NOTHING better than a good Kentucky Demolition Derby. Kenton County Fair has the best. Been watching them since I was a kid!

Im gonna be late for work again watching this !!!

[@OverlandOne]

I live in Kentucky and this is the first I have heard of this. This is awesome.

[@freetickeys]

Thanks for watching my fellow Kentuckian. This video is 10 years old. Lawn mower demos are rather common, now. If interest is shown by enough people who want to enter, local promoters will add it to local demolition derbies. You just gotta let 'em know. Good luck!

[@davidmonroe2378]

I've always wanted to see a forklift demo derby. Drove those hillbilly bumper cars for years. I think it would be fun.

[@nellz72]

Forklift demo derby!!! That would be awesome. Just imagine all the things you could do.

[@bean2157]

Ok not to be a bummer but you would have to take the actual fork off because that’s a way to get impaled

This. Is. Awesome.

[@freetickeys]

Thanks for watching. I don't know much about the specifics because I just make the videos. I do know the fortified tanks were not allowed to enter the last time they showed up. From now on, I think they want the lawn mowers to look like lawn mowers, not panzers.

[@warmfreeze]

was the lady getting pissy because she was getting hit in a demo derby?

[@stub2022]

Ah..wow. Well done, Cletus. No, I suspect she was just frustrated because she was stalled or couldn't get it into gear. If you were a little brighter you might have noticed that other drivers threw their hands up similarly, interesting that you only whined about one in particular. Hahhahahahahah

[@catfishhunter6547]

@@stub2022 no chuckle nuts. If you would've been paying closer attention she was getting upset they were hitting her while she wasn't moving. But notice she is still trying to get her mower to move. And does. If you don't exit your ride you're going to get hit. When she went to exit her ride she got accidental bump from another mower that was being rammed. And she still got mad.

[@freetickeys]

Thanks for watching. Yeah, it's not a level playing field. It's like Panzer's against Cub Cadet's. However, the mower derbies are fairly new and will hopefully evolve with more classes added and maybe some weight restrictions.

[@2stage90]

[@robinstewart6510]

A dry track (instead of mud) would have made it easier for the mowers to get traction, resulting in a much quicker, more exciting, event.

[@phigupot8976]

try playback 2x ..

[@freetickeys]

Thanks for watching. That is prolly a pretty good correlation. It's just some of them bumper cars are a lil more fortified. They ought to do this everywhere!

[@NateB1976]

Man this isn't anything like bumper cars. It just looks slow on a screen. You really gotta see this in person. Those guys get all busted up." I bet the chiropractor loves these guys". More like "I bet the pill peddlers love these guys". Be taking hydros for a week or so(if not roxi's). Notice the guy limping really bad getting off the track. Funny as hell those 2pink mowers were out first. That girl looked terrified after the first hit. She probably thought was gonna be like bumper cars.LOL!!!

We are in the sports doldrums. March Madness is my favorite time of the year for sports. By the time the conference tournaments are played, the brackets are announced and the first weekend of the NCAA tourney is played I am exhausted and addicted. I yearn for just one more game like the addled need one more hit. Baseball Opening Day (Cin. Reds) and The Kentucky Derby are the only sports that come close to the excitement of March Madness for me.

[@NateB1976]

For anyone who thinks it's just like bumper cars. Go get on your riding mower and run it FULL SPEED into a tree about 10 times. Then double or triple the hit you take cause in a derby your not just hitting a stationery object. You get head on collisions and multiple mowers hitting you at once. Just saying... that's all

[@austin-kh8es]

Or just be a real man and get a car

[@pokemonbrotherhood311]

[@get-the-lead-out.4593]

What kind of demolition derby is this when theyre using like 1/8" thick steel tubing, plate, and such that's equivalent to tank armor on these tractors that are lucky to reach like 5 miles per hour in mud...and no I dont expect people to get hurt but at least want to see something having at least a little bit more ability to cause damage to the tractors. I mean imagine if the cars in demolition derbies had 1/4" thick steel armor....no radiators would get smashed, no bumpers would get shoved into their tires binding them up, and just hardly any damage to the vehicle which is the reason for a DEMOLITION derby...yes the root word of demolition is DEMOLISH ;o)
