The first step is the most important one

I definitely agree this is the next big thing. Anybody who doesn’t see this is a heartless jerk.



“People want you to think a certain way. And this sport... actually allows you to push your horizons further.”

I think this is the first time I’ve ever heard something like this said about an athletic activity. Mountain climbing, skiing, scuba diving, jumping from airplanes without parachutes, sailing (well, sure, sailing does somewhat push your horizons, but in rather unimaginative, literal way) don’t even come close.

I can't figure out if this is satire or...?

You mean, people running on water? No, I think these dudes are for real.

Just like a guy said...

Well, this is interesting.

Anarchist Chossid said...

I wonder who cut the dialogues. It’s like these people are made to look even dumber on purpose.

“It’s a new sport. It’s never been done before.”
“Well, you have to run really fast on water.”
“It’s my boots and me.”

Hence my query re: satire.

Anarchist Chossid said...

Well, I am sure people preparing the clip had a lot of fun, but the people in the clip are for real, I think.

Just like a guy said...

You don't think they are one of the same?

Dowy said...

oh so usually people have dificulty then?

Anarchist Chossid said...

Difficulty with...?

Dowy said...

walking on water?

Anarchist Chossid said...

I have never tried. Perhaps it is another example of government propaganda. What does Labor Party say regarding that?

Dowy said...

i dont know. i belong to the monster raving loony party.

Dowy said...

well having said that, i do think sports push your bounderies, but i dont think u can 'believe' your way into things - like this -

Wow, that is awesome.

Anarchist Chossid said...

Wait, which one is the monster loony party? Tory or Lib Dem’s? (Until recently I didn’t even know the latter existed. Although having perused some ideas of their philosophy, I think they have a point on the electoral system. I don’t know much about the whole representational bit, but changing the Lords sounds like a good idea. It’s really remarkable to me that the whole thing still exists anyway.)

Re: believe it: so, you don’t think you can cross Dniestr river on a handkerchief alone, if you believed so, like the Rebbe said any Jew can?

Anarchist Chossid said...

Wow, that’s an awesome clip. I shall be making a post out of it, iyH.

Dowy said...

Anarchist Chossid said...

Oh, I thought for a second you meant Tories. As in Margaret Thatcher = Raving Monster Loony.

Dowy said...

Anarchist Chossid said...

Anarchist Chossid said...
