Elkton, Florida – The Games in Florida Man are back for round 2 when teams from all over the state gather to prove that they have what it takes to join the ranks of the worst superhero in the world.

After the success of the first Florida Man plays in Florida in downtown St. Augustine, the organizers moved to St. John's County Fairgrounds on Saturday, where they are expected to have space for more spectators and tailgating.

The games were held by Josh Wicks Robinson and Kevin Flynn from Florida.

The state's teams made fun of the reputation of the state of bizarre stories. The teams of the past year took part in events such as the expression of the obstacle paras and the wrestling beer Belly Sumo. The new events added this year include Hurricane Party Prep: food balance sheet chief and human beer pong.

Ten teams from all over the state, from Fort Myers to Pensacola. Last year's winner, Team Hanky ​​Spanky from St. Augustine, returned to defend her Snakeskin championship belt. A purely female team named Ball Buster was again this year.

Croix Bruns, a 29-year-old technician at Dave & Buster's, took part in the weapon pool pasta competition. He lived his whole life in Florida, with the tattoos that “show” for it, and he said he believed that a “true man from Florida” does not prepare for the games.

“You are only ready to be great,” said Bruns. “You are ready for the trophy and ready for the title, and every year someone has to be born new for it.”

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

“We have the Olympic Games and they have always been there, but they don't have a Gator throw,” said Bruns. “You have no competition where you have to keep your beer at the same time and fight for someone else.”

In addition to the events, the guests have the chance to get up Shenanigans even after Florida Man. You can interact with alligators from Gatorland and drive a mechanical alligator. The games also offer a show by “Midget Wrestling Warriors” and Lawnmower Racing, which are organized by Nascar driver Jeffrey Earnhardt.

The games Florida embody to the announcer Che Durena in a competitive sense.

“It is exactly as I had imagined,” he said. “It is the right measure of dirty and extravagant and outdated. It is exactly what I want. It is many people who drink during the day, many people who get sunburn, celebrate a lot of people and behave in the best way. “

The phenomenon “Florida Man” was partly sent to the nation's awareness. The report observed “real stories about the worst superhero in the world”, in which news such as “Florida Man Bites Dog” and “Florida Man” tried to pay for McDonald's with weeds. “
