How to Wear Circus Stilts

Video Transcript

"On behalf of Expert Village, I'd like to talk about stilt walking. My name is Paul Anderson from the ABC circus and here we are. Next is circus stilts. The other stilts attach to your leg like that. These are circus stilts. I like to keep them in a golf bag so when I show up to the hotel or restaurant; no one really knows what I'm going to do. Let's go. Here's a bare circus stilts. This is what it looks like in the beginning. We're going to add some shoes right here and some little padding at the calf. We make sure to put a good rubber bottom on the bottom so they don't slip and slide when you walk on wood or marble. This is pretty much what a circus stilt looks like. It's worn in the same way as a construction stilt, attached to the calf of the leg and to your foot. We're going to try and put one on so you can see what it looks like. Here are my circus stilts attached at the leg with the foot in a shoe. I put self-adjusting so I can adjust them while I'm walking. Put them a little tighter if they get loose. There's my circus stilts complete with my shoes."
