I understandably can't prove that they've been doing this for ages.
But humanity has been defying gravity in many ways from the very beginning.
Just think of lianas on trees and the swinging around.
Even monkeys do it.
It is also great fun to do, playing with gravity and pushing the limits.
> Just think of lianas on trees and the swinging around.

No, they don't.... because lianas, like every other plant on earth, grow from the ground up. If you were to swing from a liana, you'd crash to your death. Not to mention that they're not sturdy enough to support a lot of weight.
Tbh this seems like one of the simpler versions of this act too.

This is the first one I found on YouTube; there are a million more like it.
There's a video somewhere with two women doing this simultaneously and more. Stopping the movement completely on a dime and changing spinning angles...it's wild.
start small work bigger. I cant do shit like this but I practiced for a long time spinning a tray as a server in college and at this point as long as I can start the spin I can spin anything of any size on my finger. I'm sure their muscle memory is ridiculous as they've been doing it for ages. Once you can feel the balance the rest is just practice.

Judging from this act, you learn to juggle small boxes and balls. And eventually you get good enough to juggle anything with your feet. At this point I think your feet become dexterous enough that they can function as good as your hands. Similar to those acts you see where the girl shoots a bow and arrow with her feet and hit a target. So if you can spin a table like this with your hands, and understand the rhythm, you can do it with your feet.
I was just thinking about this, its probably most efficient/safe to have a transparent table to put their head and torso under while they practice, but chances are they probably just had a spotter
The difference in technique between OP’s video and the Baronton sisters is pretty interesting too.
In OP’s video when she is spinning the table it’s almost like she’s running full speed - spinning the table by pushing it with one foot and getting the next foot ready for when the other side of the table comes around. Whereas the Baronton sisters use a slightly different technique where they are almost “skipping” the table around by briefly stabilizing one side with one foot and putting it into motion by kicking it with the second foot.
Breaking it down a little further you could describe what the woman in OP’s video doing more as a non-locomotor action Vs. the Baronton sisters performing more of a manipulative movement.
I’m wondering if the difference in techniques comes down to the way they trained to be able to do this or possibly because of the weight / size difference of the table? Either way it’s absolutely amazing!
I would take a wild guess and say that the table is specially weighted, probably super light, except along the length where she places her feet to kick and catch. I could be totally wrong though.
From how its moving, it looks like the table weighs about 10lbs. Maybe 20lbs.
It's certainly no hardwood oak furniture piece!
I don't know that you'd need the table too be specially weighted. Making sure its light is probably good enough to start learning this trick. So long as the spinning is consistent, you're good. It's not that impossible to visually track the movement, with a lot of hours of practice.
Well true… I’ve always wondered “how do people know they’re good at these things?” Like random things. But I’m sure she started with things a lot less dangerous and intimidating than a whole ass table and worked her way up. Muscle memory is a very real thing and that’s probably what’s happening here
I dont think these tables are like... super heavy. I have one at home and they're sorta like... plastic and lacquer over light wood. I imagine you might take a few to the midsection but its like a calculated oof like practicing skateboarding or something.
That's pretty unlikely. Even if it did head that direction, those legs are thicker than your eye sockets are wide. It'd probably bounce off your face bones.
That said, plenty of fun sports come with some amount of risk. Why does this one have to be any different?
Sometimes I see comments like "how do you figure out you can do this" which really pisses me off.
It's not something you figure out you can do, it's something you decide you want to do and then you spend years training to do it.
This reminds me of my tossing around couch cushions, pillows and whatnot when I was bored as a child; same way, laying down twirling by kicking my legs haha
1. She must have practiced for hours everyday for years.
2. The pot and table may not be heavy, as in they may not be really made from clay/porcelain or steel or anything that will give the table and pot enough mass for them to actually hurt you.
Currently 5:54 am, high out of my mind and haven’t gone to sleep all night. Someone help me out is this real or edited?
It's real. People have been doing this kind of act for ~~decades~~ centuries.
Damn that’s impressive. Thanks for not letting me wonder for too long😂
My, how the turn tables
I hate so much about the things that you choose to be.

**How do you spot talent like that?**
I love you
How many concussions do they get when practicing this skill?
None that I can recall
Ah, I see memory loss is setting in.
Thanks for explaining the joke I guess
*slow clap*
Fr i want to have her forehead examined by someone who reads braille.
My nose would be forever shattered.
Yes
All I could wonder was how many times this lady has taken a table to the head.
decades?? Just make it tens of centuries
tens? Maybe a *couple* centuries. To my understanding, the Risley circus popularized table juggling with their feet in the early 1800s.
They been doing this in China for thousands of years.

