More fun than a barrel of monks

Roly poly Tibetan monks having roly poly fun (FB link) doing handstands badly over barrels.

An abbreviated Imgur link gif.

Tibetan girls a little more skilled at the same game but still silly.

Brief info. On special occasions, such as Tibetan New Year, Losar, Tibetans, including monks, may have a "folk sports" day with a tug of war, horse racing, wrestling, jumping, playing "Dieguo," a traditional Tibetan folk sport using a stone to hit an oxhorn and other competitions.

Most excellent - what fun. So much laughing!

Also, such exercise is really good for your back.

Oh that was great! I think I'd be the guy on the far side who keeps balking at the last second and then finally just dives over the barrel awkwardly.
