@jaromil I love the art people make out of applied physics.

@zeborah gravity has done me some serious damage over my life, but I love physics, & he makes it look like magic.

@zeborah I looked it up bc I didn’t even know what it was called.

I went down a rabbit hole, watched a bunch of videos of women & men performing it & found this duo, on what I now know is a cyr wheel.

@heyrochelle Fascinating how new it is - simultaneously that explains why I'd never heard of it before, and wow isn't it cool how humans are still inventing new things! @sidawson

@zeborah first I looked up gym wheel, but those are doubled, with “steps” between, like a round ladder (sort of).

So then I used that competitor’s name & found a snippet from his 2022 effort, where “cyr wheel” came up.

From there, there were so many!
