    The labcoats for shin kicking is to detect whether they kick the enemy's upper body: the dirt from their feet will be visible there.

      That's both stupid and brilliant. I mean, shins are nowhere near the torso, but I suppose a labcoat hangs long. Something like a kilt would make far more sense anatomically, though.

      Yes, it'd be interesting to know the rules of Fireball, but no-one else would watch it. And as a guy who's earning from ad revenues, this is important.

    Dog Surfing just sounds like a good way to lose your pet dog. Shin Kicking, Wife Carrying, Quidditch and Card Board Tube Duelling put a smile on my face. Sepak Takraw actually looks pretty cool though.
    Some other odd sports I've heard of include Toe Wrestling (like thumb wrestling, but...well, you probably get the idea) and Elephant Polo.

    • @NinhLyUK
      @NinhLyUK  9 лет назад

      PhillipRottingham I kinda thought that about Dog Surfing, but apparently they have lifeguards on hand, just in case they wipe-out. And yes, Sepak Takraw actually looks quite fun to play (as does Fireball, but maybe that's just me).I've heard of toe wrestling and elephant polo, but I thought that those 10 were the top 10 weirdest ones!

    Sepak Takraw & Caber tossing looked quite impressive especially Sepak Takraw which I think is most popular among Odia people in Odisha (still not nearly as popular as in SE Asia) in India & possibly the whole Subcontinent. You should probably do a separate video on Highlands Games.
    Wife Carrying, Chess Boxing & Cardboard Tube Duelling as bizarre as they looked still appeared to be quite fun & amusing.
    Blind Football was interesting & perhaps you can add Blind Cricket which I think is an officially recognised form of Cricket by icc but it's played by the blind & I don't think people able to see play it (at least not in organised matches).
    Shin Kicking & Quidditch were just too bizarre for me to react. But Quidditch looked really funny.
    Fireball too scary. In Maharashtra, in few villages (probably 1 or 2) they've something just as scary or more dangerous where once in a year villagers gather & form 2 teams & sort of role play some historical even (I guess) & attack each other with actual rocks. It has became a game for them.

    • @NinhLyUK

      Ninh Ly Yes I saw that. Very impressive sport & I liked the video.
      A video on Highland Games would be fun to watch too & may be other such games like I think there are Gaelic Games. Videos on tournaments & games famous & not so famous could be a good idea (unless you've already made such videos).

Throwing a cannonball down the road, chasing a cheese down a steep muddy slope, and doing flips over a charging bull along with riding a log down a steep hill are definitely worthy of this list

    Sepak takraw: looks awesome, and it may also look easy but it’s hard (remember it’s not as easy as it looks or how you think, but it’s takes time to master it)
    Shin kicking: uhhh... English martial arts, why not wear martial art uniform and shin guards, kinda ridiculous, please forgive me England...
    Caber tossing: getting it to land on the 12 o clock position is somewhat challenging but overall pretty intresting
    Quidditch: hmmmm seems a little silly, but I guess it’s for the athletic people and/or Harry Potter fans :) (smiley face)
    Wife carrying: no cash prize or any prize?, just your wife serving beer, this is not for me, I do not drink beer.
    Chess boxing: for the fittest and the smartest, I could make up a sport like that, Pokémon trading card game karate ;) (winking face)
    Dog surfing: that’s not how it works... (this one episode of rescue 911 there was a dog that rescued a drowning boy from the water)
    Unicycle football: why does this sport exist, actually never mind...

    Sepak takraw is not from Indonesia bro . Its from malaysia and Thailand . Sepak means kick and takraw is the ball . The traditional one is Sepak raga (same like takraw but use different materials for the ball) but after being modernization with Sepak Takraw Thailand style its become the current sepak takraw that we all know now . Indonesia dont have any right to say its come from their country . Sepak Takraw is played by Malay and Thai King to gamble or entertainment .

      Traditionally yes. I think it was a way to limit the amount of time a raider spends during a raid. But now that clocks and stopwatches are commonplace - there are some leagues that don't enforce the breath rule and opt for a 30 second time limit instead.
