Conkers has been a children's game here in the UK for donkey's years, I used to play as a kid. I've no idea how popular it is elsewhere.

Conker is a slang term for a horse chestnut.

In Autumn each year children would go around collecting them where they fell. The game is simple: drill a hole through the chestnut, then thread it onto a piece of string or shoelace. You challenge someone to a match, and take turns hitting your conker against your opponent's by flicking your wrist to swing it around. Your opponent has to hold the string and dangle his conker in place while you hit. The one who's conker breaks first is the loser.

There were all sorts of theories as to how to make conkers more resilient, I remember soaking some in vinegar to try to get the edge.

I used to collect conkers too. Unfortunately my generation never actually played said sport. Looks like a fun innocent enough game tho!
 
About all we ever did with horse chestnuts is keep the green skin on and peg the shit out of each other with them. Blood and welts, good times.
 
Holy shit. Thanks.
I had no idea those trees got that big.
( in my Mind I keep thinking they must be similar to a jack fruit tree ).
The last time I saw one was when we were planting some and they were about 8 foot tall.

That shit is crazy how they catch it.

Wonder how many spines they get in the ass when it whips around the back
 
On a full side note.
I'd put in a donation for any TMMAC 'er who hasn't eaten durin is to eat it.
Fuck yeah.
Or if anyone wants a gnarly bet, do that shit.
I'm Aussie. I'll eat a whole on jar of Vegemite on one sandwich or straight out of the jar. If anyone has the balls to eat a piece of durian then that's way more hardcore in my opinion.

I have no idea but I was fully waiting for one of them to catch it with their face.
It turned out to be a feel good video watching some impressive talent after the NSFW kind of thing I was mentally preppiing for.
