edit: way too slow

They had water motorsports once .

it would be cool if there would be an aqua version of horseback. but instead of horses, there would be dolphins. and the rider would control the dolphin while going through an obstacle course.

Bobsleigh should be removed, really - you just throw yourself into a hunk of metal and go down a hill. Yeash, they even put walls up to guide you and everything!
