The World’s Hardest Test ‘Recruits open for shocking output

(Warning: The below contains spoilers to Special forces: World’s Hardest Test Season 3 Section 6, “Terror and Brotherhood.”)

This season, the violent Special forces: World’s Hardest Test have already demanded half of the recruits. With eight residents that went into Wednesday’s (January 29) episode, the instructional staff (DS) took the famous faces even further out of their comfort zones focusing on service and resilience. The fourth week began with a search course for search and hostages. During the simulated mission, their job was to save innocent civilians in deadly danger.

From there, the recruits faced a tall wire traverse followed by a death hand over a 300-foot drop. Just when the exhausted group thought they were done for the day, DS wasn’t done. They endured a “BI -Sting” punishment after Christy Carlson Romano could not maintain weight in her burden -backpack earlier in the day. They were called a muddy and wet obstacle course that ended up with the shocking elimination of Carey Hart. The motocross legend was medically withdrawn from damage to his ankle and wrist suffered during a fall.

The favorite was not the only one who went home. During the day 8, a three-step endurance test in mountainous terrain pushed Kyla Pratt to its fracture point. Fellow Disney Channel Alum Romano didn’t follow long after it was decided she couldn’t keep up.

Here Hart opens what he got out of the experience, what his wife Pink thought of his efforts and more.

How frustrating was it for you to have been through all the other challenges and done so well, but then taken out of one obstacle course at the connection?

Carey Hart: It was definitely frustrating, but true it was my own fault. You really need to pay attention to details and information that DS gives you. When the show and the challenges took place, they became a little more complicated. I think a good example of it was the gas mask situation with Cam Newton. You think you are going in this situation with this mask on and throwing yourself a curve ball. Mask is off and you still have to end your challenge. Where I turned up and was injured, the second or third circuit we had to do was because it was the fastest eliminated.

We would typically do two laps on the square around the connection and go back to the square. This time DS said for us to run it back around again around the connection and back in the square, I was not aware that it was a lap. Me and most of the other people did two laps. Had I been aware, I would not have been in that situation.

You talked about on the show how physically drained you were at this point. Do you think you would have been able to reach it to the end if the damage did not take place?

The truth I am pretty stubborn. I have a pretty high suffering rate. I think I wasn’t at the moment again but I think I would have had it to get to the end. Had it just been my wrist because I fine -tuned my wrist when I hit the ground and not the ankle? If it was just the wrist, I could have wallpapered it up and went on. As creepy as the whole program is, especially with the old ankle, I have that is being merged next year, I had to be smart and tap out.

What were the next few days after when you looked back?

When I go into the show, I have so many injuries and problems with my body. And it’s all self -inflicted, so I’m not complaining about it. I went there to take that day by day. Literally, there were five things that could have happened in the first two days that could have taken me out of the whole situation. I could have rolled an ankle on a stone walk through one of the challenges. I was happy, but also obviously disappointed because I was so close to the end. I think it was like 48 hours left. I was really happy with my view and how I stopped throughout the program. I definitely left with my head high.

How did your wife answer after you talked to her after the medical withdrawal?

Originally there was no communication, but she knew the length of the show’s time. I’m sure of her, on the back of her mind, if she heard from me anytime before the tenth day there would probably be an injury. I was injured around midnight that night. When I got back to my phone, it was like 2 or at. 3, I got her on Facetime, her eyes are wide and face is kind of pale because she was waiting for me to tell her that I have a bone sticking out. I let her get away as it was just a few sprains.

So she was more, ”what? Just a few sprains. You can go back out there! “

She knows me. Usually I would have pushed through, but in that situation there was no way I could get through with an ankle injury.

How would you describe the group’s dynamics from your perspective? Is there anyone you are especially close to now?

Frankly, it’s great. I think Cam Newton said it best that this was a trauma bond, especially with the last eight of us. We were really a solid group and created that trauma bond. We still have a group chat in progress. We talk everyone individually quite a bit. I would say that I really connected well with Cam, Golden (Tate), Kyla, Kayla (Nicole), all together. In fact, Brody (Jenner) comes up tomorrow to ride some motocross with me in the house. I definitely follow everyone.

This seems like such a physical and emotionally effective show to be on. What do you think you got from this experience?

I think it was exactly how I can challenge myself. I didn’t have a romantic idea where I searched for myself through this show. No respect for those who did these things for that reason. For me at the age of 48 and the professional career I have had that is not your average career, I just wanted to feel that endorfin dump again. I would feel it rush. For me I achieved what I wanted. Every day I was there was an achievement. I left with my head held high. It was an amazing experience.

What would you say was the hardest part of this, the mental or physical?

It was 100 percent mentally. It wasn’t just so much in the challenges we had to make. The most mentally draining part for me was that you just don’t know when the day is over. You can be completely soft and wet at 10 at night with your set sitting at the edge of your bunk. You don’t know if you can put dry clothes on or if you want to be called back out again. The element of not knowing you always go idle at eight o’clock and willing to jump at. 10.

Is there anyone in mind from your circle that you think would be good to review this?

I can think of 50 people but it would be hard to say a person. I think it would be good for someone who wants to compare themselves to that world of people. You check the kind of your own life and check your own career path. Many times you have someone working with you or for you. To give up all your power and name where you are just a number, just have to fall in and give a hundred percent no matter what, it’s a pretty humble and eye -opening experience. There are many benefits that can come up from this.

What is the next thing for you now that you have had this experience? Looking to tackle more reality -tv?

For me it really was for the experience. When I was younger, I dipped a toe in the reality -TV world with the show about my tattoo shop and some other things. I saw this as just the challenge of testing my old body. I’m still competing. I’m still doing motocross. I still make freestyle motocross in a very old age, but still do and build these Indian motorcycles I have. This will be an amazing experience for me, because now that I go to rallies and pushing things, it will give people something new to talk about against my first backflip and old things from my motocross career.

What is the future of this sport in your eyes?

I think the sky is the limit. I think the athletes are getting so much better and much more intense. I think the campaigns are really good. I think what is done in supercross is great. The sky is the limit. I hope to see it keep growing. It is a machine that is highly dependent on sponsorship collar, but I think that with the viewer that the races get now, I hope the sport is growing. It’s funny. I just took my family to Anaheim too for supercross this weekend. It’s fun to be a fan again and not a team owner.
