10 min of American Redneckery

Nate and I went back to the US for a short trip and found some time to go to a local Harvest Fair. I took some video of some of the New England hick activities. If any of you would like to waste 10 min of your life, check it out!

- Mud Bogging: Build a big monster truck and drive it through a mud pit repeatedly
- Doodle Bug pulls: Build a tractor from spare parts only (on the cheap, from garbage, basically a rat-tractor) and see who can pull the most weight
- Antique Tractor "Original Rust": There was a mini tractor/ agricultural show and we saw this tractor built by a 15-year old (this guy's grandfather) in the 1930's.
- Car show: Stumbled on an impromptu American car show at a car dealership en route to the fair.
- Horse pulls: Same as doodle bug pulls, only with a team of two "shire horses"

Enjoy!

looks like you had quite a good time
Next time ffs HOLD YOUR PHONE HORIZONTALLY!!!!!

thanks for the enlightening video!

my previous impression was that such activities were restrained to the Confederate states, but clearly some aspects of the good ol' Redneck lifestyle have been appropriated by the Yankees now?

Enjoyed that, ta.
Those 'orses were keen to get off the mark- jiminy!
