Former Altamont Resident on TV Challenge Series

Former Altamont resident Nate Pontious is one of the competitors on the new season of "Steve Austin's Broken Skull Challenge".

The second season of the series debuts this Sunday night at 7pm on CMT.

The Broken Skull Challenge is named after "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's ranch, which is the setting for the competition that involves a series of physical challenges. Pontious, a 2009 graduate of Altamont Community High School and a member of a state track meet relay team there, is now a resident of Los Angeles. He has many friends he knew in the Altamont community, including our own Flex.

Pontious said he's not allowed to tell anyone how he did on the competition until the show airs. You can watch a preview of the show, featuring the bearded Pontious, by clicking here.
