    Radball is what you’re looking for. It’s soccer on fixed gear bicycles, you can only touch the ball with your bike (except the goalie), and you can’t let your feet touch the ground.

    Horse horse racing. Via elaborate saddle arrangements, a small jockey rides atop a small horse. That small horse then rides atop a large horse. It’s all the animal cruelty of regular horse racing, but squared.

        I mean, I suppose this is at a minimum more ethical than conventional horse racing. Right to any kind of dignity aside, at the very least yours seems to present little risk of injury to the horse. Now, you would probably want the horses trained to just go rag doll when picked up. But could you train the horse to do that ethically? That seems so counter to a horse’s natural instincts that I imagine it might be impossible to train without some serious animal cruelty. But, then again, I know nothing about horse training. Maybe there’s someone out there who could figure out how to train that behavior through non-violent, reward-based conditioning methods, or other ethical training models.

    League of Legends Swan Dive. Every time you die you get thrown off a cliff and have to recover gracefully and run back to the computer and avoid shorting it

      Are footballs durable enough? I’d imagine that a game of kicking a ball with shoes strapped to somewhat sharp pieces of metal might require multiple spare balls—and players.
