Only a small amount of people are born with this sort of flexibility, and even fewer develop it. No it’s not easy — it is really a special combination of training and genetics.

Watching these I couldn’t help but think of urban acrobatics and parkour: somewhat more gritty and less elegant to be sure, but also really impressive. Like the acrobatics video above, the pros make it look deceptively easy:

It's just amazing to see what kinds of things that people are able to do when they train and set their mind to it. I try to stretch each day but it's nothing like that! Tom Barr's comment amused me.

I guess this is what you do in China if you can't get a job in side of 400 ton stamping press. :D Sticking your leg behind your ear is hard enough, having a friend or two pile on to the leg now that’s impressive.

Lately I've been trying more agility based workouts after buying a trampoline for my kids. Little things like upside pushups and balancing on other body parts (one handed pushups, etc) are so amazingly strenuous if you're not sued to using those muscles, it's eye opening to say the least. Kudos to the guys and gals that can do this.. it's NOT easy! Definitely..
