Dinhu4ever Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Elephant Polo sounds exciting, new and appealing to the small kids who adore everything that's big and can accidentaly stomp you to death. It would take a lot of Elephants though...does everyone needs to have their own elephant or is sharing an option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Rols Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Bring back the chariot sports. And bring in the gladiator events. And go back to the original tradition of all-nude competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baron-pierreIV Posted April 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Extreme Ironing....how does that work? If you clicked on the link, this is what it says: Extreme ironing is an up and coming sport that started in the United Kingdom in 1997. Ironing? It sounds pretty boring right? Wrong! I don’t think you’d see Suzie Homemaker ironing this way. It’s the “extreme” in extreme ironing that makes it exciting, challenging, and dangerous. The objective is to iron in different and dangerous places such as while mountain climbing, water skiing, canoeing, or skydiving. There’s even a world championship for the sport. This is what happen when people have too much time on their hands. Check out the official extreme ironing website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
