Weird Sports: Videos

Seems just about anything can be considered a sport these days. You could probably create a new sport with whatever you have in front of you right now. Got a few plastic cups left over from a party last weekend? You could try sport stacking. It’s not just a new craze–someone actually holds a “world record” in it.
If stacking cups bores you (or reminds you of an old dishwashing gig), you could always challenge yourself to a ladder climbing contest. Just try and beat this guy…
Who knows, these sports could even be new Olympic events–you know, one of the weird ones, like curling. Maybe they’ll even open the door for such classics as stone skimming, cheese rolling (below), and zorbing.
Make up any new sports lately?

That kid must have been upset! So close, yet so far away. We were wondering how many other cup stackers post their “oh so close” videos. Honestly, we would rather watch the dramatic “Rocky” type endings where a lesson is learned through hard work and diligence, yet no world records are actually set. Thanks for putting up a video that has my boys rummaging through my cabinets looking for cups!! We love it!

Hey, I just made up a new sport! It’s called “Mouse Moving”. You shake a computer mouse for 10 seconds, trying to get the most shakes.

Hey, that first one was crazy! The second was a little odd (did they use magnets?) and the third I didn’t get at all. Over all it was great and a good idea! Thanks for showing! By the way were did you get the videos??

The Ladder-Climbing race was ridiculous! (ridiculously awesome and unbelievable, that is). It looks like it took no effort and yet there has GOTTA be pressure on the guy. Damn. That’s insane. xD
Not to mention the others. They’re pretty extreme too, lol.

omg very very weird. i am a speed stacker myself but i am not very good. i did not get the third one at all. maybe it was some kid would roll a cheese down a hill then a bunch of people would roll down the hill, trying to catch the cheese?
