    Seen these 2 guys before and was totally amazed. Not only at the balance but also at the core and upper body strength they possess. Unbelievable dedication to their craft to get to this level

    Holy shít!
    That's serious strength. What sort of training would these guys have to be putting in to get to that level?

    The bit at 2:13. I have no idea how his back didn't break. Also 6:30...that is not human.

    That was ridiculous!! Years of dedication behind that building the strength for all of those moves, never mind putting the actual show together!

    I dont' remember all the amazing **** I saw in that vid, but the two things sticking in my mind right now is the dude doing a no handed headstand on the other guys neck while he's in a plance, and the leg curl up and down with dude handstanding on his feet.

    The Cirque comes to the O2 every so often. Saw "Quidam" in 09, it was unreal. All for less than the price of seeing some jumped up tramp from a reality show miming some crap!
