Fancy a spot of tennis, basketball or football? Boring! Why play a conventional sport that actually makes some kind of sense when you could be spending your time tumbling down hills or climbing mountains to do your ironing. Without further ado, here are the 6 most ridiculous sports we can’t believe actually exist.
We’re actually glad that this sport exists because it is both chaotic and completely epic. Held once a year at Cooper’s Hill in Gloucester, a wheel of cheese is set rolling down an incredible steep hill with members of the general public chasing it. The results are rag-doll city and are absolutely bonkers, with men dramatically tumbling and flipping down the hill at ridiculously fast speeds. Injuries often occur for the people taking part, and even the cheese itself can occasionally inflict some damage. Travelling at speeds of almosyt 115 kmh, a wheel of cheese flew into a spectator in 1997 and actually broke their nose. Unbelievable!
