Motion on Monday... again.




But this week it's a bit different than last week's "edition" (even though both weeks' posts occurred at the ball park). Between innings and after the game Saturday night, a Russian bar trio performed. I wasn't sure what that was when I first heard the expression. Basically, it involves an extremely athletic woman standing up on a somewhat-flexible bar while the two men standing at either end of the bar hurl her up in the air. She then comes down and lands on the bar.

I have trouble walking and chewing gum at the same time, so I was truly impressed. It was a true challenge trying to capture the motion with my camera because, as you'll see, she went REALLY high:











































Ain't that somethin'?

Wow.
I mean, WOW.

  14. I saw a Russian bar athlete ( I think we can definitely call these women athletes) on TV not too long ago, and this is so impressive. Great shots, because at the speed they go and vertical distance they cover, it must not have been easy to catch with the camera. Great WW post. Have a great day.

  43. That's amazing. I wonder how hard it is to be the guy on the bottom. Initially, I was thinking that she's the only one who's really doing any work, but I bet that's not the case at all.
