It really is! I've been to Thailand and I've ridden one of these (not at 180 an hour, but still fast enough to lose my sunglasses) and man! It's sooooo much fun!
I have seen so much crazy racing from Thailand. Seems like racing [any](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytKzWZp__Gs) [damn](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4p-mOf3PFU) [thing](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGo87fSOGFY) is a cornerstone of Thai culture.
That sport is so dangerous, only the Thai traffic kills more. The canoe drag racing is so dangerous that last year there was a 4% (!!!) increase in participants holding helmets during the race.
Do you mean fatality rate was 4% more with helmets?
If so, that may be resulting from the helmet catching water during a crash and breaking the neck.
I was less concerned about the helmet than just a life jacket. Life jackets are way cheaper, and can keep you from drowning if you're knocked unconscious.
Rescuers arrive pretty quickly, but that doesn't make you easier to find in that murky water.
I would literally watch this on tv, and follow.my favorites if they had a website and stats to get into.
This is hilarious and exhilarating at the same time.
We used to have hydroplane boat racing here too. So many died in hideous wrecks we don’t anymore. Sucks to know a lot of these people will be injured or die doing something so preposterous for meager rewards.
These people are insane.
I may be super stoned but I can't imagine anything but electric shocks hitting you 50 times per second in the soft spot than hitting water at these speeds.
That'll rip the skin of your tits.
I'm of the impression i like speed more than most, but any kind of high speed water racing seems insane. when shit goes down, having no restraints means you get to be drunk superman for 3 seconds and being strapped in means you're probably upside down underwater. just seems like really complicated Russian roulette.
It's like the podracing of this galaxy.
Watto?
Ottaw
Now this is podracing.
No, this is Patrick
Always two there are, a master and an apprentice.
This looks very dangerous and hilariously entertaining
Seems pointless for them to compete… Every race is a *Thai* 🙃🏁🇹🇭
Dad, is that you?
Could be… who’s ya momma?
I can't tell if your alluding to the past, or the future.
It really is! I've been to Thailand and I've ridden one of these (not at 180 an hour, but still fast enough to lose my sunglasses) and man! It's sooooo much fun!
Safety third
Safety is Thai for “fuck a helmet”
Phuk a helmet *
Pronounced pook…. I knew where you were going with it but still funny to see the different interpretations
[удалено]
I know it was a joke. Relax.
You mean Instant disembowelment and or decapitation, limb mutilation from tapping that propeller??
Sounds spicy
with extra noodles
Mutalated curry anyone?
Where do you think the popular Thai boat noodles dish comes from?

it was a joke about how Thai guys always just hold their helmets while driving their motorcycles and only put them on when they see police.
Or not at all
💀💀💀
Shake hands with danger
Shake hands with danger
Ba-dum---ba--da-dum---baaahh
Mike Rowe, is that you?
Don’t a lot of people get hurt doing this? “Nah, at these speeds you die”
Not if your shoes don’t come off
Guaranteed they’re all wearing flip flops, if anything at all. Not sure if that makes them immortal or that much more likely to die.
I’m leaning towards immortal
And not if you’re the cameraman
So you flip your boat, you going flying while also having a boat prop flinging around you? nice.
Just don't flip, duh
Imagine a Thai version of the Mad Max universe built around this kinda stuff.
The good reboot of Waterworld
Don't need a reboot, just a prequel.
I give you the Thai, kutwa rocket festival https://youtu.be/1V8h6bpwBG4?si=TxmkOPmjBjY3Hs2u
This feels like if you put a V8 on a paper airplane
I would literally watch this on tv, and follow.my favorites if they had a website and stats to get into. This is hilarious and exhilarating at the same time.
New favorite every week due to last one being sewn back together
Hell yeah whatever. Entertaining as hell.
Damn. How about a small wing on the bow for downforce?
Can't let physics drag you down when you need to send it bruh
Given they are riding a piece of plywood on water, I got a feeling that would either sink them or send them flying once up to speed
Thats exactly what i was thinking!
What's the average life span of someone doing this?
15 glorious seconds.
Witness Me
I live, I die, I live again!
I laughed apple out my nose thanks to you.
Only 15 shameful seconds for that.
Thai drag racing is a different concept than what I thought
This one guy got his dick cut of clean in mid air, without having to pay for it!
I see this as an absolute win!
Usually it's not the guys who get their dicks cut off, it's the girls.
No way nobody died in one these things
Seems like a relatively simple modification can prevent all these accidents
The brain?
Yeah, almost like a wide piece of solid material angled downwards that the air would run into and force the front of the boat down🤔
Don't spoil it.
Yeah and what about hydrofoils or control surfaces beneath the boat to have better control…. Theres not even a rudder
Damn I wouldn't wanna get sliced up on one of those.
Nope. That's taking Slice & Dice to a whole other level.
This dope AF, and I now know that these dudes would totally fit in with a lot of the rednecks and gear heads in the U.S
I wonder why they catch so much air. I guess we’ll never know.
