Bob Top & Edna

Bob Top and Edna were in a class by themselves! Performing on their high platform, both indoors and outdoors, they made the audience scream with every spin. The degree of danger cannot be measured. And, as an example of the maximum degree of TRUST in her husband, Edna, who was truly scared of height, did the complete act with her eyes shut! True!

There are others who performed on skates, but Bob Top and Edna took their art and courage to new “heights”! They stand alone for their incredible, dizzying and truly “death defying “EXTRAORDINARY” exhibition!
