I once saw a movie of this routine taken in the Peru winterquarters in the early 1930s. What amazed me was that the elephant trotted at full gait about 75-100 feet while holding the man who swung back and forth quite rapidly. Anyone want to replicate this act?

I am sure this feat has been repeated by several bulling elephants and possibly a bit of foot ball soccer work added.No photos though.
