The Traveling Circus crew are into their fourth year of documenting skid life and some of the most creative jibbing out there.  With filmer/editor Shane McFalls following Will Wesson, Andy Parry, and their crew of talented jiblet friends, T.C. has managed to inspire countless kids to go out and get after it.  It certainly helps that their style of jibbing unique features (see: items from the dump) is something that kids can relate to- having fun around their own neighborhoods.  Just don’t do it in the park.

Now, I personally prefer skiing pow and big mountains to say, attempting to noseblock onto a rail…but these dudes make skiing park and thin snow look fantastic.  Their version of “playing around” is truly impressive stuff. On that note- has anyone else run a marathon- then followed it up with an afternoon of hiking a jump and stomping backflips?  LJ Strenio can claim that one.   (Takes it two steps further: Sub 3:30…and backflip screamin’ semen).  Also of note is Will Wesson’s pole flip to pole bounce off the rail he’s sliding (at about 9:40 in the vid).

Hats off for their creativity.
