Things not going well at 2022 Jubilee Cheese Rolling Contest

Featured Replies

Quote

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.  

I wanted to this so badly in my 20s. 
Now in my 30s, i like the idea of not being a ragdoll

My anxiety is at an 11/10 when I watch these youtube videos. Seriously stresses my body out, I can just feel the injuries I would have by watching.

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

seems like watching porn would work well for you...

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.

 

 

Random tiger pit with possible busted collarbone at 4:41 was gnarly.

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.
