In Asia, any activity can be made extreme; in Korea, talented acrobats have turned the benign childhood pastime of playing on a teeter totter into something far more exciting and dangerous.
Watch as the acrobats launch each other in the air on the teeter totter, performing stunts with a hula hoop while in midair. This pastime isn't as out-of-the-ordinary in Korea as we might think, and is actually quite prevalent in folk village festivals.

These such blends have continued to time and time again produce entertaining, and visually stimulating results according to onlookers from all over the world.
