Florida Return's Games! The Teams Argue For The Worst Nickname Of The Event To Celebrate The Oddity Of The State

Some of the strongest competitors in Florida – well, the strangest – wanted to show exactly what “Florida Man means”.

THE Florida Man’s matches returned on Saturday 2 on Saturday, while teams from the whole state gathered to prove that they have what it takes to join the ranks of the worst superhero in the world.

After the success of the inauguration of last year Florida man games In the city center of St. Augustine, the organizers moved the event on Saturday a few kilometers away until the Fairgrounds of the County of St. Johns, where they expected to have room for more spectators and heeling.

The games were organized by the actors of Florida Josh Wicks Robinson and Kevin Flynn.

Make fun of the state’s reputation for bizarre stories, the teams of last year participated in events on the theme of Florida such as the escape of the arrest obstacle course and the Sumo beer struggle. The new events added this year include the preparation of the Hurricane Day: Brawl of a grocery aisle and pong of human beer.

It was not clear by Saturday evening when one of the ten teams in competition won the first prize.

Ten teams from the whole state, from Fort Myers to Pensacola, were in competition. The winner of last year, Team Hanky Spanky of St. Augustine, returned to defend his serpent championship belt. This year, an entirely female team also participated in Ball Busters.

Croix Bruns, a 29 -year -old technician for Dave & Buster’s, participated in the armed pool noodle competition. He lived in Florida all his life, with the tattoos “to show it”, and he said that he thought that a “real man of Florida” does not prepare for the games.

“They were just born ready to be great,” said Bruns. “They were born ready for the trophy and ready for the title, and each year, someone again must be born for this.”

Florida Man’s games are something that you will not find anywhere else, he said.

“We have the Olympic Games and they have always been there, but they have no launch of Gator,” said Bruns. “They don’t have a competition where you have to hold your beer and fight someone else at the same time.”

In addition to looking at the events, guests have the chance to go to the man of Florida Shenanigans themselves. They can interact with Gatorland alligators and set up a mechanical alligator. The Games also have a show of “Midget Wrestling Warriors” and lawn races organized by the Pilot Nascar Jeffrey Earnhardt.

To announce Che Durena, the games embody Florida in a competitive sense.

“It’s exactly on the brand as I thought,” he said. “It is the good level of filth and extravagance and debauchery. This is exactly what I want. It’s many days of people’s day, many people get burned, many people party and act stupid in the best way. »»
