Via Boing Boing and a bunch of completely insane divers in Austria, this has got to be in the Top 10 for craziest extreme sports in the world:
VIDEO: Yeah, You’ve Played Hockey, But Have You Played UNDERWATER?
↵
↵Some equally insane liner notes:
- ↵↵“Under ice hockey” is played just like regular hockey, except with 10 minute periods, and a 10 minute break between periods so that divers can warm up.
- ↵Players compete without oxygen tanks or anything helpful like that, and they have to surface for air approximately every 30 seconds.
- ↵There are four refs and they all have oxygen tanks.
- ↵“It is extremely difficult not to get disoriented during the action,” says one man.
↵Disoriented by playing upside down hockey in freezing cold water? You don’t say!
↵↵Anyway, these Austrians just one-upped every trick shot video, ever, but just for the sake of perspective, even if disaster were to strike under the ice there, nobody’s topping Raaaaaaaandy and the most baller death of all time.
↵UNDER-WAAAAAAAAATER!
