Ghanaian Street Acrobats

We saw these guys doing these crazy handstand things and had to check it out. Apparently they are an acrobatic group that has been training together since they were kids. However they also work construction and this was just a little free time spent impressing some Obroni's. The guys saw us watching from a ways away and invited us over to watch all these fantastic tricks and to take pictures. It is really really impressive and these may be some of the strongest guys I have ever met.

They would do a handstand thing on these wooden blocks and then flip backwards onto their feet. It takes incredible balance as well as athleticism and I have to admit I'm pretty jealous.

This guy is halfway though doing his backflip from the handstand. These guys also did some straight flips off the ground that were really cool to watch.

I am not even sure what to call this

This was probably the most impressive trick they did for us. They actually stood like this long enough for us to take a picture.

This picture captured a guy halfway through a near fall. However as you can sort of tell they could stand on one anothers heads, so like stacking people. And they did not even use a stool or bend down. The guy one bottom would just sort of throw the other one up on his head. You have to be very strong but also compact and lightweight so that you don't put a burden on the other guys. 

Ya...he is actually balancing a shovel on his forehead.

They were pretty flexible guys. I know some people who can put a leg over their head but I don't believe any of them do it while standing on their buddies shoulder.
