First we lay flat on random surfaces. Then we choked on cinnamon. We created chemical burns on our hands. We flipped bottles skillfully. And now we’re blowing cups.

One guy even got his cups to do a few somersaults in the air before sticking the landing. Imagine what could be done with a big fan and Simone Biles.
