Chief Iron Bear holds back two Harley Davison Electroglide Motorcycles while they are doing burnouts for 29 seconds,beating his old record by 8 seconds.


Chief Iron Bear successfully turns over a car in a Strongman Competition.



Chief Iron Bear pulls five Nash Finch tractor-trailer cabs accross a Charlotte Motor Speedway parking lot, setting a world record on April 9, 1994

FORGOT TO ADD HE IS 52 YEARS OLD

I THINK THIS WAS AMAZING FOR HIM TO BE ABLE TO PULL A SEMI THREW 8 TOWNS IN 5 DAYS AND ACCOMPLISHED IT.

I HAVE ASKED HIM HOW HE HAS DONE SOME OF THE THINGS HE HAS DONE AND HE SAID HIS STRENGTH WAS A BLESSING FROM GOD AND HIS HAS DONE NOTHING BUT GOOD WITH IT SINCE HE STARTED IN THE LATE 80'S . HE CAMPAIGNS A STAY COOL SAY NO TO DRUGS PROGRAM FOR THE YOUTH.

HE HAS YOUTH STRONG CAMPS IN DIFFERENT STATES AS WELL AS CANADA AND I THOUGHT I WOULD JUST SHARE THIS.
