A raider team is not like any other regular group of athletes. They don't just work on a singular area of exercise but multiple. For 3 months they dedicate themselves to working extremely hard to accomplish many wins and better themselves as athletes. Raiders must eat well, sleep well, and take care of their bodies. To be a raider is to challenge yourself mentally and physically for your team and yourself. A raider team becomes a family and throughout the season many bonds are formed.
Tire Flip
A set of 8 females or 10 males will divide in half. One group will flip the tire to the other group. This event usually lasts at most 4 minutes. Sometimes all of them will have to individually flip the tire to a certain point and back.

Rope Bridge
Rope Bridge is the quickest event out of all. This event lasts about a minute and a half. Six females or eight males will cross a rope while two others help set up the rope and tear it down at the end. Rope Bridge requires speed and precision. The rope will wrap around two light poles or two trees.
