Qualifying round: Knees locked, bend down and press your palms flat to the to the floor.

Championship round: Stand against a wall with your feet together and your heels touching the baseboard. A coin is placed no more than an inch in front of your toes. Bend forward, pick up the coin, return to original position without moving your feet.

Have fun :D

Rumple Foreskin :cool:
 
I haven't been able to do anything like that for more than 30 years.

I blame a mis-spent energetic youth that damaged my spine AND ankylosing spondilitis.

I can still use a keyboard.

Sounds painful...I hope that it isn't.
 
Qualifying round is no problem.
2nd round is physically impossible due to the size of my ass. I'd fall flat on my face.

With my knees locked. I'm not even sure there's a floor down there..... My belly is blocking my view of anything south og my belly button.....

You do hate us don't you...... ;) :D

I ain't even going to read the rest of the second one..... I got as far as feet together and shook my head... it ain't happening.... :rolleyes:

Ha! No, my intent is not to make anyone feel bad :eek: ...just a fun thing we used to do and for some reason did it the other night. Try it with kids, they enjoy it. Or maybe folks can try it at the Lit-Together after a few drinks. But it is really,really hard. :)

No shit Sherlock and the older you are the harder it is to do. I know this from experience. :cool:

Me too, Zeb. I'm two days older than dirt. ;)
 
The second is impossible for anyone to do, regardless the size of your ass. With your butt and heels flat against the wall there is nothing to counterbalance half your body weight leaning past the fulcrum, otherwise known as your toes. If you attempt it, the weight of your upper body leaning forward will pull your butt away from the wall and you fall on your face.

Cruel trick, jomar. :rolleyes:

You just want to do naughty things to us when we're trying to qualify, don't you?

No, no, I assure you it can be done! :)
 
I used to be able to do them both. But that was 20 years ago before the car smash messed with my spine. And I weighed a bit less then too.

Nothing was said about keeping your knees straight.

You're right. I should have said, "keep them straight." Thanks. :)

Only if you can bend in a "U" sideways.

EDIT: Or if your feet are a meter long.

It really can be done. Strong toes help, of course, if you don't have looong feet.

Ouch. Hope it's not chronic back pain for you.
