1st place is not always the winner

2006 (1)
Every year during FIBArk, in Salida, Colorado, where I live, there is a race……. to come in second place.  First place loses.  The Hooligan Race is pure comedy and sort of controlled chaos.  As the fibark site says

"If it floats and isn't a boat, then it is a

Hooligan entry! …..All sorts of
floatable "crafts" will launch above the boat ramp; hoping to hang on,
stay afloat and remain intact through the whitewater park to the finish
line at the surf hole below F St. Bridge."

Over the years, there has been some good times:

2004- PVC Motorcycles

2005- Bubble-wrap Man (solo)

2006- Bikers through Ring of Fire

2007- retired because ring of fire was unbeatable

2008- TOP SECRET.  Will tell you it involves a stationary exercise bike…
