We coerced Danger off Bowen and then dragged him up to the Circus.
And then the fun began.

Have a look here...

wow probably the coolest vid on the shore in a long time.
I totally forgot the impact that Dan had.
Mad props!

Excellent short film, and nice to honour the Circus. Thanks!

This could be the start of a good history project.

awesome. many memories up there. circus / starfish / groove / boundary used to be our standard circuit. much fun / carnage of bikes [HTML_REMOVED] bodies ensued. the tongue was my nemesis; many attempts, never cleaned. once ripped my rear brake line out falling off that and ended up hitting lobotomizer sans brake. amazed the discombobulator is still functioning; another low percentage stunt. the skybridge exit drop to flat or slightly uphill depending on your exit speed was epic as well. masochistic hitting that knowing the inevitable pain, but we did it every time regardless. being scared of heights as well, it was actually therapeutic riding the skybridge - the first time i saw the thing i was freaking just walking across the thing; somehow the change of focus in riding a bike allowed me to (somewhat) overcome that. good times; every ride an adventure!

and: fantastic vid! great content guys.

Hey Dan,

I got a slew of bike parts I'm never going to use or get around to sell in the garage…yours if you want em….Chumba F4 frame and a new Boxxer WC (NSMB SPonsor gear maybe 2004)….other assorted bits…

Some of my best biking memories where riding and hiking your old creations…send me an email [email protected] and I can meet you in H.Bay

Oh I liked this, made me smile the whole way through :D.
Skinnies are the one thing I can't ride, so they always amaze me when I see them ridden or just generally built at all. Every one I find I always try to walk, but hardly ever ride. I don't know if I'd even walk the flying circus though, crazy :eek:!
Props to nsmb and more props to Dan! Definitely another vote for more :clap:.

I really enjoyed that great edit. I took a peek at the circus earlier in the summer when i was up there, it really is hard to appreciate how intense the trail is until you see it in person it blew me away that Dan still rode the rediculator, that takes some serious skill.

I have some good memories of attempting to ride stuff on that trail. It was just so completely insane that you felt a compulsion to try things that were way beyond your limit. Looking back on it, I'm amazed that I didn't get hurt.
I chuckle every time I ride past the exit, knowing that hardly anyone even knows that a trail was once there.

I will also agree with Dan that trailbuilding is excellent therapy when going through an ordeal that has you staring down death.
