With Jay Lim from Pretty Huge Obstacles, formally Obstacle Sports Factory
I had the opportunity to film a World OCR affiliated event in Filinvest City Alabang, Philippines a few days ago, and had an absolute blast. The event hosted 3 race distances: 100 meter Ninja Course, 400 meter Team Ninja Course, and a 5K obstacle course. I would have to say that this organization is one of the reasons why the Philippines, if not Asia for that matter, is on the map for obstacle course racing. The POSF, Pilipinas Obstacle Sports Federation which is a branch of World OCR based in Switzerland, this organization has been working hard in helping the sport of OCR gain momentum to possibly hit the main stage. And being part of the SEA Games, they are well on their way to paving the way for what some might say, the Olympics.
Being part of the official media commission of World OCR, I am excited to be part of this growth and helping in any way that I can. Although the sport of obstacle course racing has been around for awhile now, it has still not received mainstream recognition, and this is one of the reasons why I developed, started, and committed to my OCRTUBE media project, which is to help the sport grow worldwide through creative media channels. The sport is growing super fast in Asia, and that is because the organizations here are so passionate about it, and I am just glad to be right in the middle of all the excitement.
With the Founder Al Agra of POSF, considered the Godfather of OCR in the Philippines.

Anyways, just wanted to share my quick 4 minute recap from the Allianz Conquer Challenge and the Ninja OCR Series which happened last weekend here in Manila, Philippines. Being based here in the Philippines for the time being, I would encourage you all to come visit. There are a lot of OCR related activities, and it's an amazing way to see how the sport is growing here in Asia. Feel free to connect with me and I would be happy to show you around. =)
