10 World’s Strangest Extreme Sports You Didn’t Know Existed (2 of 6)

Toe Wrestling (UK)

Let’s give this arm-wrestling’s smelly cousin a warm welcome. It’s exactly what you think it is: two players lock big toes and try to pin the other’s foot for best-of-three rounds, switching feet between sweaty bouts. Legend says it started in a UK pub in the ’70s to crown a homegrown “world champion.” It’s ridiculous, highly competitive, especially after a pint or two, and way harder than it looks. Also, watch out for the foot fungus!

Bossaball (Global)

Have you ever wondered what a volleyball match would look like if it had gymnastic elements and was played on a giant inflatable court with built-in trampolines? You can pass the ball with any body part and launch yourself sky-high for really cool and cinematic spikes. Points for creativity, control, and flips that would make your PE teacher weep with pride. Add a bouncy samba beat, and it’s basically a beach party with points.
