People, alone or with a second human, throw themselves off bouncy and non bouncy slab into water whilst making pretty shapes in the air.

You lob a stone across an icy pond and sweep up after it.

leeverarch · 27/07/2024 19:33

You sit on a horse while it does stuff with its feet.

Mysterian · 27/07/2024 19:34

You snuggle up with a cannonball, which you then suddenly hate and want it as far away as possible.

MigGirl · 27/07/2024 19:35

A bunch of people run around a field with sticks trying to get a ball into a net.

Howtoeatanelephant · 27/07/2024 19:35

You try to stab someone but are thwarted by a bit of elastic

GrandHighPoohbah · 27/07/2024 19:35

You leap into a lake, swim about for a bit, get out, run up to a bicycle, putting on a pair of shoes as you go, go for a bike ride then, still in your swimming costume, you go for a run.

I can’t work this one out…

These are great, keep them coming.

You get on a horse and take literally the worst route round a field of fences.

user1471538275 · 27/07/2024 19:37

You pretend you're a spartan taking someone down from a distance.

Fencing?

StripedPiggy · 27/07/2024 19:38

You throw a spear as far as you can while hoping not to kill anyone.

Brilliant. A perfect description!

StormingNorman · 27/07/2024 19:38

Running in circles with a couple of mates.

ErrolTheDragon · 27/07/2024 19:38

You have to get to the other side of a high bar, instead of going under or using a ladder you use a bendy pole and somehow hurl yourself over backwards

user1471538275 · 27/07/2024 19:39

You avoid drowning whilst looking pretty with friends.

Chypre · 27/07/2024 19:39

Taking turns in hitting projectile made of plastic feathers with spades made of strings.

Sherrystrull · 27/07/2024 19:40

You run forward fast carrying a long sharp pointy thing. At a random point you stab it hard in the ground and hang on for dear life, careering through the sky, hopefully over a pole supported by other poles and then land on a soft thing having chucked your pointy thing away.

Halsall · 27/07/2024 19:40

You jump into a pit of sand but before that you intentionally make the jump shorter by interrupting yourself with a skip halfway through

butterpuffed · 27/07/2024 19:40

You whirl your arms around as fast as you can while you wiggle your toes . Water is involved .

Sunbird24 · 27/07/2024 19:41

You run as fast as you can to give your mate a stick, then they give it to another mate, who takes it to someone else, they then give it to a fourth person, who brings it back to where it started from.

Halsall · 27/07/2024 19:42

You jump into a swimming pool and dance with a load of other people while trying not to drown.

ErrolTheDragon · 27/07/2024 19:42

You stand on a board floating on water holding a wing made of fabric and hope it's windy

StripedPiggy · 27/07/2024 19:43

You sit on a horse & prance around a bit. Someone scores you, but nobody really understands how. Then you run around a big field jumping fences & trying not to fall off into the lake, only to end up back where you started. You then cheerfully demolish a course of poles suspended on sticks, and the rider who demolishes the course most efficiently wins a gold medal.

Apolloneuro · 27/07/2024 19:43

You do roly polys in the air whilst dangling on rings.
