding to "vote counter", who also seems to like arithmetic. reply
#109	Chrissy_x March 1, 2008 at 12:45am Chuck, goog job... you should cut back the text description. it's so long for the first 6 days I was voting for the video above yours... didn't hurt though. reply
#108	George Johnson February 29, 2008 at 9:53pm math lover, where did you view those stats? reply
#107	wtfpillowshirt February 29, 2008 at 8:09pm Some of that music was really weird. Good video overall though. 5'd reply
#106	I Love Math February 29, 2008 at 7:36pm You should check votes changes for "The Comeback". Daily vote count change from 2/21 to 29 was: 86, 118, 62, 345, 400, 1185, 1599. reply
#105	Tracky February 29, 2008 at 10:05am Cheaters. reply
#104	Votecounter February 29, 2008 at 10:03am wow, this video averaged about 500 points a day for the last week yet got over 1,100 votes overnight between Thursday midnight and Friday morning the 29th. someone has been busy. Get them proxies going for the final push? reply
#103	Tracky February 29, 2008 at 7:25am Good Video but next time leave the girls out cause I just like to watch the boys run. reply
#102	Big Fan February 29, 2008 at 2:18am I really really hope you win, and I'm doing my best to make that happen ;) reply
#101	Cosmic Voter February 29, 2008 at 12:09am My vote just now took you over 11,000. Ironically, a prior vote of mine took you over 10,000. Cosmic baby!!! reply
#100	Brondello_x February 28, 2008 at 10:55pm Post #100!!1!!!!11!!!! WAHOO!!! reply
#99	BZ Mom February 28, 2008 at 6:01pm Chuck, great video. Good Luck and hope you make it to Beijing. reply
#98	East Coast Supporter... February 25, 2008 at 7:16pm This is a good video. To bad you guys are getting a bad reputation by other people from California making waves on other videos. Good job though. reply
#97	Jacob Garcia February 24, 2008 at 3:24am ya man you shood thank me I posted all kinds of bulitins on My space and got at least 70 points! Well its like midnight and I voted again... good luck and Im repin CPHS reply
#96	Gregg Thornton February 22, 2008 at 12:19am Worth watching more than once. It reminded me of Coach George Park and my motivation to start running 32 years ago. Go Cougs! reply
#95	Nattie_x February 20, 2008 at 9:40pm Very inspirational video. Captured the passion, the determination, the grit, the reasons one starts -- and continues -- to run. reply
#94	Ddzh February 20, 2008 at 5:24pm The film was great. If you get to go, can you take a henry? reply
#93	Sally McKay February 20, 2008 at 12:11am Coach Woolridge, I love your video! It's awesome! I hope you win the two tickets to Beijing. I was a competitive x-country/track runner and hope that at least one of my six kids wants to run at Campo! I think you've found a second talent in filmmaking. You should do one for track season, too! (p.s. Pattysue Plummer was a friend of mine when I was at Stanford) reply
#92	Peter_x February 14, 2008 at 9:52pm Congrats on a job well done Chuck. You never cease to amaze me and you never cease to continue to raise the bar for the rest of us NCS coaches and I appreciate that. Good luck with the contest, but win or lose this video is inspiring to athletes and coaches. The passion your kids showed in the video is in direct relation to the passion you put in on a daily basis. Hats off to you and your team - they are great kids, and great athletes! reply
#91	Mattwood_x February 12, 2008 at 6:47pm rep it campo XC .this is the shizz yeeeee yeeeeee reply
#90	Runnersmom February 12, 2008 at 11:02am excellent video. I came on here to watch another video and found this one. Will show this to my son who will be a freshman xc runner next year. What a great team you have! reply
#89	Jake_x February 9, 2008 at 1:48am this is the true feeling and high, that only us XC runners get,Collage Park. just do it. reply
#88	J_man_x February 9, 2008 at 1:16am This vid is GREAT!!!!!!!!! reply
#87	Eli Obando February 8, 2008 at 12:20am wow!! i really liked this video!!! =]] reply
#86	Zzzzz_x February 5, 2008 at 8:56pm kinda boring. reply
#85	Riki Giacchetti January 27, 2008 at 4:14pm I want to go to running camp... :( reply
#84	Nate Cox January 2, 2008 at 12:55am Hey, let's put a link on letsrun so the mud slinging and personal attacks can really begin! reply
