Cirque du Soleil - Kooza (Wheel of death)

[ChicoSkalari]

1 more thing to my "not to do" list xDD

[LovedayTrelawney]

I think I just shat my pants

[Kisa2Kisa]

I made the mistake of not reading the description before the video. So when they're both inside the wheel I'm like, okay maybe it won't be too bad, Then one guy goes ontop of the wheel, it's okay he's a professional, they throw them both skipping ropes, you have got to be kidding me, he pretty much falls to his death, Stop the ride, I wanna get of!

[leopardgecko4life1]

i went to the this live. omg i could not look

they acholy asked us not to clap because they have to cosontrate

they had no nets no harnsess and no helmets

[Lovelyontheskin]

Who ever said jumping rope can't be manly....WATCH THIS

[dazidub]

you guys are shit hot.

[ggallman]

If this were a sport, it would be extreme.

[Cormster101]

never trust any one who can do that

[demongoddess122]

sexy/....extreamly



[ArtofWar91]

I'm going to their show tonight in DC!!!!! Chyeaa!

[alien4489]

WOOOOOW UNBELIEVABLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! O_O

[Ramnza02]

@Blindedbythelight you're fake

[johnsoncody17]

is this real life?

[BPMKent]

I hate these guys, but only cos they can do that and I can't!

[sedintwinslove]

i watched this in french and man it wazs fuckin scary

[ritsfata]

Showed this in class as part of a presentation on Cirque. I kept trying to skip through some of the duller points to get to the good stuff but my entire class would scream at me anytime I skipped anything. HAHA. SUCH A GREAT ACT.

[LovedayTrelawney]

Oh my Christ! Even when he almost fell he managed to keep hold of his skipping rope ! :O

[d1rcwill]

Massive shoulder strength when the 2nd guy gets onto the wheel, amazing

[joey40000]

ชอบมากครับ ตื่นเต้นสุดๆ



[SteinbeckFamily]

DAMN. These guys are good. Best video I've seen in years

[SteinbeckFamily]

Best video on YouTube in a very long time! Incredible...

[silvericeblu]

This is amazing and breathtaking. And can these people even GET life insurance?

[rahxephon52]

man, that's some gutsy shit.

[peckiledorf]

what ever they get paid it's not enuff

[zijinccheng]

Haha I was like meh whatever anyone can do the inside one with a month's practice, so I was like whatever UNTIL THEY GOT ON THE OUTSIDE

[TishBracken]

Meh!...If they used elephants I might be more impressed.

[spamdude1]

Holy crap

[bytheblueriver]

OMG! I was absolutely shocked! This is fantastic! Amazing athletes!

[crazilisious4ever]

i think i just peed in my pants...and my skin was covered in goosebumps. when i see this is real life i don't even know what's gonna happen..

[isthismeisthatyou]

I just can't wait to see these guys ride a unicycle around those things!!!! awesome!!! balls of steel!

[Jenema2]

this was the best show ive seen. i cant wait for the new bug one

[Islanders1932]

If you think this is cool, go see their show in NYC right now, the guys who perform this stunt do flips while on top of the circles while falling. The most incredible thing I have ever seen. This is a must see show in NYC

[tjobtjobtjob]

if it were me up there...id call 911 to get me down :P

[iBurryful]

Man, you would have to be crucial about timing, cause if your timing goes wrong *SPLAT*

[NerdyK1000]

the 16ndislikes make me think that 16 people didn't have the patience to watch it all the way through

[munrochambers33]

@NerdyK1000

really though.cirque du soleil is like one of the worlds most breathtaking acrobatics act ever...those 16 people are trippin...

[TheXander2980]

amazing! the best...

[Kross2099]

Both of these men are Spiderman. It is the only explanation and I will not be convinced otherwise.

[demongoddess122]

@Kross2099 spider man and robin or vampires

[samuelemarini]

che bello il circo senza animali!!! non tormentiamo piu' gli animali! :)

[jmteddybear1]

this was filmed in toronto ON, they are jimmy and carlos. how do iknow , i was an usher for cirque

[zpowerful]

I think this would make a really great treadmill workout, and take the 'boredom' out of working out, don't you think? I'd like it if my gym would put one of these contraptions in it, I'd sooo go on it, looks like major fun:0

[zpowerful]

I think this would make a really great treadmill workout, and take the 'boredom' out of working out, don't you think?

