    Default Walk on water


    https://youtube.com/watch?v=Oe3St1GgoHQ

    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.

    I know people have tried too busted this video, so here is one more i thought was funny..

    I've tried walking on water,
    I tried walking on plastic sheeting,
    solar reflective pool cover...Most expensive
    swim of my life.
    I went through that pool covering like a stone(I repeatedly said
    'light as a feather')...then went
    out to buy a replacement.
    Video looks to me as if the shallow end near the shore line
    has something to do with them at least making 2-3 steps.
    Sorry, not convinced, possibly because of my past experience.

    That was actually quite funny.

    I would like to believe it, 8, I really would. I too saw this vid when it went viral. In fact, I'm not going to burst anyone's bubble. This is REAL!

    That's crazy in a cool way. What's interesting is that we used to say when we were kids, that if you could get up enough speed you could run on water. Of course we never tried it, we weren't that dumb (confident). Now 45 years later these guys are doing it, and I don't know whether to feel vindicated or like I missed out for not trying.

    Most extreme sports originate from dares don't they? For us back then it would be things like 'balance beaming' the power takeoff guard between the tractor and the hay baler while dad was driving (my god, if he'd known we were doing that), or 'how long can you hold a stream of pee on the electric fence?'. And we didn't have iphones and Youtube. For us it was the simple joy of stupidity.

    Let me see them do it with sandals on.

    Ya but I can sort of believe these guys. They came up with the evidence. But lets get Tony into a wetsuit and see what he can do.

    Hey, I'd been wondering if Tony had died and gone on to hell or turned back into a cartoon character or something. The Anti Alfred E Newman. Do people really still ever bother to think about him anymore?

    This videos are a "hoax". They are a promo for a water proof footwear brand! Hahaha! There are other videos explaining how they did it.

    False flag fun? Oh brother....that's shattering. Disinformation or dis-disinformation? That seals it, you can't trust humans for anything.
