To make two documentaries about athletes that I've never heard of, participating in a sport that I never knew existed prior, and to make me care about them, is incredible craftsmanship in writing. Well done.
-
Lindsey Jacobellis' reveal as the 11th hour hero was spectacular. Despite no prior attachment to any of these athletes, somehow this video brought me to tears. Excellent work!
-
THIS is the greatest sequel I never saw coming
-
I've never been terribly interested in snowboarding generally. I'd never heard of Lindsey Jacobellis before your video about her, it moved me to tears. I'd never heard of Nick Baumgartner before this video, it moved me to tears. And the way the two came together at the end was incredibly cathartic. Your storytelling is something else, dude. I was riveted this entire video.
-
No spoilers but seeing that person appear towards the end was an incredible surprise. Good shit flame
-
Get it twisted. We're back with a snowboarding tale for the ages.
-
The Jacobellis cross over wasn't expecting that! Bringing the two plots together that was awesome.
-
The multiverse reveal had me bawling.
-
The most criminally underrated channel, we must skew the algorithm
-
Incredible work. It felt like a sequel to Lindsey Jacobellis' video, and then for her to come in at the end was awesome. I've been a snowboarder my whole life, and I've got big dreams too. Not to go to the olympics, but rather I dream of being an actor. Truly an inspiring story, thanks for what you do.

jacobellis woah was not expecting that
-
bringing in lindsey jacobellis was the most hype thing you could have done. awesome storytelling!
-
Outstanding work, I was not expecting that little twist near the end. You are a fantastic storyteller, thank you for making these videos
-
Alternate Title, “The YouTube video that changed EVERYTHING” I mean change for YOU. Your talent in storytelling and narrative style is going to have your channel blowing up, with a MASSIVE amount of new subs in the near future.

I see Flameislucky video, I click
-
We're blessed to have another Flame video this quickly
-
I love how good you are at the comeback fake-outs. The pyeongchang freeze makes us think that "the impossible is possible", but it turns out sometimes it really isn't, and the hero doesn't always win
-
Quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. Always captivating story telling!
-
Wow, I couldn't have imagined Lindsey Jacobellis coming back for a little cameo. That was an absolute shocker that gave me chills.
-
It makes me want to cry to ponder why this amazing documentary don't have more views! This deserves so much more attention. Please don't get bummed down FlameIsLucky. Keep em coming!
