The around the "world" human flag tour

[Blondie]

My 16 y.o. (will turn 17 in a month) prides himself on being able to do what his friends term "the human flag." It takes a great deal of upper body and arm strength to be able to pull this off. I know I'd kill myself if I tried it!

We always made sure nobody was around that could get accidentally hit by his legs, knocked over, walked into, etc. and my DH always made sure the pole he was using was firmly planted in the ground. My DH was always right there to spot him as well (just out of camera's way) There were many poles he couldn't grab onto either due to the width of the pole, or because my DH didn't think it was safe (as in wobbily.) Unfortunately, many of the poles were just too wide for his hands so we only have what you see below!

So...without further a do, here he is! He can hold himself sideways like that for a good minute!

That is so cool, Blondie!!! Look at his arm muscles!!! I'm sure Anthony is very strong . . . do you get him to open jars for you?

Thanks for sharing those neat pictures!!!

 

[Blondie]

Yes, he's my jar opener!

Great pictures, Blondie, glad to see you got them, and got them up. Seems like he was just a little guy not all that long ago. Sure is a strong kid.

I use to do that, but gave it up when I turned 60. Plus, as tall as I am, I blocked too many walkways with my long legs, LOL.

 

[Blondie]

LOL Dan, I'd like to see a photo of that!

 

[liznboys]

Wow, that's very impressive!! He must be quite strong! Neat pix.

LOL to Dan!

The best part is how not one single person is watching him in the photos.

I think their great pics and actually sort of funny. Sign that kid of for LaNouba!!!!!

By the way, dont let the Mouse Security see him doing that on those skinny poles. By the look of the slight bending, I'm sure they'd probably lay an egg if they saw that.

Great pics and great talent! Seriously he should do something with that.

We always made sure nobody was looking when he did it, didn't want to cause a ruckus or anything, especially with security!
