I have never seen this trick before, but leave it up to Bob Hofmeister to do it. I notice the gimmick on the back of the barrel to keep it from going backwards.

This is a picture of Bob Hofmeister’s roller skating burro. To my knowledge…this act is one of a kind. The little fellow actually roller skated and delighted the crowd. The skates were made to go forward only.
