Had no idea until now that cheese rolling was an actual sport

You never knew! :roflol:

Countdown loves cheese rolling. They add it to their crazy clips and wacky videos broadcast all the time. It is even in the Traditions Hall of Fame with the waring churches, polar bear clubs, and orange throwing festival.

It's kind of fun when you realize that Neopets didn't just make these things up, isn't it?

I already knew about it when they put it up on the site, but it's pretty cool. I've actually been to a cheeserolling competition before. It was really weird, but terribly entertaining.

I could almost see myself doing this... however... i've also seen how many injuries come up from it. So i'm not too interested in it.

yeah, I could see myself getting pretty competitive with this, oh man..

Yeah, it was all I could do to keep from joining in. However, I remembered how many injuries I regularly get from walking down ordinary stairs, so I didn't. But it looks so darn fun!

But right now, the only things keeping me from going cheeserolling are some sense of vegan-ness and the fact that there is no cheeserolling in Kentucky. I googled. Ooh, maybe I could start a vegan cheeserolling society! (Someone please stop me before I actually do. This can only end in tragedy.)

Log tossing is also a sport.

Hey! As one of Scottish heritage, I totally agree that the caber toss is one of the coolest things in the world.

I never knew about this earlier! Besides on Neopets, I mean.
It sounds like fun, actually.

I hope they wrap the cheese up first though

That looks like so much fun! xD

I too, had never known it was a sport.

I've known it was a sport for ages.
