Great but under appreciated sports of the world.

The Gloucester Cheese Rolling competition is a 200 year old sporting event in Gloucester, England where hundreds of drunken British people chase a 7lb wheel of Gloucestershire cheese down a steep hill. The first one down gets to keep the wheel of cheese but the competition is ferocious with pushing, shoving, falling, and broken bones all common. Here is a short video of the 2009 Gloucester Cheese Rolling Competition.
