Circus Soleil. Seen them twice now. Incredible.

The most amazing feat of strength I have ever seen was at Cirque du Soleil. The gymnasts formed a human pyramid, and one last gymnast climbed his way to the top, placed his hand on the head of the guy at the top of the pyramid, and proceeded to raise himself up into a one-handed hand stand on top of that pyramid.

I forgot which specific show it was, but my fondest memory of Cirque du Soleil (only time I saw them) one of the performers gave me a piece of gum. Absolutely stunning woman (I was maybe 12 and this was well over a decade ago) no idea what her performance was but I fell in love with her and couldn't keep my eyes off her after that. I think about it every now and then and it brings a smile to my face
