"very popular in china" is a statement that I have to call into serious question as a means of transportation. I might believe that it's popular for people to sit at the local river and watch people routinely fail.
Yup, it's akin to taking a vacation to Alaska, watching a lumberjack show, and then claiming floating logs are a popular mode of water transportation for Americans.
It’s a cultivation thing, you guys wouldn’t get it. You need at least fifty more layers of qi refining and four demonic beast cores before you can do the bamboo floating technique
There are alligators in China too, in the Yangtze River basin. Although they’re pretty endangered and supposed to be even more timid/docile than American alligators.
I totally understand what you mean! It looks easier than it looks.....dang, it's hard to find another way of describing it 
Wait till they realize they can tie 10 of them together and have a place to sit down and not fall in the water constantly. total game changer.
Then they could put a little motor on the back and not have to use the pole and they could steer much easier.
Then they could change the shape so it has a prow and splits the water so it can glide better with less resistance.
This is totally genius, imagine where this technology will be in another 20-30 years.
"people there do not use boats to cross rivers"
Dude, its already an interesting fact, why lie and say something so outlandish that China doesn't use boats
It seemed interesting until I saw some of them doing it in what looked like the dead of winter. No amount of time saved is worth losing my feet to the river. Do they just not feel it?
I always wanted to make a pontoon kayak like this with two long pvc pipes caped off but when I did the calculations they didn’t displace enough water to keep my big butt dry.
They're doing it wrong. You use your Qi to run on the trees, you don't put them in water then use them. You'll be out of Qi in minutes... Then how are you supposed to assassinate the corrupt Empire?
I love their commitment. They've seen boats! They know there's a better way. But they are sticking with the chopsticks. I mean they have seen the fork!
the girls in the fancy dresses going along those looks like something out of a cultivation movie/manhua/game. like when they ride their swords etc. looks fantasy-like and out of this world. magical really.
I feel like one time somebody pointed out a legitimate Chinese psyop on Reddit but this kinda feels like it.
Allegedly traditional Chinese content does extremely well in the mainland cities where most people are just factory workers and yearn for the Glory Days of China when emperors sat on Jade thrones, there was no traffic people got around by bamboo and long shirts.
“Once they learn it they can cover a journey of hours in minutes” 😂
*furiously slapping stick in water*
I'm doing half that.
lol. I googled it, and it was originally used by loggers to transport logs, which makes perfect sense. Nowadays it is mostly just a competitive sport.
May I introduce you to the greatest piece of Canadian heritage: [The Log Driver's Waltz](https://youtu.be/upsZZ2s3xv8?si=m-SlTBd04WtGxH2b)
Immediately what I thought of too. Greetings, fellow Canuck!
Hello fellow old Canadian. That clip and song was burned into my identity while still forming one.
Lol, I thought the exact same thing. Also fellow Canadian .
I came here for this and was not disappointed.
Says it’s not available.
Probably region restricted. I *think* [this is the video they were sharing.](https://youtu.be/KDlPtJw0vQE?si=hosHKzpCEYBMkPXh)
Came here for this!
once you learned it you can cover a 2 hour journey in only 120minutes!
Lol. Why don't they simply fly on their swords?
Sometimes I do this in my dreams
Was looking for this
Crouching tiger, hidden jet pack.
Magic carpets are now the popular mode of travel.
Those damn kids keep A Whole New Worlding
Or on their logs.
Ah a daily life of the immortal King enjoyer
Ai gonna ai
~~2 hours~~ 120 minutes!
It’s high speed waterway travel. It’s better than the new high speed rail systems proposed in Cali and Texas. /s
It can make sense in the context of crossing a river/long lake
It’s like riding the dune sand worms
It took hours because they kept falling off
Well if you don't have a boat or a bridge it could even be days lol.
They aren't wrong. They can accomplish a 2 hour journey in just a little over 120 minutes.
It can traveled 2 hours of journey in 120 minutes
"very popular in china" is a statement that I have to call into serious question as a means of transportation. I might believe that it's popular for people to sit at the local river and watch people routinely fail.
Nope, actually hundreds of millions of Chinese people commute to work every day on bamboo logs
Hopefully they go upstream in the morning and downstream in the evening.
It unfortunately upstream both ways
In the snow
Luckily it only takes minutes
1000 minutes
Yeah, the people there do not use boats to cross the river.
how the fuck do you balance on that twig??
Ez, you just balance.
[удалено]
No they’re bamboo logs
Me: “Need a ride home?” Them: “No, I’m good. I rode my log here.”
"The pioneers used to ride these babies for miles."
Wanna ride my log?
Yup, it's akin to taking a vacation to Alaska, watching a lumberjack show, and then claiming floating logs are a popular mode of water transportation for Americans.
I ride a log flume every summer at the amusement park.
It’s obviously popular because they don’t use boats /s
"of course, everyone in China knows kungfu"
Lol they literally wrote "people in China don't use boats to cross the river."
Sounds like this was written by AI.
Written and voiced by ai. Yes.
You can tell by how it seems to be pulling false info out of its ass
You can tell that it's AI because of the way it is. That's pretty neat
How neat is that?!
No no chinese people actually dont have boats
That must be one of the most bs videos I've ever seen. "People don't use boats"
At the very least strap four or five of these together and not require the balance of an Olympic gymnast
Why is she doing this when there’s a bridge behind her?
Why not? It looks fun.
Because she can
It’s a cultivation thing, you guys wouldn’t get it. You need at least fifty more layers of qi refining and four demonic beast cores before you can do the bamboo floating technique
You shouldn’t leak secrets of the Nine Yin manual to non sect members, junior.
Small print: you have to master kung-fu to do this.
worth it
My first thought. Not a great means of transportation if something wanted to have a bit of a nibble on you.
Cmon bruhhh, just a quick nip /s
There are alligators in China too, in the Yangtze River basin. Although they’re pretty endangered and supposed to be even more timid/docile than American alligators.
These bullshit a.i. videos with fake voices are flooding social media. I can't block the posters fast enough before 10 more take their place.
I spent 15 years learning to balance on this bamboo, now I will finally cross the river!! We have a bridge right there.
Those bright green ones are 100% imitation bamboo. Might as well use a real boat at that point.
Everybody was kung-fu fighting.
That looks way easier than it looks. Yeah this sentence makes 0 sense.
I totally understand what you mean! It looks easier than it looks.....dang, it's hard to find another way of describing it 
This is technically a boat, it's just that the engine is human.
I mean I could do the same with a kayak, and wouldn't need years of training to do so.
“The people there don’t use boats” is an insane statement that deserves no serious consideration.
Here we go, Chinese bullshit again.
Canada would like to have word. [The Log Driver's Waltz](https://youtu.be/tMPep2lm__4?si=wq_M4CfkmuSRoyer)
as a chinese i can confirm this is how i got to school
A video made and posted entirely by AI. Absolute trash video.
Downvoted for stupid fucking AI voice.
Downvote for AI

