Trapeze School in NYC [Pics]

nytimes.com — 'Trapezing' is all about timing and listening and less about strength and flexibility. Some people come just to conquer their wariness of heights...the scared girl in picture definitely makes it worthwhile.

  • DirtPile, on 07/24/2009, -0/+4I'll go to Trapeze School right after my post-doctoral fellowship is finished at Clown College.
  • jayenator, on 07/24/2009, -2/+5I did this a year ago with some friends. It was a lot of fun but I'm afraid of heights and the hardest part was just jumping off the platform. Once I was flying I forgot about all my fears and it was just great fun.

    Also, as if climbing up twenty feet isn't scary enough, the trapeze is on the roof of a building overlooking the west side highway...

    Chris1218218, it was about $50 per person for about an hour.