#83	Elite Runner January 1, 2008 at 2:08pm Dear Dude, I am completely aware of what this contest is all about. One need look no further than to the left of this comment to see the point for this contest. It says: The Best uploaded running/track related video wins 2 tickets to see the '08 Beijing Games. I was simply stating reasons why I don't think this video is the best. I am very sorry that my simple criticism has had such a dramatic effect on you that you had to resort to personal attacks. I hope that in time you learn to take criticism better. You will find out that your life is full of it. reply
#82	Jared Wong December 31, 2007 at 5:52pm nice. Chuckles. nice. reply
#81	Dude December 31, 2007 at 2:06pm Dear Mr./Mrs. Elite Runner: One need look no further than your "name" to put your comments in the correct context. While the intentions of these kids, and the video, seem sincere and convey a respect for the sport, along with perhaps a nostalgia for those of us that enjoyed participation in high school cross country, your antagonism is pathetic. You miss the point of the contest and the the site. reply
#80	Elite Runner December 31, 2007 at 1:32pm Nothing really happens in this video. It is like a music video that just shows short clips of kids running together. The interviews seem a bit clich?It doesn't motivate me in anyway, except maybe to make a better video. reply
#79	Elderallen December 30, 2007 at 11:22pm This is some good stuff you've got here Chuckles. Some mighty sweet stuff indeed. reply
#78	D December 30, 2007 at 11:12pm long dragged out reply
#77	Michael Brondello December 27, 2007 at 10:06pm yes, the guys are really slow... reallllly slowwww reply
#76	Arthur Freitas December 26, 2007 at 4:07pm these guys are really slow or these chicks are really fast. idk? but they are lucky as hell the nicest trails ever to run in all those uphill and rock climbing seems so fun reply
#75	Andrew Peabody December 25, 2007 at 3:31pm very well put together reply
#74	Robb Van Wyck December 25, 2007 at 12:54am Nice angles on quite a few shots. reply
#73	Grow December 24, 2007 at 10:55pm This movie makes me want to run. And cry. Run and cry at the same time. I'm not sure why that naysayer below considers it a cliche, though. Maybe he's seen more low-budget hand-held inspirational cross country videos set in Humboldt featuring interviews with Campolindo High School students than I have. Nice work Cougar Coach! And kudos to you runners! I give you five stars! reply
#72	Nate Cox December 24, 2007 at 1:10am hey scotty! reply
#71	Chuck Woolridge December 22, 2007 at 10:32pm Thanks Scott. That would be pretty sweet. I wonder if Marc has plans to come up to Chico and check out what you guys are doing up there. I've heard some great things from Joey. The park you do a lot of the runs in sounds fantastic. Maybe some footage of some running on those trails? reply
#70	Scott Bauhs December 22, 2007 at 8:43pm this is scott btw reply
#69	Scott Bauhs December 22, 2007 at 8:42pm we need to get you to do a video for chico reply
#68	Erin_x December 21, 2007 at 11:41am The running up the dirt hill sequence was beautiful. Congratulations! reply
#67	Adam Boroian December 21, 2007 at 10:14am wow, I can honestly say that that's the most amazing running film I've ever seen! reply
#66	Neal_x December 21, 2007 at 9:18am I agree with nicje....so maybe you can make another one about what it takes to stomp at the Ed Sias Invitational...but outstanding job showing how much fun it can be to be a runner....and nice use of iMovie. reply
#65	Doug Landfear December 21, 2007 at 7:57am Nice work Chuck! Makes me want to be a high school runner. Beautiful scene going up the stairs. You captured the team's passion and camaraderie so well. reply
#64	GO CAMPO! December 20, 2007 at 5:40pm That so so good I wanna go out and run now reply
#63	Just Wait December 20, 2007 at 2:58pm Oh how nieve many flocasters are, this competition has only begun and many of you are saying it will win...Just you wait. reply
#62	Nicole Ehritt December 20, 2007 at 1:03pm This video should have been made about CPXC class of 04', but I suppose it is worthy of winning the trip. It makes me want to go running, so I guess it worked. reply
#61	Calvin Thigpen December 20, 2007 at 10:48am this video was really well done, i had to give it five stars. i hope joey's happy... but really, good job, and congratulations on a successful cross country season. reply
#60	Joshua Neyhart December 20, 2007 at 9:30am I am not really a huge fan of this video of whatever reason. i mean it's really well done and the message is great. but it's a little long and it's edited a little funny. reply
