Extreme Sand Boarding - Tropic of Capricorn - BBC travel

[Damnedsoul53]

we have sandboarding here in florida :) its fun

[ncx1234]

...is that ted bear?

[Rockysteamer]

what exactly was he using to slide down the dune and where can i get it?

[dotorius]

@Rockysteamer It's called "Kart Boord". It's only available in Norway, really, it melts at certain temperatures. Also you need to do a three-month course on how to hold it correctly.

[techdeckrock27]

cant wait to go 2 africa 2 try this out. goin in october wwooo

[dylanfigo1]

in the future i shall try this out!!!

[nikonelectricfan]

you only need is a plank of wood.

[tbrew222]

[tbrew222]

[philosophiliac]

@tbrew222 looks like you answered your own question there.

[lastmast]

[TheCrossStory]

[dragoonerzerg]

[desolathor88]

that's extreme? zzzzz

[cowskater5]

what kind of wood was that it looked like masonite to me

[RahbekTravels]

You can find the same event in the modern dubai. Amazing how modern culture has been mixed with the old deserts and habbitats. check out my travelguide from Dubai if you want :)

ps. good stuff you got there...

[rockbandwii6]

well im stick with skiing

[magnifique66]

seems fun and i'd love to try it one day but the dunes are nowhere near the size of the rocky mountains here in canada :D

[sione132]

haha this reminds me of cool runnings

[bigWHITEsesher]

POW DAY

[boobooandbooboo]

man no lift? lol

[MrFruityful]

HAHAHAHA at least we have lifts

[BethanyRose94]

Was at a loss, moved to California with a snowboard, FINALLY have a use for it again. :)

[RyuNificatioN]

@990Davis099 How does a dune buggy take you back up? Think about it: once you take it up, the buggy stays at the top of the dune when you board down...

[deathfrets]

@RyuNificatioN i will respawn after 30 seconds like it does in halo.....

[bhatz829]

@RyuNificatioN you pop it in neutral and let it roll down the hill with you

[990Davis099]

Get a dune buggy to take you back up 

[hamsterdale]

wow that big board would tak A LOT of wax on oregon dunes

[huest2tgier]

@hamsterdale im going to try it today in florence!

[catgirl1234]

[CharlieJulietEcho]

Great way to get a mouth full of dirt.

[piazzadelmonte]

[cybersasho]

Extreme Sand Boarding..

more like nonextreme cardboard sloping..

[anarubric]

[ultimatesandboarding]

@anarubric come ondnt be lazy is fun to walk up and down!!

[therallyfan]

one of my friends acually tried this the same place! at the same hills!

[hellomynameisjulius]

looooooool

[greencj]

this is not sandboarding people, lets call it sliding down a dune on a piece of wood face first.

[XxDeadsoulz]

@greencj You could call snow boarding the same thing...

[Jaloosifer]

@greencj But at the beginning of the video there are people sand boarding, which is hands down the best part

[MsSangla]

Never see this befor it way to cool,thanks

[ihatethings422]

the dude is stupid he shood of tried the board first

[zrandeye]

I'd like to see one of those dudes riding a board on their stomache head butt a rattle snake going 50mph hahaha.

[Ikemike8337]

Sand Boarding is really cool and is basicly snow boarding but when you fall its warm and grainy not cold and wet. Falling doesnt hurt at all :D sand in your ears is a bitch though. Climbing back up is the worst part.

[KSpotes]

best part:

sand doesn't melt =)

[Dir0l]

worst part: sand is not so slipry

[link1123333]

@KSpotes its called snowflex look it up its awesome :D

[TomTom2227]

nice 

wanna go snowboarding ther

[suttersmax]

Good luck using your board... you'd have to wax every other time. ^_^

[smoothieee7]

WOOOOW!! I wanna try that out !!!!!!!!!!!!!! xDD

[MrBallass]

It probably hurts like a bitch when u fall though

[Kornons]

jus like on snow

[alecson95]

well i recommend sand boarding as a starter for those who wants to snow board. its actually 10 times easier and less painful than snow boarding.

