Seriously: it’s called “Hockern.” According to Wired:<\/p>\n
Of all the things we take for granted \u2014 fresh air, hot pizza, Scarlett Johansson \u2014 sitting down surely ranks somewhere near the top. But no longer! A couple of enterprising young entrepreneurs in Germany want to make sure you never forget the thrill of setting your behind down after a long jaunt.<\/p>\n
As heads of the company Salzig Sporthocker, the Landsch\u00fctz brothers have been preaching the gospel of hockern for more than three years now, but this German-born street sport has only come to our attention recently. And what is hockern exactly? Well, it\u2019s sitting.<\/p>\n
…Now, one of the more interesting aspects of hockern, aside from all the jumping around and sitting, is that each and every maneuver seems like it\u2019s not actually considered a legit move unless it ends with a sit-down. I mean, you could do four cartwheels off the side of a six-story building, swinging this way and that, but not sliding the sporthocker under your rump when you\u2019re done means you might as well have belly-flopped into a dumpster.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

LOL!\u00a0 But you do have to be fairly fit – not to mention agile – to pull off a lot of those tricks, so IMHO, extreme sitting is definitely superior to the regular kind.<\/p>\n
