Niche sports will never be understandable to the public. Even mainstream sports aren't. The only thing the public knows is how to recognize patterns. The best you can hope for is getting a trickle of a few more people interested in the sport so they make the equipment a little less expensive over time.

Talk about amazing things people can do... do you know how many amazing athletes are in the street begging for change? Whether they be breakdancers or doing magical acrobatics. Practically homeless, amazing skills. People think the novelty of niche sports is interesting for about 45 seconds but don't give a shit about the details. I'm not even sure how anyone has ever been made to care about a sport. Seems impossible from where I stand. Maybe because beer and sitting on your ass daydreaming is the majority of being a spectator and people are happy to do that on the weekend without argument.
