And it's actually a sport, with an objective measurement: whoever gets across the finish line first wins. Doesn't matter if you cross it standing up, or on your rear end, as long as you get there before the others. No style points, no trying to influence the judges with music or sparkly outfits.

There's also a summer version, done on dirt bikes, that's just as exciting.
