Cheese rolling…… not for the faint hearted.

This event happens 5 miles away from my house, even when I was young and daft I wasn’t daft enough to have a go at this.

how many pints are required to achieve that degree of flexibility, grace, and physical resilience (not to mention stark raving fearlessness)? :cheers:

I assume that hill is steeper than it looks, and they wait till it rains, or they purposely wet it down? :dontknow:

What is the prize, assuming there is a winner (first to reach the bottom, alive)?

Is the local ambulance on standby? I used to race motorcycles. I never won. I have a strong aversion to breaking things inside my body. The guys who did win, more often than not, sooner or later, they got to ride in the ambulance.

One of the prizes, different categories of entrants different races.

It’s very steep, st Johns ambulance crews are there and a rescue helicopter is on standby.

One year a guy came from Japan to enter a race, he broke his neck. :(

Must be some hellacious cheese... :thinking:

I've got to ask......Before this started did someone yell "Hey look at this?". That's what Buba's do.

[WarriorRob]

I think if they had some extra weight they could just roll on down the hill:smiley_ROFLMAO:

I think that guy in the red shirt broke his wrist?

It must be an optical illusion to watch it from that camera angle because it doesn't look steep at all?

[Physics Hunter]

A goodly amount of drinking before, and on til you drop amount after...

This is the nearest pub on the shurdington road methinks?

We have these things called Coolers...

Hills never look as steep as they are till you get about halfway up.

In all likely hood free beer and the hope of getting laid. A lot.

Yeah, we've never done any of that... :smiley_ROFLMAO:

[Physics Hunter]

The older you get the more it takes.

The older you get the more you watch and enjoy the libations.

I had to get my FAA Physical done today. We discussed my medical history and I said, Football, Rodeo, Racing Motorcycles, breaking horses, Jumping out of airplanes and getting shot at and blown up.

He asked how much of that involved excess alcohol. ... I told him enough that by the time I reached thirty I decided I'd had enough for three lifetimes and quit.:smiley_ROFLMAO:

The older I get the more kick I get out of watching drunks and asking myself if I was ever that bad... .

I gave the kids/family a short list of times that I probably should have died, they were speechless.

Oddly, only one involved alcohol.

Apparently we were not.

You led a much cleaner life than I. Oddly enough most of my near death experiences were times I was completely sober as well. At least those I can remember.

[Wildrose]

Apparently we were not.

Admittedly for about a ten year span I was worse than most. I'm not an alcoholic but I never saw the sense in drinking at all if I wasn't going to get slobbering drunk.

Fortunately I survived it and grew up.

I doubt it, just different.

[Wildrose]

I doubt it, just different.

You're a much better man than I am so I'd be really surprised if you didn't.

Thanks, but I doubt I deserve it.
