Wow.
Wonder how much pain he went through to get to this level.

I used to see Cirque du Soleil once a year when Cisco used to buy tickets for its employees. This was many years ago. They do a lot of fun stuff with trampolines. There's one where they have two long, narrow trampolines crossing each other in an X pattern. The performers then do similar crazy acrobatics, going really, really fast down the trampoline, crisscrossing within inches of each other.
It's not as depressing and surreal as South Park makes it out to be.

It's a shame the music they use for a family show is full of NSFW lyrics.

It's actually only in the last couple weeks I've been really noticing this kinda of Youtube culture change whereby if anything strange/crazy is posted, everyone claims it's fake.
Kinda socially interesting.

Neat but hardly unbelievable. Simple physics.
The music sucks.

You should see it under full light and atmospherics! The platforms disappear so all you see is him standing in mid air.

I was thinking the same thing. Makes it awkward to pass on to grandparents.

This was many years ago though... I'm not that mean now.

I'm pretty sure that comic is photoshopped.

Definitely. The pixels are all wrong, and the shadows are obviously faked. 'Shopped. Definitely.

It's in one of their touring shows, not a resident show here in Vegas. Mystere has a pretty awesome Tramp act and LOVE has trampolines as well.
But be sure to check out KA and LOVE while you're here... or O or Mystere.

I saw Love last time I was there and LOVED it! I really do want to see "O" but 100+ per ticket is hard to justify these days. This weekend will be more of a "business" trip... mostly sports betting and blackjack.

It's the closing act to the touring show Dralion. I have seen Dralion around 10 times and find it amazing every time. Damn, guess I'm going to watch the DVD now.

The do not use the music from the youtube video in the show. The act and song go by the name "Kamande" and is very family friendly. Very heavy on the drums.

Right, but if they're promoting it on the 'net, why use music like that?

There's a gymnast at our local gym club who does something very similar. Not nearly as high or as complex, though. But, he jumps against the wall, runs up it a bit and does Spidey poses.

It's not an official promo video, it's the trampolinist trying to get laid.

It is not fake, I saw the documentary in the making of that wall its surface is made of some material on which the artist can stick to it and walk on it.
As for the performance if you ever saw those guys from up close you would realized how much they are built and can do some extraordinary things.
