The crowd stood at least six people deep Saturday for the most popular competition at the 12th annual Redneck Games — the Mud Pit Belly Flop.
Spectators cheered as they got splattered with red Georgia clay, all the muddier thanks to scattered downpours throughout the afternoon.
"I'd seen it on YouTube and decided to do it," said competition winner Geddy Lehman, 17, of Pennsylvania, a first-timer to the games. "It still stings a little."
Lehman took home one of the trophies, which come topped with a crushed beer can.
The games started with contestants trying to ring posts with toilet seats in the Redneck Horseshoes competition, and continued with Bobbin' for Pigs Feet and a watermelon seed spitting contest.
For Tom and Elizabeth Curry of Augusta, who set up near the mud pit, the games have become an annual family trip.
"Coming here is our roots," he said. "We're rednecks every day. And it's the best day of the summer. Everybody's friendly and everybody's a family."

i remember watching this last year and i thought it was the funniest thing in the world but i was curious...what defines a red neck? im not talking about the actual social definition or historical definiation, im talking about what makes you eligable to participate in the redneck games?

I was probably the only one who missed the cynicism. The rest probably know you are from VT. Your post say NE and I was picturing some staid, proper, prim Bostonian.
