Sokol slets

Slets were mass gymnastics and calisthenics made popular by the Sokols.

I think they look awesome.

Today, North Korea uses a similar effect for propaganda purposes.



It's time to reclaim mass exercise and mass dancing from totalitariasm.

British group Out of Print Projects (OoPPS) is reclaiming slet.

It was so cold today and even colder tonight. I should be doing some tidying up tonight, but there is always tomorrow.
