Unusual But Popular Sports

Millions of people around the world take up interesting hobbies. Some of these hobbies are very common, for example, collecting items, reading, fishing, gardening, etc.

However, some people are bored with these hobbies. They want something different, so they come up with interesting and different ideas.

Here are two unusual but popular hobbies or sports. Extreme ironing was the hobby of a few athletes, which turned into a professional sport. It mixes extreme sports and ironing!

Athletes climb a mountain, raft in a river or jump from a plane while ironing a piece of clothing on an ironing board. 

This hobby became so popular that there are extreme ironing competitions around the world.

My advice: Don’t try extreme ironing at home! Learn an extreme sport first, then try extreme ironing! Stone skipping is very popular among teenage boys, but some people do it as a hobby or even a sport. There are stone skipping competitions, and some people try to set world records.

All you need for this sport is a flat stone and an area of water like a lake, river or sea. Stone skippers throw a flat stone to the water as hard as possible. They want to see how many times the stone bounces on the water before it sinks.

 

My advice: Warm up your arm before doing this!
