From You Tube:-
Liquid Mountaineering is a new sport which is attempting to achieve what man has tried to do for centuries: walk on water. Or to be more precise: running on water. We are developing the sport from scratch. By accident we found out that with the right water repellent equipment you can run across bodies of water, just like a stone skimming the surface.
Liquid mountaineering is performed by professionals under professional supervision. Accordingly I must insist that attempting to do so is dangerous.
I really enjoyed watching this video and had a few laughs, I hope you enjoy it as well. π
There are still a few things that make me wish I was young again! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Texasjune,
The running fast bit is past me, still run in a fashion, but fast….. π
A PHENOMENAL example of unleashed, unlimited, potential and possibility! Eee Haw!
Hi HolEssence,
It’s unreal isn’t it, I had a smile of my face as well while watching the video. π
rofl. If I were a couple decades younger, I might be tempted to try this crazy-cool sport. π
Hi E.C.,
Crazy is right, but it looks like fun. π
Great! I can only agree with the above — if I were young I’d try it too… the idea is terrific, anything is possible π
Hi Rebekah,
I to believe that people can do a lot more than we do, they say we only use a very small percentage of our brain. π
Sorry folks, the Myth Busters expose this as a hoax at http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=CbMJChif_ns#!
Hi Mal,
Yes it’s hard to say if it’s fake or not, it seems to be fake, but even so I would love to try it, the fun you could have, although like the other Ladies, I am a bit old for the running bit. But never too old for the fun bit. π
Lucky for us Malc checked myth busters for us. How funny that they made it seem as if they were serious! Very clever.
Hi dearrosie,
I think the video looks great, still a lot of fun. π
Like Malc50 said…it’s a very nicely done fake. On the other hand it is possible with a very fast quad bike IF you hit the water going flat out…and you older ladies could do that… C’mon girls!
Hi Kymbo,
Oh you may have found a way, all I need now is a quad bike. π
Great find Mags. Interesting seeing them apply science at work all the way.
Hi aFrankAngle,
It was interesting I agree. π
I liked your blog a lot, so Iβve given you the Liebster Award. Check out todayβs post of mine for the details! Congrats π
Hi Arindam,
Thank You very much for the award, I will be over there shortly. π
LOL! That was hilarious! I kept going and watched the first two minutes of the following video – Mythbusters trying to replicate it! HAHA!
Hi EternalForms,
I had the same reaction, I thought it was fantastic, laughs and fun is what it is all about. π
“I must insist that attempting to do so is dangerous.”
Would it be any fun if it wasn’t?
Or you could just try it on snow skis…
Hi El Guapo,
OMG, you would be praying that you wouldn’t fall in. I love it. π
Our minds often work against us. It’s time we started getting them to work for us. We’re never going to be able to do anything if people persist in telling us that we can’t. You’re not supposed to be able to walk through a wall while you’re still in your body, but some people do. A wall is only an obstacle because we see it as such. It is fairly easy to throw up a wall that is invisible to us but which stops animals in their tracks. Horses won’t go through it and dogs sniff along its base to try to find an opening in it. It is done to stop hunts catching deer. You let the deer pass, then throw up the invisible wall. If we can do that, why can’t we do the opposite? “It’s all in the mind.”
Hi Lady Marilyn,
Mind over matter can be a wonderful thing.
WOAH. I want to try it. It looks stupendous. What fun!
Hi Selma,
Oh yes. π
In the event I might upset someone who goes to church more often than I do, I shall refrain from comment! π
Hi travelrat,
That is very thoughtful and well said. π
WOW – that’s amazing! I’m speechless.
Hi Fergiemoto,
Glad you enjoyed the video. π
Thank You for visiting and taking the time to comment.
Fake or not, this is hilarious! I think I want to believe it, and I definitely want to try it because it’s so funny!
Hi AA,
It does make one wonder, but if it’s fun why not? π
At least they’re getting some good exercise in the process – better than sitting around all weekend watching TV!
Hi Barbara,
That is so very true. π
There has to be an Aussie in on anything like this! Every one I’ve met is game for anything! π
Hi souldipper,
What ever you have heard about Aussies is most likely 99.9% true. π
