Kantelen (Toppling)
Between two pillars is a distance of about 3.60 m. I am standing in the middle with my arms held straight up in the air. With small movements of my body weight I move from right to left, in doing so holding my body rigid, as a result I start to topple. By increasing the width of my arms and legs I can bridge an increasingly larger distance per topple. This continues until I am unable to increase the width of the movement on my own but have to let myself fall sideways in order to reach the pillar. I can then push myself off again, in this way I can reach the other pillar, etc. I then reverse this sequence until my body has again come to rest in the middle.
