| Description: | "MOTOR CYCLE GYMNASTS - Clever and amusing display at München." München (Munich), Germany. Shot of man apparently in German uniform driving a motorcycle from the sidecar. A cyclist with sidecar pops the sidecar up over some low obstacles. Then he gets off the motorcycle, and while it rolls slowly forward, he crawls under a table, emerges, and remounts the bike. Another does the same. A car drives on two 2x4s with balloons tied to each side, and none pop. A driver performs gymnastics on a platform six or eight feet above the car, then climbs down to steer. A man is seen operating the strange machine being a 'crazy scientist' and he produces great clouds of thick smoke cheers and laughter heard off the screen. A funny Roman-style chariot procession, with the horses replaced by motorcycles. An acrobatic pyramid mounted between two motorbikes and with two men dressed as bears. They drive off, with two of them hanging from a pole. | |
