    I recall someone once calling Mikhail Barishnikov a fag, and someone else pointing out that you shouldn't piss off a man that can lift a 100-pound woman over his head with one hand while balancing on one toe.

    I want to see the blooper reel. :P

    But seriously, that was really neat. I liked the guys in yellow playing jump-rope with one of the team members. :lol:

    Acrobats make it all look so easy. I can't even manage a handstand.

    It must be painful.

    Half-tangent:
    I know that novice ballet dancers find it extremely painful to stand on their toes for fifteen seconds.
    Professionals do it for a whole minute and make it look easy.

    I know that these gymnastics people's backs must hurt really bad. Or their hands. I can't imagine how strong their hands must be and how much that could hurt their fingers.
