She’s in St. Petersburg, Russia.
This was so funny that it brought me to tears. Yes. Tears of joy.
At one point I thought she was going to jump into the river!
Good tune too!
So, if I am ever depressed and in a bad mood, all I will need do is play this video to put a smile on my face.
I love the reactions of the passersby. Hooray for casual Friday.
I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU DENIED US THE JUMP-INNA-RIVER SHOT.
cheers
St Petersbugh? Jees, I thought sure it was Epcot. You had fun, I had fun, what a great start to the weekend.
And gone all week? Wish my wife could pack as lightly as you seem to.
You know, I knew I loved Amanda before. Then I saw this video, and I loved her all the more. Then I saw the “Where in Austin” video, and…well, is there a word stronger than “love”?
Really,really sweet
I think you should do a “Where the hell is Amanda” segment at least once a month…
Amanda must have been who Twain was thinking of when he said “dance like nobody’s watching”.
Amanda is just so wonderful… what a way to brighten up our day. I hope she’s had a blast in St. Petersberg (sure looked like she was!).
What an incredibly wonderful way to start Friday morning.
Oh, and Steve from the comment above… get back to work, you slacker and just watch from home. hehe
Go Rocketboom! Go Go Go!
Glad to see you are even wider world wide! Very funny.
Yay! That was awesome. I was missing Amanda so much because she was away, but now I’ve gotten a lillte bit to hold me over. Thank you internet!
I just watched it again and think that Amanda kicked a pigeon away from that prime dancing location near the water.
It’s funny the second time around.
And those buildings are amazing.
Russia looks like an intersting place to visit.
Thanks for sharing it with us. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten this kind of impression of Russia.
well, at least she doesn’t do “the kick”
such a spaz!
Damn! I didn’t discover Amanda until AFTER she’d already danced through Austin. Had I only known…
hilarious; my day is almost complete, now all i need to do is just watch it one more time.
Crackin’ stuff!
Loved the pas de peux with passerby. Why not a companion piece entitled, Who the Hell Is That with Amanda?
Keep up the great work. Fast forward, Amanda!
Amanda, I want to bear your children.
about amanda: did you see her moonwalk? pffff in dutch: kijk hoe ze die moonwalk doet_strakk!!
Bollywood in Petersburg - West meets East - multikulti.

Should we expect an expose on Russia now? If yes, I’m very excited!
However, the song is Ukranian.
two words:
dance lessons.
Agrees With Peteski, would have thought youd be a better dancer
You have to appreciate moves like that! Sadly I feel more like the “Older Generation” lady these days.
That girl ain’t scared.
That was definitely worth the wait.
Amanda - you got your groove on, girl!!! lol
I think there should be a segment entitled, “Who the hell can KEEP UP with Amanda?”
Awesome stuff, Rocketboom! Keep shakin’!!
Keep it rolling friend! Really enjoy.
WOW, just say you on CBS, you are the face of Vlogging
(i haven’t posted in a long time)
Nice to see something new and relaxed in our by the clock lives. Keep it up!
Amanda is in various locations in St. Petersburg, Russia.
Goofball dance
but hot
Found you on CBS tonight 8/19/05.
Nice find!
The story on the CBS Evening News tonight was spectacular! This is the beginning of something Really Big, and you are at the center of it!
Way to Go!

I Love this site! This is what it is all about. I would like to donate a Simple business ($700 value) that anyone can participate and earn money everytime someone said yes. RocketBoom would benefit every single time. http://www.fcbpro.com/now will benefit RocketBoom! You guys deserve to be paid. This is great!

