this book is geared for circus stunts, mostly acrobatics, and none of it is directed towards vaulters who do gymnastics on moving horses. howvever, if this book is carefully read, one can find all sorts of tips on the simplest things, such as handstands, to more intricate lifts. our vaulting club has found it to be a very good resource.

This book covers a wide variety of techniques and is very logically arranged. The sections on advanced techniques all have very good safety tips. The section on how to construct your own eqiupment was especially good.

I got the bug to learn how to wire walk. Okay, so I'm not going to do it from very high, but I've been using a Rolla-bolla board to improve my balance and this is a next step. This book covers all kinds of circus acts and gives you a step by step program toward learning how to do them. You still have to develop the physical skills, but this does a great job of getting you there without personal training. I love it!

I read the reviews and the book is awesome. nice progressions, i really enjoyed his thought process on how to improve and why.
