Here's the blog and results of the contest:

I decided not to put this in sports because it's just an insane event that not many know about outside of the UK, and everyone that doesn't like sports will like this.

OMG that shit's so cool! There should be an event in game like this, with wormholes that speed up your ship like a hill! (and you have a hill as a graphics) WOOT

[PaulOakenfold]

so basically everyone goes down the hill at the same time and everyone wins?

[PH]

next time europeans criticize our sports for being barbaric and unsophisticated just remind them that they throw themselves down a hill to win some cheese

oh yeah, i'm derailing this shit, who wants some

[PaulOakenfold]

so basically everyone goes down the hill at the same time and everyone wins?

First one to the bottom wins, everyone else gets cheese ^-^

[Downfall]

Does the winner get anything. If not i'd rather lose and get me some cheese.

[PaulOakenfold]

The winner gets the cheese. 2nd place gets 10 quid and 3rd gets 5.

LOL at the fat bloke.

This is one of those stupid heritage things people do for very little reward. It started off as a local thing for the people of that village, but as it gained notoriety when TV was invented, and people started travelling from all over. They sell Double Gloucester in Tesco for christ's sake, no need to paralyse yourself.

But, we have rugby too which is arguably more barbaric, yet somehow more gentlemanly.

It's a strange country.

[phata$$]

Looks fun.

I especially love how they just run right into those catchers. They get brutally tossed down the hill, then they get tackled abruptly.

[PaulOakenfold]

Haha yeah. If you read the blog it mentions that they're rugby players and it's all part of the fun
