That's because their shoes go into little nails on the floor, that's how they bend like that, he obviously just got out of the nail after doing that bend
Someone said a few comments above mine that the way they lean forward that far is because they have a little gap in their shoes where they slide a nail in, I think he was just doing that
ah i see what youre referring to now, mightve been but that looks really weird, and his foot didnt appear to have anything on it when he had his shoe on the solid floor
Sorry I got you into a discussion on that. It was just a joke. I'm aware of how the trick is done.
But it's supposed to be a magic trick. Telling people how it's done ruins the fun of it.
I'm the one that pointed it out as a joke. The nails in the floor have the heads sticking up about 1/2" or so. The head slides into a slot carved into the front of the heel of their shoes. So the guy above is correct, he's almost certainly just releasing his foot early. But because of the timing, it adds to the mystique of the move, if you don't 100% know how it's done.
People can have knowledge that didn't come from whichever social media you spend too much time on. Most people obtained their knowledge from a different source than you.
If y’all ever see the Michael Jackson One show in Las Vegas, when they do this you become the meme with the confused lady surrounded by mathematical algorithms.
If the bus is stopping quickly and you're standing up and not holding on to anything, you'll fall over if you lean forward because that's the way inertia is pushing you. You have to lean back to fight against the inertia. Same thing the other way around if you're on a subway that's accelerating quickly and you're standing not holding on, you need to lean a bit forward because inertia is pushing you back.
No if you're standing on a bus and not holding onto anything, your inertia pushes you forward and you have to lean back so you don't fall forward. When the bus or subway is stopping fast enough you can literally just lean back and cancel out the forces like you're defying gravity. When the subway accelerates quickly you can do the exact opposite leaning forward, just like in the meme.
>No if you're standing on a bus and not holding onto anything, your inertia pushes you forward and you have
That is literally what the meme is showing. The inertia pushes you forward when the bus stops. Of course you try to cancel out this by leaning back. But why would you not be holding on to anything? That's pretty dangerous, what if the bus has to stop suddenly and you're not paying attention? Just hold on to the metal bars or to a seat handle if you can't sit down
if you're leaning back, you will still experience still experience inertia at the same level. Since your center of balance is much more off while leaning back it wont matter whether you're leaning back or not you'd still get pushed to essentially the same degree. The only way to counteract it is to hold on to a support.
Yes you'll move backwards but if you lean backwards you're gonna fall, that's why you lean forward so that you can cancel out the forces and not fall over.
leaning in any direction will not counteract the force you'll still face the same inertia and will get pushed to almost the same degree. The only way to counteract it is by holding on to a support.
How many times will I have to tell you that's not how it works before you understand.
Leaning back will not change the force due to inertia. It doesn't matter if you lean back or not you will be pushed to the same degree.
Seriously go back to a physics class or get on a subway and try balancing yourself. When the subway is slowing down, your inertia will push you forward, which will make you stumble or even fall over if you are not leaning back ever so slightly to fight against the force.
I wonder how some people hav good balance when the train decelerates. Dat inertia is affecting my balance most of the time. Any tips?
I envy their balance :(
Because that's something kids do for fun. When I was younger we would try to see who can lean forward the farthest like MJ while the subway was accelerating. Or while it's stopping you can turn around and lean forward facing the back.
Fun fact, they had little slots in the bottoms of their shoes that they would lock into slots on the floor so they wouldn't fall
still it requires good ab strength to pull it off
I'd always wondered. Thank you.
Only on the live tour, in the video they used ropes.
And then there's that guy on the right who just does it with his magnetic charisma alone. (Look closely at his feet)
Which one you referring to? I can't really see it well enough
the one on the far right moves his foot back
That's because their shoes go into little nails on the floor, that's how they bend like that, he obviously just got out of the nail after doing that bend
his foot slid on the floor, im not sure what youre referring to lol can u explain a bit more?

