CRAZY BOUNCING BRIDGE in flooded river.

[5wanderingroses]

@RobwithaB a spinning wheel uses a bouncing motion in a way.

[SPuDlyDUdLEEpudles]

why does this remind me of indiana jones?

[divinefart]

hey robwithaB, have a look at the capilano suspension bridge, in BC canada, looks similar, you should visit :) cheers and nice beard ..

[HikerJohn316]

Rob, as I recall the US Army field manuel on drill and ceremonies FM 22-5 ? notes that when marching over a bridge a unit should be marching in "route step" which means that you dont have to be in step - to prevent the situation you described.

Beautiful area and river!

Sincerely missing Roberta,

Those bridges are designed to cope with resonant energy transfer brought about by children and under-grown adults :P

So you can bounce up and down for as long as you want and the bridge won't fail.

Isn't technology wonderful?

[ROBwithaB]

@yellowmetalcyborg

Yes, IF they are designed according to the codes, they shouldn't fail.

But sometimes, unexpected things happen.

The Millenium Bridge in London did something odd when it was opened to pedestrian traffic.Turned out that it wasn't that unusual, just that earlier reports of it had been buried in engineering and scientific journals.

My main concern with this bridge is that the resonant frequency is to0 close to that of a normal human gait.

[yellowmetalcyborg]

@ROBwithaB You're right, but the bridge dissipates most of the energy transferred to it by one person. If you get a crowd to all walk in phase, then that's another story.

[draconite420]

haha crazy guy :P

[RowAshore]

Whilst most people are challenged by jumping "off" bridges, Rob takes it a step further by jumping "on" bridges. Once again the human thrill limit has been pushed. Godspeed Rob.

[ROBwithaB]

@RowAshore

My curiosity lands me in deep water sometimes.

[montaramike]

Wow not getting me on the bridge! Especially with you jumping around. Cools shots of the water! Mind if I steal this vid?

[ROBwithaB]

@montaramike

No problem. It's all yours. Just add a link somewhere.

And send us your finished product. I'm curious now. Music video?

(If you're looking for more "moving water" footage, I have quite a bit.)

[MiWilderness]

Reminds me of an old TV commercial.

[ROBwithaB]

@MiWilderness

I'm getting to that age that EVERYTHING reminds me of something else.

[kekoa6]

you have beard now

[ROBwithaB]

@kekoa6

It's for a character who'll be making his appearance shortly in the fire videos...

[watcbd]

@ 0:35 reminds me of prom night....and it only lasts five seconds. : )

[ROBwithaB]

@watcbd

Funny comment.

And I suspect that the triumphant monkey face in this video is straight outta prom night too.

[watcbd]

@ROBwithaB Oh yes, monkey face as well. Also, I screamed "Oonga Boonga, I have made fire" ....needless to say that was the end of that relationship.

[HWEisRISING]

He's back! haha & the Beard is killin it!!! good to see u again ROB!!!

[ROBwithaB]

@HWEisRISING

Cheers. The beard is for a new character in the 101 WTMF videos.

[Mikeasskicker]

Should have set the bridge on fire... just sayin

[ROBwithaB]

@Mikeasskicker

The walkway is make of "plastic wood". I did conduct some (unsuccessful) experiments on friction fires using artificial materials.

Turns out that wood is pretty special for all sorts of reasons.

[elbauzan]

I was just wondering about when you would post a new video. So this is the "bridge over troubled water" video. Good interpretation lol

[ROBwithaB]

@elbauzan

People had been complaining about my "Sounds of Silence" approach lately.

Thought I'd better post something.

[darkmasterftwlal]

rob , its working as intended :D

[ROBwithaB]

@darkmasterftwlal

Like a three-dimensional Rorschach test?

[ThrasherContinue]

Rob with a beard

[ROBwithaB]

@ThrasherContinue

It's starting to frighten innocent women and children.

That thing has to go.

[kingcollie]

Hahah you're as crazy as that bridge! Cheers mate!

