After the 16 junior and senior carnival bands jump and wind on Saturday, the road march still wouldn't be the road march without the grand finale from the tumblers. They've been gracing the streets with their pavement gymnastics for more than three decades, and the hardest part is that they're always training new recruits. We caught up with the group training at the Fred Westby Park this evening and by the looks of things, they are more than ready to sail above the pavement on Saturday, but the trainer did say that some extra help from the community would take them an even longer way.
There are about 35 to 40 tumblers in the group.