[cookiepop789]

AMAZING!



[ROXALOVEJESUS]

amazing!! :o :O  :o

[TheKverchi]

i always hold my breath 

[Uovoc]

@SoggyFetusProduction Lucky you, Kooza definitely deserves to be viewed more than once. Unfortunately I've been relying on YouTube to get my fix.

[karolaynemc]

my hamster can do that <3

[EpicHobos]

@karolaynemc they should have a hamster circus.

[9876faye]

i remember before i started school watching circus. i really wanted to join circus. that's the only thing i ever wanted to be, until i told my mom :(

[bryceguy72]

Sorry to contradict the video description but when I saw Cirque du Soleil's "Kooza" in San Diego, they didn't open with this. They did it half-way through the show. They should never open with this act because it's so bad-ass everything else will seem pale by comparison.

[welwisher]

talk about a 'devil may care' atitude. ^_^

[Sophia99Rox]

That was Awesome.... XD



[thenotfamousANM]

i got to see this in Portland Or.

the best thing iv'e ever witnessed.

[NoNamedRetard]

1:06 best part :)

[shawnlaurin]

@NoNamedRetard yyyea that was really exciting = D

[ss4goku69]

was taht stumble just for show or did he actually stumble?

these guys are crazy

[L1ttl3Un1qu3]

What is the song name that play's at the start, it's so dark and perfect

[Uovoc]

@L1ttl3Un1qu3 All the songs can be found on Wikipedia. The one you're talking about is El Pendulo.

[DeFlurt]

Наркоманы, блеать!

[EndaraMonteroK]

wowwww is the best I've seen

[gr4381582]

This video is cool.... Seeing it in real life is 10,000 times cooler.

[Tiogshi]

@gr4381582 I have seen it; and agree. In the first half of the act, the low thumping drum is intense, and the crowd is nearly always in stunned silence and terrified gasps when the guys get on the outside of the wheels, especially during the planned skipping-rope "stumble".

It's a pretty intense and scary segment, in the middle of an otherwise light-hearted show.

[MrMachinist78]

nutters good tho

[ProfessorDemetri]

4:50 I SHAT BRIX!!! 

[RidesRUs99]

i would love to go in one of those...

[manuelinestroza]

this is amazing....XD

[VideoViewer400]

This is simply breathtaking! A wonderful performance, with talented perfformers, taking huge risks. I love this show, it was amazing! I HOPE i see it again. I LOVE circuses

[GronHatchat]

Saw these guys in Frisco the other night! TOTALLY BLEW ME AWAY!!!

[kubohemian]

We just returned from Cirque du Soleil in Tokyo and saw one of these guys fall. It was horrible and we hope he's OK. He left the big top in a stretcher. Now I get why this contraption is called the Wheel of Death!

[sun818]

You really feel a sense of danger and concern for these performers which made me appreciate what they did that much more.

[Ieatrainbowonmytoast]

Why isn't lady gaga in circ du soleil?

[julie101rox]

@Ieatrainbowonmytoast who is she gonna play? a clown?

[FrOblivious]

sat right underneath them one night... scary stuff! But cool!

[LazySisyphos]

spechless

[japanfan64]

The act is already terrifying, but the music in the beginning makes it even scarier :)

[THEHARDTOSPELL]

I met the guy who stumbled when he came to Miami for the show. His name is Carlos Marlin. Hired him as a DJ. Great guy. Look him up.

[carlitoscirque]

thank you man yes i am carlos marin . i like wheel of death and i am DJ too than for the coments. now i am in canada cause i have a surgery in my shoulder.

[cousinfilmz]

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwww­wwwwwwwwwww

[MiniPsychoCircus]

Dear Santa...

[majicstargirl]

I went to see this live and holy crap, one guy almost fell and I screamed xD god I was on the edge of my seat....great great show.

[william44033]

amazing!

[theWall0719]

I saw this in Vancouver this past summer. It was worth every dollar I spent and then some. Amazing experience! Definitely going again this coming summer.

[boriqua8a8y]

14 people fell off of the wheel of death.. lol

[sailormoon114]

how would you train for something like this ? I relaise you would have to start young so I wonder how young these men were when they started.

[Magojoaco]

Is amazing

[keithAAhocks]

Whens kooza coming to Ontario ?

