Walking on your hands is very tiresome

Handwalking by ArtMagenta










I had an uncle, Alexis, who at the age of 11 decided to walk on his hands everyday to schoool.

This was 1931 an continued for 3 whole weeks and it was noticed in the local press.

Maybe Alexis was inspired by Johann Hurlinger, an Austrian man who walked on his hands from Paris to Vienna in 1900.
