Fairly self explanatory if you watch the video. There is a long sand hill with a downhill course of a small trench dug going down it. A heat of marbles is simultaneously released and raise down the course. There are a series of rounds.

Ferret Legging

"In the sport of ferret-legging, competitors tie their trousers at the ankles before placing two ferrets inside and securely fastening their belts to prevent the ferrets from escaping.

...In addition, competitors are not allowed to wear underwear beneath their trousers..."

Rugby


NCAA Rugby 7's is great. I would watch it if it were on tv more than once a year.

Yes, but can competitors modify the marbles to try to gain an advantage for a particular course or is it purely luck?

I agree on dirt track racing with sprints, midgets and drag racing. I would also like to see arm wrestling especially when someone breaks their arm. Lumberjack competitions. More extreme strong man. Like I want to see guys lift cans of paint with their wieners.

You can probably find that with some googling if that's your fetish.

Rowing.

Weightlifting.

Wrestling. The real kind, not WWE.

Soeed skating, and cross country skiing.

Adventure racing. This used to be a thing, but for some reason it faded out.

Best Ranger, and similar competitions involving military-LEO-firefighter skills.

I used to really enjoy world's strongest man competitions. Sailing is also kind of cool to watch.

Also, not obscure, but I'd like more tennis and nhl on the channels I get.
