Coleslaw Wrestling: Biker Babes Tangle In A Roughage-And-Tumble Contest

For those who like their roughage with a side of smooth moves, one Florida bar's semi-annual coleslaw wrestling competitions aren't hard to stomach at all.

Some 600,000 rough riders are expected to roll into Daytona, Fla., later this week for Bike Week 2012, according to one Florida tourism site, pumping $300 million into the local economy.

Among the cultural activities for motor maniacs and biker babes are wet T-shirt contests and pudding wrestling. But the most unusual activity involves a common picnic condiment -- coleslaw.

At The Cabbage Patch bar, ladies can dig in to coleslaw wrestling.

Naturally, for scientific reasons like advantageous resistance on the slippery surface and the altruistic desire to minimize laundry bills, participants don bikinis to compete. One bartender told The Huffington Post that the grand prize is $500 at the competitions on Wednesday, March 14, or Saturday, March 17.

The bartender also told HuffPost that the competition typically draws 10 to 30 women and is run as a simple double-elimination. There's also no distinction of weight class.

does anyone have any barbecue ribs or mustard to help out I love coleslaw as long as they wrestle clean and use a lot of soap and wash up before they get into the ring it's okay with me

Used to live 5 miles from the cabbage patch bar. If you want an experience and don't mind drunk bikers and biker girls in slinky clothes, the cabbage patch is the place to go during bike week.

When I was three, my parents made me eat coleslaw when it was on my plate and I gagged and had to spit it out. This is not doing anything to improve my view of the dish.

I admire the sport, but I'd rather see a little less woman, maybe some jello too.

Nothing hotter than fat rednecks wrestling in greasy cabbage. That's our nations pride right there.

Guess where my finger is.

I'm always coming up with new and interesting recipes for cole slaw. I don't think I'll look at cole slaw the same way ever again. I might even lose my appetite for it. Couldn't they have done it with ice cream, cake and other fattening foods? Cole slaw is such a great diet food. I hope I can get the image out of my head LOL.
