- Summary
- British Pathe synopsis: "Some folk jump and others glide through life. Here’s a champion who rolls through it." M/S of a man standing in a pool of water on top of a small log. He balances on the log, rolling it. A large crowd of people watch the performance. Closer shot of the man reveals that he is wearing roller skates. He rolls on the log in his skates. He then skips with a rope on top of the log. "As the last wasn’t difficult enough, our friend made his job a bit harder." We see the same man on top of a large ball in the water. He runs along on top of the ball.
