I love Cirque du Soleil and have seen a good number of their shows (4 or 5), but have never seen these guys perform as spectacular as they look in this training session. Would love to go to a venue where they tear it all up.

I saw OVO in Toronto back in September and saw them doing this very close up. It was amazing!
