The Badwater 135 Film Is Live 🎬
|
Hi everyone, Jeff Pelletier's Badwater 135 film is live on YouTube. He put a ton of effort into this video and I'm very excited to share this. 135 miles through Death Valley. The hottest place on Earth, at the hottest time of year. I joined Jeff's crew, paced him through some of the hardest miles I've ever witnessed, and we documented the whole thing from start to finish.
