ReplyDeleteTurns out this show is for you!
Deletei feel special :)
DeleteA fun piece of trivia about Urban Cowboy: John Travolta was, by far and away, the best mechanical bull rider on set. They had to use some camera tricks to make anyone look nearly as good. He's not from Texas or a cowboy at all, but I bet he could outride any real cowboy. Dancer = strength and FLEXIBILITY. It also made me wonder if ballerinas (esp women) could outride cowboys if they tried.
ReplyDeleteAnd I feel similarly to Erika. I think about Jim Henson a lot.
I love how the movie went out of its way to show it was really Travolta doing the riding.
DeleteI think it MIGHT come down to flexibility AND being loose body wise. Like how babies will be OK in car accidents sometimes because they don't tense up their bodies? Possibly?
DeleteYea, agree. I generally consider the skill of "loosening" part of flexibility.
DeleteHow are they testing that baby+car accident thing?
