A.G.R.O. HOUSTON'S 6TH ANNUAL SUPERPULL SUNDAY: February 3rd 2013
Rick & Angela's youngest daughter Sarah on the central hub at Superpull 2010
The Anti-Gravity Relaxation Organization was founded in Houston, Texas in February of 2004 by Rick Pierceall and his wife Angela Marsh. Every year, on the first Sunday in February, A.G.R.O. Houston holds it's annual Superpull Sunday, marking the anniversary of that very first meeting. This is an event exclusive to the Houston chapter, where A.G.R.O. got its start. In honor of Superpull Sunday, A.G.R.O. Houston opens its meet and welcomes the other A.G.R.O. chapters and suspension teams from all across the country to join in on a massive flesh pull.
This year will mark Houston's 6th annual Superpull Sunday and we are changing the event up. Instead of everyone joining in on a central hub and just pulling aimlessly- we will have the hub, and we are making this a Tug-O-War competition, with an AGRO Superpull 2013 trophy awarded to the winning team.
TUG-O-WAR COMPETITION RULES:
Each team will consist of 10 people- 5 people with hooks competing, and 5 people to work: piercing, rigging, spotters, and bio during each match. Participants will be allowed to pull from any part of the body, as long as they do not exceed a maximum of 2 hooks per participant. Participants may switch between pulling and working between each match, but not during. Hooks must be completely covered with a bandage, and a article of clothing must cover the bandage if you are working a match. The winner of the match will be determined by the first team to pull their opposing team distance of 12 feet. People pulling during the match will not be allowed to touch the ground with their hands, and spotters are not allowed to help pull- they can only steady the person pulling. Winning teams will go on to face off until only one teams remains.
