Chase Cootware reaches out for his teammate's hand as the team works together to cross a steep and slippery trench.

Gabriel Chaves Lima pulls himself across, suspended on a rope in an event called One-rope bridge, where the team had to secure a rope between two poles and get each team member across from start to finish as quickly as possible.

Mario Mendoza muscles his way underneath the edge of a giant tire, lifting with his legs in an explosive burst before flipping the tire with a powerful push. The tire flips are only one component of a relay style race known as the Beast Events.

Ian Daniel and Chance Burton use every ounce of strength their bodies can produce to help the other members of their team pull an army humvee.
