    Killington from last fall is online, so I bet they'll put the others online as they air them.

    And speaking of TV, Steve Austin's Broken Skull Challenge is online. My friend Brandon was on last night: http://www.cmt.com/videos/steve-austins-broken-skull-challenge-103-beards-and-brawn/1729275/full-episode.jhtml

    I was a little disappointed in the show... the reality show background stories annoy me. They also skipped a lot of the obstacles and watching the super elites fly through the course made it look not nearly as hard. Especially the barbed wire crawl, I've seen so many people get broken down in there.

    I would have liked if they focused more on the other groups of racers they showed. Especially the cop with the prosthetic leg those people who battle every inch of that mountain are a better story!

    Watch next episode from PA. Almost the whole thing will be focused on a few of my friends. Two have prosthetics, and one races on crutches. The camera crew followed our team all day. I think there will be a lot less focus on elites next episode, especially since the same elites were in PA.

    I watched it again last night on the DVR with my boys. With FF through commericals and BS background stories the show was over in 20 minutes. LOL

    Ill check out the next episode the next day for sure
