Everyone knows about the swings at the children's playground. This is the adult version.
Most popular in Estonia, this form of swinging involves standing on a platform of a swing with solid arms, and swinging so hard you loop over the top of the swing. There are competitions for this, where everyone goes through and swings to the top, then the arms of the swing get lengthened and everyone goes through again.
This is from the Atlas Obscura link below, and was subtitled 'Kiikers Gonna Kiik', which I kinda love.
Kiik is Estonian for Swing, so that makes sense, and this is one of the sports that I fully expect will get big worldwide in not to long. If you want to know more, there are links below, and I hope you have fun with it. Please do not try to kiik with any swing not set up for it specifically, or try to make a swing to kiik with without expert advice. This can be very dangerous if you aren't careful. There are videos on youtube if you want to see more too, and I hope you have fun with it. I'll see you again soon.
