    I don't know. To some degree we all specialise. Try to become better than other people at a particular thing. Often this is at the detriment of other skills though. While this guy can jump awesomely he probably can't pen an article as well as you can Rosa.

    We can't be good at everything, it just takes too much time. =P #olilemieuxtrampoline

    Ah ah! Quite an impressive act yes. It is sad though that Dralion ends somewhere next year.

    It's also impressive to see them live at their training center in Montreal, they practice almost every day, which could bring him to do this kind of stunt.

    As impressive as it is, training usually take 6 months to 1 year for the act to be perfect. It is nice to see them go :3 #olilemieuxtrampoline

    I saw Cirque du Soleil a few years ago back in DC. They really are group of talented people, I am not the least surprised at this show of acrobatic skill. I think those giant balls hes lugging around help him get more airtime. #olilemieuxtrampoline

    Anybody that seen a full scale Vegas production of Cirque knows that this is both totally legit and shockingly common. Those people are world class athletes and deserve the kind of cash and recognition awarded to the Mannings and Jordans of the world. I guarantee they workEd harder than those guys to be where they are. #olilemieuxtrampoline

    @Homerjay is utterly alone.: Yes, but sadly, the artistes of Cirque du Soleil are extremely badly paid and have no security whatsoever. If they are injured or sick, to bad. They are out and replaced. Apparently, even if they are extremely talented, the world is full of people with the same skills that are starving and willing to de anything to be part of the Cirque du Soleil. Life’s hard for an acrobat…

    @Homerjay is utterly alone.: As somebody who lives in Vegas and has seen these shows, most recently Ka, I can attest to having my jaw dropped for most of the show. #olilemieuxtrampoline

    @Possums: I saw O last week and I had the same assessment. Unfortunately, Robin is right.... They don't get the recognition (in every form) for what they do. Nobody even knows their names. It's a shame really. #olilemieuxtrampoline

    So much fun! I watch that a few times... incredible stuff. I was lucky enough to get to try a large trampoline once (it was for aerial dance practice) and it's definitely not easy stuff! My abs were sore as hell the next day from trying to keep my upper and lower body properly aligned so I wouldn't flop around like a fish. Oli makes it look so effortless. #olilemieuxtrampoline

    I bet this guy was the little bastard kid at his neighborhood pool, pissing all the lifeguards off doing tricks off the diving boards.

    I hated those kids. #olilemieuxtrampoline

    @Software_Goddess: Thats definitely not your typical run of the mill backyard kiddie tramp. The rebound elasticity ratio is awesome. Jumping from that height onto a normal trampoline would probably not feel so good...

    I want one too... #olilemieuxtrampoline
