Do You Wok?
Not only can the Chinese wok be used for cooking, wokking your dog (blame MadAsHell for this), as a makeshift shield, and as head protection during seiges, it is also now a means of rapid transportation during the winter months with the introduction of Wok Racing.
As a further innovation a qualifying round was created in which the participants had to jump from a trickski-jump (of course with woks) to determine the starting order. Further the sport event was professionalized. The 4-person-woksleds were sponsored by Nissan, IKEA & Bravo.
Records

That’s a mighty fast wok.
