...then I came across this video on YouTube. Apparently it's a form of Indian gymnastics or martial arts. I don't want to spoil what actually happens or how it's done because the actual start of the routine is pretty astounding.

2. Wow, watching that now. The standing up while the guy is balanced on his head...

....bit is astounding.

And you can see even he is under a lot of physical stress. Just amazing stuff- thanks!

Oddly cool music for it too...

4. that was cool

Good music choice too.

Why isn't cool stuff like this in the olympics or something? I think it's way more impressive than regular gymnastics stuff. Somehow more people need to be exposed to this sort of amazing talent.

One pole is stationary and the other spins. No one does it with such grace and beauty as Felix.
