Re: Yeah, Right!
Update on the circus act.
Trust me, those guys are nuts! and even more nuts is the young lady standing in the centre. But the finale when they turned all the tent lights out and the three bikes only had some bright marker lights on was really a shocker.
My daughter filmed most of it. When she has it sorted I'll post it up.

Re: Yeah, Right!
I think "nuts" is relative. (Of course, you capture that in recognizing that the woman is a unprotected standing duck in that death-trap globe.)
No doubt those performers have practiced for hundreds of hours in that cage. They've probably broken bones in there. Nobody gets good at anything difficult without making a lot of mistakes. And I'm sure they had tremendous control of their bikes BEFORE they attempted the cage. Still, that's some wild stuff.
Now, is it more nuts than getting on the busy interstate with cars going 80 and drivers distracted because they need to check that text or reply to some meme on their phone? At least their fellow performers have a laser focus on the task at hand. Hmm.
