Sam Griffiths vs. Paul Tapner: Who’s the Aussiest?

Australian event riders Sam Griffiths and Paul Tapner faced off in a quiz last week at the BETA International trade show to determine who is the “Aussiest.” The loser had to dance around BETA wearing a Gatehouse helmet and air jacket — and yes, it’s as hilarious as it sounds.

These are the questions Sam and Paul had to answer:

  1. What is the capitol of Australia?
  2. What day is Australia Day?
  3. How long can koalas sleep for?
  4. How many species of kangaroo are there in Australia?
  5. What is the highest mountain in Australia?
  6. What is the meaning of these Australia slang words? A. Barbie B. Arvo C. Thongs

Watch the video to find out who won and who had to dance around BETA (just try to watch without laughing!).
