Recommended Posts

Participants race down the 200-yard-long hill after a round of Double Gloucester cheese is sent rolling down it. The event was traditionally held by and for the people who live in the local village of Brockworth, but now people from all over the world take part. The event is thought to be around 600 years old.

This.

Watching videos of past cheese rolling contests, it’s amazing more people haven’t had fractures and/or concussions.

Yeah I’ve been watching more too. Put them on the big screen and it’s even better.

In the downhill racing stupid carnage dept, I present Mountain of Hell. 25km downhill in the Alps on ice/snow/rocks. Thousand riders. Hundreds of wipeouts at a time. See 2:35 for the starting pileup.

Heigh-Ho the Dairy-O, the Cheese Stands Alone....

 

So, the locals never thought to question the 600 year old nursery rhyme that accompanied the Double Gloucester Cheese Rolling Tradition?

That’s crazy. I’m surprised those guys aren’t wearing more padding or body armor.

My BIL did a downhill ride last year and said it was the scariest experience of his life. Lots of loose rocks, narrow paths and shear drop offs. He said the people who did it were all crazy.
