Shot BOOM!
"Big Dane Sorensen has launched another world record!" | |
Shot Putt is one of those sports that looks so easy, yet is so hard to do. Trouble is, it's also not a terribly exciting spectator sport.
Solution? Make the shot explosive, and part of the routine is that the athlete and officials have to dive into bunkers as the shot lands.
Targets (holes about
double the shot's diameter, marked with a fluoro-dyed ring) are arranged in a fan pattern in front of the 'putter. Hitting one of those will get you a brightly coloured fountain of paint, as the shot explodes.
Danger, sport and explosions. Cold beer, anyone?

I like the concept behind this idea, except i think it would never be allowed except in underground nightclubs. Sports officials would have nothing to do with something that would easily put someone's career to an end. |
|
| |
I'm leaving my vote at neutral however because i like the idea of the officials participating. I'd like to see some sports incorporate this. |
|

I love it. Demolition derby, anyone? Even better if they get scored based on how many targets they can destroy with one throw. |

\\Sports officials would have nothing to do with something that would easily put someone's career to an end.\\ Sarcasm, I presume? |

exploding javelins to follow? + |
|
| |
No... that's just silly... |
|
| |
A quick game of Pass The Cannonball anyone? |
|
| |
like a hand grenade? remove pin, count to 5 and throw? |
|
| |
Nice. There should be targets to destroy for extra points too |
|
| |
Like a hand grenade, [po], only a lot heavier. |
|
| |
PS. Never count to anything after you've removed the pin from a grenade. That's a good way to end up fragged. Just throw the fucker away, as quickly as you can. |
|
| |
Thanks, [hippo]. I'll add those. |
|
| |
[UB], I'm pretty sure a _real_ man would count, as Monty Python suggested, to three. No further, mind. Neither count thou two, unless thou proceedest to three. |
|
| |
I count pretty damn quick with one of these babies in my hand, I assure you! |
|
| |
Up to five, in multiples of ten? |
|
| |
Timing is essential for maximum target disruption. This makes this sport a game of multi-tasking, for whilst one is counting, it is also recommended that one be praying. |
