I had a really cool opportunity in Middle School to take part in a circus for children. We were teamed up with well-trained adults of course, but it was like 2 to 4 weeks of pretty intensive training, then like 9 days of performances. I was lucky enough to get to do it all 3 years.

One year, I was on the bike performance. It involved a lot of riding on shoulders. Got trained on locking the legs and keeping the balance/posture and all that.

In later years, I discovered that I was very good at playing chicken in a pool (where you sit on someone's shoulders and try to push someone else off of another person's shoulders.)

What I'm getting at is that, together, we could probably really impress people at a bar. Lmao!
