Dressed in full martial arts attire, Jiakai looked every inch like cultural icon Bruce Lee as his antics attracted plenty of attention.

It took Jiakai an hour to complete the unusual task which no doubt would have left him in a spin.

It was a valiant effort from the 47-year-old who didn't stop or stand up during the whole event - although the reason for his hour of head-spinning is not yet known.

The local builder was aided by his brother-in-law throughout the stunt, who acted as an escort and witness to the bizarre spectacle.

It seems his apprentice struggled to keep up with the acrobatic stuntman however, revealing: 'His tumbling is really faster than our walking.'
