Did you know that hot air ballooning was once an Olympic sport? We have seen some pretty crazy ones in the past and this year too. Have you seen the speed wall climbing contest? I'm just saying.

ATV Acrobatics.
Southern Utahns would also excel in ATV acrobatics. Picture daring riders performing flips, spins, and jumps over dunes and rocky terrain. Bonus points for the best dust trail. The best part about this event, some of the contestants did those tricks on purpose.

Extreme Sunbathing
No one knows how to bask in the sun quite like a Southern Utahn. This event combines endurance, patience, and a high tolerance for heat. Competitors must lay on a scorching rock slab at high noon without moving or melting into a puddle of sweat. The key is achieving the perfect tan without falling victim to the first spring, forgot lotion, sunburn.

Shave Iceathon
How many specialty shave ice can you down in the allotted time? This one is not only for those with a tough vagal nerve allowing them to chug the iced treat without brain freeze, but a strong pocketbook to be able to afford them. People already line up for these refreshing delights we might as well build a stadium.
