sometimes you see a sport for the first time and be amazed/puzzled. post your findings, thoughts and questions.

I think somebody might be trying to cash in on the pickleball craze

I can say that it's quite new for me also. I've heard about it only this year. A couple of weeks ago I wanted to play it with a couple of friends but we arrived at the court with 2-3 hours too early so we decided to go bowling. Anyway I still want to try it

Resembles a cross between squash and tennis. The balls used are comparable to regular tennis balls but with a bit less pressure, and scoring is the same. The primary distinctions are that squash is played with solid, stringless bats and that tennis is played on a court with walls that allows balls to be played off of them similarly to squash. The ball must be served at its height at or below the waist. Its super fun to watch, just checkt out some old championship games. :cool: (y)

I wonder what sport we are talking about. What sport did you see for the first time?
I watched the video you posted and I can also say that this is my first time seeing this sport.

Chess-boxing ... you lose by either getting ko'ed or checkmated. If it would be more popular, it could grow into the most ... holistic sport ever (no sarcasm), since it combines brains and brawns.

in theory, a pro heavyweight boxer could just KO most of the opponents, and only has to know basic chess to not get mated quickly.

Aah, that must be the reason this sport isn't more popular! 😅

I invite you to watch videos about the sport of my country, the national ponytail. Basically it is about kicking bulls from a horse, at some point in our history it went from being something that our plains entertained themselves with to being a national sport of Venezuela. It is a risky sport. Where you have to be very skillful and have a lot of strength and nerve of steel to be able to kick bulls of up to 500kg. I invite everyone to watch videos of coleados bulls in Venezuela.
