It continually amazes me how many people there are in the world who embrace with enthusiasm activities that would send most of us running for the hills.
I can barely climb the see-through staircase at the Apple Store without breaking into a cold sweat, but meanwhile, there are little kids out there doing complicated cheerleading stunts high in the air!
I think I can only conclude that there are plenty of people in the world made of much sterner stuff than I am, and who clearly don’t share my fear of heights. Take, for example, Destiny Vinley.
Like the incredible gymnast who took to the air as a form of rehab, Destiny is an expert at the aerial silks, a type of acrobatic technique where performers conduct their act while hanging high above the stage in a pair of silk ribbons.
This technique involves hanging suspended in the air while holding different poses, wrapping the form in the silks, and dropping rapidly through the air with nothing but the silks to keep you from falling.
Destiny, who is a highly experienced aerial performer with years of training, is able to create a dance so complicated that it looks like she could fall at any minute! Check out the video below to see her in action!
And if you loved this high-flying performance, please SHARE on Facebook to spread the word about this talented acrobat!
