haha, how did they get up the wall.. that's the part i'm trying to figure out.

 

It almost looks like they took a floor mat and put it up against the wall so they climb the rug and fly up in the air.

 

yea its just like a 1/4 pipe...

 

I dont understand whats so fasinating.... a metalic disk spun to speed, then dropped on the floor. Its rotational inertia (gyroscopic effect) keeping it upright and friction aidding in acceleration. They move forward, redirected up ward by some fillet shapped surface... and then they fall back down.

 

What am i missing? :confused:
