Cirque Lab takes viewers into the world of Cirque du Soleil training. In this episode freestyle, acrobatic, slopestyle, and halfpipe Canadian skiers try their flips and jumps on the Russian swing.

At first they use safety lines, but as they quickly adapt to the apparatus, they get into some their more intricate moves as the Russian swing takes on a whole new dimension.

In #CIRQUESHOP: The Workshop Series presented by C:LAB, Cirque du Soleil explores a new acrobatic repertoire by reaching out to athletes from different disciplines. See what happens when two different cultures come together – circus arts and extreme sports.
