Patinete aquatico?
Water bike?


Patinete aquatico.
Originally uploaded by Andreas Toscano.
O final de semana passado foi para relaxar. Por sorte, uma produtora tinha organizado um churrasco fora da cidade e deu para deixar o cerebro descansar um pouco. Enquanto ele descansava, o corpo trabalhava.
Domingo, eu fui introduzido a um novo brinquedo, extremamente interessante e inesperado. Um dos caras da produtora chegou ao lago com uma mala preta. Dentro, um monte de pedacos de aluminio e plastico. Ninguem tinha ideia do que aquilo viraria (confesso que tambem nao consegui visualizar o que seria). De repente, estava montado um patinete aquatico. Isso mesmo, um veiculo aquatico movido por forca humana. E sobre-humana para os leigos que nao sabem usar. Tudo que voce precisa fazer eh se comportar como uma perereca.
Como sei que voce nao deve estar entendendo nada, sugiro assistir o video aqui e ver o site aqui. Gostou?

Fui.

Last weekend was all about relaxing. Luckily, a production house had organized a barbecue outside of Moscow and I could rest my brain for a while. Just the brain, because the body worked a lot.
On Sunday, I was introduced to a new toy, very unusual and interesting. One of the guys from the production house arrived at the lake with a black bag. Inside it there were lots of alloy and plastic spare parts. No one had a clue of what that thing could become (not even me, I must confess). Suddenly, a water bike was put together. That's right a human powered water vehicle. Super-human for those like us who didn't know quite well how to use it. All you have to do, is act like a frog.
Since you probably can't understand what the hell I've been talking about, take a look at the video here and the website here. So?

Cheers.
