We did this when I was a kid in Utah; our gutters would get mossy and we could go a whole block at a time.  I'd forgotten about that until seeing your clip... thanks for the reminder!

[Gravepunishment]

That water is for crops not for drinking..for the fields and animals but they should stop before somebody injured himself

[dem663]

they use water pipe line for drinking ( you can see it in this video)

for Cultivation they use this system >> some Cultivation need more water or when rain level was reduce

[fufuzed]

Viva Yemenite style

[hammurabi8888]

we have a folk song called ''Yemen'' in Turkey.If you write ''Yemen Türküsü'' on youtube,you can easily find many results.Each Turkish know this song(in fact it is not song,it is we called ''Türkü'' ;)

[yunaas101]

[officalzak]

Aleikum Asalaam - oOProudYemeniaOo. Greetings from Korea ... No, I didn't try it as I have really terrible balance and didn't want to risk traveling / hobbling around Yemen and Oman, and later UAE, with the hassle of a broken ankle. :)

[oOProudYemeniaOo]

loool i cudnt agree more! :P

i truly envy u- I love travelling and checking out different typa cultures, ways of life etc. its only when sum1 sees even a fraction of the world out there do they realise the birds cage they'v been livin in. you'r absolutely right - set ur minds free - and may i add..ur bodies too! lol ppl should travel more to admire not only the beautiful scenaries/ God's beautiful earth n nature but to also appreciate what they have.

[oOProudYemeniaOo]

[amiratalalam]

Thanks for downloading this video. Jibla is wonderful place to visit. I wish i can go some day.

[ebinsilim]

why is it they have to put "the ancestoral home of osama bin laden"

they could've put somebody to be proud of.

that would sort of put a bad name out for yemen.

but whatever.

funny vid. thoo :]

[thecandytrail]

Salaam Aleikum ... Right: have decided to scrub that reference. REagrds - MRP (AKA the candy trail ...)

[wael1800]

fuck i miss this country guys

[dawl22]

too bad the music sucks.

[nabynabynab]

AL YEMEN !!!!!! WHAT A WONDERFUL PLACE

[BaRaKnnn]

damn me grandparents from there and i always think that this all country is ahuge desert

[aidroooos]

nah man yemen is a so peacful place to go...most of it are green mountains snd the ppl are so nice and simple..

[carbusteerr]

IT IS WODERFULL PLACE

[chopchop1222]

it a nice place

[MrAnswer]

Man i wish i had the money to go there, and travel throughout the Middle-East, its the least visited on tourists itineraries.

[INeverDie99]

Its very nice out there man. I was born there and stayed there for the first 6 years of my life its really nice not wat you see or what they make it sound like on the news...This video took place in IBB, YEMEN.

[MrAnswer]

yea i know how biased the news is, but the middle easterners are such hospitable people, they will always ask you to come in and share their house with u.

[falsubai]

Thats becaues their to PUSSY to come

[MrAnswer]

u mean the tourists r scared to go to middle-east, if so then i agree, they are scared of being kidnapped or killed or raped or mugged.........they have the worst view

[INeverDie99]

i agree also if ppl think twice of coming. the damn president made the middle easterns quite mad the past few years. imagine if clinton was still around. or obama

[shakib23]

nice video, brought childhood memories

[wa7d7elo]

ماأجمل بساطة الحياة

[emad595]

[thecandytrail]

Greeting from Mauritania: aden89 - who ya talking to? Crashdummy713, I assume ... Let's sort this: no it's not drinking water but irrigation for fields. Second: Yeah, crashdummy check your geography, aden89 is right - I checked out some good beaches on the Red Sea & south coasts

[treeman2007]

you gotta have skills to do that, nice surfing

[stokes58]

beautiful vid, i grew up in oman and these falaj were all over the wadis but i never thought of doing this.

[shahyme]

yemeni khahtani guud fo nothin ahlu al- badi

[sinjin88]

So is that their drinking water?

