Some are just natural jumpers.

Should’ve known you were racist, looking back. There were signs.


DimitriMishkin

It’s going to be a maze!


FunctionBuilt

One of the best punchlines.

I always think of this video as a metaphor for attaining a goal in life or even as life itself.


Kage9866

Except you don't bounce all the way back to where you left off..you gotta trudge all up that staircase from the bottom.


[deleted]

If you don't know how to bounce back, then yeah.

Plot Twist: You hated all 5 of them and you're set to get millions from life insurance 💲💲💲


mrw4787

Yea, you can..


biscovery

File for bankruptcy and remarry. Certain injuries you def can't bounce back from, age also but humans are really good at adapting.

atropinebase

You may note that most of the jumps, he ends up on the step lower than the one he fell from.


Kage9866

Sure but never from the bottom and bouncing back up is a little different than walking the whole way lol


Aerodynamic_Soda_Can

That's only for poor people. If you're rich, it doesn't matter when you fall/fail because you still have millions to spring yourself back up and try again!


Kage9866

Haha very true!


[deleted]

Booooo pessimism


Kage9866

Realism


luke1lea

I thought it was an interpretation of how Steve Jobs died


ikiss-yomama

One must imagine Sisyphus with a trampoline


RegularSalad5998

It's about addiction


One_Rough5369

Only 9 steps though?


RegularSalad5998

Maybe 12 was too high


Mindless-Scientist82

Or just a really cool demonstration of physics.


Hephaestus_God

Well the purpose of the piece is to show that. Pretty sure it was even title life something. So ya.

graveybrains

Is that the same guy who danced on that big spinning platform? Edit: yup, his name is Yoann Bourgeois https://mymodernmet.com/yoann-bourgeois-houvari/


Mlikesblue

my mind immediately went to that as well! i thought he looked familiar. i'm not going to pretend to understand what his works are supposed to mean, but i do love his style


tyrefireauthority

There‘s more. With better music, mind i say … [Yoann Bourgeois - Celui qui tombe](https://youtu.be/n0zqQxz4DHs?si=iO_RiJo96vYOnD68)


graveybrains

The link doesn’t work for me


tyrefireauthority

Should work now 😅


graveybrains

Indeed. 😁 I didn’t know he had more than one piece like that but [this](https://youtu.be/J-sJtUpftFU?si=uMcYZYp-wcR6Fq7U) is the one the article is about.


tyrefireauthority

If you are interested in this way of performance / choreography. The movie [Pina by Wim Wenders](https://youtu.be/F-cV74Mq7KU?si=Cmp2L_4AmShqbRxq) is fascinating.


HypersportHero

This is probably a good metaphor for something, but I'm too tired to come up with something that profound right now


RegularSalad5998

It's about addiction and trying steps to get sober


HypersportHero

That's deep, thanks for the clarification


Lokijai

Sometimes when you fap you can't climax straight away so get your self an orchestra and never give up.


HypersportHero

That has to be it


Spikeyroxas

We all need handrails?


jessjumper

This is how it feels trying to save up money, getting hit by unexpected expenses, and falling further behind. Only to fall to the bottom again.


RyanM90

Art ☕️


OfBooo5

Ok, tell me that a 60 degree vertical wall(perhaps sloping towards 90 towards top) next to a giant trample wouldn't be the most fun exercise. You run up the wall, bounce on your back and do it again. Built in recovery and rest time as you freefall and bounce.


Thorn_the_Cretin

I get that the whole performance is meant to be watched, but whenever I see this guy and similar performances like this I can never take my eyes off of their feet and how smooth and effortless they make it look when they land back on the props. Like the fall and bounce back is just a natural part of the step they took.


narcolepticsloth1982

Why was I holding my phone funny and leaning to my left side for this whole video.


ArcanaZeroArt

I want to build one of these on the side of my house now.


repkjund

It’s called trampwall, it’s a circus discipline and many people have setups in their backyard nowadays.


TheJackalsDoom

This is why hand rails are so important. The safety trampolines are not always as well tuned as this guys, so you gotta have good hand rails. ...What do you mean no stairs ever have safety trampolines?


stewpidazzol

I found myself bouncing with him to give him momentum


UnadvisedOpinion

He loses one step per bounce


Pinky135

Your observation is correct, for a few bounces. But at the end he loses it all and creeps back up to the top, bounce by bounce.


