The Bad Ass Academy.. Who we are and what we are about. We believe that hard work pays off in the end. We believe that people have to push themselves to really find out their potential. We believe getting out there and pushing your limits makes you stronger We believe that working out just isn’t about lifting weights. We believe quitting is not an option We believe in teamwork We believe that your body can take much more punishment then you think And that you will come back stronger We believe that even though it might hurt a little, its going to be fun. Bad Asses are a bunch of people who love to get out and do something…anything. Some run, bike, hike, trail run, kayak, and rock climb they are happy as long as they are moving. They get out there everyday and do it, rain or shine, in the heat or the cold they are out there. They do it because they love it; they do it because it feels good. The Bad Ass Academy brings it to the next level. Throughout the year we have several events that will help you push yourself. Each event is a unique challenge. Unless you have been to one of our events you really can’t understand, you’ve never seen anything like it. Our goal is to have people come out, compete, have some fun, and leave with a smile. So far we have had a 6hr Mountain bike endurance race and a 6hr endurance trail run. Each of these events had challenges within them, making it more than your average ride or run. I watched as one girl rode her bike up to one of our challenges. It was a teeter totter, she originally planned to dismount and walk past it, but something changed her mind. She backed up, concentrated for a minute, took a deep breath… then headed straight for it!!! Going up she looked a little nervous, but as it started to come down she had the biggest smile on her face, it lasted for the rest of the day. I also watched a guy attempt the larger teeter totter at full speed, as he got to its peak he started going off the side, next thing you knew he was on the ground landing pretty much on his back. Everyone ran over to him to see if he was ok. He just bounced up with a huge smile and said “that was awesome”, got back on his bike and rode away. One guy finished a lap with 20 minutes left in the race; he was exhausted and could barely move. He could have stayed and relaxed for the last few minutes but he was here to race, and went back out to do another lap. The stories are endless. But they all end the same way. Bad asses have heart, determination, and a desire to excel. We are different from the average person. So check out our list of events on http://Badassacademy.com. Come race, suffer a little and have fun. I know you will leave with a smile on your face!!! Our next event is The Bay Ridge Bad Ass Challenge on June 25th!!! It’s a two person 5k race, with plenty of obstacles to slow you down, come check it out.!!!!!
