Interesting... those round pyramids at Guáchimontones had a place in the top to mount a centre pole for "flying dancers"... so the tradition goes back a LONG time.

Buenos Dias Griff, below is an artist's rendition of the very first Aztec El Voladore to perform the flying dance at what is now Mexico City.Interesting... those round pyramids at Guáchimontones had a place in the top to mount a centre pole for "flying dancers"... so the tradition goes back a LONG time.
Painting is on the side of Bosque de Chapultepec Pyramid, now site of the Museo Nacional De Historia Natural, next to President's Palace.
Hombre was named Alfonso and he's shown here with his faithful burro Alex, they performed for years until they sadly fell on their heads!

Mis Amigos, you have never lived until you have gone on a motorcycle group ride with 700 Mexican Motorcyclists! Imagine going on a 300 mile group ride with your local friends, but instead of you leading you have now let HotRodZilla lead the group. Dios Mio, Que Lastima. Wild Ass Ride through Guadalajara, Mascota and Puerto Vallarta!
The 700 bike ride pack was crazy and fun.