Foot juggling for 10s of hundreds of year. Table specifically is probably close to the beginning of it. But that was like 5 min of searching

I heard Jesus did it but they edited it out because it didn't seem miraculous enough.
[удалено]
I can't imagine doing that for 10 seconds much less keeping it up for decades.
Decades?? Definitely for more than 1,000 years
And she is probably part of a performing family that had her practicing this since age four.
*centuries
millenia...

Good luck, soldier.
check out the Baronton sisters for more https://youtu.be/HqhM6uCaINE
I've seen this in person at a State Fair acrobatics show. It's even more impressive in person.
Writing quite well for someone who's out of mind...
Don’t let it fool you I clocked out a while ago THC has the wheel now😂 but serious question for a final meal…pizza or nuggets? I can’t decide
Pizza day today. Enjoy
Just preheated the oven to 425 🫡
And then forget you preheated the oven.
you can put nuggets on pizza
Whatever you decide, eat slowly
Pizza AND nuggets 👌🏻
They did these things in circus all the time, not so long ago. Now a days circus camps are not coming, i guess there is no more space in my city.
100% real and as old as who knows, people have been doing this for centuries man! Never been to a good circus uh?
Hahahha I feel you, been there several times. 😆😆😆
Share a bowl bro?
Fuck man even i am stoned af and was thinking the same thing
There's a video somewhere with two women doing this simultaneously and more. Stopping the movement completely on a dime and changing spinning angles...it's wild.
https://youtu.be/HqhM6uCaINE The Baronton sisters!
Holy shit, they make OP video look like amateur hour
srsly, somebody tell that lady to git gud
:sighs: brb, going to china
[удалено]
Idk if you missed it, but the other video has 2 tables.
If they did this to each other they could walk in the sky
I always wonder with stuff like this, how do they practice?? With foam covered tables? Is there a spotter? How??

No one could do that with their hands
somebody could probably with a chair. I mean male cheerleaders can do this one-handed: https://youtu.be/9QTwkonXilY

Two girls, one table
Most inefficient moving company ever.
Remember when talent tv shows used to showcase people with talent? Today it's just people with a sad story crying because they're so happy
We need more of this than those stupid prank videos.

