Reminds me of the various reports about ballet dancers, particularly
Baryshnikov. Reports were when he would vault into the air, sometimes
if he was really into it, he would 'hang' for unbelievably long times,
the same has been said about basketball players.

If this could be controlled, it would make for some amazing new sports!
