Gloucestershire Cheese Rolling is better than the Olympics, the best sports event ever, actually.

From the top of the hill a round of Double Gloucester cheese is rolled, and competitors race down the hill after it. The first person over the finish line at the bottom of the hill wins the cheese.

Some people dream of warm beaches, I want to see people hurt themselves chasing cheese.

Some real opportunities for photoshops with that cheese. I can see this getting big play on gaming side.

Holy shit at the guy in the white shirt on the right at 0:27 (in the first video)... I'm surprised no one got more seriously hurt.

Found this in the related videos.
Japanese ride a tree trunk down a hill as part of some festival, looks like a great way to get crushed by a massive tree!

This is even crazier than the OP. Oh, Japan, thanks for the gifs! edit: wiki link for the curious http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onbashira

edit: more googling led me to this article from the Daily Mail, where the comments section seems to indicate that the Gloucestershire Cheese Rolling tradition is now banned. Good thing we still have videos though!

This year's: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GdVnzDFyLg

At the very end:
Participant - "I bruised my kidneys last year."
Spectator - "Why do you do it?"
Participant - "It's tradition."
Spectator - "Do you like the cheese?"
Spectator - *shakes his head* "Can't stand the stuff."

Seems like silly fun I suppose.