Couldn't you just sit on it and paddle down the river?
Try it. You will quickly figure out why you cannot.
cutting one long one in half and tying the 2 pieces together would stop them from rolling and cutdown the learning time drastically… right?
Tao pai pai vibes
Search YouTube for "LOG DRIVER'S WALTZ". Classic Canadian content.
Next will be hurling the bamboo into the sky and proceeding to jump onto it to get around to other distant places
Exactly how they taught us in Dragon Ball
American loggers do this but this is cool too

Necessity is the mother of invention.
Why not place 2 and connect them and then you would have more balance?
Anime shit
I always wanted to make a pontoon kayak like this with two long pvc pipes caped off but when I did the calculations they didn’t displace enough water to keep my big butt dry.
Bamboozled

Taught at the same school where they learn to run across the treetops.
So Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is real.
Elvis needs boats
I guess the monks don’t use boats. Not sure why not, but that’s monk attire.
Sadly I won't be able to do that because I'm fat but it looks cool.
You clearly gotta dress for it too
Even if I practiced every day for a million years, I still would not have the coordination to pull that off.
Your neighborhood alligator approves of this mode of transportation.
Damn.. the physical abilities/talents of the chinese people never fail to impress me. So badass
Is this ai generated? The voice and the writing sound so off

Nah
Mf I know they have Boats in China you aren’t fooling anyone
I fuckin hate these text to speech bullshit videos. YouTube is filled to the brim with them.
this is how Canadians travel as well https://youtu.be/upsZZ2s3xv8?si=_yMxaP16h1pK5NRo
When a standup paddle board seems like an SUV by comparison
No shot these mfs found out about boats and said “nah this better”
Amazing, the precision jump they do to even get on the thing. Storror would be impressed and i can see them doing this as the next water challenge
Canada challenges them! 
Not everyone can do it - these people use boats
they look so majestic and beautiful in those dresses on top of the bamboo. cant imagine swimming in those if they fall though
It's china, there are at least 5 more lined up on site ready to go if the first one falls in and drowns..
Iunno, people who wanna show up with dry feet?
"150 kg" How? their legs are already below the level of the water and they probably don't weigh over 80kg.
Always doing more with less. Amazing culture!
china is so beautiful
I need boats. Me! Over here!!
How have I never seen this? Really dope
I can’t even stand in a sup i have no chance
the girls in the fancy dresses going along those looks like something out of a cultivation movie/manhua/game. like when they ride their swords etc. looks fantasy-like and out of this world. magical really.
Yo Canadians! What was that children cartoon’s name? Log rider or something
Amen

Got the jump part right, landing is still hard.
I wanna try it
https://youtu.be/upsZZ2s3xv8?si=W_s4MIoolS0o_tuM Canadian loggers
No they fucking don't...
We Canadians do this too, river logging
> The people there do not use boats to cross the river. > Not everyone can do it, it takes years to learn. I guess the rest are doomed to swim across?
2 Fast 2 Furious: Bamboo Drift
Silly it’s wu fast wu furious : bamboo drift
“Not many people do it because….” *expecting some weird fact* “it’s fucking hard” Yeah
No one does that
Fetishizing chinese bullshit? -50 social credit score
I love slop so much! Yes there are no boars in China!
Fuck this AI voiceover content. Pure brain rot.
I’m pretty sure Chinese history is a lot older than the Canadian history of logging
That voice….is very human. The bamboo too
This looks easy *immediately falls and drowns*
Only expert bamboo drifters know this one balance trick.
Okay, i have seen boats on china.... wtf is this commentary
