The G-Rant : Grant's Rants on Adventure Racing

“Without adventure, civilization is in full decay.” - Alfred North Whitehead

Adventure Race Video

Rob found some fun adventure racing videos from the 2006 Patagonia race:
  1. Race video 1
  2. Race video 2 (check out the hellish portage if you think some portages I've thrown into a course are bad)
  3. Race video 3
There are more on YouTube, and I should call out this one in particular from 2005 since it's got the pumpin' Chemical Brothers soundtrack.  Do you think it's a copyright violation to sneak some Prodigy into our theme music for the soon-to-be-unleashed Untamed Adventure Radio?

It must be a YouTube renaissance since I was just sent another video link, this one from the Pride of Lemmings in Northern VA: Untamed Virginia Adventure Race video from the Lemmings.  They were very courteous and asked permission to pull snippets from the official race video; I presume they did the same with Will Ramos and the photos.  I guess, following their lead, I should really ask the Prodigy before using their music.  Can anybody get me a phone number for this guy  . . .

I'd have to say that looks pretty hard but it doesn't look too long. PIKE may have one up'd that portage with a 3mile beach portage.  Then again, no one has seen the Untamed 08 portages.

I've heard that you got a European haircut, is it anything like this guys? I can see it now, "a little red here and a little red there. While your at it can you add a nose ring too?" LOL

You know Eric, you didn't HAVE to take that little stroll up the beach.  Several teams paddled that section.

I wonder why techno/industrial and AR go so well together.  Maybe we should extend an invitation to your man Keith Flint to see if he would like to do an Untamed event.  Think of how cool it would be to be "Team Prodigy"......you'd have your own theme song and everything.....

Some good video there.  Thanks for keeping me busy on a quiet night at work.
Patagonia looks fairly insane!!!  But worth the trip...

Team Prodigy -- that would be outstanding.  They'd be like the team I've seen racing with a waterproof mp3 player blasting away in the wilderness, but with crazier clothes.  We've offered Floyd Landis and Lance Armstrong free races, why not Prodigy?

Bill -- what happened to you all going down to the Patagonia race?  Vamos a chile!

I'd love to do the Patagonia race but leaving Wendy and Will for 10+ days would be too hard. May be in a few years. I'd love to do the Southern Traverse, too.

Bit of trivia: I named the Tidewater Traverse in honour of the Southern Traverse.  Really.

I've been told the Southern Traverse is very tough, more than it looks on paper, and the organization behind it can be . . . ummm . . . well, let's talk offline Eric.