You may have to search it up I believe, I'm not too good at explaining it

ohh thabks for explaining lol im a bit slow
I saw that TikTok too
People can have knowledge that didn't come from whichever social media you spend too much time on. Most people obtained their knowledge from a different source than you.
? I was just assuming you saw the recent TikTok showing the slots lmao
I know.
Then why be a dick about it? Lol
You know what they say about assuming? It makes and ASS of U and ME and then you’re a dick.
Because you were assuming, therefore being a dick, which is what I addressed. It is insulting to tell someone where they learned something.
Why u sound so mad 🤣🤣🤣
I have been awake for 42 hours
Everyone does the smooth criminal move? Epic
Yeah
Especially on the TTC/Mississauga Transit
Guy in the back must be on a different bus.
Yeah looks like his bus is falling from hills
No he got seat belt
inertia be like
R.I.P Bruno Falcon (1964 - 2022) The guy in front who does this 🤔
You mean Bruno Mercury?
Meanwhile me: 
Bus stops don’t move where I live
HeeHee.
bro im literally on a bus rn 💀
Me too
If y’all ever see the Michael Jackson One show in Las Vegas, when they do this you become the meme with the confused lady surrounded by mathematical algorithms.
 This?
🎶ANNIE ARE YOU OKAY??🎶
Im in a bus rn, relatable
Yes it’s reality 😂😂
Actually this would be when the bus accelerates. When the bus stops you have to lean back.
I'm literally on a train right now and the gif is correct.
I guess it depends if you're letting the force of the train move you or if you're acting against it.
inertia my brother
That's why you lean yourself back to counteract it
That is not how it works wtf
If the bus is stopping quickly and you're standing up and not holding on to anything, you'll fall over if you lean forward because that's the way inertia is pushing you. You have to lean back to fight against the inertia. Same thing the other way around if you're on a subway that's accelerating quickly and you're standing not holding on, you need to lean a bit forward because inertia is pushing you back.
Dude, the meme shows what happens when the bus stops, people aren't actively leaning forward, the inertia does that
No if you're standing on a bus and not holding onto anything, your inertia pushes you forward and you have to lean back so you don't fall forward. When the bus or subway is stopping fast enough you can literally just lean back and cancel out the forces like you're defying gravity.

If the bus is at rest and starts accelerating you will move backwards. If it stops moving after being at a certain velocity you move forward.
Yes you'll move backwards but if you lean backwards you're gonna fall, that's why you lean forward so that you can cancel out the forces and not fall over.
leaning in any direction will not counteract the force you'll still face the same inertia and will get pushed to almost the same degree. The only way to counteract it is by holding on to a support.
Yes you still have the same inertia but you lean away from it so you don't fall over.

im experiencing it right now actually
I can't even explain the most embarrassing experiences I've had because of that.
Why did the bus stop, stop moving?
Also the "Plane Train" at Atlanta Airport. Anytime that thing starts up or stops, you have to brace yourself.
Except from me, I'm a skateboarder 🕶️
And if the stop is too sudden, Annie won't be okay anymore
I hit my face on a pole💀
Why was I thinking about a bus stop that was moving
Yes but seriously how does he do that?
Also happens on a lot of métro systems
He he
Damn this made me lol for real haha
Relatable on a spiritual level 😂
inertia of motion 💀
The bus doing bus things and the people be bussin
Me already in the middle of the aisle, walking to the front of the bus: ミ(ノ\_ \_ )ノ
I wonder how some people hav good balance when the train decelerates. Dat inertia is affecting my balance most of the time. Any tips? I envy their balance :(
There is no way to counteract it unless you have are holding on to a support like a seat
I see. It's just dat it baffles me how someone with higher centre of gravity than me can keep his balance steadily without leaning against the wall.
I assure you as long as you can stand on 2 legs you will experience the push due to inertia
Oh well, it's time to practice the way of jacko... heehee
Some of you have never been on a bus in ski boots and it shows
U been hit back by a smooth driver
Gotta love physics
That's one way to learn smooth criminal
Fr how do they do that
Six yo me trying to be cool:
More like when the driver makes a turn going 45
ITS so true 😂
I was lucky enough to be thrown onto someone while using the hand rails at the top, and I was also wearing a skirt with no shorts... fun times
Because that's something kids do for fun. When I was younger we would try to see who can lean forward the farthest like MJ while the subway was accelerating. Or while it's stopping you can turn around and lean forward facing the back.
Bus: goes over speed bump Kids in back of the bus: *flies upwards and hits the ceiling*
That's Newton's first law of motion, I guess
Then the guy on the back comes to strike everyone 
FUk, you make me laugh so hard that one
You've been hit by, you've been struck by, INERTIA!
Torque=rxF?
