In the above photograph you can see some young people peforming Powerbocking during the Saltaire Festival 2009. From L to R in the picture they are Peter Laffan, Victoria, Romeo and Steve. The guy in the air above them is Simion.
Now that I live in Saltaire, Yorkshire attending the Saltaire Festival is a short stroll from my front door.
I was very pleased to catch these young people on their spring-loaded stilts performing acrobatics for a crowd of people outside the Victoria Hall in Saltaire. I say pleased because by chance I took pictures of a couple of lads powerbocking in Leeds city centre a few weeks back.
I like many in the crowd watching was amazed by some of the acrobatics performed for the crowd by Simion, seen doing a somersault in the above photo.
Peter Laffan is upside down whilst somersaulting in the above image watched by Victoria and some junior members of the crowd.
I will post a few more stories from the Saltaire Festival 2009 over the next few datys.