[yahoomar]

Stupid it's not drinking water but irrigation for fields,, some guys needs another brain to understand

[rose20082]

THATS SO NICE,i LIKE THATS VIEOE,JAZAK ALLAH ALF KHAIRA WALLAH U MADE ME MISS YEMEN SO BAD,LOL INSHALLAH i WILL BE THERE SOON..TAKE CARE:)

[crashdummy713]

that suck yall ppl gotta do some bs like that cuz yall dont have no real beaches to surf at r go wakeboardin cuz yall cant afford them...but good job makin use of what yall got...dont yall have to drink that water too y walk in it with your poopy feet hahaaha jp yall

[aden89]

your an ignorant asshole.

do you even know where Yemen is?

it is the Arabian peninsula, look it up, and obviously a peninsula has beaches, and they are much better than the ones in the U.S.

look it smart ass.

[moehoe83]

thats so awesome.. im actually from saudi arabia and that looks to me like the southern side of saudi (country side).. i like the song, whats the name of it and who is it by?

[thecandytrail]

Salaam Aleikum - Moehoe83; glad you like the vid. The song is "Falling" by Kane Sole, a friend I met here in Korea ... His details follow at the end of the song and you can find him at sellaband.

Regards - MRP (AKA the candy trail)

[deen21]

From the ancestoral homeland of Osama ben Laden? So, is Germany referred to as the ancestoral homeland of Adolf Hitler as well? Or is the fucken United States referred to as the homeland of many more terrorists including Timothy McVeigh? You people make me sick. Yes, "YOU PEOPLE"...just disgusting!

[thecandytrail]

F*@K!!! (Hitler's ancestoral homeland is actually Austria but who cares this is history ... and this is NOT the point so wise-up idiots, I'm on your side ... A friend of Islam and the world as a whole and by getting people to see this vid - via a Bin Laden tag -means that people - who probably know nothing of Islam, Arabia, etc - can see something and appreciate something of Islam other than the constant terrorist nonsense.

[deen21]

Im a Yemenite Jew.

[thecandytrail]

Shalom / Salaam : I'm a New Zealander

[Manwholooklikedude]

tain c'est trop chié ça, l'autoroute ça sert plus à rien si t'as ça dans tout ton pays

[Drakaloo]

Actually it was all over.That was the traditional way of irrigating the terraces,however since Yemenis began importing plastic pipes , these type of channels are no longer relevant , thus most of the them have been destroyed, because there is not need for them anymore.

[thecandytrail]

My Osama reference here is a catching point - my hype - to show a different side to Islam / Arabia / Middle East from that presented in the too-often-negative media viewpoint; that people are people across the world. NOTE: Osama Bin Laden was born to a Yemeni father (and a Syrian mother) and he is indeed very relevant today (unlike Hitler - RE: EricsRaceVids comment). I have travelled solo across the Islamic world - and indeed the world, since 1988 - and wanted to show another world view ...

[EricsRaceVids]

Cool vid. I don't understand why you make reference to Osama Bin Ladin in the comments section though? I don't see "Adolf Hitler" tags in German videos.

[bloodspila2]

Cool!!

[abkassim]

This is wonderful indeed how he si balancing himself but unfortunately not waering any safety gear if incase he falls of the ditch

[zezenya1]

thats hot.. i wana try that 2

[Coolkev12]

Ich frag mich ob die Leute da das Wasser auch trinken:-D

[Wodkabruder]

Die haben bestimmt 5 cm Hornhaut an den Füßen

[Yemenjapan]

omg...that's olympic ..long life Yemen ibb

[thecandytrail]

Across Yemen, I only saw these channels in Jibla - but I figure they must feature elsewhere - MRP

[soonybaby123]

Thats cool. I have been to Yemen a few times. I never saw such a water path built like that for irrigation and farming. Is that only in Jibla or all over?

[artod4789]

Looks like a lot of fun. Brings a whole new meaning to "This tastes like feet!"

[thecandytrail]

oobiedoob - glad you like the footage BUT if you listen to the whole song of Falling - this cuts before the chorus - then you'll see that it a great song and that he has many more: check Sellaband.

[oobiedoob]

Awesome footage.

But Kane Sole, don't quit your day job...

[satuonetupac]

na meny te a picsába:D

[njguynorth80]

dude thats hot.. i wana try that 2

[cubworld]

that was the coolest! i wana try :)

[eylool]

WTF!!!! weirdos

[thecandytrail]

weirdos - never, just cool local kids finding their amusement ... I loved travelling Yemen; one of the world's great destinations (amongst the many). Asalaam Aleikum - Peace be Upon You.
