What Is The Sport Of Kiiking?

YouTube Preview Image

Kiiking sure looks like a lot of fun.

This YouTube video shows you a crazy, and cool, new sport. It’s called Kiiking. And it was invented in Estonia. Kiik means swing in Estonian.

We all remember pumping away on the schoolyard swing set. You imagined you could swing all the way around the bar. Well, Kiiking makes that dream possible. It’s a standing swing with stiff, steel arms. When strapped in, you can swing 360-degrees around.

But Kiiking is more than a just a good time. It’s a sport. The longer the arms, the harder it is to get around. So the inventor put telescoping arms on the swing. Players take turns swinging. The person who can do it with the longest arms wins. I want one in my backyard!
