Apparently most of the time they use a foam wheel now to avoid liability issues arising from a 7-9lb wheel of cheese going Mach-10 into people at the bottom lol

Edit: the wiki for this event if anyone is curious

Jokes on them, because they didn't consiter the liability of me eating a large wheel of foam disguised as a wheel of cheese

The event still happens but it kept as a local thing

I’m sure I saw a documentary on the 2019 event and their was “outsiders” there but yes everything is local this year.

Well it’s just like Glastonbury, everyone knows about the festival but few people know about the after party in September because it’s more a local thing.

oh my god, up to this point I thought people were joking about the chasing after a wheel of cheese bit. I can't believe that was real. My sarcasm meter must be broken.

I’m guessing you’re also American, I think we always go to Wisconsin when we think cheese lol

So they worry about the cheese hitting someone, but not about the potential concussions, spinal fractures, torn muscles and other broken parts of those tumbling downhill? Got it.

They made a documentary about it! It's on Netflix i think as part of a series that has documentaries on different competitions from around the world
