This show is over 40 years old. Every1 in the Netherlands knows this show, watching with all the familie was always great.

[@mandje2002]

1973 so 51 year old (37 seasons)

[@stonedmountainunicorn9532]

Any Dutch person over 25-30 has to have good memories from this show. On the camping with the grandparents in the summer vacation

[@TheBaronessIsAwesome]

The funniest thing about this show is that the contestants can be divided into two groups: the ones who take it super seriously and who have spent the better part of the year perfecting their contraption, and the dads who decided to participate during a night of heavy drinking at the pub. The latter are funny and are just in it for the lulz "yeah, we're dressed as chickens because we're chicken farmers, wheeeee!" but the first group are really the funniest, because they're at the start explaining all the wind resistance and aerodynamics and laws of gravity, only to sink like rocks in 2.5 seconds.

[@incognitofoxo1559]

This show is the best. It had been running for years and years in the netherlands.

[@BommeltjeNL]

This show aired on Dutch television since 1973 and it visited almost every (water rich) town in the Netherlands. It was always great fun and nothing was too crazy. The Red Bull and Takeshi Castle shows came much much later.

[@angievandebroek5917]

These were the original shows. This year there were new versions broadcasted by RTL4. The location where it took place was "De Efteling".😊

[@anemdo89]

I definitely watched this show as a child, good memories! It was so exciting when they came to my town one day. So many beautiful designs!

[@JoeyP946]

I always loved how happy and positive the whole thing was. Just having fun and doing silly things!

[@DanDanDoe]

Ah yes, old-school Ter Land, Ter Zee en in de Lucht! Makes me feel nostalgic. There were some contestants who would become regulars, either by trying to be the fastest or build the most beautiful creation. I think there was a prize for fastest time and a prize for most beautiful or special creation. Every episode is in a different town, so it goes all over the Netherlands, and I think the first bit was in Belgium. The presenter is just one of the regular presenters of the Dutch public television. It seems to be a recap episode, because there's probably at least two decades of footage in this video. I was born in '95 and never saw the ice event, for example.

[@emilybakker3742]

Same I am from 92

[@gwaptiva]

You're right that this might have worked in the UK, except that they would've made the mistake of hosting it a Alton Towers or some other custom-built location, whereas the Dutch have plenty of little towns that have water ways to host this kinda thing. Imagine diving into the Manchester Ship Canal... not shown was an event where people had to jump off a high platform with some flying device and fly as long as possible (to land in the water), and the "race day" which was always held at the circuit at Valkenswaard, with events such as the caravan race you saw, but, more importantly the "reverse race" where the cars had to race around the circuit going in reverse

[@DutchXFangirl]

This was the show everyone sat down for. It was always so much fun to watch! I love the way you're so invested. That's how we watched as well. Predicting up front if someone would make it or not. 😂 They have been airing a new version of this show quite recently. Haven't watched it yet.

[@DrQuatsch]

This show is nostalgia. There were a variety of different competitions, and every episode was focussed on one of them. Every show was also recorded in a different town/city in the Netherlands. And in the end you had 2 winners. The one with the best time and the one with the best "looking" vehicle. That's why you see many contraptions that look good but definitely aren't suited for the task at hand. Through the years there also have been other prizes, like the prize for the most unlucky contestant, the prize for the most original idea, etc.

[@baskoning9896]

Yes, they often had a 'most cool design' price. The 3 fastest to accomplish the task got the gold, silver and bronze. There where a lot of variants of this show, like going over a canal on a very thin strip of wood, having a boat that could go up somehow to reach 10 meters, making a glider to see who got furthest, and much more, but the most often task was the slide down onto the water, then go to the bell as fast as possible. They did different towns each time, and the people just loved to go and watch everybody get wet, to tinker with their creations and see them fail (or work, rarely).

[@iamaloserkid]

this show was my youth! really loved watching it and was a true family show, where any age enjoyed it

[@Solamnic31]

I was a kid when they taped an episode of this magnificent show in my hometown, It was a fabulous experience.

[@Kami69247]

Yeah i know Takeshi's castle, it used to be on comedy central if i recall correctly. A decade or 2 ago.All of this was before that I think. 90s footage in the most of this compilation.

