Maybe - but it looks as though it is already on the way down. She looks limbered enough to be able to kick that high first. My mistake I hadn't watched it properly. True she didn't lift it right up. Anyone prepared to do better?

Best to have a vehicle with electric and proximity/wireless boot open-close and car locking controls. Still difficult to open the door without using hands, I admit, though some vehicles probably offer such a facility...

Posed, surely?
Boot lids that don't lift higher than that would be a hazard for the head...

She hadn't lifted the boot lid to it full extent.

What a pukable comment.

Don't worry Thomas - it's just ignorance.

[T00ts]

I'm very much ignorant of the language of ballet (and really all dance) but I can appreciate it for its own sake.

An old friend of mine and her sisters are ballerina dancers/chorographers, and post occasional videos which you may enjoy T00ts, such as the following

Mmmm interesting.

Yes more than possible. I admit I have never done it myself but thinking about it I am fairly sure it would have been a goer in my day.

Apologies, Ma'am.
I misread that at first and almost posted a reply...

I see T00ts trying to keep us blokes on our toes

I knew I could count on our resident video finder.

That's the one.

Melissa can't quite do that with the S-Cross.

Because she isn't tall enough.

She can do it with the Nissan Micra boot though.

It's scary really

I guess it is to the normal person but you have to remember that ballet dancers have an inbuilt aptitude and then are trained hard. It isn't the flexibility so much as the balance. Well done Melissa!

There is, out there in cyberspace somewhere, a video of a dancer who, lumbered with two shopping bags,proceeds to close the boot of the car by reaching up to the handle, a foot above her head, with her left foot, whilst balanced on her right

My grand daughter insists she can do this too....

I think it would dislocate something ..
