The Wild Frontier of Sports: Dodgeball
Anyone who remembers childhood as a time of innocence and joy was never on the wrong side of a dodgeball. If you ever packed a few extra pounds in grade school, chances are the specters of those stinging rubber balls haunt you to this day. But for the past three summers, young Brooklynites have been turning up at McCarren Park Pool to re-brand dodgeball as a sport where ex-bullies and fat kids can come together over a beer or six and have some good clean fun. We take you into the fray in our new video series: The Wild Frontier of Sports.

Vice Versus - Russendisko
Russendiskos were originally started as gatherings to offer ex-pat Russians in Berlin a shared sense of community. Russian immigrants suffered marginalization and celebrating Russian culture was seen to hold negative connotations. We join the new generation of Russendisko punters as they wear their Russian identity with more pride than a Berliner hipster!

Vice Versus - Raggare
Sweden has a huge hillbilly-teddy boy scene and they’re called “Raggare”. They are like a white-trash version of American teddy boys and flash their cars around. They mostly hang out around their local towns, but a couple of times a year they get together at these “Power Meets”. We follow the Raggare crew as they come together for the biggest annual “Power Meet” in Stockholm.
