Red Barrows

There really are some weird people around. I got this from the website of a local paper in Hull, England.

There's a video on that site. It's amazing!!

Those magnificent men in their flying machines may thrill at high altitude - but the East Riding's answer to the Red Arrows are ready to tear up the turf.

The Red Barrows, a nine-strong wheelbarrow display team, will be dazzling audiences with some daredevil "diddling", split-second crisscrossing and white-knuckle "wheeling about a bit".

Barrows founder and squadron leader Will Richardson, 52, said the group was looking forward to lift off for its debut performance on Sunday at the Midsummer Music Madness concert in Brantingham Park, Elloughton.

See the barrow boys video here.

This is, for lack of a better word, cool.
The article goes on to explain that these folks banded to gether to raise money for cancer research. The video doesn't seem to appear on the linked page, but we found some footage of them on (of course) YouTube.
