Stick poh is the first sport mentioned in The House at Pooh Corner cartoon, Winnie the Pooh book by A.A Milne. This sport is very simple, can be played on the bridge under which there is water flow. Each player throws a stick on the upstream side of the bridge and the wand that first appears downstream is the winner. The annual Poohsticks World Championships have been held at Day's Lock on the Thames River, England since 1984.

The first race of the sport was held in 1965 which is only open to the Army, navy and American Marines. But now, the competition is open to everyone. Each team must provide their own bed decorated with a theme for each year. The beds must be four-wheeled and capable of floating in the water. The competition starts and ends at Conyngham Hall. Each team must pass the climb, down the hill to cross the river.

Zorbing is a recreation or sport rolling down a hill in a ball, generally the ball is made of transparent plastic. This sport can be done on sloping ground, but also on the ground, which allows more control of the rider. Despite much publicity about this activity, however Zorbing is regarded as an extreme sport.
