This may sound silly, but, in my family there are three male Scorp's and all three of them have acrobatic skills that none of the rest of us have. They can do stuff like:

All three can juggle, two can juggle 5 things at once, the other can only do 3, but, I've no doubt he'll soon graduate to 5.

They all can ride a unicycle .. two while juggling (the 2 who can do 5).

Two can walk on extremely narrow objects with perfect balance.

Two can walk on their hands.

(One of these 3 has passed away, so his is past tense, but, the skill was there)
Anyway, I was just wondering if any Scorpio's in here have this special talent, or was it just the men in my family, coincedentially?

"Nadia Elena Comaneci (born November 12, 1961) is a Romanian gymnast, winner of five Olympic gold medals, and the first to be awarded a perfect score of 10 in an Olympic gymnastic event. She is one of the most well-known gymnasts in the world and, along with Olga Korbut, is credited with popularizing the sport around the world"


"1994, she became engaged to US gymnast Bart Conner, whom she had met for the first time in 1976 at the American Cup. Together with Conner, she returned to Romania for the first time since her defection (and since the fall of Communism and of Ceausescu), and the couple were married in Bucharest on April 27, 1996"

"Bart Wayne Conner (born March 28, 1958 in Chicago, Illinois) is a former American gymnast, who was a member of the gold medal-winning men's gymnastics team at the 1984 Summer Olympic Games; he also won an individual gold on the parallel bars.

Conner is the only American male gymnast to have won gold medals at every level of competition, including international, national and collegiate level."

I used to be extremely limber and good at gymnastics until I landed in traction for a month, and subsequently a body cast for another, when I was a kid.

Juggling? I can't even catch one thing, much less multiple things.

Balance? Both good and bad. I have an incredibly hard time walking in a straight line, generally some odd unconscious zigzag pattern, unless I consciously force myself to walk with one foot directly in front of another. I can do that rather quickly and seemingly naturally, but my true natural gait is a bit more separated. Amusingly enough, I have far more balance on a balance beam (or similar object) than I do on the ground.

Rocking and squeezing? You betcha! And, undulating, mounting, crashing, banging, grabbing, bobbing, bucking, bending, gliding... Atleast I have one talent... 🙂