Heard about your site on the news today and thought I’d see what’s crackin.
what a relief from this crazy world….. did tv elaine teach amanda how to dance? i loved every bit of it.
dancing visionaries. you rock!
This is so damn funny snot is flying out my nose!
That’s not how she really dances. Duh. It’s a joke.
That’s a keeper…
Perfect way to start the day.
Weirdly, this was one of the funniest rocket boom’s.
Laughed uncontrolably. Loved the dance.
Ok, ok I watched it three times. What a great concept!
This is why I love you Amanda. Good tune too!!! If any one is interested it is an Ukrainian folk song sang in Ukrainian , not a Russian song. Big difference ! But the video is a blast and Amanda brought me to my knees.
Yes, but is it art?
Just saw you guys on Sky News, U.K.
Cool i d e a, cool site.
Great Stuff!!
…and I just saw you on the news in Hong Kong.
Way to go to everyone involved in Rocketboom! Just saw you last night on the CBS Evening News. The story about Rocketboom was the most practical thing I’ve seen on the newscast since Dan Rather left the anchor desk. No only can Amanda deliver a good honest story, but she can really dance as well. Thanks for putting a smile on my face! I plan to watch the I-cast daily!
Outstanding!
If there were an Amanda segment on every CBS News segment, the program would shoot to # 1 in the ratings. Having said that, I’m glad she’s not on CBS News.
The real question (for those of use who missed it) is can I find the CBS Evening News segment anywhere online?
So awesome. And boy can she dance. So excited it’s scary! - i was down a bit just before going out to my girlfriends party but i’m feeling cool again now. :)
Thanks! :)
incredible!!! amanda rocks
WOW!!! First time watcher, but I LOVE it!!!! I saw a segment of rocketboom on TV and had to check it out for myself, and now I think I’m hooked!
Keep it up Amanda!!!
Isn’t the first link (as in item 1 in update) really to the airport in St.Petersburg, Florida, not St.Petersburg, Russia?!
i do not want to put quick time on my machine and it wont let me play rocketboom so now what do i do
Amanda,
I saw a story on rocketboom
on the TV news. I must say
I love your wedsite. I loved
Friday’s clip from Russia.
You are a great dancer!
Joni
Yeah amanda… I want to have the same breakfast… You´re sure there was nothing in it?
Tancuj tancuj vykrucaj, vykrucaj!!!!
giggity giggity.
Totally awesome dancin’; I want to know who sang that song! It was awesome! Made my day! So did Amanda and her dancin’!
Poor Amanda… she goes off for a quiet holiday and a lie down after hundreds of episodes and you make her film this.
The funniest Rocketboom ever!
The dance was so funny, now you have me running around Stuttgart, Germany dancing like that.
Maybe the dance will be contagious and soon everybody will be doing it.
This should definitely be a continuing meme. I love it. The best part was when Amanda jumped in front of the two tourists, and everyone else’s reactions, really. :)
Everyone should make their own travel videos like that.
Great video, but Amanda needs to add a few more dance moves.
Absolutely terrific!
CBS news site had an article about “rocketboom.com” and came for a visit.
Amanda Cogdon is a refreshingly spirited, young lady. Thoroughly enjoyed her antics (Is that dancing these days?) to a neat tune. (Is she the Six Flags Dancing Old Man?)
Now, I must check out the rest of RocketBoom and Amanda’s previous vlogs.
Cheers!
I tried to send you an e-mail at story@rocketboom.com. Is that correct? It’s titled Internet on-line Tutoring located at http://www.academicone.com
Enjoyable music and awesome video! Good job!
OMG! Look at the comment spike! Awesome. Y’all are inspiring. Way to keep with this.
That tune was so perfect.
You guys missed one place she is.
Frickin’ adorable town: population Amanda Frickin’ C.
That was hilarious.
Forget about where she is, I just LOVE her little dance !
Hey Kids, let’s do the Rocketboom !!
This reminds me of “Mario is Missing.” Nicely done. Great dancing Amanda.
in dr. zhivago asked, “can she play the balalaika”, “can she play?!”, “can she play?!”, how about “can she dance?!”
my God is she the cutiest babe on the Earth or what!
yeah baby! LOL
Hi Rocket Boom!
I saw your segment on CBS Evening News. Way to go! I bet there must be news moguls that are nervous!
Amanda is one heck of a news anchor! Fresh, funny, yet down to earth and professional! She probably wrote herself a page into the history books of the Internet as well as modern media communications!
Keep up the good work!

i especially like “pony-ride dance” (with slurred Russian Vodka accent). but don’t drink Vodka not good for “younger generation”.
the robo-cat clip was quite enjoyable yet sad. a bit reminiscent of Leprechaun 3 or 4. amazing medical science and bioengineering these days. (hiccup, slurred russian accent, a bit too much vodka). also try on slower and faster play speeds “pony-ride dance”.
the most delicious and classiest babe on internet (hiccup) Amanda XOXO
should be Rocket-Go-Boom themesong (hiccup, darn Russian Vodka accent), is hypnotising.

You’r in Russia, but the songs Ukrainian, whatever, still works plus its funny
Amanda you Rock!
I wonder . . . if someone sent in a video of a huge mob doing the Amanda-a-go-go I think Rocketboom would HAVE to put it on.
I loved this - can you believe I was there 38 years ago, in the days of cine film!!
I know no one is reading these anymore but anyway here is some Ukrainian vocabulary that was immediately useful to me: Pidmanula (female, pidmana for males) is a *verb* for promising something then flaking out; the song goes Monday you said this, that, you promised me kisses, etc, etc.
Sorry guys, I’d say it’s really bad taste to dance to this great Ukrainian folk tune in front of a St. Petersburg revolutionary war victims memorial (the one on the fields of Mars).
Amanda, next time try it at the Arlington Cemetery, please.
that made me laugh like a loon! excellent!!
amazing how invisible you can be to the people around you.
Amanda, you are so full of energy! I watch this every time I login. This must be the best I’ve seen anywhere on the net.
You are the face of Rocketboom!!!
Fantastic, better than Where’s Waldo!
classic.
