Hellooo sir, it's Thomas thomas Thomas. Year 9 is not great so far and i really miss your teachings! I think that you will be a legacy for GA! It was a pleasure meeting you and getting to know you. I hope you liked the card too. I hope you see this and yeah thank you for your skibidi teachings!! 😀😀🔥
@@TheFather0173 Thomas x 3 thanks so much for the message. Yes start of a new year is always pretty Fanum! So nice to see your comments, it was such a year. I went to France for 6 weeks in hols and forgot to bring the 8 Whiskey Alpha card to do the grand opening! And to tell the truth, since I got home I’ve been too afraid to open it due to the emotions 😢 Keep being brilliant and hilarious!
@@CharlieBriggsUK Please open it sir! You will love it, Your holiday sounds skibidi and amazing! It still brings a tear to my eye when I remember you and our form tutor (she left too 😭) I hope the whiskey was a adventure too!
@@lindsaygill8739 Hi! I got this Walker Bay 8 on FB marketplace. The tender sounds nice and manageable, but yeh the space can be an issue. It might stern scull better than row? You can scull sitting, standing or kneeling. Just need to sort out a stern row lock. Can practice draw sculling also, like a coracle!
Hi, thanks for the comment! Not entirely sure of the skateboard dimensions, it was given to me when I was in China. It’s effectively very much like a Penny Board but much cheaper. Same type of wheels. All plastic deck. There can sometimes be 2 sizes of mini cruiser boards but this one is definitely the smaller kind
@@CharlieBriggsUK That is fantastic to know because I have seen these clones for a cheaper price but I never considered because I thought the quality would not be good compared to the real one but hey, you seemed to be riding easily. Thanks
Yoooo Mr Briggs it’s Alfie from Woolmer, Hope you’re alright mate the parkour is looking good I landed my first flat ground backflip not too long ago. Sorry for the trauma u got from me and coby hope you’re recovering 🤣🤣
Alfie!! Great to great from you. U must have been buzzing after landing the first one on flat! Hah the trauma was mostly outweighed by all the laughter 😆
Thanks for the comment Ken! Take a look at my video ‘cross country running a boat’. At around the 36 second mark, there’s a rear view of the boat. From the angle you can see the whole thing is just a 2x4 type of pine section, taller to the left where it’s doubled up, wood glued. A standard plastic row lock drops into a drilled hole. The whole thing is attached to the boat at 2 points: the far right end has a bolt that goes through the starboard hole in the boat (it has holes both sides as standard). The left side, about a half foot from the end, has steel plates screwed in the vertical fore and aft. These impinge against the fore and aft of the transom, preventing movement in that sense. The rear of the boat transom has a plastic lip you can grab. The rearmost plate we attach ed, has another little plate which goes up behind the lip and pinches it when the nut is done up - this stops the left end of the wood section wanting to rise up. This has proven to work really well, and is a method that doesn’t involve drilling new holes in the boat. If you didn’t care about drilling new holes, you could find a simpler solution to attach a row lock mount
Thanks for this. I have several videos on my channel of camping by way of sailing small boats. I've been using a Hobie 16 lately and plan to try this as a simple backup on no wind days. This was quite helpful.
Thanks for the comment. Yes a curved oar can work sufficiently well with practice, but will be best done with two hands to better resist the dynamic twisting forces the blade shape makes when sculling. I recommend doing it with the blade convex to the sky (rainbow shape, viewed from side)
i always knew this was a traditional chinese way of rowing (i have no idea where or when i learnt this...) watching rctestflight's latest video..., and it reminded me... damn i love this. i havent tried doing it in years... its about feeling those induced vortexes, and not overdoing it....
Strangely enough I use to watch you train when you first started at outside stoughton infant school. Weirdly enough I come across you again most likely 20 years later…
Hi Mr Briggs, Its Pippa! I just wanted to say that i have officially completed rya 3+4 in one week. This means i get to learn how to use a spinnaker next year!! Hope you are staying cool 😎
Hey PipPip, sorry for the late reply! Amazing to hear of your huge certification progress! I can picture you at 20 knots down wind haha. I've been continuing to enjoy tiny dinghy cruises. Did an overnighter at anchor sleeping 'in' a 2.13m Sportyak during summer!
I just looked that up, looks great! Could have boards straddling the benches to make a sleeping deck. Is there a row lock hole at the back for sculling? If not, you could attach some wood at the back with a hole in to take a row lock (like the walker bay 8 in my sculling tutorial vid). I like how you could put a bench plank across at any point in your boat, for optimal seating when sculling. Would probably be really efficient and powerful
Ah, Max! I was very confused by this - a RU-vid issue I hadn't come across before. Could it have been due to the song (Lil Nas x) creating an age restriction?
@@Sansmanthe2nd It’s indeed curious! There is a censored version I noticed, removing words like ‘booty’, so I guess their rating threshold is very very low! Lol
Oh yes definitely. Traditional Hong Kong and Chinese boats are a great example. You could have a nice big oar on the back of a 22ft boat, maybe even lengthened further with some pvc pipe, and be in a nice comfortable rhythm rocking your whole bodyweight against it slowly
