Top 10 Weird Sports Listed

We are all aware of popular sports, yet there are some sports that are not well known, but have a universal popularity.
Urban Golf If you don't want to stroll around the golf green and get all that healthy exercise, there is another little known alternative, Urban golf. This is where the participants attack an innocent warehouse wall with their golf ball.
Bike Polo The only way to play polo is on bikes, when you don't have any horses. This rapidly growing sport is quickly developing an international competitive calendar.
Unicycle Sport Once seen only in circuses, or on stage, the unicycle has become a universal phenomenon. From mountain racing to acrobats and balancing acts, to unicycle hockey, the one wheeler has become an overnight marvel.
Roller Derby Players Roller Derby pride themselves on their mixture of punk grit and attitude, plus real athletic ability. The women's Flat-Track Derby Association hosted its roller derby's first national championship tournament in 2007. Wife Carrying Wife carrying sport, first created in Finland, is where male competitors race while carrying a female team mate on their back. The goal is for the male to carry the female, whose job is to help maintain the balance, through a specially built obstacle course, in the quickest time. The carrying holds vary from fireman's carry, piggyback, to Estonian style, where the lady hangs on upside-down, with her legs clasped around her partner's shoulders, as she clings on to his waist. Major competitions are held in Wisconsin, Sonkajarvi, Finland, Monona and in Marquette, Michigan.
The prize is the female's weight in beer, in Finland.