#59	Cougarcoach_x December 20, 2007 at 8:59am Are you kidding? Of course I asked athletes and friends to vote. It's a trip to Beiging. What fantasy world do you live in? And the kids in the video are excited to see it in the contest too. Some of them are asking friends to vote as well. I definitely appreciate the constructive feedback that some people have offered. The length isn't great for on line viewing for sure. I think the "kiddyish" response has a lot to do with the fact that it is a film about a high school team. I don't think any apology needs to be made for that. Let's see your film. reply
#58	Sin-ic December 20, 2007 at 2:28am I'll keep it short. This video feels a bit cliche'd and i'm not quite sure what all the hype is about. I mean come on, this almost feels like a SNL parody of some running shoe commercial or new age running product. Also, comments below feel kinda kiddyish, like this should be on dyestat or some other high school site. Finally, i hope this guy doesn't go soliciting his high school, people that don't even normally visit FLO, just to come on here and vote so that he can win the contest. Hope that wasn't too harsh, but it had to be said. Back to Flocast!! reply
#57	Brett Heimstead December 19, 2007 at 11:45pm not too shabby... gota little long though, if this is just camp i would hate to sit through the end of the year video. PS is it no possible to put more than 4 words on the screen at a time (just a joke, but the quotes were really strung out) reply
#56	Lindsay Allen December 19, 2007 at 11:21pm Chuck should get to go to Beijing... because he said he would take me with him!!!!!!! reply
#55	Ethan Kuefner December 19, 2007 at 8:24pm i think this movie is what singlehandedly got me through the season at points. reply
#54	Leighton Reuss December 19, 2007 at 3:31pm then i commend you and my appologies for seeming rude. it does look very good! reply
#53	Ellis_x December 19, 2007 at 9:24am good, but nothing compared to the Steeplechasers. reply
#52	Joey Kochlacs December 19, 2007 at 1:55am It was filmed in Bear Valley. reply
#51	Jollyjogger December 19, 2007 at 1:10am You said this is in the sierras...can you be more specific about the location? Its really nice, reminds me of my HS XC days when we went to Kings Canyon Natl Park and surrounding Mt. ranges. reply
#50	Glass December 18, 2007 at 11:00pm mmmmmmmm...airrrrrrr, nice reply
#49	J S December 18, 2007 at 10:53pm Edit,edit,edit great job. reply
#48	George_x December 18, 2007 at 10:51pm long but very good video... thank you reply
#47	Nate Cox December 18, 2007 at 10:01pm It's true. It took us an hour just to film the scene on the stairs. reply
#46	Cougarcoach_x December 18, 2007 at 9:57pm fiestacitykid- I'm not sure how one can prove something is not professional. I'm an English teacher. I work at Campolindo High School. I don't own a video camera. I have a mac pro with imovie. I really did spend three days locked in my room working on the movie. My housemate was ready to kill me after hearing the audio playback over and over and over while I was editing it. I'll take it as a compliment that you think this is the work of a professional. I really did put a lot into it. And there are 16 kids that can attest to having their coach annoy them with, "OK, just run down the trail one more time" so he could get the shot just right. reply
#45	Dominic Vogl December 18, 2007 at 9:26pm cougarcoach, is any of this off of hwy 4? reply
#44	Leighton Reuss December 18, 2007 at 9:25pm if you expect me to believe you filmed this with a borrowed camera from one of your kids you must think i'm an idiot... this looks soooo professional haha. i highly doubt you used imovie to make it either... not grassroots in the least! i'm so sick of these professionally made videos of rich high school kids in cali! reply
#43	Leighton Reuss December 18, 2007 at 9:25pm if you expect me to believe you filmed this with a borrowed camera from one of your kids you must think i'm an idiot... this looks soooo professional haha. i highly doubt you used imovie to make it either... not grassroots in the least! i'm so sick of these professionally made videos of rich high school kids in cali! reply
#42	Robert Pulford December 18, 2007 at 9:10pm Ross "Cause your like blending in with nature" you godamn hippie. reply
#41	Michael Brondello December 18, 2007 at 8:53pm wait wait.... so y R the gurlz up wit all da Boyz?? dat jus dont makes no senses!!! THEY mus be FAST!!! DAMNNN reply
#40	Phil_x December 18, 2007 at 7:31pm the best video so far...but still a little boring. what is up the the guys running with the girls...either good girls or bad guys...maybe a bit of both reply
#39	Nate Cox December 18, 2007 at 6:04pm hey, what and asd, read the comments before you ask dumb questions reply
