Have a seat

Have a seat.

OK, so how did he do that? Pretty cool.

Maybe he just has the world''s strongest ankles.

His foot was planted firmly to the ground. I was wondering if there was a metal support in his shoe with some sort of metal pipe running up his pants leg leading to a seat for him to sit un that was in his pants so it was hidden. Picture a pipe screwede into the ground then pent into a small seat and hidden in his shoe/bottom side of pants leg leading to small seat. If he was balancing I think he would have gotten shakey after awhile. He was not wavering at all.

I'll bet good money that's it asscherisme - check out this vid, they show how they do something similar at the end: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-qq2KcUo40



Sure makes you do a doubletake, though!

that is EXAACTLY the conclusion I came to also - that he was completely supported under his clothing by a metal chair form fitted to his body and supported underneath him in the box he is sitting on via his shoe. He couldn''t move because the seat would likely bounce since it cannot be that thick. His butt looked funny though so I know he''s sitting on something - his cheeks are squished but his pants aren''t lol

Okay, maybe it''s too early to be fully alert, but it took me until about halfway through to realize that he wasn''t sitting in anything. I kept wondering what the big deal was and why people were staring.

You could clearly see something under his shirt as the video panned around his back. I assumed there was a support of some kind running from the his shoe, up the back....

It does look very very cool though, doesn''t it? Well-executed.

I would imagine that would get fairly uncomfortable after an hour or so ... kudos to whoever designed the system, and to the guy carrying it out!

I love the expressions of wonder the camera-person managed to capture.

I was thinking the same thing since her butt looked odd, like something was in his pants and the back of his pant leg was touching the platform. Very cool. My legs would cramp so that takes skill!

well-executed - definitely makes you do a double-take
