I believe that there is a lot that comes with obstacle event racing but how many factors play into it, realistically? Of course, you have the physical impacts and benefits that it can have, both of which can be altered depending on the risk that is involved. However, I will go on record by saying that it is fun to watch. Television used to showcase this quite regularly but now I'm starting to wonder if we will be able to see it in great amounts if we were to tune into a channel today.
One of the reasons why I was so attracted to these kinds of shows from the start was that they featured actions I didn't think I was capable of. I saw the various contestants go about these kinds of actions in their own ways and I didn't believe that, as a kid, I would be physically apt. Regardless, I grew up and I started to wonder what would have happened if I was born a little bit earlier. With the shows being cancelled, it's unfortunate since I thought that they were engaging in their own rights.
If you were a child of the 90's - like I was - shows featuring obstacle event racing were very much the norm. If you know anything about shows like "Guts" or "Legends of the Hidden Temple," then I am sure you are very much aware of how great they were in their time. How many of you wanted to compete in them, regardless of your physical capabilities? With every show like this that was meant for kids, events such as Spartan Race can show the ones tailored to an older demographic, too.
For those who tuned into Spike TV during 2003 and a few years after, maybe you were aware of "MXC," which was a great show in its own right. All of the footage imported from Japan, it was the kind of program that took the idea of "Guts" and added far more realism to it in terms of the hits taken. It seemed like the contestants were going through nearly impossible obstacles and oftentimes fell on their faces. Sometimes it made you laugh, other times it made you cringe.
Shows which feature high amounts of obstacle event racing are some of my favorites and I think that kids today should be able to enjoy them, if they returned. They would be able to see just how much risk goes into these competitions and the rewards which can be attained as well. I believe that the level of training will come into play when talking about the races in question. If TV decided to air more of these shows to a new audience, I don't think that many limits will be seen.