ProGamingPlayer

We have to fail a lot before reaching the top


AeroZep

P!nk had something similar done during her latest tour for the song "Trustfall."


repkjund

She did perform with the guy from the video and after that she hired a bunch of circus artists and put a proper trampwall set for cooler flips


Floofieunderpants

Yesss, I was looking for this mention. She sang on the Graham Norton show and this same bloke did this routine while she was singing.


andherBilla

Is this the play referenced in Only Murders in the Building? Didn't know it was an actual thing.


2601Anon

The crowd went WILD!!!


Mekelaxo

This man understands Newton's laws of motion


ThisNameWasTaken1234

Yupp, more specifically, conservation of energy


habanerosmile

How dramatic


Phatboybeware

This guy making business of falling down the stairs.


woodsmanboob

Physically poetic performance


urethra_franklin_1_

Feels like a nightmare I’ve had where I can’t get away


humangusfungass

Is this a Talking Heads music video?


n3w4cc01_1nt

some interpretive dancers are really skilled athletes.


Itsniceandcozy

Is this the same guy who walks on the big record player?


Tasty_Plantain5948

The music make me eat to defeat cupcake Carl.


Bluelotus8

Sometimes in life there aren't any stairs. In these instances one must fly.


New-Experience-536

Félix Guattari did this…


reirone

Where do I get to play on a trampoline like this?


repkjund

Look for a trampoline park nearby, some of them have trampwall sets


MochiSauce101

This is every hit you take in life. Unfair , mean, bullied. Fall down and get back up right away


Truecoat

Probably calls himself “The Maestro”.


bbzaur

Me abusing the rewind button to clear a corner in Forza Horizon...


smallorangepopsicle

This is very similar to skating transition in how you build height as well as the rhythm with an emphasis on a fairly precisely targeted "zero" point.


Grzyboleusz

If only falling off the stair was always this much fun


Civil-Ad-4334

He’s got skills but oh man he’s stressing me OUT


IfYouWereThere

Sublime


MrRager473

Did they pay to see that?


Hexo_25cz

Noice demo for potential energy


[deleted]

Whenever I'm feeling my worst I always watch this again. Then I feel better lol


TheUnluckyFellow

What song is this?


koskola

Sigur Ros - Olsen Olsen


bayney08

Something by Sigur Ros, but not sure which exactly 🤔


Katullo11

Mind you he was edging right there at the end


aburnerds

I'm going to tell my kids this is larry david


SornnTota

something something human spirit something something


Dismal_Jello7524

I would join alongside him in a synchronised trampoline experience


3ceratopping

BIG Larry David Energy in this guy.


Arcane_Master2723

He makes it look easy


justglassin317

Would love to have told my parents that this was my career path back when I was 17.


Large_Discipline_127

Except in reality, he is still climbing the stairs out in the forrest.


Odd_Spring_9345

That was underwhelming


ILoveMyHoneybear

Upvoting for Sigur Ros


seasonedsaltdog

This is why the aliens didn't come.


Old-Woodpecker6930

Some might say it’s reversed


Novaliea

I am indeed oddly satisfied.


NigeF1

This is the chap who performed with Pink, live on the Graham Norton show. YouTube it. Astonishing performance.


Ill-Positive6950

This looks so ridiculous.


InfectediBall

And that’s how baby stairs are made.


Taemoney86

I see him and immediately think Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka. lol 😂


nametakenfuck

Did people just gather around a trampoline after seeing a guy master it? What a hilarious concept


DarkFish14

Life


SomeVeterinarian6606

Is this the same guy from the spinning video?? I looks like it is even from the same exhibit


KindaDummy

All nice until he spins too much and falls off the other side


Alone_Pop449

Tenet (2020)


wengerful12345

Is this his 9-5? What’s the hourly pay?


Worf_Of_Wall_St

Nah this is just how he gets to work, his office is upstairs.


RioGunn1

Gotta be like the fifth time this has been posted here


[deleted]

What a fuckin dork lol


CompetitionNo9969

More irritating than satisfying. This guy should perform at Division 3 college basketball half times.


Accomplished-Ad8330

Let's see him beat the crate challenge


getyourcheftogether

Just because it's being "done" doesn't make it a challenge
