Handstands, head balance, and other stuff with the weight entirely supported on the hands. All signs of intensive training and hard work building strength... and training of course, is what we love to do! Enjoy these successes (well, mainly successes - there are some rather odd body shapes to be seen!)... That's Christiano Rujano from Venuzuela, working professionally in Spain now, and seen in the next vid with his dad as supporter... ...and more in training... That one, inverse handstand from manna, is impressive... you would normally see a final jump to turn the hands around, but he didn't need it! ...and, to finish this post, a different kind of balance challenge!  

A bit of an unusual post this time - a lot of videos first of all featuring one particular pair of guys who look to be us to be heading towards world champion status before long in acrobatic gymnastics. These guys post a lot on Instagram and, although there is quite a lot of repetition of the same basic skill in these recent posts, there is much to be admired. Then some other handbalance stuff to make up the usual size of post. We start with one in which the 'base' combines revising for an exam with their training. Now some professionals in training and showing off... Now handbalancers working on their own... Two circus boys practising now: Christiano Rujano is from Venuzuela: More shots of Christiano - and father Sam - in performance:  Ilya Molotov is in Russia Others... We finish this post off with some more shots of Christiano and Sam... not handbalancing as such but definitely logical to include here! These are just some of the performers and amateur acrobatics lovers we fo...

A lot of videos focussed around acrobatic gymnastics and subsequent professional work. Some still images too. We avoid basic solo handstands since we cover those in special posts anyway. The first gym to be featured, in California, we have seen before in several posts. Sorry for poor video quality on the next one, but the boy's talent makes it worth including... Adam Upcott on top for the next one... A small challenge next... ... ... A bit wobbly, but they got there!     Despite the setting, this next is unusual - to put a girl on top in a foursome is not a recognised move in formal acrobatic gymnastics... For another free head balance, we have Christiano Rujano performing on his own:   For this last video, we add a teeter board... Yes, we have let a few individual performers in there, so here's another video of 'tricking' on the beach: And a farewell flip for now!
