A man steps onto the car and has nowhere to go. The car is completely full and the only place for him to stand is just out of reach of all the handles and rails which surround him. Yet he stands, not a bead of sweat forming in the uncomfortable heat, totally composed, never losing his balance, without ever using an external means of support. Even as the numbers begin to dwindle near the end of the line, he remains in his place, totally unshaken by the quickly accelerating train.
T surfing is what I call it. It takes talent and practice to be able to achieve that level of stability on the T.
