Walk on water (Liquid Mountaineering)

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.

Liquid mountaineering is performed by professionals under professional supervision. Accordingly I must insist that attempting to do so is dangerous.

We like to thank the people at Hi-Tec for their support.

Wow, when I was a kid I 100% thought this was real. I spent hours trying to do it at the beach.
At least I didn't buy the shoes though, so they didn't totally get me.

Watermelon is 92% water. I can walk on a watermelon therefore I can walk on 92% of water.

Yes, we know it's not real. But let's just appreciate the production, and how well made this video is.

My brain knows it's a fake but my heart wants to believe !! :p

Just saw the "making" of this video on a show called "caught on camera". The creators of this video are genius! The fact that they built a type of pier under the water and made the top part flexible so the actors movements make it look more real, like he is actually running on water, pure genius! Great video

It was a brilliant brand marketing campaign, deserves an award. Greetings from Gerês - Portugal.

How professional production and a halfway believable premise can make anything seem legit

[xKalphax]

notice that he always sunk in the same spot

[MrCrazyhoboman]

Wow, I'm impressed. It must have taken forever to build that big board that's under the water.

[markmccall]

Still brilliant, even after all these years.

They actually put a boardwalk underneath the water. It was on a program.

[sebastianlance]

trust me when I say, this is the future,   running on water will be possible when the rivers and lakes are so polluted you can walk on the garbage lol

My buddy and I found this when we were young lads. We actually tried it. We tried hard, but we were unsuccessful. Oh, to be young. This video brings back great memories. Cheers

It's not fake they just have brand new Jordans and a gaming chair

[Gryffster]

You have to admit, they've gone to a lot of effort. Sadly, there will be people watching this who believe it's real.

I have watched this video the first time more than 10 years ago, and it is still brilliant 😂
