dumpert!

Wat een schijt appartaat

[ronaldsneek]

Has to do with rhythm, bet you're a terrible dancer.. :-P

[Yawningdogy]

Actually its not about rhythm, the secret is to push the handlebars up & down to change the angle of attack of the rear blade. Which is what I didn't do.

By the way, yes I am a terrible dancer. Yawningdogs

[Boggers12345]

At what point do you scream "FUCK IT!!!!" and walk away pissed off?

[albertojau]

INVENTION FAIL

[arobben1]

I think you need to be pushing your arms more forward, rather than just moving up and down.

[alicesit]

This guy is really persistent!! Way to go! :)

Хабр такой хабр

[yawningdogs]

Well you never know, what with rising sea levels & all that. Everyone might need one.

(By the way, I bought it over 3 years ago, just as you yanks were orchestrating the sub-prime meltdown and wasting zillions on an unjustified & un-winnable war/slaughter)

[Rudy821]

@yawningdogs rising sea levels my ass.... thats all bullshit just like this stupid ass product... i live and charleston like my father, grand father, great grandfather and so on... my son, grandson, great grandson will live here too.

[nambinhvu]

@yawningdogs ROFL if the sea levels rise, you should get a boat, not this...Do you think you can bounce forever? You'll have to stop eventually lol

[andyhendricks11]

It's good to see that people are frugal and only spend their money on necessities in these tough times...if I could buy one of these...I still wouldn't...

[rlopesyan]

That looks insanley frustratingly hard. Because of that I give you mad props.

[WECantThink]

First of all, I commend you on your perseverance. You be one tough cookie!

Second, did you ever get it going?

Third, I think you are leaning too far forward..

Fourth, I like the music - good choice.

[Webins]

This obviously requires great fitness and high stamina to work, otherwise I'd think one would get tired rather quickly from the constant forced bouncing.

[dirtbikerdann]

SUCKZ BUY A PUMPABIKE

[LilNappie]

fail

[yawningdogs]

At least it's copyright free, unlike yours

[judedudemude]

@yawningdogs how munch did this cost and where did you get one ? (maybe a webisite wjhere i can buy one cheaply im american)

[rysliv]

music sucks

[ArmedZagi]

The music goes great with this XD

[orki1960]

from the looks of the videos I have seen, your push off isn't always strong enough to get enough momentum so the hydrofoil will work and a lot of the times, your arms aren't pumping down enough, if at all, and they're not in sync with your legs. Definitely requires a good amount of coordination. Keep at it.

[AvengeJoker]

i did that today for the second time, it went well! i use my arms and legs at the same time

[XxkutaapxX]

ya really smart standing on dry land and hopping on it :P

tip: you;ve got to push off really hard the rest is really simple :)

[DragonRiderJess]

Your rythym seems a tad slow, could be why?

[Anubis328]

If done propperly, girls won't talk to you.

[rinteri]

were do you get one of those

[XxkutaapxX]

it's not a scam m8

as you can see this guy on the vid

it takes him a long time so dont expect to learn this within 2/3 days practice or so

[robattrinity]

Well done on keeping going. You must of slept like a log.

[Machetazo1]

Poor guy... must've burned alot of calories that day!!

[RuneRonny1]

lol!hilarious :D

[vbl70]

Hilarious dude!!! Thanks!!! :D

[tabithabanker]

you must of slept that night!looks like hard work

[josmama300]

you are moving your body up and down, you need to push with your legs. you wont get anywhere bobbing up and down like a turky!

[yawningdogs]

Check out my other video, I've become better at it. In actual fact my main problem was that I wasn't pushing down with my arms. That's the trick.

[josmama300]

Im speechless.

you got no hops

[Didzis85]

ahahahah :D:D:D lol You rock! Patience is the answer :)))

[yawningdogs]

Thanks, SaltyPig.

[Miton78]

go go go.....

[yawningdogs]

Another tip that I can suggest. If you have an Aquaskipper that lean a little to either the left or right, then try gently knocking with a hammer a little extra pitch to the outer 3 inches of the sinking wing's trailing edge. Be careful not to bend it too much or you'll risk adding too much drag and could snap the metal.

[yawningdogs]

I've been doing some more Aquaskipping recently. The magic techniques for me now are: 1) use your arms as much as your legs. It makes a huge diference. 2) ignore the manual, lean into the turns, not against them.

[daysetx]

idiot) he's jumping by head wtf? he's knees standing almost strait) funny)

[yawningdogs]

Learn to write English..or even better show us a video of you doing it better!

[BigFroBen]

how is he getting the (metal) frame out of the water each time?

[yawningdogs]

Since filming this video, I've become much better. I'll post another video soon. I am now bouncing faster. The frame will naturally rise to the surface as you bounce up. My tips, don't look at the front skid look into the distance. It takes twice as much energy to perform a turn against going straight. Turns are difficult & fail without speed. Enter turns fast. A turn will increase the speed of the outer wing, but reduce the speed of the inner wing, increasing the risk of an inner wing stall.

[riparianlife97701]

My first attempt was discouraging until I saw how many short trips you had. I am going back out in two days to try again. I like your "look into the distance" advice. It seems you need to feel for the timing rather than watching for cues.
