@rf_.latino_: How did he do this in 1987? The "MJ Lean" is a 45-degree forward-leaning dance move made famous by Michael Jackson in the "Smooth Criminal" video and live performances. The gravity-defying feat, typically impossible for humans, was achieved using specially designed shoes patented by Jackson and collaborators, which locked onto a peg emerging from the stage floor. The Mechanism: The shoes featured a V-shaped slit in the heel that locked onto a metallic "hitch" (nail) raised on the floor. The Physics: Without the hitch, humans can only lean forward roughly 20 degrees; the mechanism allowed for 45 degrees, shifting the center of gravity. Physical Strength: Beyond the shoes, the move required immense core strength and calf strength (Achilles tendon) to maintain a rigid body. Safety Warning: Neurosurgeons warn that trying this without specialized training and equipment could lead to significant injuries, such as facial or spinal damage. Evolution: While the video used wires, the patented shoe mechanism was designed for live performances. #michaeljackson #michaeljacksonforever ...
