Impressive Russian Bar performance


"A Russian Bar or Russian Barre circus act which combines the gymnastic skills of the balance beam, the rebound tempo skills of trampoline and the swing handstands skills of the uneven bars and the parallel bars. The barre itself is a flexible vaulting pole around 4 meters long, typically made of fiberglass."

The performance above was recorded at the Circus Festival at Monte Carlo. I am amazed not just by the skill of the "flyers" but by the athleticism of the two holding the pole.
