The Kinetic Grand Championship
Although we just found out California's Kinetic Grand Championship is officially canceled for 2021, you can still hear all about this amazing race, lovingly called THE TRIATHLON OF THE ART WORLD. This is a crazy 50-mile race of Kinetic Sculptures with all-terrain human-powered art vehicles, engineered to race over road, water, mud, and sand. It’s for real and it's nuts! You can learn more about the race, plans for a virtual 2021 event, and get excited about 2022 here.

My New Favorite!
This is truly a great podcast about community, fun, and unique individuals all competiting in amazing events. The host's are warm and hilarious, and you can feel the sincere interest they have with each competition. My biggest take away is that you can compete, have fun, and support your competitor all at the same time. We need more of this all around!
