Hey Lorenzo, take a chill pill!!

I haven't been able to figure out why folks think Lorenzo, the flying Frenchman is something special. I think it is because in the larger performance/rodeo arenas here in America we may have seen what he does a quite a bit more. In the smaller venues of Europe, roman riding may not be as well known. Above is Stacey Anderson Diaz talented daughter of Donny and JoAnn Anderson of the Texas White Horse Troup, and below is the "horseman sensation from France."



In the video above he actually got Alvin and the chipmunks to cut a demo for him. LOL

I've never seen the Texas White Horse Troupe, though i've heard they are very good. but i was very impressed with this act. it's fast, well-costumed, and lorenzo styles well. i think he would be a big hit on ringling or cole, if the act were sold right.

Henry,
Look at the horses all tangled up in the lines. Anything, including Elephant shit can be a big hit, if it is sold right. I saw some artificial roses that sold for 16.00 apiece made out of the stuff. With respect this is way lame, and way over promoted.

Anonymous,
You get a name then and only then can you have a valid thought. I only need to look at the tangled mess of lines to see what it is. I only need to look at the GQ type advertising to know it is lame, pushing the male version of t & a.
The Andersons worked their liberty acts in some of the most horrendous venues imaginable, given the environment. Not the same every day, custom suited environments of the European liberty acts. If you had ever dealt with one you would realize that. What the hell does high school have to do with post riding? Let's see the flying Frenchmans piaffe.

Addendum to Anonymous,
I didn't say he was elephant shit, I said even elephant shit can be a big hit, if it is sold right.

And this guy works where? That tangled mess of lines is inconceivable to me. I once sat in a wagon and tried to hold the lines of an eight horse hitch in my hands and panicked and did not even try to move the hitch.
the Flying Frenchman in this video looses control way before the tangled mess but does nothing to slow down and fix it and those guys in the coveralls don't seem to respond to help. Would much rather see a good Courrier of St Petersburg by Katajia Schumann even with P. Binder supposedly minding the horses than this mess.
