China’s Acrobats are Second to None

Acrobats in China have to take a back seat to no one. The acrobats can do amazing thing, one finger handstands – probably a hoax – but a very good one.

I stumbled across this picture of a bicyclist performing a stunt 1000 meters (3300 ft) above ground in the Chaibuxi National Forest Park in the Wufeng Tujia Minority Autonomous County, part of Hubei Province.

It reminded me of a guy who pushed a wheel barrow on a string across Niagara Falls. The crowd went wild until the show had to be stopped because of high winds.

One guy in particular egged on the acrobat – "Amazing! You can do anything! Do it again! The wind is no matter. You can do it!"

To that the acrobat asked, "Do you really think I can do anything?"

The man replied, "Certainly you can."

"Get in the wheel barrow," the acrobat said.

The show stopped.
