Friends React To Cheese Rolling

[@metalrainbow2728]

Great reaction! You guys made me laugh :) It's a competition held every year in Gloucestershire, England. They win no money or get paid; the first person to reach the bottom wins the Cheese and that's it! They have the local rugby team at the bottom to catch them, and there are a lot of injuries each year. Also the hill they go down is far more steep than any photo/video can show; some parts of it are basically a sheer drop!

You cannot run down a hill that steep without falling and rolling, They do it for fun!

[@XENONEOMORPH1979]

Some facts about this event The cheese is no longer a real cheese wheel It still weights 3kg and made of rubber foam and is exchanged for a real wheel of cheese with the winners There are several races The local police threatened the cheese producers that selling the event organisers the cheese could have legal consequences even though it was only a prize and no longer actually rolled So now every year the event organisers dress in fancy dress so that even though the producers suspect it is them they are selling too they still couldn't be sure and so can't be held responsible by law The cheese can hit an impressive 70 to 80 mph The people taking part can tumble at 20 to 70 mph and in very rare cases catch the cheese that has a small head start (I think one second) The acceleration of the cheese can vary massively The origins are not well know and the reason behind it is always contested however we do know it's been going on for a real Long time Supposedly somewhere around 1826 The last few years have seen record numbers after the attempted banning of the event The event claims winners from new Zealand to America but more often than not it is a local who wins the majority of races They race up the hill for nothing more than fun before racing down But the uphill run anyone including kids can join in In fact you could say the uphill run is mostly for kids From memory the most times it has been won is 8 by the guy in the yellow long sleeve top that won in this video The locals are extremely aggressive about winning this and pride themselves on having at least one wheel in the pub afterwards for a snack while getting totally s}{¡T faced They race the cheese down the hill more for pride than the cheese it's self And the rugby team stand at the bottom the act as a safety net But beware if you look a bit too fresh at the bottom they Will SLAM YOU and I still want to have a go 🤠 Great reaction Somehow nobody has ever died from this event as far as records and legend shows Great reaction Please remember that hill/near cliff is so much steeper than it look Even when the toughest of the tough turn up 3 out of 4 get to the top look down and say hell no I would recommend of you haven't already React to Atherstone football Literally around a thousand on each team The most of the town's shops bord their windows up for what can only be described as full contact game of something you can questionably call a version of football crossed with royal rumble wrestling Its literally mayhem Word to the wise do not park your car in town for this one And the isle of mann TT And the isle of mann TT sidecars
