Five Sports We've Never Tried

Some Jerks

Some Jerks are a surf rock band from Brisbane inspired by the girl groups of the '60s — think Sleater-Kinney covering the Shangri-Las. When they're not surf rocking, they like to try their hand at sports. Here are five they haven't tried yet.


Ferret Legging

Aim of the game? Keep a ferret down your pants for as long as you can stand it. Why we would never try it? Well, it’s just plain cruel! I mean, the poor ferrets! We would imagine it to be rather uncomfortable, but then some people might get a real thrill out of it.

Ultimate Tazer Ball

From Canada. Two teams try and score a goal with a large soccer ball, while being stunned by Tazers... Obviously not good for the heart. Pretty funny to watch from the sidelines though.

Crocodile Bungee Jumping

Bungee jumping into crocodile-infested water. Crocodiles with mouths wide waiting to snap your stupid head off. Need we say why we don’t want to do it?

Extreme Ironing

Taking your ironing board to a stupidly dangerous location like the tip of a mountain, and doing your ironing (you would need a generator). We hate ironing at the best of times and heights make us giddy. Burns and vertigo, leading to falling down a mountain. At worst, death. At best a few broken bones. Real fun.

Binocular Soccer

From Japan. Actually, we reckon we could partake in this one. Players play a game of soccer with binoculars strapped to their heads. Funny to watch, because they can’t judge the distance to the ball, or to each other. Lots of falling over. Definitely the safest of the five.

Local garage rockers Some Jerks launch their new 7” vinyl at The Bearded Lady Saturday May 3.
