- Thread starter Kaboose the Moose
- Start date
I really love
- uphill, take a hill with an incline of 70% or so and try to get your bike/car/snowmobile/whatever as high up as possible
- caravan racing, car racing with caravans attached, duh
- backward racing, uhm yeah, racing backward
Not very common events.

Either Slamball (mentioned before) or hurling [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AM-kB1e96CA]. The latter is just...lulz, just think of a mix between field hockey, football and baseball, and no you're not forced to wear a helmet or any other fancy protection (some do ofcourse) so in short: fucking insane. Just flinging sticks around in a tight crowd while fighting for a tiny ball, hell yea.
Sumo.
It has everything. Honour, Dignity, Tradition, and two fat guys slapping the shit out of each other.

I always wondered about rallying or rally car racing. It's not only about speed but it also involves insane control so as to not kill the onlookers that tend to stray too close to the track to take pictures. There are some insane rally car drivers out there!!
Its all about Boxwars. Possibly the best sport in the world.

Hockey, have the balance to skate on ice and the brute power to body check some one through a thick pane of glass.
Most popular? Football (soccer for those Americans who are to coddled)
My favorite? Hockey
But honestly, American Football? Large men in heaps of pads running for 6 seconds at a time and crying if they break a finger. In soccer (and I use this term to differentiate between the two), you break your nose, you get sent back out onto the field. You break it again, sure, we'll sub you, but that only leaves 2 more. My whole deal with the American football scene is that soccer players are considered field fairies by all football coaches from the middle school level and up. This is why soccer is not very big in the US. We are told that it is a pansy sport from a young age when, in fact, it is played with only shin guards as pads and it is a high-contact sport.
Sorry about my rant, hopefully others agree.