[GArbedg]

WOW

[SkateboarderXD1]

this was amazing!!!! i saw it live and it was awesome. but one of the dudes tripped! luckily he didnt fall off

[RobloxD]

@SkateboarderXD1 actually on the DVD it says they trip on PURPOSE to get the audience to gasp because they like hearing it LOL.

[Alephantiasis]

@SkateboarderXD1 If you consider this as a living representation of the wheel of fortune, it makes perfect sense.

[SkateboarderXD1]

@Alephantiasis true

[ItzSoilfly]

at 4:50 my heart stopped XD

[alemotapenn]

I saw this live was awesome

[Acceleratorz]

i guess i shit in my pents....

[oceansdoor]

jeeeez....it's the wheel of anxiety for me :( Cut out that jumping inside the wheel man! You're killing me here

[bearenok]

красота

[Dweoh]

Can we say "adrenaline junkies"?

Anytime you need an adrenaline rush-by-proxy, watch this video.

[mjmedinas]

i saw Criss angle's bunnies on my computer! omg o my god they are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooo dang scary im freaking out dont think im a pussy!

[susy2731]

They are from Colombia!!!!!!!!!!!

[Steveo1856]

I want one of these giant rotating wheels.

[JulieWulie12]

I saw this live in miami today.....It is A BILLION times better in real life!! my hands were SWEATING!!!! but it was aweeeesome

[blkcoverboy]

@JulieWulie12 lol my hands were sweating too! i went fridat night here in miami the show was GREAT

[nestor123567]

@blkcoverboy same when i saw it here in Canada!

[amusicfan2007]

@JulieWulie12 I was there too...Amazing act! It was breathtaking!

[distortdpsyche]

@JulieWulie12 saw it yesterday in miami; it was AWSOME in person.

[SavingEverySecond]

I cant even jump rope like that on the ground...

[TheGhov2]

WHAT IS THE SONG THAT STARTS AT 4:00 SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[alladinmoua]

@TheGhov2

"El Pendulo de la Muerte" ("The Pit and the Pendulum" in English)

[TheGhov2]

@alladinmoua ok, thanks a lot!

[meganinjapillow]

i saw this live in baltimore! was soooo scared for the guys!!!

[warilban]

we canadians know how to have fun =)

[fimbledonkey2]

Siiiiiiick.

[victor15975]

this part was so intense specially live, my parents saw this a couple days before i did and they said that everything was the exact same... but i think they do this to give thrill to people ... and when they pick people form the crowd they use actors but i think it would be for safety reasons

[BblockB3]

how do you even practice something like that?

[Tiogshi]

I'd seen this video before going to the show (it was what convinced me to buy tickets), and it was still a huge thrill. And it was wild hearing the surprise and fear of the rest of the audience. When I saw it, though, only one guy came to the outside of his wheel.

[MrSmashbro99]

I watched this live in galgary

[victor15975]

@MrSmashbro99 Calgary..... stupid

[MrSmashbro99]

@victor15975 I made a mistake idiot and I don't live in calgary

[silverhooves17]

THEY SHOULD HAVE A NET !

[Anastassik]

I came from Cirque Du Soleil, they r in Calgary now ( Canada), that was amaizing!!!

the BEST!!!!!!

[planetevenus]

Le Cirque du Soleil a réinventé ""le cirque"" numéros absolument hors du commun. Ils sont maîtres de l'espace jouent en suspension dans l'air. Incroyable artistes, funambules qui donnent une impression de légèreté extraordinaire. Pendant quelques minutes le temps s'arrête et nous voilà le regard fixe levé au ciel. C'est beau et étonnant tout simplement. Un grand MERCI MERCI....

[omnipotentbeing]

where's the audio?! - it has audio on snotr dot com

[EpikHater]

They'd better get PAID for this shit.

[herderputih]

Amazing!

[raevgaf]

insane skills! o_0

[1ggssxxrr]

Is this show from calgary?

[Jasgym77]

@1ggssxxrr Kooza is in Calgary right now. But is going to Miami Fl in a week. Damn good show just saw it.

[MrSmashbro99]

@1ggssxxrr yes they did I saw it live I was soo scared I thought those two were gonna die

[TheDrjman1]

so now "go and join the circus" would really be a compliment.

[smassima80]

1 second ago no, snt sabu alegria , this guys are from colombia one of them is angelo Lyerzhysky and Carlos Enrique Marin Loaiza . amazing show!!!!!