[ROBwithaB]

@kingcollie

No comment.

[kingcollie]

@ROBwithaB Thanks for the comment!

[eerbrev]

If I hadn't had enough confirmation you were a cray person, this would have made the case. Glad to see you posting video. Stay safe in the weather, Funso sounds like it might be a whopper.

[ROBwithaB]

@eerbrev

Waiting to see. Storm is currently moving Southwards and slightly Westwards closer to the coast. Forecasts are saying it's about to start veering Eastwards away from the coastline, due to the prevailing steering winds.

My concern is that the models don't account for other steering factors, like ocean currents. I've noticed that storms have a tendency to move parallel to coasts once interacting with land, rather than track away.

We'll know soon enough.

[KLiteVideos]

This is great. your such a character.

[AndrettiUA]

Did you shoot a video how to start fire with a bridge?

[ROBwithaB]

@AndrettiUA

I know this is supposed to be a joke, but I HAVE given a lot of thought to the concept of using a bouncing motion like this to generate fire.

The problem with most methods of friction fire is that they rely heavily on upper body strength. So, traditionally, only men made fire.

And women were obliged to maintain embers back at the cave until the men came back from the hunt.

I'm looking at a simple device that uses the strong leg muscles and a bouncy action.

For ze babes.

[bebbodux]

you should break the pace when walking on bridges

[ROBwithaB]

@bebbodux

I concur. That's very sensible advice.

[mikecat23]

Are you hopping around because you took an arrow to the knee ..........

[ROBwithaB]

@mikecat23

Actually, both knees.

But it's okay, cause my mate Chick Norris helped me pull them out.

With his teeth.

[mikecat23]

@ROBwithaB hahahahahahahaha

[mikecat23]

Sorry just in a bit of a funny mood

[ROBwithaB]

@mikecat23

No problem. Enjoyed the "missed calls" line.

[mikecat23]

Hay Bazooka man is that Krokodil rivier by any chance ? Chuck Norris fell into it once and Chuck didn't get wet, the river got Chuck Norrised.

Jesus can walk on water, but Chuck Norris can swim on land. Chuck Norris can strangle someone with a cordless phone

and

When Graham Bell first invented telephone he had 2 missed calls from Chuck Norris .



[ROBwithaB]

@mikecat23

Ja. Krokodil Rivier. Inniemirrel van Nelspruit.

Actually, just after this footage was taken, I had to help old Chuck out of the river....

[jimmyggh1]

Now, if ya just had a busty bird in a bikini on their, you would be on to something! LOL!

[ROBwithaB]

@jimmyggh1

Bouncy bouncy bouncy.

I have no idea what you're talking about!

[rahrahritaa]

that looks like the smart thing to do!

[ROBwithaB]

@rahrahritaa

Sometimes the brain switches off when the camera switches on.

[lucasman30]

So that's what the B stands for.

[ROBwithaB]

@lucasman30

Actually the B stands for BAZOOKA. But I'm not allowed to tell anyone....

[AndrettiUA]

I definitely see now Rob with a Bridge

[ROBwithaB]

@AndrettiUA

And a busty babe with bouncy boobs in a bikini.

No wait. Different video.....

[TheMountainRN]

Love it! They say genius and crazyness is not that far lol

[ROBwithaB]

@TheMountainRN

Calculated risks, that's what it's all about.

Now i just need to remember where I left my calculator.....

[1tigerblood]

sure you want swim inside the river

[ROBwithaB]

@1tigerblood

It's not called the Crocodile River for nothing. A friend of mine was taken a few hundred metres upstream from here.

[MoodyMellerina]

@ROBwithaB RIP J.F.

[erickitt]

Ooonga boonga baby.

[ROBwithaB]

@erickitt

This is what happens if we don't have television to distract us.

[LeahCoger]

Remind me never to cross that bridge with you....LOL!!!

[ROBwithaB]

@LeahCoger

It's actually a lot of fun at low speed and "low tide".