My childhood and way longer then that! It's like Takeshi's Castle but from years earlier! Even though we don't have the show anymore, it's still being done. Plus we all knew the hosts from other programs. Love it! And they made their own bikes, floats, skates, just name it, from scratch, themselves!

this show started in 1980 this show was so much fun to watch it was something to stay home for and yes you have other prices such as the most beautiful and most original that kind of stuff fun fact they have tried to sell this show to other countries but is didnt sell because this show only works in the netherlands we love this kind of stuf

[@lidewijvos]

This show was great together with "spel zonder grenzen"

[@roxstar5088]

This pushed me straight into a nostalgia rabbit hole 0.o! It was basically a combination of an advanced soapbox race with a parade carts. People spend months creating the most creative and funny carts and outfits. They actually have restarted the show this year but I doubt it can capture the same energy and mood as times just has changed. I doubt a bike with some cardboard creation buit around it will capture the same attention with everything we have now on TV and the internet. Kinda sad to see what we have lost, that we were happy with so little back in the day. If you like, we also had "Spel zonder grenzen" which had the same vibe.

[@robert_trumpeteer]

This is Nostalgia for me, watching with my parents and brother. Having a good laugh about it and wishing the participants reached the other side.

I love your content! It's so funny to hear how my culture comes across to foreigners. The show is such a throwback, so many "I remember this!" moments. Some of these are iconic!

[@teunmichiels1108]

A foto in a English newspaper of a pilot who jumped of the Tower Brige (He was secured) gave a dutch tv director ( Rene Stokvis ) the idea for the show. It was on tv from 1973 till 2011. There is a new series but it's not the same for me. Then i was a kid loving that stuff now i am older and it's just not the same. PS thanks for the video and your honest reactions.

[@dimitri877]

Oh wow, this brings back memories! "Fiets 'm erin" was also a derivative of this show concept, still adopted by Red Bull to this day; "Red Bull Stalen Ros" (Across the Water). Let's face it, Red Bull makes us adults act like irresponsible 16-year olds with their "This will just be fine" mentality. And they're right, healthy dose of critical thinking required.. ..but you'll be fine!

[@barryschalkwijk9388]

I think this is easily the best original concept from Dutch TV.

[@AshleeDelano]

Watched this as a kid, I also remember watching this compilation episode before. Also seen Takeshi's castle on Dutch TV, and there was a Dutch version of it.

[@KevinCruijssenQuuador]

This was such nostalgia for me, as a Dutch 32 y.o. I've never seen the one with the ice skaters before, but one of those (with the tie ropes) I remember seeing live-ish on TV as a kid. The very fast guy in the glasses was a regular that tried to have the best time for quite a few years in a row iirc. There were quite a few regulars (Johan Vlemmix, who entered 100 times in total and then became a jury-member, is the most well-known one), although of course most people entered for the first time usually. And to answer some of your questions: - As for why some of them look very well-made, as kind of carnival wagons; there were usually three separated prizes to win: one for the fastest, one for the best-looking/creative one, and one for the most unlucky one (usually failing just before the finish, or going very fast past the bell without ringing it, or getting pretty seriously injured, and stuff like that). - As for the time period: the very first one was in 1973, and (apparently) it's still active today. Although I personally saw it for the last time around 2008-2010. - The guy talking about the show and the whales, and you asked about whether he's famous: that's Ron Boszhard. He's been doing TV and theater for quite a while, and he was the presentator for Te land, ter zee en in de lucht between 2007-2010. - This video only showed some of the events, but over the decades there have been a total of 26 different ones. - (And yes, I also know Takeshi's Castle, although I've only seen it a few times, and usually on a UK or other foreign television channel, when we were just changing channels randomly. I don't recall seeing it on a Dutch TV channel.)

[@RavenSpawn-o4n]

the nostalgia you this just hit me with is insane

[@cynthiavanderhorst3759]

It started in early 70's and it's been on the air on public tv for over 40 years. The presenter you referenced to is a well known Dutch TV dude, but he's nothing compared to the legends who have presented this show in the past. There are loads of different contests as you could see in this compilation. I've only attended one once (as a child) the backward car race. It's epic! It's been off the air for about 10 years I think, but since this summer a commercial tv show (linked to the lottery) has taken over and brought it back on the air. It is no where near the quality it used to be though :(

[@palantir135]

Within this program there was a championship riding backwards, Achteruitrijden, in a car; preferably with a Daf because they could drive backwards as fast as forwards.

[@lindabroer8995]

So many memories on this show. Always loved to see the carnaval troupes with their beautiful designed vehicles. As for the announcer: yes he is a BN’er or ‘Bekende Nederlander’ (famous Dutch person)

I always watched this show with my dad we loved it

[@erics320]

I loved this on tv. There also was a caravan race, driving backwards race, a flying race with self made flying contraptions, a bathtub race with manual driven bathtub boats and motorized bathtubs, those were scary fast. Some of these were cancelled soon because it became dangerous.

