I was really scared while watching the video of Tow-in Surfing. I would like to know whether the guy is alive.

It’s clear you are a twat, I am English and guess what i refer to a toilet as… a TOILET, and so do my friends family and have only met one person who called it a bog, and he was Scottish. Oh, and most of the people speaking are Wlesh not English.

I saw a video on cheese rolling on yomansports.com. Talk about the potential of seriously getting hurt and wife carrying? I saw it on the german channel on tv last week. This guy dragged his wife through a puddle of water with her head under water.

Free soloing is absolutely insane. He truly is a real life spiderman, even has the red and blue outfit. I can’t imagine how firm this guys handshake must be. I am a bit of an adrenaline junkie but I wouldn’t even dream of attempting it on even a small cliff.

Hi Annie, could you give us some examples of crazy World Championships held in India?

Also, does anyone know any more about the ladder climbing race please?

Cheers

When I first saw the title “Bog snorkelling” my first thought was that in English slang (and when I say English I am referring to a small nation where every citizen is either thoroughly retarded or wants a good beating by a stout rugby player wielding a large stick. This country is located on an island just north of mainland Europe on the island of Britain which is also where the great, wonderful, utopian land of Scotland is located, as well as Wales, which nobody outside of Wales cares a tinker’s cuss about. But at least they aren’t French.) a bog is a toilet. Also, you can tell by the retarded manner in which they are speaking that they are in England. So, how interesting would that be, snorkelling in a toilet?

You can tell that it’s skewed by the shape of the truck, but it’s still tough obviously – and that driver could have been easily killed if that truck rolled down the hill instead of righting itself first… props to the driver for getting lucky.

If you’re really that good, it’s not bragging, it’s just called “explaning”!!!

If you DON’T self-promote, someone else has to do it for you…. so what!?! I’d rather hear it from YOU!!!

Free Soloing is SCARY.

How can he just jump from a small ledge hoping to catch the next, he must be equally good on high rises I guess. I’m speechless…

I am from India and I can tell you that there are so many sports here that would seem more “odd” than the ones you have listed. Yet locals find them a way of life.

How about injuries? Neck and backs could be damaged pretty badly.

I think I'd seen 8 out of ten, Free Soloing stands out, I thought only Spiderman could climb like that. I thought your CycloCross was disappointing but that might be because I was a unicyclist as a youth and find Extreme Unicycling to be much more impressive, almost on the order of parkour

Well cyclocross is a fairly common game in Belgium and the rest of Europe.
We Belgium have the best cyclocrossers (allmost every year the worldchampion is from Belgium).
And its not a small sport. Oh and the video you see is not a good discription of the sport.