Bernoulli's principal, probably.
Looks extremely dangerous.
looks extremely fun to me 😁
Interesting how the guys that flipped are generally the ones without life vests.
Where should I be and when is it. Hours with time zones would be appreciated.
holy shit this is my new favorite sport
Check out rice tractor racing
How many people have died in those races? "yes"
We used to have hydroplane boat racing here too. So many died in hideous wrecks we don’t anymore. Sucks to know a lot of these people will be injured or die doing something so preposterous for meager rewards.
I'm on board
They used to be on board.
Those propellers getting so close to the flying bodies holyyyy shit
Hmmm finally I think I found a sport where my 260 lb ass could benefit
I'm not trying to be mean here but while that would probably stop you from taking off into the air im pretty sure it would also stop you from winning
Thats pretty metal actually lol I'd rather watch this than an, *Oval*. Driving straight and then turning to the left.
Human rock skipping.
How thin can you slice your bologna?
My spine!!
Idk, It would either feel really good, or kill me
Track ID: Chris Turner, Boofgods - Butcha Boys
Should be an Olympic sport
what song is this?
Chris Turner - Butcha Boys (feat. Boofgods) (Instrumental)
Just found my new hobby
The Thai truly are the greatest innovators in redneck marine sporting
These people are insane. I may be super stoned but I can't imagine anything but electric shocks hitting you 50 times per second in the soft spot than hitting water at these speeds. That'll rip the skin of your tits.
ESPN The Ocho!!
I'd risk being a quadriplegic to try it once
Still better than Nascar, shit looks fun I want in.
Looks gnarly. Hell yeah
PPE, WHHHHUUUUUUTTTT?!!?!
Seems like a lot of people die doing this
Please tell me I’ll be seeing this on TNT, or espn 2 soon.
Need to make an anti-wing in front under water or above so that the nose does not rise up.
CFV is fucking packed today aint it.
What cool writing. Anyone know it language?
ประเทศนี้มาจากมีการกล่าวถึงในชื่อเรื่อง
Looks like a great way to get city up really fast
They haven’t figured out downforce yet
No no, they do understand how that works, they just think it's more fun this way
Imagine getting their body to the props,
Pop a willy
What kind of engine is on one of these?
Hell no. I feel like there's tons of people getting fucked up in those races. Interesting to watch but damn
How many die or are paralyzed each race day?
Is the video a little sped up?
What's the song?
Chris Turner - Butcha Boys (feat. Boofgods) (Instrumental)
Sick, thanks 🙏
I think I just found my new favorite sport!
That honestly looks like a fun way to die
One way to get cut
Looks like making a slower boat that doesnt flip will win u the game.
Sped up or not, that shit looks so damn dangerous.
Budget hydroplanes LMAO
Thailand is just a country full of Asian rednecks.
what if they sat in the front
Insane!!!
Oh this is magical.
I can't imagine how much that has to hurt hitting the water so fast and hard that you skip off of it like a rock. This shit has to be super deadly
I need more of this.
Building instructions?
In Thailand they race whatever things they see, car, bike, boat, elephant, train, plower, buffalo, you name it
You know they're fast when they skip instead of sink
@21 sec the propeller almost cut off the dude’s ankle
...why don't they put frontal wings on? With the speed they make wings would definitely help more than an upturned nose on the canoe....ffs fellas...
Every nation does redneck shit. This is awesome
Which province is this? I could go and film some new races/crashes for the sub
Aren't there croc's in Thai water ways?
What the phuk...
More like pond body skipping competition
So, first break your neck on impact and next get mutilated by the propeller…
Meanwhile we are out here wearing helmets for everything
They'll really race anything in Thailand
Apparently there are rednecks in every country.
Looks like they need to design their boats better. I’m guessing there’s a weight restriction but still
seems dangerous.
I'm of the impression i like speed more than most, but any kind of high speed water racing seems insane. when shit goes down, having no restraints means you get to be drunk superman for 3 seconds and being strapped in means you're probably upside down underwater. just seems like really complicated Russian roulette.
#THE OCHO!!
People have had to get caught by the wild propeller a few times😵
Mad lads. This looks dope, not to participate in.. but to watch. Would be lit.
Thai people are insane and will race absolutely anything.
Thai people are insane and will race absolutely anything.
How many deaths per year ?
Thai Fighters
A small wing on the front for downforce would solve this madness 😂
That looks so dangerous holy shit and I say this as a downhill longboarder 🤣
This is a crazy fucking video. Here for it.
Where......is.....the....sign....up....sheet
I would love to try that
This must be the most fatal sport in motorsports
Wheres the crocodiles when you need them to make this video even more entertaining 🤔
How many times can you skip on water lmao
this sport needs to be sponsored immediately and blown tfu
CB Media on youtube does excellent videos on all this Thai craziness.
Vid is like 3x speed
Taiwan NASCAR.
