New London Extreme Sports

If you crave the excitement of snow-boarding or jumping off bridges hooked up to an elastic band you should join the new formed sport of Extreme Tube Racing. As described by a group of new-to-london 18 year old students:
You start in a pub, are given a route which involves stopping at named pubs to have a pint (nothing new in this yet) but each pub is at a different stop on the underground. The journey will require you to get around the route as quickly as possible and the route will be chosen for its line changes and long interchanges at stations. By any means necessary be the first - if this means sliding down escalator handrails, pushing people out of the way, charging down and up steps, so be it. Judges will reside in every venue to check the drinking aspect is adhered to.

And I knew I was getting old becuase I was thinking, oh but think of the health and safety - drunker and drunker and rushing around on the tube - someone will get hurt. Sigh. Oh to be that carefree again - the beginning of university not a care in the world, no responsibilities and the most difficult problem solving aspect of the week will be the logistics of such a sport. And then again I think because I grew up in London the underground never seemed such an amazing playground.

I'm adding it to the old favourite Bus Surfing - Everyone stands in a line in the aisle on the top deck of a bus. You must not hold on. Stand as if on a surfboard. Ride the bus as it swings round corners, passes other cars, stops suddenly etc. Aim is to stay standing. And its very important that at least one of the party hums the Hawai-5-O theme tune.
