Tethered swimming (Improved with snorkel, paddles, and fins)
It's summer again so I took my paddling pool out for a dip during lunchtime. My local pool doesn't allow filming so I can only film myself in a tether. A bit of thought and improvements compared to last year:
1) The pool is too shallow (65cm water depth) so I find it less disruptive to swim with my fist clenched. I find holding paddles at the forearm level helps with feeling the water - resistance is great when water is being pushed backwards.
2) I need to kick much harder for my legs to stay afloat in stationary water. This can be compensated with a pull buoy or fins. I swear my kicks aren't normally that bad.
3) The tether and sinking legs make it much harder to rotate my body. It's much more relaxing to use a snorkel.
4) Cadence needs to be slow otherwise there'll be lots of waves in the pool.

Tethered Swimming

Here I am trying out an "infinity pool" setup using a bungee. I wanted to do this last summer during the first covid lockdown but these pools were out of stock back then. I'm using a 3x2x0.75m Intex swimming pool. The length of the pool feels sufficient for me. However, I'd really wish it could be a bit deeper as my front crawl catch is constantly touching the floor (apologies for the dropped e...

Flying Sailplane in the Southern French Alps. The glacier is around 1.5 hours from La Motte-du-Caire. Summer expedition with Oxford University Gliding Club. (Video was stabilised to the background hence the wings look "flappy"...) Background music: Microsoft Flight Simulator X
Sunflower Timelapse.
zhlédnutí 2,6KPřed 8 lety
Sunflower timelapse again. This time it's filmed outdoors so the colours aren't as good; and no more Edward Scissorhand background music. On the plus side, there are many animals walking around in my garden! Cats, birds, foxes, and a deer! Unfortunately, grey squirrels stole all the sunflower heads after the seeds started to form!

Timelapse from Oxford to Greater London. Just realised that my camera mount was too small to fit my bicycle handlebar in the morning.... so the video was filmed with the camera clipped to the chest strap of our backpacks. Unfortunately. camera was pointing too low most of the time.... Video played back at an average speed of 4700km/h
Slugs eating caffeinated sunflower sprouts
zhlédnutí 1,1KPřed 9 lety
This video shows some disturbing footage of slugs being killed by caffeine - a neurotoxin . I am planting some giant sunflowers in my garden, only to find that slugs ate lots of the seeds! So I plucked out some unhealthy sprouts, covering some of them with coffee ground to see how well coffee repels slugs. Turns out the slugs ate all the coffee-free sprouts in a few hours' time! After half a da...

Did you get the sunflower seeds😊
Wow
Old but gold!
This is soundtrack for Edward Scissorhands
We've done this too. Ours is 3 metres long and 2 metres wide and 33 inches deep. If you get a straight snorkel, it is much easier to do crawl as you can breath without needing to twist(no trough to breathe in when tethered as you dont have forward momentum to produce it).
Coming back here helped me reminisce my childhood days. Nostalgic ngl❤
wow very nice video full support new subscribe
Just like the cycle of the human being from the ground to the ground

I was viewing the song Girassol today, which when translated means sunflower in Brazilian Portuguese because the sunflower gyrates y follows the sun. The band cuidade negra puts out a powerful punch of this song dedicated to a very special flower. Cuidade negra translated means black city but in Portuguese. It is reversed y the adjective follows the noun as in many Latin script languages. It has nutritional y healing properties as well. Farmers use it to enhance the soil y it also attracts many birds, bees, y other wild creatures to protect the various produce gardens. The Mexican culture uses this plant for medicinal purposes to relieve chest pains. The Cherokee tribe, to help with kidney problems. The Dakota tribe, to help with pulmonary. You'd have to be real ignorant or very proud y dumb to deny the existence of a divine Creator. Merci beaucoup for putting out such a time consuming video to educate the public. Your efforts are highly valued. Gott segne dich.

Wow isame to milian view hai
how tall are you and what is your wingspan? thanks!
170cm. Main issue is pool is very shallow. I wish I had bought the 4m prism pool which is a bit deeper but it was out of stock back then.
damn you should re create this
This sunflower really made me cry. Why did I grew emotional on a sunflower's growing... It's me 16 now. The year is 2022. As the video is 11 years old from now, I will also visit back this video in the future with the help of this comment whenever someone likes the comment.
👍👍👍👍
Beautiful music for a beautiful moment!
