Such mainstream sports as football, soccer, tennis, golf, baseball and basketball are loved by the many. On the other hand, there are less popular kinds of sports that attract fans by their weirdness and individual peculiarities. I am sure you have never heard of most of them. So, today I will surprise you by telling the secrets of the most amazing sports and competitions in the world.
Sports with no Cloths
It is socially unacceptable to play nude in many parts of the world. Of course, there are exceptions such as different events organized by nudists including the World Naked Bike Ride. On the other hand, many cultures that live in tropics have a custom of playing sports with no clothes on at all. Naked sports have their own popular championships, for instance, the International Nudist Swimming Gala, the Alps Adria Meeting and the International Naturist Sports Week.
Bossaball
In 2004 this kind of sports was founded by Filip Eyckmans in Spain. The game has common features with volleyball, but also contains the elements of gymnastics, football and capoeira. The game is played between two teams, each including 3-5 players. It is really a spectacular game because it is held on an inflatable court with circular trampolines that allow players to jump high when kicking the ball.
