Running on water- Liquid Mountaineering

is it possible?

there was this video on facebook posted by michelle lee. it caught my attention

so i did some research about it
googled :running on water.. but there were very few sites about it. one of it was about the jesus lizard
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/11/1116_041116_jesus_lizard.html

mhmm, just as my previous post "placebo" .. and always hearing talks from my dad about how powerful a force that can be generated by just "believing" .. i'm thinking it might be possible

of cause i've watched the show "breaking the magicians code" where this masked guy shows us how to do all the magic tricks. one of it was walking on water (and also flying for that matter... with steel cables) well to walk on water he used a transparent perplex glass which was just bellow the surface of the water.

but there incidents of stuff that skim just above the water surface.
like a spinning flat rock (this looks really cool to a person who has never seen it before)
or the worms in worms world part (or worms armageddon) =P kerwiin would know what i'm talking about.

there's also the suft board. (but ofcause its made of foam)
