British Shin Kicking Championship video from http://www.soglos.com. The British Shin Kicking Championships take place every year in Gloucestershire as part of the Cotswold Olimpick Games. Competitors stuff their trousers with straw to protect their shins - which receive a hard battering from opponents whose aim is to unstable their rival before throwing them to the ground. Thousands turn up to watch the competitive and brutal sport - while many a brave shin kicker can be seen limping away, covered in mud. The 2008 winner, Steve 'The Bulldog', can be seen at the end of the video being lifted by supporters, after a gruelling evening of knocking out several components.

Gloucestershire Cheese Rolling 2008 video from http://www.soglos.com. Death-defying clips from the 2008 Cooper's Hill Cheese Rolling and Wake, where every year fearless competitors from around the world tumble down an almost vertical hill in Gloucester, UK, chasing an 8lb Double Gloucester Cheese. It can never really be caught as it reaches breakneck speeds but the first person to cross the line at the bottom of the hill wins the coveted cheese. Thousands of spectators turned up to watch again this year, and there were also a few of the usual injuries. Thankfully St John's Ambulances were on hand to whisk the casualties away to the local hospital. See http://www.soglos.com to find out more.
