Portland, OR-based photographer Sol Neelman went to L.A. and shot an arm wrestling tournament that is equal parts sports and performance art.

Last time I went to LA, shit got SURREAL.

That’s when I got my first taste of ladies arm wrestling Hollywood Style.

For better or worse, there are many things I will never forget, things I can’t unsee.

I had many fond flashbacks to my time with Extreme Pencil Fighting up in Seattle. Same energy, same crassness, same wonderfulness.

Weird Sports, holla.
