Promoters of
the X Games found themselves at loss acquiring a suitable location until
asking for directions from a local Baptist Church. They came face to face
with Ken Moody. After a brief proding…uh, I mean conversation, not only
did the promoters receive directions, they also found that Ken Moody indeed
had the venue they were seeking. It took the better part of the day to
reach the lodge as Ken is the county road supervisor, whose objective was
to replace any missing stop signs from Rt. 127 to Hurricane Creek. That
turned into nearly an all day job had it not been for the willingness of
the promoters to help Ken by holding the signs so he could wire them to
field fences close to each intersection.
The stage is set with
competetors from all walks of life. Some are of Scottish , Welsh,
and Scots Irish backgrounds…Celtics if you will. Some are of other
various descents…Iowa, Kansas, California, Conneticuit, and a couple other
vary diverse locations within the United States. There will be a strong
presence of the Celtic background, and not to be surprised if they’re dressed
as warlike herdsmen at worst or in fashionable kilts at best. At best?????
What ever happened to a Redneck wearin’ camo????? There’s some fact that
the true Redneck background is that of Celtic origin, according to Forrest
McDonald and Grady McWhiney. Hence came, The Redneck X Games.
Bowhunters will again,
infiltrate the beautiful, peaceful borders of Tennessee.
The Redneck X Games won’t
consist of the normal stuff of normal X Games you’ve seen on T.V. Absolutely
no skateboardin’ or skiin’ in these games.
No Sir! It’s about endurance!
Keepin’ up with the guide who takes one step to two of yours…uphill. It’ll
require outstanding archer skills and the ability to drop your bow and
climb a tree directly after shooting, and hitting where you shoot!
The downhill event has
nothing to do ski’s. No helmets and slippery shiny suits’n goggles.
Just a bunch of bow carryin’, huntin’ boot wearin’ fools tryin’ to run
fast enough to pass the middle man in the group as the resident referree
hog decides to chase your ass until you find a tree to climb.
The uphill event is the
opposite of the downhill…just a lot slower.
The Rednecks wearin’ camo
will have the advantage over the “men in dresses”. Those saw-briars will
slow’em down. You’ll need a trained ear to distinguish between the squeel
of a hog getting shot, or one of the Celts getting torn up by briars or
mistakenly climbing a black locust when a piglet charges him!
Let the games begin, and
may the best man win…wearin’ a dress or not!
