Maybe you’ve heard about these sports. To be honest, apart from 2 out of 19 I knew nothing about them. I couldn’t even imagine that some of them can actually exist.
Well, if people like it, why not. Actually, I’d like to try some of them too ))

Kaiju Big Battel

Kaiju Big Battel is a series of performances which are actually parodies of both professional wrestling and the tokusatsu kaiju movies of Japan. These Battels are presented in the style of professional wrestling events, with the costumed performers playing the roles of giant, city-crushing monsters similar to Godzilla and Gamera.

Cardboard-Tube Dueling

Cardboard-Tube Dueling is tournaments and battles where cardboard tube fighters go head-to-head in an attempt to break their opponents tube without breaking their own. The events also focus on cardboard costumes and theatrics. These events are often held at public parks throughout the summer, are open to everyone ages 5 and up, and emphasize fun over competition.

Underwater Hockey

The Mud-Pit Belly Flop

The Mud-Pit Belly Flop is an activity during the Rednecks Games.

Bossaball

Bossaball is a sport invented in Belgium. It is similar to volleyball, but also includes elements of football (soccer), gymnastics and capoeira. Each side of the court has an integrated trampoline, allowing players to bounce high enough to spike the ball, and a number of inflatable barriers.

Snow Polo

Pig-N-Ford Racing

In Tillamook, Oregon, pigs are carried on old Ford Model T cars while racing around a horse track at the Tillamook County Fair. While the driver is riding he has no right to let go of a pig, if so, he loses. If you manage to move three pigs around the track, you win.

Pillow Fight League

It is a Toronto-based semi-professional sports league centered around public pillow fights. The tongue in cheek women's sport is hosted in a fighting arena, much like a boxing or wrestling match.

Urban Golf

Blind Soccer

Teams in this internationally sanctioned sport consist of four blind athletes and one sighted or visually impaired goalkeeper. Additionally, teams have a guide who stands behind the opponent's goal to direct the players where to shoot. The field is surrounded by a wall, which means no throw-ins, so the action remains fairly intense through each 25-minute half. [Time]

It is a series of competitions that need you to be fit in both body and spirit in order to survive one-day training ordeal. It is physically challenging, mentally demanding, fear inducing and spectacular to see. You can play individually as well as in a team.