#38	Cmon December 18, 2007 at 5:44pm when does this thing end reply
#37	What December 18, 2007 at 5:41pm why do their guys run slower than some of the girls reply
#36	Chuck Woolridge December 18, 2007 at 4:27pm Like I suggested below, the run footage was done more for style than as an accurate display of various athlete's abilites. These were not the actual runs the kids did, but dramatizations on and around the terrain we encountered during our week at the camp. It's supposed to be fun! Although our girls are "ballers" as HD would say, our boys are pretty darn good too, winning the NCS title and placing in the top 10 at the California state meet. reply
#35	Asd December 18, 2007 at 4:10pm their girls team is prolly way better our gurls cant even keep up with us n they are state champs reply
#34	Joey Kochlacs December 18, 2007 at 3:51pm You really like Prodigy, dont you Chuck? I am working on getting all the Chico peeps to vote, and the NCSers. Also, who would you take to Beijing if you were to win ;) -Joey reply
#33	Erik Dube December 18, 2007 at 2:38pm Hey Chuck, glad to see you put it up. This rocks!! reply
#32	The Professor December 18, 2007 at 2:18pm pretty sweet reply
#31	Chuck Woolridge December 18, 2007 at 1:17pm Oh geez Mark! I'm sitting there watching the title banner on the Flotrack home page scroll through the various pictures, which, by the way, is an awesome feature, and then I see you've put the movie on it!!! Darn it! I was hoping it would be the dark horse, or the high school cult favorite... but now that's all over! Seriously though, thanks for the exposure. We had a Saucony rep ask to take it back East to show their PR department, but we never heard back from them. And thanks to everyone for the positive comments and the votes! reply
#30	William Faoro December 18, 2007 at 11:54am Excellent! This video, and this forum, will grow high school running. reply
#29	Hillary Tomas December 18, 2007 at 10:42am THIS IS CAMPO! epic summer epic team epic SEASON campo xc 207 reply

#21	Emily Black December 17, 2007 at 9:43pm The only thing that could possibly make this film better is if you would reach through the screen and grab a Wonka Bar!!! reply
#20	Ross Geiger December 17, 2007 at 9:35pm This makes me want to transfer to Campolindo... reply
#19	Chuck_x December 17, 2007 at 9:11pm We dont have places like that in the Chicago area :( Must be nice to run in places like that. reply
#18	Laurie Finnegan December 17, 2007 at 9:08pm man, i'm gonna cry. season goals? about those...oh well. it turned out okay in the end! mmm yummy ice cream... reply
#17	Tim Baffi December 17, 2007 at 8:58pm quite inspiring... reply

#15	Alicia Salmeron December 17, 2007 at 8:56pm i liked seeing the video right before the season because it was inspiring... reply
#14	Jared Wong December 17, 2007 at 8:55pm The only thing that could possibly make this film better is if you could reach through the screen and grab a Wonka Bar. mmm chocolate reply

#9	Vicki Prowznik December 17, 2007 at 1:07pm Very nice video reply
#8	Deanna Rauch December 17, 2007 at 1:04pm GREAT VIDEO!! reply
#7	Carol Ries December 17, 2007 at 11:39am I rate this video a 5. reply
#6	Chuck Woolridge December 17, 2007 at 10:53am We wanted the running scenes to be fun, rather than competitive. Most of the footage was shot before and after the actual runs the kids did. However, for the record, both teams won section titles. Thanks for the feedback. Keep it coming, as I'm thinking about doing a film focused more on track. reply
#5	RUN>>_x December 17, 2007 at 10:39am Pretty good production, and could be the winner. Except, why are the girsl staying up with the guys ??? are the girls that good or the boys that bad?? reply
#4	Dvogl December 17, 2007 at 9:46am that hill scene at about 9:30 totally reminds me of harriers. very well editted. "harriers" for the new generation. reply

i am a runner

December 17, 2007
Each summer our varsity cross country athletes spend four days at a cabin in the Sierras. It is a chance for the kids to set goals, bond, and run on beautiful trails. I wanted to put together a film that would capture the spirit of high school running, and focus on the competitive anticipation that drives successful prep athletes. The interviews with the athletes were a last minute idea we did as the kids were cleaning up the cabin and packing the vans for the return trip. They ended up being the anchor points of the film. Thanks to Flocasts for the opportunity to get this out there for more folks to see. And thanks for everything you guys are doing to promote the sport.
