So today I worked on some trampoline skills at the most amazing circus training backyard in the world. Decades of awesome rigging all set up and ready to use.
There was also a 64′ high-perch for high dives. So I climbed it. I met a stuntman who jumps off this into airbags, or tanks with a mere 6′ of water. Sometimes he’s on fire.