[liztherpaddict]

14 people care too much about these men’s safety.

[gamegalorejohn]

and 1075 people dont care

[HaldamirElensar]

Someone knows if one of them is Sabú Alegría?

because Sabú is an artist of Pendulo de la muerte (Wheel of death), at least it says in the webpage

[skopitz]

@HaldamirElensar He is in a different show, KA in Las Vegas.

[HaldamirElensar]

@skopitz Then... do you know who are the artist in this one? "Kooza" causa i'd like to know more about them ^^

Thanks Skopitz =)

[skopitz]

@HaldamirElensar Angelo Lyerzhysky and Jimmy Ibarra Zapata are the current artists. In this video, Zapata and Carlos Enrique Marin Loaiza are on the wheel.

[JexJhenga]

I watched the show at Santa Monica in November and this act was my favorite, a definite heart stopper! Everyone was on the edge of their seats because the guys would stumble over the jump ropes. Amazing... wish they would come back to LA :(

[liztherpaddict]

This was my fave part in the show yesterday!! So sick!

[Abbytater]

I just saw this yesterday, and it was SOOOOOO EPIC..

[MrSmashbro99]

@Abbytater YOU SAW IT TOO!? I DID TOO! I was soo scared I thought those two were gonna die

[Abbytater]

@MrSmashbro99 Yeah, I was at the matinee! It was intense.

[gardingh]

@towtoxgta yeah, in Calgary. Awesome show.

[gardingh]

Just watched this live tonight, epic.

[towtoxgta]

@gardingh Calgary Alberta? i went tonight too

[McCRAAAZY]

14 people did this and clearly had strings attached. so the strings broke and they landed on the dislike button :3

but this is truly epic. i could not breath half the time.

[katarzyna1113]

i am scared even watch that on you tube

those guys are my heroes

i guess they wont be scared on rollercoaster

[ctryhurn]

haha - I saw Kooza last night and the guy tripped. I screamed my head off! They sure know how to work a crowd!

[kturcotte403]

@ctryhurn

I was there the other night too and the guy tried to use a skipping rope while he was running on the top of the wheel!! He also tripped twice and then abandoned the rope after that, because it looked too risky! They are my favourite!!!! MUST SEE!!!

[TorchedSkunk]

I just realized him tripping on the rope was apart of the show....lol damb when i saw it live i screamed "OOOHHH SHIT!" embarrasingly loud

[ritsfata]

@TorchedSkunk THat's what they want. They are trying to freak you out actually. 

[aznspiceeeee]

im watching this live tonight =D SOO EXCITED

[stayjit1]

Yeah, these guys were the most impressive at the show I thought.

[crazieboy1234]

went to this frickin amazing!

[ClassabeticalOrder]

i so badly want to see this live!!!

[slipknot666mdr]

do you think the guy tripped on purpose in his jumping rope just to scare people?

[samueldejon]

@slipknot666mdr maybe

[confirmbirthdate]

o fuucck !

[dethklok111]

i hope they use safety nets!

This is quality entertainment though!! :D

[ntomic1]

@dethklok111 It's obvious that they don't, if they fall they die.

[mehfu263]

@dethklok111 They actually dont...I just saw this live. Just about shit my pants a couple of times.

[MultiKermit1]

spiderman sucks

[2edsajdmsa]

This is entertainment!

[mor456]

my boyfriend is taking me to this on the 28th!

[jumanji321]

Yay! I get to see this on the 25th!

[SxOfxG]

awesome, AWESOME!!!

[gksrltnr1004]

I just saw the show in Vancouver. That was just Fuc**** AWESOME. I almost had some heart attacks.

[Sendation]

@gksrltnr1004 haha me too!!! he triped on the skipping rope a little bit

[clovisman1965]

i just saw these guys and it was very gooood. way better than youtube. When i saw it the guy on top almost fell off. but he was fine if u dont see any cirque du soleil u had a very boring life now what are you waiting for go see them right now, im ordering you noooooow!

[PoisoningMyHeart]

This video doesn't do it the justice as if you're really there but I'm pretty sure when I saw it live, I probably creamed my jeans lol! It was the best part of any Cirque du Soleil I have seen so far :)

[muroamie]

putang ina! natatakot puso ko para sa kanila! hindi na nahihimatay mga nanay nila!? wah ang ganda.
