Aside from letting you guys know about the Tough Mudder event, I'm trying to see if there's anyone going to any of the many events that are held around the world.
It would be a great time to do this event, as well as meet up with some fellow LP`ers along the way and team up for this event, since some of the courses require help from other people.
I've been talking to some friends, and we got a 5 person group so far that will enter the Diablo Grande event in Northern California. Taho filled up too fast.

About
Tough Mudder events are hardcore 10-12 mile obstacle courses designed by British Special Forces to test your all around strength, stamina, mental grit, and camaraderie. As the leading company in the booming obstacle course industry, Tough Mudder has already challenged half a million inspiring participants worldwide and raised more than $2 million dollars for the Wounded Warrior Project. But Tough Mudder is more than an event, it’s a way of thinking. By running a Tough Mudder challenge, you’ll unlock a true sense of accomplishment, have a great time, and discover a camaraderie with your fellow participants that’s experienced all too rarely these days.
FACT #1 – Marathon running is boring
And the only thing more boring than doing a marathon is watching a marathon. Road-running may give you a healthy set of lungs, but will leave you with as much upper body strength as Keira Knightley. At Tough Mudder, we want to test your all-around mettle, not just your ability to run in a straight line, on your own, for hours on end, getting bored out of your mind. Our obstacle courses are designed by British Special Forces to test you in every way and are meant only for truly exceptional all-around people, not for people who have enough time and money to train their knees to run 26 miles.
FACT #2 – Mudders do not take themselves too seriously
Triathlons, marathons, and other lame-ass mud runs are more stressful than fun. Not Tough Mudder. As hardcore as our courses are, we meet you at the finish line with a beer, a laugh, and a rockin’ live band. It’s pretty hard to take yourself seriously when you’re covered in mud and have just finished an obstacle called ‘Just The Tip’, so please don’t show up at a Tough Mudder without a sense of humor. Just check out the ridiculous team costumes in our event photos to get a feel for the spirit of Tough Mudder.
FACT #3 – You cannot complete a Tough Mudder course alone
To get through mud, fire, ice-water, and 10,000 volts of electricity you’ll need teammates to pick you up when your spirits dip. To get over 12 foot walls and through underground mud tunnels, you’ll need teammates to give you a boost and a push. Tough Mudders are team players who make sure no one gets left behind. To that end, all Mudders are expected to uphold our ideals and exhibit teamwork and camaraderie both on the course and off it. All participants are asked to join us in reciting the Tough Mudder pledge before starting each event.
"In the most brutal and often most misunderstood sport in the world, becoming a champion takes more than just blood, sweat, and tears. Like Water follows middleweight Ultimate Fighter Anderson Silva as he prepares to crown his four-year run as the unbeaten king of the sport with a record 12th straight win in the UFC. With intimate access to Silva and his intense training, the surprising and inspiring man behind one of the greatest mixed martial artists of all time emerges."

I watched it directly from espn page, good quality and no lags, let me see if i can find a link... http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=7124904
indeed very sad :/
This 20 minute video on Razor Ramon aired recently. The first 2 minutes of video one has some lag spikes, but it smooths out after 5 minutes or so. It's a good watch, but very sad.
Initially launched in 2008, XARM features two competitors tethered to the XARM table and bound together at the hand with duct tape. Over the course of three one-minute rounds, competitors are free to punch, kick and seek submission holds while also using traditional arm-wrestling as a means of scoring points. Just like MMA, XARM bouts can be won via knockout, submission or judges' decision.
Art Davie, co-founder of the UFC, serves as the CEO of XARM.
Since I have no life at the moment, I'm on the internet a lot and always run into kewl videos and other various things.
The videos range from documentaries, combat sports, interviews, and much more.
I'll continue to save all the videos in the tab section of my browser and release them when it gets too full.
I could probably just post them in the YouTube/Video thread, but I rather contribute to both places on and off.
- Marathon des Sables, an 156 mile "ultramarathon". This multi-day race is held every year in southern Moroccan, in the Sahara desert. It is considered the toughest foot race on Earth. (Think of the movie Hidalgo, starring Viggo Mortensen, but it takes place on foot instead of horses. Pretty awesome event that I want to try someday.)

9) Nick fights to finish, not win on points
