Danger Dan’s Last Ride on The Flying Circus

The Flying Circus is still Dan’s most significant creation. Not only because of the stunts that were pioneered, the insane scale of some of the moves nor the films that were shot there; it’s the journey he was on while building the trail that left an indelible mark.

Back in the late 90s Dan was home for Christmas. He’d been teaching in Sweden but while back in Canada he had a pain in one of his testicles. Soon after he was in surgery and then chemo began. Building The Flying Circus became part of his treatment – and it likely played a role in his successful recovery.
