    Default Hiking Gangnam Style

    Has anyone hiked a long distance using the "Gangnam Style" (horse riding dance) method of walking forwards? I'm sure this would be extremely difficult, especially with poles.

    I have not seen anybody doing the horse thing. However having lived in the ROK I can tell you a lot of aspiring Thrus hike Gangnam Style, but they all go broke by HF.

    For all of you that aren't sure what the OP is talking about, the video and moves are linked below.

    I warn you, if you click play, it will cost four minutes and twelve seconds of your life that you'll never get back.

    Link doesn't work. Thank goodness. I've already seen it, took a while to get it out of my mind.

    That song is an instant radio killer or channel changer. I can't hit the off button fast enough. There sure is a lot of crap music out there these days. Gangnam style, and almost everything Nicky minaj... Throw it out.

    I hate to say it, but this song is growing on me. It turns out that the song and video are basically making fun of an an exclusive area in Seoul that roughly the Korean equivalent to Beverly Hills.

    For what it's worth, my Korean American friends are totally at a loss as to why this song has done well with American audiences.

    I'm so confused, I'm not sure if I lost my horse or found a rope.

    I couldn't stop watching, through the whole movie. It's like a train wreck in progress, you just can't look away as bad as you want to...

    If you were inclined to walk into a gay bar, I think that would be the proper way to do it...

    So did I! The monty python technique is much more efficient, since the coconuts are so much multi-functional. They'd make excellent "bear bells" and also serve as your dipper, food bowl, template for impromptu hair cuts, emergency bra, and whatnot...

    It's my favorite song, but that's not important.

    Thank you Kayak Karl for the coconut idea. Train Wreck's emergency bra idea was brilliant.
