The Globe of Death

I recently took the kids to the circus and couldn’t help observe what an anachronistic enterprise it was. The pacing of the entire show and the events themselves were relatively ho-hum compared to the stimulation overload experienced by today’s kids. Animal trainer? Trapeze? Clowns? Yawn.

 

But I gotta tell you, the grand finale – 7 motorcyclists in a steel globe - was UNBELIEVABLE! And may have been worth the price of admission – it certainly accurately described “death-defying.”

 

Now comes word that the Ringling Brothers circus act is going to try for a world record 8 cyclists in the sphere at one time.
