Marble Racing on the Beach, a Highpants Pastime.

The use of gravity alone to propel shinny glass balls is an oddly satisfying pastime that is fully Highpants certified. Marbles are after all a kinetic machine that beautify displays both gravity and motion. Hardcore marble maniac and YouTuber Jelle Bakker of Jelle’s Marble Runs has captured the action and one on one marble action doesn’t get much more frantic than this. Hell, there’s more overtaking than a Formula One race.

Presented for your viewing pleasure is the video that will take you back to the day when playing in the mud wasn’t only possible but also very likely. Time to dig the clinkers out of the closet and find a hill. Sit back relax and prepare for an epic race that even Da Vinci would be proud of.
