Experience
{1988} Korean Plank


The teeterboard is an acrobatic apparatus that resembles a playground see-saw. The strongest teeterboards are made of oak (usually 9 feet in length) and are divided in the middle by a fulcrum made of welded steel. At each end of the board is a square padded area, where a performer stands on an incline before being catapulted into the air. The well-trained flyer performs various aerial somersaults, landing on padded mats, a human pyramid, a specialized landing chair, stilts, or some other configuration. The teeterboard is manned by a team of flyers, catchers, spotters and pushers. Some members of the team perform more than one acrobatic role. Korean-style teeterboard is a form where two performers jump vertically in place, then are catapulted in turn, continuously performing vaults, spins, and other acrobatic jumps, landing back on the apparatus instead of dismounting onto a landing mat or human pyramid. You’ll love our yuppie teeterboarders!

In their parody of Yuppie rituals, the dashing daredevils pirouette, spin, and fly to the frenzied rhythm of the music. Their penguin-like waddle is a delightful take-off on the non-stop lifestyle of aspiring businessmen who never lose their grip... at least not on their briefcases. Fortunately, there is a way to blow off steam. You just have to let yourself be catapulted sky-high on a teeter board!
