Okay, there’s something deeply unsettling in watching a human being move like that. At least to me.

While a bit weird. I do think that’s kinda badass. Especially that table jump.

She’s gotta be athletic as hell to be able to pull that one off.

bear crawl is a common training method for amateur high school and college wrestling.

So does she have a spinal issue that lends itself to this sort of travel, or just an odd hobby she worked at?

I find this creepier than a Boston Dynamics video. This is the all-natural uncanny valley.

Still not as good as the prancersize videos.

My take is just that she’s relatively athletic and has practiced this unusual mode of locomotion.

I’m sorry, you appear to have incorrectly tagged this as “mistakes”, when I think you meant “wonderful things” as per BBs mission statement?

Am I the only one that got a little warm and fuzzy feeling from that?

Just awesome. That’s so much more than loping!
Assuming they were both into it, imagine the offspring if her and the 100m all fours record holder got together!

Bear crawl has you on all fours and your knees should be about an inch or two off the floor. When we do it in gym it helps me understand why bears are so damn grumpy.
This looks more like what our coach calls a spider crawl, which I find just slightly less stressful…however I’m hard pressed to do that for like 20 yards “at my own speed”, which is best described as “dog slow”. So her merely doing it quickly is amazing, and that table jump is jaw dropping.

I have nightmares where I have to run away from bad guys/giant spiders/other bad stuff and I can’t run, and eventually I fall to all fours like that, in the dreams. They are always bad bad dreams. Kudos to her for being so athletic though.

Interesting… There was a documentary a while back about a family in Turkey who walk the same way:

Why oh why did you do that to me? I feel ill.
My favorite comment, “A great workout from head to cameltoe.”
