The World Bog Snorkeling Championship has been held along the dense Waen Rhydd Peat bog near Llanwrtyd Wells, in Powys, Wales since 1985. It may be a world championships, but you can see on this video that not all competitors take it seriously. Competitors need to complete a return swim along the 55m bog lap, with no conventional swimming strokes allowed. Goggles and flippers are essential though if you want to go anywhere.

Two-Handed Tennis
August 15th, 2010 · No Comments · Tennis, Unusual
Two-Racket Tennis sounds unusual, but makes a lot of sense. If you have a pretty poor backhand, why not hold a racket in each hand and just hit forehands all day. You will also have a greater reach and reduce arm fatigue and be better balanced. It just cost a little more having to buy and extra tennis racket.

I thought luge on ice was crazy. The sport of Street Luge, where they race down a hill with no barriers at 80 mph and 2 inches of the ground is more crazier! This is a profile of street luge champion Biker Sherlock, which shows just what it is like to street luge.

Another unusual extreme sport from New Zealand, Zorb Ball Extreme Sport (Zorbing) is taking a little while to catch on, but looks like a lot of fun. I dont really know if it is a sport if you just roll down a hill in a ball. Is it a race to the bottom?
