KTLA, a news station in Los Angeles, is reporting on this amazing thing that happened in Florida. We don’t know why, but we’re not looking a gift bear in the hammock. (Please start using that expression everywhere, as soon as possible.)
New extreme sport: Black bear in a hammock
We’re sure the SEC is working on getting this into Division I as we speak.
Bill Hanstock is a writer, author and Emmy Award-winning producer. He began writing for SB Nation in 2011.
This is clearly a new, spectacularly dangerous extreme sport, but one we can definitely get behind. The rules of Bear Hammock are as follows:
1. Provide back yard, complete with sturdy hammock
- 1a. Hammock must easily support medium-sized black bear. Hammocks not up to code will be disqualified
- 1b. Bear must be able to easily find hammock
- 1c. Providing iced tea or ham sandwich for bear is optional
2. Bear locates, lies upon hammock
3. Bear is judged on quality of “chillaxing” by panel of three established layabouts
- 3a. Examples of approved judges would be: Kato Kaelin, Garfield, Hedonismbot
4. Most relaxed bear wins
