I remember when a team from Boston came to Nova Scotia to pull againt Falmouth Heavy. The Americans didn't believe in using the backlock. Falmouth took the set, slipped some rope and held on hands. The Boston team surged but no go. Falmouth went into the backlock and started a march - never stopped till they walked them out.
Very interesting technique. I pulled as part of 5 societies/fraternities at a small college. We pulled across a pond 10 v 10 with no time limit. Some pulls lasted 90min--bloody hands and armpits. Our technique had us butt on the ground and then we pulled with a cadence with a massive impulse on the rope. If timed well you launch the other team out of their holes and gain ground. It was like doing a quick squat about 30 degrees from the ground. You would land flat on your back and reset your feet. The team was a little vulnerable during the reset but if you got a good pull the other team was moving forward so could not easily pull against you while you were resetting. Fun times!
"no time limit. Some lasted 90min--bloody hands and armpits" sounds like the way I play batminton with a tennis racket at my high school. Best times always live so short.
Must be during the Highland Games in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. I use to live in that county, many years ago but my family still lives there...i live in Cape Breton now.
It’s the way tug of war has been pulled in Atlantic Canada for close to a century, if not longer. Their is a loop at the end of the rope for the anchor.
@@peterlaureijs1605 i try find a channle i followed, if ok i can share link see get some ideas of technique. been 35 years since high school .i personally dis not do it.bigger dutchman than me lol
@@jamesleicher sounds good 👍 I suspect the technique would be different. Most tug of war I’ve seen is different than the way we pull tug of war. Ours is unique to our region. It’s not the traditional way, but it’s a lot of fun!
So first off, there should’ve been a bell that sounded once the timer hit zero. Second, it’s funny how the coaches think they’re actually influencing anything just because they stand right beside the players and blurt things out, lol. Thirdly, there shouldn’t be an anchor with a strap attached, thats unnatural, it should just be a plain rope.
Hey, thanks for watching and appreciate the comment! This is the way things are done here and we enjoy it. Certainly a bit different than traditional tug of war.

That would have been a sight to see!

90 minutes is pretty long! Thanks for sharing

This was the Antigonish Exhibition. The Highland Games was earlier in the year. Both great events!
Come to think of it, i went to hockey school there when i was a kid...lol in the 70's

Right on, that’s neat! We have screws put into our boots for traction. Some guys have horseshoes on the heel of their boots too.

Does your style include turning in to face the other way as well?
Easy
It’s good fun!
Что за херню я только что посмотрел?
Dreadful technique
How many per team?
10 men on each team. It’s a different style compared to the traditional tug of war, but it’s been done like this in our area for a very long time.
This is absolutely toss. European women teams would murder this lot.
