The Ikorodu Bois are back, and have set their sights on flashy, skillful BMX tricks of other youngsters.
The group from Lagos, Nigeria have found social media stardom for remaking scenes from famous music videos and Hollywood movies.
In their latest video, they mimic an impressive clip in which several young guys exchange their bikes whilst cycling.
In the video, which is not the Ikorodu Bois, the guys cycle along, and they’re not going slowly, when three of them dismount at the same time, leaving their bikes heading down the road. Then they race to catch up to another’s bike and hop on, not stopping once.
The clip ends as the boy in front wheelies slickly into the distance.
In the Ikorodu rendition however, the boys from Lagos are not riding stylish BMXs, but rickety old wheelbarrows pushed by other boys.
One of the barrows is even fitted with rear-view mirrors and a fetching black frame.
As always, the Bois find humour in their own poverty whilst subtly making fun of the flashy nature of viral clips.
It’s a classic Ikorodu clip, and well worth a watch.
