dagsays...Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)
I propose the portmanteau "helilator" for this move.
(or escacopter)
videosiftbannedmesays...GJ, maatc!
kronosposeidonsays...Nice going, maatc!
I'd try it, but it too closely resembles how I lost my virginity.
siftbotsays...Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Tuesday, July 8th, 2008 3:16pm PDT - promote requested by kronosposeidon.
lucky760says...I like "escalopter."

Escalopter it is then.
maatcsays...Thanks guys!
Surprised how short the clip actually turned out.
The two rounds I did felt like at least five! The escalopter bends time!
gwiz665says...If you could eat a sandwich at the same time, I would throw my first-born at you.
Next day
German Times - "Man chokes on a sandwich causing horrific escalopter accident"

8369says...This might have been better if the girl laughing behind the camera had done it instead. JK, good job.
antsays...I like the lady took the escalator after the attempt.
budzossays...Escalopter is kind of meaningless from a latin root stand point. How about Escaheli? No? Escalopter it is then...
swampgirlsays...>> ^kronosposeidon:

Gee thanks Kronos.. I'll be mentally trying to figure that one out all day now.
choggiesays...Whoa mate, dizzzying speed, your expression is one of satisfaction and disorientation.....I'd pay to see ya strip down to yer skivvies and do it butter side down.....!!
choggiesays...Escalopter
The novel activity executed on an escalator, whereby subject lies rigid with mid to lower back touching both handrails moving in opposing directions, and spinning slowly around in place.
"That escalopter ride had that old lady tripping over herself when she saw it. Mall security took our pictures on closed-circuit tv's. I stole this Prada coin purse."

maybe urban dictionary will take it....congrats mattac
my15minutessays...^ massive upvote for "butter side down".
maatc - many thanks for giving me a reason to google the unrecognized name of the store in the background:

swampgirlsays...Agh! butter side down.. more mental imagery to haunt my day
maatcsays...I actually tried it lying down on my
bellybutter side down, but its hard to get the feet up over the railing that way.I guess a perfect 10 would be to do barrelrolls at the same time.
Hope to see some fresh moves from all of you soon!
deathcowsays...I want to see someone with a *severe* weight problem try it.
calvadossays...Sehr gut!
djsunkidsays...Do a Barrel Roll!
lucky760says...How in the heck did this happen? I just google'd escalopter (again) and found the page below with a link to the original escalopter video (the girl) and the thumbnail image is titled "escalopter.jpg". It definitely wasn't there before we coined the phrase, so I ask you, how in the heck did they discover our © term? Neato.

choggiesays...Congrats maatc, and to all who helped and encouraged yas.....
lucky760says...Haha! That's so awesome. Wish I knew what is said in the interview, but how cool is that. You're famous and you're making "escalopter" famous, so much so that someone has already registered escalopter.com.
