Fierljeppen - Canal vaulting in Holland

[mikeytr1]

'Fierljeppen' as it's known in the Netherlands dates back hundreds of years, at first simply as a way to navigate the water-filled land.

Now there's a non-profit organisation that hosts 22 rounds of Fierljeppen competitions.

Check out this crazy sporting event here! Looks like alot of fun!
