New Sport?

[Mac]

This is just insane...

How about a little volleyball this summer? How about not using your hands or arms?

Say what?

Say hello to Sepak Takraw, a sport so impossible that a pickup game between you and your friends would almost undoubtedly end in a 0-0 tie.

Here's how it's done:

It's like, ultimate hacky-sack (sp?).

Here is a game that's equally ridiculous. Mix 1 part Bumper Cars with 1 part Jai Lai, and you've got Whirley Ball.

Best part is, they let you drink beers while you're not playing. And if you swing your stick at any other players, you can be put in a penalty zone.
Ramming players and driving wildly is highly encouraged.

I played WhirlyBall once, it was a good time. It's hard to complete passes with that curved basket you hold, but it's always fun to blast the car of the guy with the ball.

That looks like a sport that will be pretty popular for college intramurals, and a lot of fun, too. The scoring is a little complex, but that's what scoreboards are for.

I was watching Takraw highlights on Wide World of Sports back in the 80s. This isn't a new sport.

I think it'll blow quidditch out of the water -- or whatever the ficitonal game is called.

Wow, Kronum looks SWEET. I'd love to play

Neither one is "new", but not common here:

I remember seeing this in Germany and would have loved to play:

I'd love to play this as well:

Ultimate Frisbee is a lot of fun. Handball would be a blast to play as well. Man I need to find somewhere that has leagues for this stuff

Definitely looks like an intense time.

A little bit of soccer and then dunking on people to score?! I'd love to get in on that.

Of course, there's always the classic...