[@robinkuiperij3089]

You ask, you recieve.🤣

[@fuseblower8128]

The game with the slide into the water originally comes from the Frisian city Harlingen. It's called "tobbedansen" (tub dancing) named after the nickname of Harlingers, tobbedansers (tub dancers). We used to have it every year during the annual "visserijdagen" (fishing days). Was a lot of fun.

[@2012inca]

Suggestion to watch Dutch car racing while pulling caravans on a racing track. It is total chaos with caravans and cars fliping over. Also watch Dutch backwards racing where cars race each other in reverse gear on a racing track, . In general cars go slower driving in reverse gear but we he had a car here called DAF which could go really fast in reverse too that is how backwards racing came to be. Just search Google with the terms: achteruit race. Achteruit race means racing backwards with cars. It is the top video it shows backwards racing and caravan racing in one video P.s. This is also from Ter Land Ter Zee en in de Lucht tv program.

[@Kami69247]

I think we have the best technical university in the world with TU Delft. 7:02 So i'd not say this show is the reason for it.

[@Zarosian_Ice]

A more accurate translation for the show is "on land, at sea, and in the air" signifying the different types of events they held. Not only was it about pageantry, but also advanced engineering (often carts would exists of multiple parts that could break loose from one another, an example being a combination of a boat cart, where the cart detaches upon entering the water launching the boat forward). Most often the goal was to ring the bell inside of the "zeepkist" (translating to soapbox, ) before it completely broke apart, the rules generally stated however that they did not have to survive the ordeal as long as it got you to the bell, in other editions i recall having to hook your contraption onto a hook, but more often than not it was a bell. Each group of contestants were timed, so the aim was to be the fastest to hit the bell preferably with a surviving "zeepkist" fighting against the time others had placed, there were also pageantry goals for the best looking "zeepkist", i don't recall if there were rewards for the winners. As for the different courses well, you'll see a lot of different types of them in the compilation. As for enjoyment, anyone liked it honestly, it was a family show, i'm still sad we lost this time, i believe somewhere during 2002-2004 we lost all the great Dutch shows, they just came to an end and nothing really replaced them, as with the UK and the US, it's all reality TV at this point.

[@SanderEvers]

I used to love this show. Sadly it's long gone.

[@Bl1ndGuardian666]

I kinda remember it was as very stormy day when that came out, so I think the freezes had something to do with the stormy weather that night that special episode aired

[@mcorrelje]

think the reason why this was fun and succesful is first the different locations, we have lots of canals and harbours where we can host these kind of shows. But also the not beiing too serious and having a beer combined with a tiny bit of a challenge / engineering (there was always a twist and not just straight forward as a race down hill as mentioned Red Bull does). It was always in good spirit and yes there was a price for best looking vehicle. Universities, carnaval members everybody had a challenge so people were coming together.

11:20 OMG yes that japanese show has been on Dutch TV for a while too. Man, I loved it haha

[@roykliffen9674]

I know the Japanese have some "similar" shows, but it has never really shown in the Netherlands. What I've seen of it those games are much more vicious, if not sadistic in its failure modes. Those "Te Land, Ter Zee, en In De Lucht" (On Land, At Sea, and In The Air") shows were a traveling TV-show that often got invited by (small) towns to create an event during the summer months. It started in 1973 with "Vlieg Er Eens Uit" where people tried to fly as far as possible in self-made aircraft launched from a platform (yes, Red Bull adapted that concept). The shows ran until 2011 having extended the concept with different weird competitions over the years.

[@joyceschouten8727]

[@Fantaman900]

Talk about the tip of the iceberg. I'm mid 30's and watched so god damn many episodes of this show. They had all kinds of challenges. The caravan races and reverse races where before my time. DAF produces semi trucks now but back in the 60's and 70's cars like the DAF 66 with Variomatic (CVT) transmissions that go as fast backward as forward.

[@lindabroer8995]

Some of these events were quite dangerous. The really old ones with cars were definitely dangerous but also some of the more modern events were dangerous. That’s why there are divers in the water to help the people that fall in escape from their vehicles as fast as possible

[@dutchman7623]

There are rewards for: - fastest time - best decoration - bad luck It is about building something together as a team. Promoting your club, city, or charity. And have fun!
