Sliding water-rocket in a soap road of garbage bags

Post by RaZias »

I remembered to see a video in the youtube that some dudes uncurled a series of garbage bags without detaching them (i am talking of those rolls of garbage bags attached that you buy in a supermarket).

Then they putted a lot of savon or detergent mixed with water over it.

After that they launched themselves over it with a bodyboard...they slide it very fastly over 70 meters.

So I am thinking that it would be nice to make that but instead of a person it would be a WR over a woodboard with vertical wings.

If you live where it gets cold you could wait for a body of water ro freeze and make an ice racer!
