He must have lightweight prosthetic legs, check the centre of balance ,impossible otherwise :sneaky2:

 

Maybe.

 

Have you ever seen someone do something similar in the flesh.

 

My missus is the Artistic Director of an Integrated Dance company (They have able and disabled bodied dancers).

 

Her company have had dancers with no legs, dancers with 1 leg and dancers with 2 legs who have been paralysed and due to being wheelchair bound have wasted away. Some of the movements they can perform is unbelievable.

 

Legs are really heavy mate, once the weight is removed you would be surprised what can happen.

That was the point I was trying to make, legs are heavy and produce a lot of leverage so certain gymnastic moves must become easier applying the simple rules of physics. Still and achievement and a show of strength, not denying that, especially the one arm chin-ups!! :thumbup:

all good mate.

 

from your first post I thought the you meant the COG had changed because he has prosthetics. I was just trying to say that you dont have to loose the legs as regular legs could effect the COG if there had been a problem of some sort.

 

Like the vid I posted of the french breakdancer - Junior.
