The teeterboard is an acrobatic apparatus that resembles a playground
see-saw. The strongest teeterboards are made of oak (usually 9 feet in length)
and are divided in the middle by a fulcrum made of welded steel. At each end of
the board is a square padded area, where a performer stands on an incline before
being catapulted into the air. The well-trained flyer performs various aerial
somersaults, landing on padded mats, a human pyramid, a specialized landing
chair, stilts, or some other configuration. The teeterboard is manned by a team
of flyers, catchers, spotters and pushers. Some members of the team perform more
than one acrobatic role. Korean-style teeterboard is a form where two performers
jump vertically in place, then are catapulted in turn, continuously performing
vaults, spins, and other acrobatic jumps, landing back on the apparatus instead
of dismounting onto a landing mat or human pyramid. You’ll love our yuppie
teeterboarders!

In their parody of Yuppie rituals, the dashing daredevils pirouette, spin,
and fly to the frenzied rhythm of the music. Their penguin-like waddle is a
delightful take-off on the non-stop lifestyle of aspiring businessmen who never
lose their grip... at least not on their briefcases. Fortunately, there is a way
to blow off steam. You just have to let yourself be catapulted sky-high on a
teeter board!
