When's the last time you went to the circus? It's probably been a good couple of years, since nobody has time for proper, clean fun these days. Which means you haven't seen somebody juggle balls in a while, all the more reason to watch this next video.
It was recently published by GoPro, the makers of our favorite hooning film equipment, shows how one man in Brazil is making a living out of standing on a stack of wooden boxes and jugging in traffic.
Standing in front Rio de Janeiro traffic at rush hour takes nerves of steel which this unknown juggling hero clearly has that. Any minute now, the stretch of tarmac on which he performs will re-become a busy three-lane highway. But his hands move back and forth without a care or worry of what might happen next.
If you think his job is easy, think again. It's really hard reaching the hearts of regular pedestrians in a park with all the time in the world. However, people comfortably sealed inside glass and steel containers on wheels… that's got to be tricky.
In a country where wages are quite low, finding extra income is important, but the busy streets also offer something else, just as important as money: an outlet to express their creativity in front of a constantly changing audience. You just don't know what might happen next, just like you don't know what your camera could capture.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
