    This was cool and all, but don't tell me there can't be consistent neat layer of grease applied between attempts. This looked like a mess, and some people had a thick layer, while others had a very clear path for half the log. Completely defeating a lot of the runs.

    Unfair conditions for each player.. After each contestant tried,the grease quantity decreased and it made easy for next contestants to reach further more without trouble. So.. Running few distance is not challenging at the beginning of pole as the grease is not even on pole. I appreciate the first qualifier as he ran on atleast half greased pole... Rest are just ran on pole.. If u read this please think about it... I'm just sharing my idea positively 😁. Have a nice day.

    I feel a record for the slowest greasy pole cross would be a bigger achievment. Going Fast is really Based on momentum and pace to avoid slipage

    Why i was imagining that someone will fall splitting his legs and the pole in between

    A lot of people saying the grease wore away as time went on. This is true but I do believe the grease does NOT need to be in a giant pile to be slippery as hell. At 01:11 we can see the grease is not nearly as thick as it was initially but there's still no way you wouldn't slip just as much, I think. The pole is still completely covered, it's just not piled up. I think maybe it's easier when the grease is piled up.... like the difference between walking on snow or ice. It's easier to walk on snow than ice.

    I can't believe the first person to cross it had the most chaotic technique of them all

    Like watching America's funniest videos! I notice that all the finishers ran with their feet perpendicular to the pole, which was smart

    I tried to set a WR record once. After several hours I managed to create a single apple peal about NINETEEN FEET long. only missed it by about 100 ft.

    After few attempts when the first one succeeded , everyone knows that they need to be side -on ,if they want to compete and complete it.

    This is easy ...Sri Lanka we have a Grease Vertical Pole Climb...Tradional Sport here Especially Sinhala New Year Time. Going Verticle is Difficult than Horizontal...and those poor guys has no gears likd these athletes.

    Doesn’t really seem fair that like 10 of them knocked off half the grease by the time someone got across but still pretty dope

    There was not more grease while 1st qualifier's was walking over the grease
    Therfore, 2nd qualifier was the real legend 🙌
