To me it looks like she hesitated at the beginning to let the wave of her first footstep get ahead of her and then she followed quickly behind. Dunno if that’s what she did or not or whether or not that helps but that’s what it looked like.

u/HandoAlegra 1d ago
I think that's exactly what she's doing. It looks like she's trying to keep pace with the wave. Not so much as balance, as focus and good timing

It's called a soliton. A wave moving forward as a whole without changing its shape.

The key is to maintain a consistent walking pace and not let the ground affect your footing.

I think you're good as long as you don't settle into place for too long. Literally, go with the flow.
That said, displacing the water like she's doing is exhausting. I've never done this, and I can feel my quads burning.

Is this some kind of amusement park? There's so many people crossing the water in different ways.

In China their version of local amusement parks often contain traditional Chinese architecture and lifestyle aspects as well. It's like if you went to an amusement park fused with a Renaissance Fair.
The one I went to had horseback archery exhibitions, ethical cockfights (they had little boxing gloves on their feet and it was sumo rules), a mock-naval battle with a static Chinese frigate in the lake, and at the end of the evening they had a massive stage play across a 400+ foot long stage with hundreds of actors playing out a classic Chinese story.
On top of that they loved to highlight traditional Chinese techniques for things, which OP's video is a great example of. Floating bridges are a classic Chinese design that aren't common elsewhere, so they chose to show that off here. If I had to guess they added the ropes course bridge as either a comparison (look how much faster/easier the traditional one is if you know how to use it!) or just because it's fun too.

Normally things like that that’s require balance helps with constant movement. When you stand still you will be fighting with the water and the bridge.

I'm pulling this completely out of my ass, but it looks like an amusement park in China. They can have some really niche themes, and this one looks like a "water crossing" theme park

I know nothing. Is this a challenge of some sort? Or a bridge for utility?

I think it's a challenge or a trust exercise, you can see another different "challenge" type bridge in the foreground too.

At first I didn't think it would be all that hard but after watching it a couple time, yeah I think I would fall or my timing would get off and screw me. I wonder how deep the water is? Probably wouldn't have been something I was thinking about until right before I was about to fall...
