I woke up this morning feeling Mantastic! That was such a fun, testosterone producing, weight loss advancing, and skill set enhancing activity! In a world of toxic masculinity and bra burning, it was nice to be able to put on my Manzere this morning and feel the penetrating influence of the spiritually pure benign masculinity that pulsed through my veins as I competed and then watched it over and over in my mind. Well done gentlemen!! -Chris from Eugene OR
Mike, Jason, and Dustin… wanted to say thanks for putting on an incredible Manvitational event. Was even more awesome this year than last year. To show my appreciation for the event, I came up with a personal top 10 list from yesterday’s festivities:
10. Chris B’s kilt
9. John Bell almost sneaking me into the manvitational as his guest
8. Personally sticking the 2 sided axe this year
7. Shredded pork sandwiches
6. Failing to throw the grappling hook over the zip line because I was standing on the rope…twice
5. All things of the opening ceremony, highlighted by Jason and Dustin’s outfits, the flyover, and the electric guitar
4. Kaly’s encore celebration of the root beer event
3. Legendary trophies of unparalleled craftsmanship and creativity
2. Being deemed “qualified” to move heavy stuff in an excavator following my 20 second tutorial
1. Watching Ryan E. blaze through the tire changing event in record time, and then realizing that our alpha (Brian) did it 2 seconds faster with no warm up at a nice leisurely pace while talking us through the event.
Many thanks once again for your planning, generosity, and creative spirits!! -Jon from Eugene OR
Gentlemen-
It is with great honor that I hold this magnificent trophy. Don’t ask me to operate heavy equipment or chug a root beer but I feel pretty good about this one as it took some form of athletic movements to accomplish.
Another top-notch Manvitational! Not sure where you go from here but I’m excited to see!
Strength and Honor -Dan from Eugene OR
I’m still amazed at the production you put together. The time and energy you spent to put on The Manvitational (as well as others) had to have been immense. I can only thank you and tell you how much I enjoyed the event but more so having the opportunity to reconnect with you and our friends in Eugene. -Tom from Alpine UT
Thanks again for all the time and hard work you guys put in to make that event happen. It really was a blast. You did an amazing job hosting and we are so thankful for all you have done for our family to allow us to come and participate. -Joe from Chandler AZ
