Liquid Mountaineering is a new sport which is attempting to achieve what man has tried to do for centuries: walk on water. Or to be more precise: running on water. We are developing the sport from scratch. By accident we found out that with the right water repellent equipment you can run across bodies of water, just like a stone skimming the surface.

Jesus Christ Lizards just got less cool.
 
Oh my God that is stark raving mental. :lew: I would love to try it personally. It seems like great fun and I'd be lining up to give it a go. Great find. XDD
 
Jeez thats cool. I think, theoretically, that as long as you dont break the surface tension, you should be able to keep going. I think he steps off very quickly after the tension is broken. I think there is a certain max range they can get up to with their current gear as the ripples would wreck the tension on the water.

Still cool nonetheless.
 
Holy shit, that's properly amazing. I'd give it a go just for the experience, but I don't think it'd be something I'd properly take to. I imagine it'd be murder for your calves.
 
What a brilliant thing to do. And a sport, too? I'd love to sign right up to that!
 
99% chance this is a hoax. Just too much evidence showing that this was a marketing ploy to believe otherwise (nevermind the physical limitations of actually pulling off this stunt).