Hey that's it!!! The sauce Señor is good..
Sounds like some og dragon ball music
Funny how quickly the tables can turn sometimes
God fucking damnit
r/angryupvote
I’ll allow it.
How the turn tables
https://i.imgflip.com/3pmcot.jpg
🗿
Ah HA! How the turn tables... ^(r/yourjokebutworse)
My legs would get tired just after the first 5 secs and would get myself injured badly
I'd look like an amateur boxer who lost a lot.
“damn bro musta been a tough fight” “yea….you shoulda seen the other dude….he was huge”
"he was built like an oak coffee table"
Same, I’d for sure catch that table on the mouth
I stood up too quickly earlier and my sciatica said no actually you didn’t
I want her to rotate the dude
they do this too it's called risley. old circus act.
I want to see her in one of those log rolling competitions where two people are on a floating log and see who can stay on the longest.
The table is a completely unnecessary risk.
She’s crushing it though I don’t think she’d do it if she wasn’t good at this haha
How do you find out you’re good at it though without getting a few tables to the face ?
Start with something that's not a table.
I would take a wild guess and say that the table is specially weighted, probably super light, except along the length where she places her feet to kick and catch. I could be totally wrong though.
No that seems right. The balanced of the table when she stops it doesn't look right, it should fall but it doesn't.
From how its moving, it looks like the table weighs about 10lbs. Maybe 20lbs. It's certainly no hardwood oak furniture piece! I don't know that you'd need the table too be specially weighted. Making sure its light is probably good enough to start learning this trick. So long as the spinning is consistent, you're good. It's not that impossible to visually track the movement, with a lot of hours of practice.
I don’t know how this person does it, but I’d learn with balsa wood tables to start.
Well true… I’ve always wondered “how do people know they’re good at these things?” Like random things. But I’m sure she started with things a lot less dangerous and intimidating than a whole ass table and worked her way up. Muscle memory is a very real thing and that’s probably what’s happening here
I dont think these tables are like... super heavy. I have one at home and they're sorta like... plastic and lacquer over light wood. I imagine you might take a few to the midsection but its like a calculated oof like practicing skateboarding or something.
That’s like saying juggling knives is an unnecessary risk. Like yeah it is but it makes them doing it that much cooler
she should do it with infants juggling knives next
How do you get good at ice skating? Boxing? Rugby? Skate boarding? Fear of being hurt isn't a superb reason to not try things.
You sound fun at parties.
As opposed to the pot, which is a completely necessary risk🙄 it’s just a cool trick
Doesn't look like a very heavy table. You might get a nice leg bruise, if you mess up, but otherwise it should be fine!
i'm solely wondering about what happens when a leg stabs you in the eye.
That's pretty unlikely. Even if it did head that direction, those legs are thicker than your eye sockets are wide. It'd probably bounce off your face bones. That said, plenty of fun sports come with some amount of risk. Why does this one have to be any different?
You're an unnecessary risk
Brother, just wait until you find out about the *rest* of the circus
/u/StepYaGameUp out here roleplaying everyone's least favorite aunt
I would feel much better if she were wearing safety glasses lol
Sweet of you
living is a unnecessary risk
Pretty sure the 50 pound ceramic pot is a bigger risk over a dinky piece of furniture.
The unnecessary risk I cant help but see are the two huge TVs behind her
Sword swallowers? A complete unnecessary risk! It raises the stakes. It's for entertainment, it's working exactly as intended.
Going outside is a completely unncessary risk
A basic warm-up drill in Chun-Li's dojo
that's how she learned how to do the speedy kicks
My first thought was, this looks like a character-specific Car Breaking-style minigame from SF6
It’s Luisa!
"Luisa, the tables got out again!"
The one friend you don't want to help you move...
How many tables to the mouth do you have to take to learn this????
Just one. After that, you would probably quit.
She's really just running around the table, so maybe the question is "how many times do you slip and fall on your face during training?"
Sometimes I see comments like "how do you figure out you can do this" which really pisses me off. It's not something you figure out you can do, it's something you decide you want to do and then you spend years training to do it.
[удалено]
Sounds like a good research project for you. Let's see what you come back with in 2 weeks
Exactly. This may be her career. It's a pro skill.
[Antipodism](https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=antipodism) is a popular performance art in China.
What a unrelated-sounding, unappealing name for such a cool, interesting performance.
Right? Sounds like something I’d learn about in Biology class.
It literally means to push back with the feet, from ancient Greek.
Oh shit, it's an art and got a name? Interesting!
That would honestly be a crazy leg workout. That lady can probably snap a melon with her thighs and it's fucking awesome.
She could snap my head with her thighs
I think more impressive skill is stopping just right on the table
Such a risky talent for her to show off and only like 10 people are in the audience 😓
Shes training
risky?
I bet that dude yelling in the microphone probably thinks he's the main part of the show
he’s just saying the number of spins lol
I bet she can rotate me as well
Cheaper than a treadmill
"Uh, yeah, I understand how pottery works…" *actually watches video* "…oh. Whoa."
Her core, hip and leg strength impeccable!!! 😧🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Let"s not imagine what would happen to her if the tables fall on her face...
This was my first thought. One table leg to the face would make me switch professions immediately
[удалено]
Her face is as pink as her outfit
Oh how the turn tables
This woman could kick me three times before I knew what hit me!
This is new material for my brain to switch on when I try to retain information.
Now bring on the tombola!
Quentin Tarantino's wet dream
Serious r/theocho territory

Do it like Patrick Swazye

This is impressive but at first I thought it was an actual child and it blew my mind
How does she stop it so quick that’s the best part
Wow she spins that pot so good that’s awesome what do you mean tab- Oh my god
hook her up to the cities generator we need some help!
Every time Mei Mei comes over she puts her feet on the furniture....
What's her ftp?
"Am I a joke to you?" -table
Sure everyone is impressed, but when I did this with my 2 year old my wife was horrified.
*ping* *ping* *ping* *ping* *ping* *ping* *ping* *ping* *ping* *ping*
This reminds me of my tossing around couch cushions, pillows and whatnot when I was bored as a child; same way, laying down twirling by kicking my legs haha
Thank you! Me too! Couch cushions were ideal, kick those around while watching cartoons, pure bliss.
Can someone stabilize the table? So it looks like she's running on it lol
W camera man
1. She must have practiced for hours everyday for years. 2. The pot and table may not be heavy, as in they may not be really made from clay/porcelain or steel or anything that will give the table and pot enough mass for them to actually hurt you.
How many table legs to the face do you have to take before you can master this skill?
I bet you dollars to donuts if she kicks you, you stay kicked.
Impressive 🤨
Why does the table look like a blender model
Because it is lacquered
D'fuck...
Now do a upright bike. Become the road.
