Nike's premier footwear as of current times. More suited to the heavier runner. Origianally, there were "springs" under the heel to provide a cushion. The current generation of shox has springs at the front-sides in addition to the heel springs.

Reknowned strongman competition started in 1977. It involves Several heats who get various points for thier placings in events such as the farmers walk. The weights used in such competitions vary, but 300lb is the lowest generally. Certain stationary endurance events will go over 1000lb.
When first started, the leaderboard was set ablaze by the United States, although this stranglehold (The first three years there were anomalous Europeans getting on the board) was quickly diminished, and Northern Europe has become the dominant power.
The greatest show of force however, is two Icelandians; Magnus Ver Magnusson and Jon Pall Sigmarson, who have each won it four times. There have been a few winners from the UK and central Europe, although Mariusz Pudzianowski (Representing Poland) has blown the competition away since his first entry, along with fellow eastern Europeans

(n.) One of the main economies of Europe. This does not include duchies, principalities or struggling nations. Europowers were the heads of now collapsed colonial empires that still occupy the overwhelming majority of places on the league of most powerful economies.

(Idiom noun) Where the little linkin park kiddies with girlfriends bigger than they are start to hump eachother and get hurt. They pretend these wounds were inflicted by some big fight. The truth is, that if anyone who is not some ghey little nu-metal fan gets in the pit, they knock the living shit out of everyone, including the scrawney singers, security and road crew.
The mosh pit is the dumbest fucking idea ever. It is for people too cowardly to get in a real fight. The pit sucks my dingdong.
