How to Do Tricks on 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. Well, now you can walk stilts. You can walk forwards. You can walk backwards and confidently turn, so you're ready for the next step. Let's try a couple simple tricks like lifting one leg. Lift the other leg like you're dancing. Of course, over time, you learn. to kick a little bit higher and a little bit higher until you can kick all the way over you head. That would be forward, and the same of course goes backwards. Perhaps even to catch the foot. Don't want to fall. If you need to reach out and touch something while you're walking, that's perfectly acceptable of course. The name of the game is to stay up. Start tall, end tall. It's possible to hop on one leg. Think of your own tricks. Try them out."