[ALL7CAPS]

get some 4weeelers and a friend and take turns no climbing =D

[BigNibble10]

lac

[xavierbb2003]

looks like a lot of fun on the way down, but i've been to namibia and it's a bitch to climb up some of those dunes. it would definately be a good workout

[alexF753]

it didnt look like it was good to ride on, too hard and probably  hurts like shit if you fall :p

[Wolfie9X9]

We in Canada have snow, they have sand.

[brianandbenalmquist]

@Wolfie9X9 and minnesota mofo we right below u

[DevilDman]

@Wolfie9X9 And when it's hot, we swim. Go Canada

[BethanyRose94]

@Wolfie9X9 Alaska has snow too ;]

[bitchesbescandalous]

@Wolfie9X9

We in Colorado have both snow AND sand for boarding, just within no more than maybe 2 hours of each other. =)

[enriquexhx57]

@Wolfie9X9 Good on you.

[PIUrkPDX]

@Wolfie9X9 thank you... captain obvious..

[General1lol]

Dang, In Alaska all we have are Gravel Pits, which are still awesome.

[joedachickens]

can you sandboard with a snowboard?

[dunewarr]

yes you can

[cult91]

well sandbording is like snow bording but its just sand so maybe u could use a snow board...

[mido1600]

well u may not hold the snowboarder like u hold the sand boarder 2 prevent the sand from bumping into ur face ! :)

[Palomitalecter]

I wouldn't recommend it. Snowboards have a different type of base and they "stick" to sand... try a real sandboard and have lots of fun! ;)

[KingJamSK8]

if you sand board in iraq, there a good chance you wont be sandboarding, you'll hit a land mine and be nut launching

[ElJefeUltimo]

what type of board is the one where they're all laying on their stomachs?

[triviumfr3ak]

cardboard

[Palomitalecter]

it's a material known as hardboard, or fibracel in spanish... lots of fun!

[knightj75]

damn dude looks fun i got dunes were i live not big though. I want to snow board but i live on a island ow well skateboarding goood

[globehightops]

sand boarding is the best sport invented i got into it a couple of years ago and i just love it

[SuckXmyXchickeN]

looks like sooooo much fun

[walletlamp12]

dude?

[snowshredder82]

i wonder whats faster sandboarding or snowboarding

[Lokneo29]

snowboarding

[RobertsDigital]

It looks kinda exciting and adventurous...

Sandboarding? Looks new to me and exciting.

[dunewarr]

not new at all,ww2 was first modern attempt by british soldiers in africa,before that ancient egyptian glyphs show people riding on clay discs,snowboarding is "new" Sandboarding is 5000 yrs old!!!

[buttlord123]

that looks like a blast

[alspore]

that was awesome

[Vstyle4Lyfe]

sound like he said the bloody jew

[Italirican08]

lol it did

[jse4321]

because he DID say that

[rwolf275]

he said dune

[charlieballc]

omg i wish i was there!

[proskatersf90]

GTA what and idiot lol

[MasterWilhelm]

Awesome! I've gone sandboarding before on a big red sand hill just outside Arches National Park in Utah.

[Toxeh]

Awesome stuff, I did it in NZ at Cape Reinga but used a body board.

[sandchip]

I've sandsurfed dunes (aka sandboarding) in Michigan, Colorado, and California over the last 30 years. It's a blast. But Namibia has the largest dunes on the planet. They didn't show the big dunes in this video though. And climbing the dunes is part of the fun.

[dunewarr]

The Taklamaken has some as tall

[KyAdeyemo]

Man no snow and no cold and you can still go fast how cool

[repsac16]

@KyAdeyemo But if you fall? Sand in your moth??, pants, and other?

[ChibLeader]

@KyAdeyemo having sand in all or your orifices and hair is comparable if not worse than being cold

[squashl3urn]

haha that looks really fun, cant wait to break out my snowboard this weekend and hit the slopes

[UberSteezMan]

yesterday was my mountians opening daY :))))
