Oct 22 2009I'm A Ninja, I Can Do That: Crazy Trampolining

This is a video of Oli Lemieux doing some wild ass trampolining plus wall walking and other ninja-y stuff while practicing for a Cirque du Soleil show. It's pretty cool but I could do it all twice as good but I would never film it because I'm modest. Also, the most handsome man on the planet.

Thanks to The Gurr, MoD, Asbo and Jennie, who once jumped so high on a trampoline they showed up on radar and the government shot missiles at them.

I once got so high on a...... oh trampoline.... never mind.

...weeeee

i love trampoline sex time... it practically does all the work for you

...my neighbors...dont enjoy it so much


...i should get one of my own instead of using theirs

Ok...I'll admit it...I couldn't even come close to doing any of that stuff. However, I still feel that GETTING high on a trampoline should count!!! Then we'll see who the tramp master is! Oh wait...that might be an entirely different competition??

hiyachaaa....badass ninjitsuism (made up word)

@3 sorry I missed you on the burger post about eating noodles for weeks.... it's not my bowl of soup either & burger joints were definitely smo...raided when the time came proper

MY MIND HAS JUST BEEN FACKED.... and I thought I was cool cause I could solve my 5x5x5 rubiks cube in 10 minutes... I think there should be a sport where the walls and floors are all trampolines, maybe some kind of trampoline mega basketball or something.

*hugs STOMPY* You don't deserve the treatment you got earlier :( I feel bad when I read those sort of things, who was that person, they seemed vaguely familiar

That's awesome. I thought i was ok on a tramp... i am NOTHING compared to this guy.

A shiny new nickel goes out to whoever can name the song and artist....

Why do they have to point their toes like ballerinas when jumping and landing? ....take a little bit of the 'rad' out of the whole thing if you ask me

...ahh, he's french. got it

I waited that whole video for him to miss and hit the concrete floor. I got nothing. Shame.

@7 the song is by MC craps-a-lot & the song is called 'hip hop gives me a fuĉking headache'

@4 - no sweat mate, burger joints aren't going to smo...er...raid themselves. Plus...you could always blame it on the debil.

@5 - cool sports idea...now if you just sink the whole damn thing underwater and throw a couple of great white sharks in the mix....NOW you've got something to watch!!!

@7 Madonna - Like a Virgin

Right on. Thanks naas.

@7 actually I turned off the speakers after the music started because I THOUGHT it was hip hop. I listened to it this time & see I was wrong.

I am sorry about that, it's not hip hop - it's just crap

did you notice how when he went up for each jump he waved a little white surrender flag too/

that / is suppose to be a question mark, and the first letters are suppose to be capitalised, but for some reason my keyboard isn't letting me. odd

Does anyone know which Cirque show this is? I'm a fan but don't recognize the set.

@15 keyboard problems Ollie? I thought when he waved like that he was signaling 'bring cheese le petit fromage!'

Did anyone else notice that he kept doing ghey motions with his arms? Just sayin.

Amazing. Shades of the Triple Lindy.

A performer died last week while trianing on this apparatus. He missed and landed on his head. So it's sort of Ironic you posted this.

An article about the death.

@20 sad... I wonder how often bad accidents like that happen given the level of difficulty with these stunts. All kidding about french flamboyancy aside, that is terrible to hear

this is filmed in Sydney.... god that section of the show was awesome!

@16 This is Dralion


And I have to say, this is so much more awe-inspiring live!!

I love how everyone else is just kinda watching him and the camera with this "stupid show-off douche" face.
That is amazing, this site makes my day.

I saw this show like 6 months ago

One of the performers fell when he was winding up to the trampoline to trampoline jump

@14 given that song is CRAP, it isn't hip-hop.
Rap is crap, and I don't like most rap, but I love hip-hop.

Okay I'm not the only one who thought that guy was a show-off douche. I feel better now. Otherwise it's okay I guess. Kind of kept doing the same things over and over but I certainly can't do that

LOL!!!! ok so i am an avid reader of Geekologie, and think of my surprise when i see this ariticle about the show i am working on at the moment (i am the automation technican).... that video was taken in japan by one of the old trampo guys..... we are currently in Guadalajara Mexico (stop laughing)

I don't care how skilled the performers in Cirque to Soleil are. They're full-on weird. David-Blaine-weird.

Now that I think about it, Olympic athletes are weird too.

You make my day Geekologist. (Totally most handsomeness man on planet.) :3

@28 while I don't want to step on your musical tastes, I did want to correct myself for something I hadn't heard after calling it shitty hip-hop when it's apparently not that. Nonetheless it's not for me so I hope you're not jaded by my opinion

@30 I think it's awesome you're traveling & working, as a traveler myself I find nothing funny nor misfontunate about being in Guadalajara at all - good for you

Thats awesome

@33 I'm not jaded. People like what they like. I was just trying to state that i think people often confuse rap & hip-hop to be the same. Jay-Z and all the crap you hear on MTV (when they play videos) and the radio is rap.
Good hip-hop is groups like The Roots, A Tribe Called Quest, Talib Kweli, Madlib, etc.
I hate that 'bling bling' crap that is popular.

@20 Jeff I don't think that was the same dude, read the names, not the same.

If he ever needs to scale a 20 foot wall with a trampoline next to it he's good to go.

@37 No it's not. But it was the same apparatus. The dead guy was from Europe the video guy is one of us...Or me...French Canadian. I think the guy who died is in the video.
