Scott Thigpen is your average every day geek that lives behind a Mac doing illustrations and graphic designs for various places (now permanently at UAB). His life was out of whack and Scott knew he needed something more in life so he decided to tackle the Tour Divide, a self supported mountain bike race that was nearly 3,000 miles long.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
