Cheese Rolling
Once again, we visit the beautiful country of England to look at one of their most obscure sports ever! A sport that is growing in popularity every year called Cheese Rolling!
The sport adds up to one single event, the Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake! This event is the championship of cheese rolling where around 500 people show up and pay the 20 Pound entry fee to run down a hill at a block of Double Gloucester Cheese. The Cheese can reach speeds of up to 70 miles per hour! Essentially it turns into who can finish first since noone has ever successfully gotten the cheese.

Love it! Cheese rolling ALWAYS makes the Not Top 10 on SportsCenter. Any chance we see the whole thing televised in the States anytime soon?
