Cirque du Soleil member Oli Lemieux would be a superhero if the world existed on trampolines. While most of us are content to bounce up and down (and occasionally fall off and break a leg), when you put Oli on a trampoline he leaves physics behind him. The man runs up walls and bends gravity in whichever direction is appropriate to make backflipping off ledges look effortless.
Since Cirque du Soleil requires the French to defy science whenever possible, we offer up this video of the Montreal acrobat during a practice, showing why Cirque has been selling out in Vegas for so long.

i agree with some of u guys comments but dont blame rap or "jungle music" for the lack of parenting some of u may possess. this is a free country and in this country we are allowed to express ourselves however we would like....if u dont agree then simply turn it down...Rap is a great way to b creative poetically and is going to be around for a long time! So if u dont like the so called "jungle music" then shut the hell up and turn it down

Since you asked, you're a prude. Why is it that Americans have no problem at all with movies and television programs in which people are butchered like cattle, but the mere suggestion of something sexual freaks them out? Once a Puritan, always a Puritan, I suppose. Grow up.

Yes, I agree 100%! I don't know or understand why, anyone has to write a song and say the words in that song like that. The music was very good, but some of the words were uncalled for. And that doesn't make me a prude or anyone else one that feels like that. There's NO reason to talk like that to start with, let alone sing.

they don't HAVE too
its called expression
and part of our right as Americans
who are you to judge the way some one writes music
take a step back, fall off your high horse (i hope it kicks you)
and go try to write a decent rap song with out cursing
i hate most rap, i cant stand hearing it, but rather then judge and complain i simply turn my speakers off

4th in the state of Virginia
And you talk of a "big deal"????? So what's the big deal about coming in 4th in a sport that's a second rate activity in a 3rd rate state?

I generally find that foul language is the result of a weak mind attempting to assert itself.

Great talent. Bad choice in music. The webster dictionary has great words. To bad they are so limited in vocabulary.

Nice video. Music had a great beat. And I agree - some of us still left on the planet don't think it's the last word in awesome to hear "f#*k," "hold my d*#k, "I'm gonna do your mother," etc. when watching a trampoline video at 7 in the morning with little kids standing around. (And by the way, Oli Lemieux is HOT!)
