"In Germany, Lucky Hofmaier starts a long walk, from Regensburg to Rome, a distance of 683 miles. It's an especially long walk if you do it on your hands as Lucky does! It's the result of a bet and distance walker Hofmaier thinks he'll average 18 miles a day and make it to Rome in about 38 days. Hands down! MS - LUCKY HOFMAIER donning gloves on street before stunt, surrounded by press and spectators. Nice side view MS - Newsreel cameraman shooting Lucky with small Arri 35mm film camera.

MS - Traffic cop directing traffic; once the street is clear, Lucky crosses the street on his hands, large crowd walking on their god-given feet beside him. TLS/MSs - Lucky walking on his hands through streets.
