      @embrace the suck 21 here's a little info about the International Birdman..
      The International Birdman is a series of two English competitions held in the West Sussex towns of Bognor Regis and Worthing. The competition which involves human 'birdmen' attempting to fly off the end of a pier into the sea for prize money. The event began in 1971 and has always been held on piers in West Sussex, on the south coast of England. It is the oldest Birdman Rally in the world.
      We really hope you do a reaction vid to it.

    The Goodwood Festival Of Speed Hill Climb is a great one to watch. Kind of the opposite of this in that it's very fast and technically advanced vehicles going up hill quickly, rather than technically basic vehicles going downhill relatively slowly!

      Also, for a similar kind of "people having disasters for our entertainment" kind of vibe, check out Takeshi's Castle. It's a Japanese gameshow that started (I think) in the 70's and ran until the early 00's (may still be on today for all I know) but there's also a version which has commentary by Craig Charles who is British so there's kind of a British link to it in that way as well.

I just looked and Cincinnati and Atlanta seem to be the nearest ones to you guys.
