The American Hotshots Extreme Run staff are big fans of Tough Mudder™, and we’ve attended many different obstacle runs. The big two…Tough Mudder™ and Spartan Race™ – are the undisputed industry leaders. Our mission is to provide obstacles similar in quality and magnitude, with a few unique twists of our own.

For starters…the 10,000 acre ranch where our event will be held, in the heart of Santa Barbara County’s wine country, will be hard for anybody to compete with. Our signature course will also be designed and built over a 6 month period, giving us unmatched quality control.

On This Day in Pink History… 8th May 2009, Bad Influence was released

Bad Influence was the fourth single to be released from Pink’s fifth studio album, Funhouse. It was released in Australia on 8th May 2009, and in 2010 in Europe.

Bad Influence was written by Pink, with Billy Mann, Butch Walker, Robin Mortensen Lynch and Niklas Olovson, while production was handled by Machopsycho and Billy Mann. It is a straight up rock chick party song that makes no apologies for wilding out with your gal pals once in a while. Pink stated: “I’m with the Hindus on that one,” the singer laughs. “Pleasure for pleasure’s sake is not a guilty sin.”

The song was chosen as the album’s fourth single following its use in an Optus advertisement, promoting her Funhouse Tour. The track was also played frequently on Channel Pink on Channel V Australia, as well as becoming the theme for the Volkswagen Polo commercials in Europe.

Bad Influence was the opening track on the setlist for the 2009 Funhouse Tour

The song was the most added song to the radio in Australia in its first week of release. On the ARIA Singles Chart, the song peaked at number 6, and has been certified Gold, selling over 35,000 copies. On the Australian Airplay Chart, the song became Pink’s 4th consecutive #1 song on the chart, and 4th from the album. In New Zealand, “Bad Influence” debuted at number thirty three in May, 2009, rising to number twenty seven later. It has so far peaked at number twelve. It entered the UK charts at #161 in October 2009 because of the advert, peaked at #123. Bad Influence entered the German Singles Chart at #26 in April 2010.

P!nk ain’t got no time for the haters.

Last week, pop star and all-around badass Alecia Moore (a.k.a. P!nk) shut down weight-shaming bullies on Twitter like a boss. After seeing some mean comments about her weight after an outing in Beverly Hills, the 35-year-old tweeted a perfect response:

From proposing to her husband to always being considered “butch,” P!nk has repeatedly broken down gender norms throughout her 15-year career. The singer/songwriter is no stranger to controversy after some rocky teenage years as child of divorce and a semi-volatile relationship with her husband Carey Hart. She’s repeatedly spoken out about gay rights, women’s rights and the power of being yourself.

P!nk is a fierce, strong and fiery woman who has paved her own path since day one of her celebrity status. She’s never apologized for being different and she’s definitely not about to start now. Here are nine P!nk quotes that prove every woman should be able to define who she is and where she’s going.

On This Day in Pink History 16th April 2006, Pink was on the set of the Who Knew music video

The Who Knew video was directed by Dragon, a team comprising Sam Bayer, Robert Hales and Brian Lazzaro. It was filmed in April 2006 in Los Angeles, United States, and it was released to the internet and to UK music channels in early May 2006. The video reached number one on MTV Germany’s top ten and on TRL Italy. “Who Knew” was voted number one on TRL Germany twenty times, allowing Pink to earn the “Golden Tape”. In the U.S.

It features a young couple visiting a fairground and going on the rides, and at one point the boy puts a necklace on the girl. The video flashes back to the boy secretly injecting himself with drugs on a previous night while the girl is sleeping. At the carnival, when the girl is playing a game, the boy walks away. The girl realizes he’s gone and follows him, but when she tries to get him to stay with her he gets violent. He goes to the back of the fairground to inject himself with drugs and breaks into a sweat. His girlfriend wanders around looking for him, and finds him unconscious; he has overdosed. She gives him a kiss, gives back the necklace and phones for an ambulance; after it has arrived, she walks away crying. The video is inter-cut with shots of Pink singing the song at the entrance to the fairground.
