- For 50 years, The World of Concrete (WOC) has held its annual convention in Las Vegas. Dubbed "ComicCon for concrete guys" by Kevin Thornton, an executive at the company that runs the 700,000-square-foot event, the WOC showcases cutting-edge equipment, high-tech materials and new methods for everything concrete. Also held each year during the three-day convention is the SpecMix Bricklayer 500, a masonry competition where the "world's best mason" is crowned and celebrated with cash prizes and a new truck. Correspondent Conor Knighton pulls us into this universe.

We should celebrate trades more often..they actually benefit society
Yes! Let’s put some of these men on the cover of magazines instead of the Kardashians
Absolutely agree.
Amen! Those are true craftspersons.
Electrician events are pretty impressive as well
Boy as a mason I never heard of this! So cool!!!! The brick layer is only as good as his tender!
These people are part of the backbone of society!
This is so ridiculously fun! I always say that there’s always something for every one. You like concrete, I like graphic design, the world can cater to all kinds of hobbies, passions and likes. Good for you concrete lovers!
Humans are funny 😂🫶🏻
But honestly, concrete is such an incredible material. Its modern formulation and application is one of the great revolutions of the XXth century which changed not only the way we build, but simultaneously the overall aesthetics of modernity in architecture and design.
"The only person that can beat me, is me."
He hasn’t been to Texas.
He hasn't played against a Mexican 😂
I've been there! My brother competed in the power screed competition. My husband competed in the John Deere loader competition.
Love what i learn on CBS Sunday Mornings 🧐✍🏾 💜
Roman Empire concrete was da bomb.
Someone said, "Hey I saw you on CBS, on Superbowl Sunday". I thought they were joking. I totally was on CBS, I'm the "cutting deals" guy, crazy!
Mason strong here!!!..son of a mason for 45 plus years...masons tender my self!!
The vast majority of people these days just walk around staring down at their phones with little to no consideration or appreciation for how our buildings & infrastructure actually get built. Meanwhile, skilled craftspeople like the ones in this video are hard at work, day in & day out, physically building & maintaining our world to make civilized life possible for the masses.
Had no idea there are concrete freaks
WOC is an awesome show. Much more real than CES
You used "trowels and tribulations" too early in the story for everyone to get it. And why didn't you say that the couple getting married "cemented their relationship?"
Man I'm really pleased with this it's not surprising it is actually in the US it is very typical of the US it can make anything a sport.
Well thats disappointing i was expecting one of my tios taking the truck
God Bless America...God Bless Concrete
Hank hill would’ve loved this
as a 30 year mason concrete guy member of local 3 upstate ny this is all fun but my teachers way back always said id rather you lay 4 brick right than 20 wrong dont rush speed come with time on the line....i will make you tear it down and redo it kid
This is better than any woman's sports
Back in the day, I really think I could have been right up there. I laid over 900 brick in 2 hours once and won a $100 dollar bet.
stay tune next week: watching paint dry on walls. It will be amazing.
I know a uncle that can beat him but no papers 😂😂😂
Should have gotten a word from Mr. Concrete UA-cam celebrity himself Ryan from Victory Outdoor Services!
The Government would some tax payer money if they held that competition at the border or housing that is needed on some parts of country (heck, make it international and build for the poorest countries)
Gawd, the concrete in Vegas is what absorbs all the heat by day so it's still stifling after dark! Can't they do a solar panel symposium instead?!
Solar has their own annual event already. Yea, you need concrete in your life whether you know it or not.
No duh, but it's really not great to add more in a 100 plus degree city, trust me 😅😅😅
@@steveconnYes, you should move. 😂😂😂 It's Vegas - Duh
I agree, lived in a concrete house in Mexico. They're good in a hurricane, not so good with the heat in the afternoon into the night.@@steveconn
Every trade of profession now has something that the best compete. Even Excel the software has a world championship now .
*I Like Concrete*

Anyone know what technique they are using 3:12?
That professor wouldnt last one hour on a concrete job.
These guys should do this at the US border with Mexico.
Afterwards they trash everything, this is what drives up the cost of building materials.
In America, everything has been turned into a competition. I wonder what competition this country hasn't done yet.
Real political debate
It’s in us to be competitive
Common sense...😅😅😅
God bless America 🇺🇸
EASYYYY MONEYYYY
No mention of concrete being a finite resource? It depends on using specific sand that is depleting.
This is America so no one cares. They're all like "Beer! Trucks! Construction! Woo hoo!!"
Who built the pyramids in Mexico, whoever did is the best builder. Period.
No one "built" them, they were etched out of the Earth
@@mikeywestside8509 You have comprehension problems.
@@ChosenOne6666 only if yellow tastes like number nine
@@mikeywestside8509 I got chu homie 💀
Wow almost as exciting as the paint drying competition 😅😅😅
3:05 😂😂😂
Only in american wish i had does construction materials for my house!😢
How are they going to put Mexicans for clickbait than not show any
Easy Money
There are no Mexicans here
So this is not the best lol
Someone needs to to teach them how to have a full head joint first. You learn quality first and speed and production comes with time and experience
Make your cover photo two white guys and i bet you'd have a million views by now
👍👍👍👍
Concrete freak!
They had me until the CO2 scam
I beat myself all the time
All due respect but this needs more Mexicans
That's not concrete
I got $100 on the mexican
Walls built faster than Donald Trump does…..
Change the carbon footprint by researching ancient structures and reproducing those standing for centuries
Quarrying massive stones and transporting them across the country will definitely have a lower cost and carbon footprint than locally produced concrete.
i got hard concrete
I know the group of 5 Mexicans I see on these new construction jobs could compete 😂
I love the couple who got married at the concrete event. If they have a kid they can call her Concreehsa.
What a sausage fest
shoulda made them build houses i mean what a waste of produict and time
Should’ve made you cry more
What a waste,only in America ❤😂
huh? How is this a waste. Are you aware of what concrete means to the world
Who built the pyramids in Mexico, whoever did is the best builder. Period.
