opportunity to experience flight now this is something that humans have

this is something that humans have

this is something that humans have dreamed about for millennia we’ve always

dreamed about for millennia we’ve always

dreamed about for millennia we’ve always wanted to be able to fly we’ve watched

wanted to be able to fly we’ve watched

wanted to be able to fly we’ve watched birds we’ve loved the idea of being in

machines we can do that now many people when they

we can do that now many people when they

we can do that now many people when they see a flying trapeze rig for the first

see a flying trapeze rig for the first

see a flying trapeze rig for the first time the first thing that comes to mind

time the first thing that comes to mind

time the first thing that comes to mind is the stories that we’ve been told

is the stories that we’ve been told

is the stories that we’ve been told since we were young that the people that

since we were young that the people that

since we were young that the people that fly in the flying trapeze are daring and

fly in the flying trapeze are daring and

fly in the flying trapeze are daring and death-defying and that the tricks are

death-defying and that the tricks are

death-defying and that the tricks are dangerous and there’s some element of

dangerous and there’s some element of

dangerous and there’s some element of that that might be true but what I do

that that might be true but what I do

that that might be true but what I do with my dream machines is I build a safe

with my dream machines is I build a safe

with my dream machines is I build a safe place for people to experience flying on

place for people to experience flying on

place for people to experience flying on the flying trapeze

now the flying trapeze was originally

now the flying trapeze was originally built by Jules leotard in 1859 in France

built by Jules leotard in 1859 in France

built by Jules leotard in 1859 in France and over the years since people have

and over the years since people have

and over the years since people have been flying and swinging and learning to

been flying and swinging and learning to

been flying and swinging and learning to do new tricks on the trapeze what we do

do new tricks on the trapeze what we do

do new tricks on the trapeze what we do with my team of people is we teach

with my team of people is we teach

with my team of people is we teach people of all ages from six to 80 how to

people of all ages from six to 80 how to

people of all ages from six to 80 how to do simple tricks and how to do complex

do simple tricks and how to do complex

do simple tricks and how to do complex tricks on the flying trapeze now

tricks on the flying trapeze now

tricks on the flying trapeze now everybody that flies on the flying

everybody that flies on the flying

everybody that flies on the flying trapeze has a little bit different

trapeze has a little bit different

I have to say that when I first saw a

I have to say that when I first saw a flying trapeze I was mesmerised

flying trapeze I was mesmerised

flying trapeze I was mesmerised I’ve always liked climbing on things and

I’ve always liked climbing on things and

I’ve always liked climbing on things and I’ve always liked jumping off of things

I’ve always liked jumping off of things

I’ve always liked jumping off of things and it seemed like a natural extension

when I first found the flying trapeze

when I first found the flying trapeze rig that became the thing for me now

rig that became the thing for me now

rig that became the thing for me now what we do here is we teach everybody

what we do here is we teach everybody

what we do here is we teach everybody how to fly in the flying trapeze rig

how to fly in the flying trapeze rig

how to fly in the flying trapeze rig that way so typically you’ll feel you’ll

that way so typically you’ll feel you’ll

that way so typically you’ll feel you’ll you’ll start your first experience on

you’ll start your first experience on

you’ll start your first experience on the flying trapeze rig by walking up to

the flying trapeze rig by walking up to

the flying trapeze rig by walking up to the ladder and you’ll put your hands on

the ladder and you’ll put your hands on

the ladder and you’ll put your hands on the ladder and you’ll climb up and

the ladder and you’ll climb up and

the ladder and you’ll climb up and you’ll find yourself two and a half

you’ll find yourself two and a half

you’ll find yourself two and a half stories above the ground and you’ll look

stories above the ground and you’ll look

stories above the ground and you’ll look down at the ground and you’ll see the

down at the ground and you’ll see the

down at the ground and you’ll see the net and then the ground down beyond it

net and then the ground down beyond it

net and then the ground down beyond it now a lot of people are a little nervous

now a lot of people are a little nervous

now a lot of people are a little nervous when there are two and a half stories

when there are two and a half stories

when there are two and a half stories above the ground and that’s

above the ground and that’s

above the ground and that’s understandable but we always have a team

understandable but we always have a team

understandable but we always have a team of people working with all of our

looked at each other we were teaching

looked at each other we were teaching people how to function even when they

people how to function even when they

people how to function even when they were afraid now a lot of people when

were afraid now a lot of people when

were afraid now a lot of people when they fly in the trapeze they’re a little

they fly in the trapeze they’re a little

they fly in the trapeze they’re a little bit nervous but they’ve learned that you

bit nervous but they’ve learned that you

bit nervous but they’ve learned that you can work through the nervousness and

can work through the nervousness and

can work through the nervousness and that even when you’re afraid you can

that even when you’re afraid you can

that even when you’re afraid you can still function so that means that in

still function so that means that in

still function so that means that in your day to day life

your day to day life

your day to day life if you experience anxiety about

if you experience anxiety about

if you experience anxiety about something you know I’ve flown on the

something you know I’ve flown on the

something you know I’ve flown on the trapeze if I can get caught on the

trapeze if I can get caught on the

trapeze if I can get caught on the trapeze I can do anything right so over

trapeze I can do anything right so over

trapeze I can do anything right so over the course of the training that we do we

the course of the training that we do we

the course of the training that we do we teach people to fly and eventually they

teach people to fly and eventually they

teach people to fly and eventually they learn quite a bit about themselves they

learn quite a bit about themselves they

learn quite a bit about themselves they use the trapeze rig as a tool

use the trapeze rig as a tool

use the trapeze rig as a tool to expand their world and weaves it as a

to expand their world and weaves it as a

to expand their world and weaves it as a tool to expand our world as well and

tool to expand our world as well and

tool to expand our world as well and they learn to fly and they learned to

they learn to fly and they learned to

they learn to fly and they learned to work together and they learn to believe

work together and they learn to believe

work together and they learn to believe in themselves and eventually if you keep

in themselves and eventually if you keep

in themselves and eventually if you keep flying on the trapeze you do learn a lot
