I've seen clips of them before, they were fantastic!!  Flexible, athletic & very talented, pretty girls! 
One of them (Dixie) died aged 33 after an overdose, needless to say the other two have also passed on! :'(

That is an incredible act!  Some of those feats are new to me, in an age when we have seen everything from the Chinese performers.  Being able to bend backwards from the "hay loft" to pick up the apple in her teeth and hoist herself back to the vertical would appear to be beyond human capacity.

I'll bring my video of the Chinese acrobatic team, you bring your fave and we'll pit them one against the other.
That's as close as I'll ever get to that kind of skill.
