Marble Racing is a sport watched by millions. In fact, these marbles have more fans than a lot of athletes. People buy their merch, and they even have their own team chants! That’s because brothers Jelle and Dion Bakker have created a captivating world, where a bunch of inanimate objects rolling down a plastic track suddenly becomes an exhilarating sport.

After a life-long passion for marbles, Jelle created a YouTube channel, and audiences quickly became obsessed with their high production value and creative races. It was even noticed by John Oliver, who featured it on his TV Show, Last Week Tonight on HBO.

You’ll be the on the edge of your seat chanting for your favorite marble team.
