I'm glad to see Mark get his due. Before he came along, there wasn't a lot of focus in the program. He really stepped up and clarified things. His understanding of endurance and eating for endurance is a toolbox I like to steal from...

Ooops @fitter, here's 61"Standing in front of a huge stack of tractor tires, Moody faces an obstacle that’s chest-high (56" high) and the only thing separating him from a world record.

Nice article about Ryan Moody written by...um...Ryan Moody.
Qualifications for a World Record
1. It's the best attempt in @F that you're aware of.
2. You filmed it.
3. You were the first to claim it in the @FJ.
Douchiness aside, that's a hell of a nice jump.

Looks like you'll need to jump 8 feet. Or almost 7 if you're a woman.
Oh.
What?
They redefined it and are laying claim to a 'new' sort of record?
Huh.
Interesting.

What use to have the title of "Wild Gorilla Man!" along with a link to our resident primate not only went into the Pukie Bucket soon after, but a few days later was re-titled to "Worthless Goofy Dope!"
Although I would say the change to the subject title couldn't be more wrong since more affiliates now purposely post up pics and then rush to the new blog. I don't think worthless, I think lucrative.
Hey WGM! Did you spot any Team Gorilla shirts worn yet?

Some people have no sense of humor at all.
All that bile, and yet, when the site was titled Crossfit WildGorillaMan not only was there no Cease&Desist letter, there wasn't so much as a threatening or even mildly snotty email. Way to be passive-aggressive HQ!
I don't think anybody who has a WGM shirt attended the games. I have been sent some great pictures though.

So I posted the link on the TEAM GORILLA FB page
One of my fans makes an excellent point, that more Crossfitters know who The Gorilla is than know who Lynn Pitts is.

Thank you all for the support.
I have received my plaque from the WORLD RECORDS ACADEMY recently. And Guinness is in their final stages of approval, just verifying all the video rights from High 5 Productions.

Coach Glassman,
Please stop saying the word "fuck" in your videos. I like to use your videos for instruction to my clients. My clients are kids under the age of nine and I cannot use your videos if there is profanity being used. I am sure there is a better way for you to put emotion into your speech.
Thank you,
Brady Mattingly
