Chris Anderson, a veteran of the cheese-rolling race at Cooper's Hill, emphasizes the importance of control and preparation in the chaotic sport. With 23 wins under his belt, he now advises newcomers to assess the hill before participating. While speed is essential, maintaining control is paramount to avoid injury. Anderson notes that the ideal competitor is someone in their mid-20s with fitness and experience. He shares tactics on staying upright while descending and encourages applicants to approach the event with a willingness to embrace the adrenaline rush.
Bravery is important but so is an element of careful preparation and planning.
You've just got to be able to try and stay on your feet as long as possible and lean backwards so you can stay in control of yourself.
I strongly advise visiting the hill before you make the decision to get up there and do it.
It's better to stay in control rather than going flat out.
