These Cirkus Zirkus episodes are great!

That golden hour light with the Bri-monster staggering around in it like a newly birthed giraffe. Just...beautiful

[@andrewcarlson4484]

Giraffe learning how to walk was my first thought as well

[@leppeppel]

I've never done stilt-walking myself, but I know of stilt walkers who use proportionally long walking sticks, effectively becoming tripods or quadpods. They're apparently super useful when standing still.

[@natemartin9283]

This is also how you make a Landstrider costume from The Dark Crystal

[@LethalStitches]

It def makes a difference. I diy'd some quad peg stilts for halloween and I had it down in 5 -10minutes. It's hella fun too 10/10 recommend

"I feel like a redwood about to fall." Brian's name definitely should change from Brushwood to Redwood whenever he's on stilts.

[@StarbornCthulhu]

Brian on the ground: Mr. Brushwood Brian in the air: Mr. Redwood

2:19 My great-grandpa actually died this way. Not the stilts, just tripping off the sidewalk. Dude was 90 years old in 1976, stepped off a curb obstructed by the snow (Northern Utah), and broke his hip. Died like a week later.

[@BoyDharma]

I mean the world is just looking to kill you and 90 is a long time to cheat death. My great grandpa died after church on his walk home on a bench because he felt tired or so the story goes. He was 97 so again not a bad run. Hopefully we can hope to live as long.

[@therocknrollmillennial535]

@@BoyDharma Here's hoping we can! I mean, not to be too dramatic, but I wasn't even supposed to live into my teen years. I'm 26 now. With all the stuff I've gone through, medically, in my life, I really feel like I could live forever.

[@natedetailscars]

I'm sorry to hear that. No joke, my grandfather passed away last year in a very similar incident. 90, decided he wanted to go for a walk without telling anyone. Tripped and fell on the sidewalk not even a block from the house. Ended up lingering in bed for a couple weeks and then went in his sleep.

[@lich.possum]

@@BoyDharma I wouldn't wanna live that long.

In a way, my great-grandmother was lucky, because she died on the spot when she fell on the sidewalk.

Stilt Man! I had a friend who played Heroclix who collected a bunch of Stilt Man figures. Because the figures came in multiple pieces to fit in the package, he was able to combine the stilt pieces together to form a single super-tall Stilt Man.

I've walked on homemade peg stilts where the poles go all the way up to your shoulders for you to hold onto, which gives you complete control. They were very easy to learn, but they were only (maybe?) 1 foot higher than the ground. It was so long ago, I barely remember, but I know if I fell forward, I could just land on my feet and be fine.

[@Zelmel]

My elementary school had these types for gym class, they were awesome!

[@disturbedone44]

[@iiGingiey]

One small step for Jason, one big step for rogue kind.

[@reallyweirdperson1]

Yes! I’m so glad you guys are learning stilt walking! It’s so fun! I learned to stiltwalk last summer for a parade / Mardi Gras event at a large theme park, one of the coolest things I’ve ever learned to do.

1:47 Silver lining; your hips might be sore, but at least they won't lie. 4:41 Do *not* fall forward with your arms extended. You will break a wrist or dislocate a shoulder. Take it from somebody who's been there. Fell off my bed when I was 8 and landed arms out, broke my wrist. Started taking martial arts lessons about a year after I healed up, quickly was taught how to properly break a fall, and only then did I realize why I had broken my wrist a year before.

[@elenas3571]

I loved doing peg stilts as an elementary school student many years ago. I should make myself a set to exercise with.

[@valerieyeager9917]

Liking the video just for the Stilt-Man reference. Good one Jason!

[@bjornsan]

I learned this a lot of years ago. It was the one´s with one peg under it. It was very easy to learn. Took less than 5 minutes. Didn't get any talk about body position or anything like that. It was just walking, holding onto someone, like here, and then let go when you felt ready for it. I managed to jump with them. It was probably a whole inch high! The scariest is when you fall forward because you can't protect your knees as your legs are strapped to the stilts.

[@natemartin9283]

Ok, now I need a Corey approved design for homemade peg stilts.

[@chubby_deity3143]

Not so much a critique, but just something that was on my mind while watching, it would have been a cherry on top if there was some kind of padding on the ground so they could demonstrate what to do when falling.

[@jackwriter1908]

...this is the _Modern Rogue_ there would never be an injury to begin with. Their records are spotles. It would be pointless to teach how to fall... Also considering that she only fell once before I wouldn't say it is really something that can be teached. Falling and knowing how to land is one thing. Willingly falling to show how it's done is something else.
