Watch out bottle flipping dude, you have new challengers.

These school kids from New Zealand have devised a diabolically addictive lunch time activity: Flipping chairs so they land perfectly on their legs.

It's a feat of immense skill that's been captured on video and uploaded to the Facebook page of Corban Baker, since receiving more than a million views.

Baker and his friend Cosmo Everett-Wells have done it before, but this is the first time they considered recording one and trying a few different tricks, according to stuff.co.nz.

"Everyone was kind of watching us and getting into it, so we thought, 'let's do this yeah, let's make something out of this'," Everett-Wells told the publication. Each trick took at least 20 takes, some took up to 50 to get right.

While it isn't likely that this brand new sport will make any sort of Olympics in the near future, it's a stupid conquest that is pretty damn entertaining.
