Kiiking
Kiiking was invented in Estonia in 1996 by Ado Kosk. Kiik means to swing, in Estonian, and, appropriately, Kiiking is swinging on a huge steel swing. The swing arms are made of steel, and enable a person to swing 360°. However, if you think Kiiking will be easy, you’re wrong. Kiiking requires a lot of stamina, and physical strength, because the longer the arms of the swing, the harder it is to swing.
