Chaos on the Amsterdam Canals - Collisions and Traffic Jams

[@DutchManticore]

To all the clueless people. This isnt what its like normally. Notice the large group of spectators. This is because there is a rowing match going on and for some reason its intersecting with normal traffic instead of being on a closed course

[@ratmanbug]

It all adds to the fun!!

[@MrSychnant]

Everyone who wants to have fun seems to be having fun (spectators included) Great day !

[@godspeedjourneys2661]

Nice capture. But what a silly thing to do to race boats in a tight canal.

[@sebrassino]

That is exactly what makes this race so entertaining. We usually row on wide lakes rivers and the sea. This year was an exception due to the extreme warm weather wich made everyone go onto the water again.

[@Quasihamster]

Ik praat geen poffertjes!

[@OldschoolDJ_Gerd]

For a bicycle race, roads are closed. For a rally or a hillclimb, roads are closed. For a boat race.. hey let's do this on the same water where everybody else is sailing :D

[@AdrianJNyaoi]

the four-way intersection needs a traffic light system lol

[@carot2003]

Maybe a roundabout ;-)

[@ChinnyChan1995]

I've only seen traffic jams on the road, but I've never seen a boat.

7:00 battle of Jutland, colourised

[@josephrobertvanderhoff8281]

I see this often ,here in Amsterdam ..In fact I my self own a long boat . We're gonna need a bigger kannel

[@vernselectraglide3018]

This is hilarious.

[@FraserAtSea]

This looks SO fun

[@gielkartner1220]

Erg slim om met een roeiboot de grachten in te gaan. 10 meter breed tijdens het roeien, wie heeft dat bedacht?

[@sebrassino]

@@gielkartner1220 het is een van de leukste wedstrijden van het jaar. Altijd spectacel en strijd.

[@dude4173]

This is how it always is. It’s really odd that people even put themselves in this situation. Hey! You wanna go boating where we spend 90% of the time in a complete cluster F?

[@josephrobertvanderhoff8281]

The cannels are way narrow ..Ahh boating fun in Amsterdam lol

[@kaptein1247]

sounds like good fun as long as you have a sturdy inexpensive boat

[@Alan_AB]

It's about time the Amsterdam Authorities made the canal system one-way

[@welshpete12]

But they are all going one way !

[@welshpete12]

🤣

[@gordonremsey8055]

The power of being Dutch, Heineken and Ganja all at the same time

[@Juan-ym6lu]

En ese lugar no te aburres

[@Tom-ln5yo]

Florida has the 'Chit Show' with boating mishaps. Amsterdam has the 'Shit Show'. Never laughed so hard.🤣

[@ratmanbug]

Looks some kind of rowing race going on.

[@antonbrum5492]

I know what the problem is, your bathtub is too small.

[@UnblockedOne2]

reminds me of the traffic in Nairobi, but on land

[@Johnmk2RS]

0:52 het zijn net wielrenners💁‍♂️

[@ZorbaTheDutch]

How the Dutch back in the day managed to navigate all the way to South-Africa and beyond is a bit of a mystery.

[@sebrassino]

We are still rowing at sea. This is just a race to spice up the canals and tempers abit ;)

[@rickvanschijndel3560]

5:31 denken dat ze alles mogen

[@zbudda]

A floating kitchen sink would have been the highlight in this canal...

[@welshpete12]

The one who wins , has the lest number of scratches !

[@MKOMKONNNN]

oars are for open water and skipper that know his shiiit

[@corvavw6447]

Gratis attractie.

[@zackbrumis7831]

Steady as she goes

[@Dutchsweetshid]

Now try to say grachten, the dutch word for city canals

[@pistonburner6448]

This seems intelligent.

[@adelinexp]

iedereen zou eigenlijk gewoon een vaarbewijs moeten halen lmao

[@Q8Bart]

They need a roundabout on the water ;)

[@sebrassino]

Hahaha yes!

[@chickenwing111]

Amsterdam is great but the water in the canals is NASTY.

[@merryhunt9153]

How to make a million dollars: invent brakes for boats.

[@sebrassino]

Yeah lets call them engine's 😂

[@zalmaflash]

An excellent display on why they don't have guns.

[@sebrassino]

😂 You would love the atmosphere
