I dropped by the Berserkr Games over the weekend. These "games" are a military-style obstacle course covering 2.7 miles per lap. A participant signs up for one to four laps. There are about 50 obstacles ranging from mud pits--one is 400 yards long--to climbing walls, etc. There are several of these games around the U.S., but this is the only one that has a helicopter drop and swim as the first obstacle. The entire run over a plowed course, adding to the adversity. Since it was Halloween, many of the participants wore costumes. C&C always.

Re: Berserkr Games (image heavy)
Cool set of shots Dean. Yes nice tutu in 5.
I'd be a bit worried about safety issues with the helicopter drop. Think of the paperwork if something went wrong !

Re: Berserkr Games (image heavy)
That must be the most fun thing ever to be in! Those are the kind of things I would had enjoyed participating if I am young-er...sadly, old bones, or tinted white hairs do not mix very well with strenuous activities anymore.
Yes, the tutu guy is very funny...I love that.

Re: Berserkr Games (image heavy)
The light appears to have been rather poor which has reduced your options, so these images have come you very well.

Re: Berserkr Games (image heavy)
Thanks to all for viewing and commenting.
Dave, I appreciate your edit to add the numbers.
Geoff, the light was worse than "rather poor"--there was a heavy overcast that did not clear until late afternoon.

Re: Berserkr Games (image heavy)
Looks like a whole lot of fun, and skillfully captured. In Aus I think the pilot of the R44 would be invited to a "please explain why your license shouldn't be revoked" interview.
CASA is no fun at all over here.
