The 10 Craziest Competitive Sports (You Never Heard Of)

Written by Skywalkeer on 9:30 AM

Humans have been taking part in sporting events for thousands of years, and now we’ve got ESPN to broadcast them 24 hours a day! However, you aren’t going to see these gems on TV even if you’re watching at 2am. We’ve got a little of everything here from Camel Wrestling to Bog Snorkelling and Cheese Rolling to Ladder Racing. And if anyone knows of other insane sports to add please drop a comment below. Now, on with the madness!

Ladder Racing:

Screw the ladder truck. I want THESE guys as firemen!

4WD Sand Dune Climbing:

Ok. That’s just not possible.

Chess Boxing

I’ve got an idea… let’s take something extremely cerebral like chess and combine it
with skull cracking boxing!

Wife Carrying

Hey, I’m 6′1″ and my wife is 4′ 10″. We’ve actually got a shot at this one!

Cheese Rolling

It’s not what you think! Drunken idiots throwing themselves down a hill! I can hear the bones crunching now

Camel Wrestling

All right. I guess if you live in the desert with nothing better to do…

CycloCross

hope these guys are wearing a cup. That metal bar is way too close to the family jewels to be doing these things on bikes

Tow-in Surfing

I’ve seen surfing before, but never on waves so big you need a jet ski to pull you up to
speed for. These guys are insane, and the guy in this video got caught in a real live Tsunami

Free Soloing

People partaking of this sport are truly insane. As proof Dan Osman, the guy in this video, later lost his life doing this.

Bog Snorkelling

Even the dog didn’t want to swim in this crap.
