As a child were you willing to stand in long lines for an exhilarating swing ride? Well, maybe if the swing had been like the one created by these Estonians you would have thought twice about it!

In fact, from Estonia comes a sport called "kiiking" that is designed to test riders on high swinging structures where they display their prodigious pumping skills that take the rider over the fulcrum  -- making a full turn! 

The current Guinness World record of 7.03 meters (23 ft) was set by Ants Tamme, an Estonian, in 2012.
