Cheese Rolling!!??

Cheese rolling is probably one of the simplest sports out there. A round Double Gloucester cheese is rolled from the top of a hill, while competitors chase after it. The first individual across the finish line at the bottom of the hill wins! This is always the cheese of course. The competitors try to catch the rolling cheese but this is a rare act for 2 reasons! One is that it has a 1 second head start, and 2 is that it can reach speeds up to 112 Km/Hr! I don't know how much that is in MPH but it sure sounds fast! Apparently this is a dangerous sport as well! People go flying down hill, running and rolling! In fact, in 1997, the cheese took a wrong turn down the hill and accidentally injured a spectator!!! Wow... I'd hate to be that guy! Well, luckily that sport isn't as big in the United States, but if it were lots of people would be rolling after some stinky cheese!

Fistball

 

Fistball is not well covered by the media. Probably because it is a lot like volleyball. The only real differences are that the court size is much bigger than a volleyball court, and that the ball can bounce. This sport is an old sport that’s practiced all over the world. It is almost a combination of volleyball and tennis. Like volleyball, the purpose of the sport is to hit the ball with your fist or arm, but like tennis, the ball has to land in the opponent’s half. After passing the net, the ball may be contacted up to three times. Their are five players on each team. The sport can be played indoors and outdoors. Fistball is actually a sport that is featured in The World Games! This seems like a cool sport. I think this game would be best if played at a BBQ or in a backyard setting. This is would be a great way to bring any family together for food and fun! Try it out and tell me what you think of it!
