We'd like to introduce you to a simple, but fun little site called http://escalopter.com.



If you've been living under a rock or not spending all your waking hours on VideoSift for the past couple of months, we coined the term escalopter, then Choggie defined it on Urban Dictionary, and most recently, maatc was interviewed on German radio about his escalopter video.

All this excitement and fascination over the escalopter got us thinking it really needs its own home on the Net. And now it has one. Tell a friend.

Someone need to go to an airport with those people movers that are flat. I'm betting you could get a tandem or even synchronized escaloptering. Has anyone tried rolling into a ball?

Does anyone have enough stomach muscle strength to attempt the superman escalopter?

Sure. I'd love to see a cat performing the escalopter.

I've tried it - the hardest part is getting all the duct tape off later.

She is named on a bunch of websites.
I suspect she has contacted many sites and asked to have her name removed because it shows up only in the google cached version.

Anyways here is escalator spinning girl with a fail when
she tries to recreate her trick for CNN.
http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/bestoftv/2008/07/04/ntm.escalator.spin.girl.cnn

She's a bartender in Burbank, which makes me believe she doesn't need her name out there in the geekdom world.
