In the rolling countryside near Gloucester, England, stands the now-famous Cooper’s Hill. One day each spring, people send large wheels of artisanal Double Gloucester cheese down the hill at speeds up to about 70 miles per hour. Chasing each wheel is a pack of contestants. Some of them roll, while others just fall over. Long a contained, local affair, over time the Cooper’s Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake (meaning festival) started drawing international crowds to watch or compete in this seriously risky game. In the May 2018 event, Chris “King of the Hill” Anderson set the all-time record, with a career total of 22 cheese wheels. Ending the day without mishaps, although the longtime cheese racer has been injured in past years. And Flo Early, winner of the 2018 women’s competition, did dislocate her shoulder. No longer officially supported because of increased crowds, the cheese race continues on its own momentum.

I can imagine people having a picnic at the top of the hill and then one guy accidentally drops a cheese wheel and it rolls down the hill and the guy is like "yo i just had a crazy idea"
I bet their moms would be proud…

How nobody gets killed is a real mystery. The cheese must have some kind of Wolverine healing power !!!
Is this what Chris O’Neil was talking about on the SleepyCabin podcast?
I mean, a career total of 22 cheese wheels? I don’t understand why Olympic athletes are respected and celebrated when this exists as well
THIS IT A BIT *STUPID*
-_- BUT , IF THEY WANT TO HAVE SOME PAIN THAT IS DUME
Some humans has acquired so little information during life… It's so sad
All my life I have searched for meaning and purpose and I think I may have found it. A pure competition that combines my love of drunken face plants and cheese.
Now watch this like its a ton of people trying to re-create something they saw from Wallace and Gromit and horribly failing due to real-life physics.
