This is the hilarious moment locals participated in a tumbling game in China.

Two men raced by rolling over a barrel during a game event in Namucuo, Tibet, on July 1.

Footage shows the participants performing a backward roll on the large cylindrical container to retrieve an item from the other side, then rolling back to do a backflip to win the game.

The duo struggled as the metal drum was too tall for them to move onto comfortably causing them to topple over.

The comical competition elicited excitement and laughter from the onlookers.

Tibetan games are often linked to religious festivals and rituals, celebrating events that honour deities or mark historical milestones. These competitions are believed to bring blessings, good luck, and prosperity.
