Louie Knie



Courtesy of Thomas Bohner The Modern Day Teide.

This is some great footage of a young Louis Knie. Note the rattan and long willow whips Switzerland was known for, and now almost impossible to find. This is the act that eventually ended up in America.



When this was completed it was one of the best riding acts I have seen. Rivaled only by GGW on Ringling

Would give my right arm for some of those whips and rattans over here.
