30. Worm Charming

You would never have guessed a sport that actually involves worms, except probably for fishing. Worm charming is a sport where contestants compete to coax as many worms as they can from a patch of soil in 30 minutes. How serious is this sport? Let’s just say that an annual event called World Worm Charming Championships has been held in South Devon, England for more than three decades now.

31. Volcano Surfing

Don’t cringe just yet, volcano surfing doesn’t entail surfing inside a volcano, only on the slopes. Volcano surfers use a surfboard to cruise down the slope of a volcano, much like sandboarding. What makes this game really exciting is when it is held on an active volcano, talk about lava and gases to make the course much more challenging.
