IT IS LIKE THIS RUSH.

WALKED OUT AND I SAID, I KNOW
WHAT THOSE PEOPLE IN THE
COMPETITION DID WAS INSANE, BUT

WERE DRIVING, WOW.

DIFFERENT ANGLE, TO SEE WHAT YOU

IDEA.
IDEA. WHEN I WAS THERE IN PERSON, THE
OBSTACLE COURSE IS LIKE THE
CRAZIEST THING THAT I’VE EVER
SEEN.
SEEN. IT IS LARGER THAN LIFE.
THEY HAVE THIS MONSTROSITY
CALLED THE LEVELLER, WHERE CARS
ARE DRIVING UP, TRYING TO

DO FOR THEIR LIVES ON THE SIDE.
